A pressure feeding lubrication system has been adopted to supply oil to the moving parts of this
engine. The lubrication system consists of an oil pan, oil pump, oil filter and other external parts
which supply oil to the moving parts in the engine block. The oil circuit is shown in the illustration
at the top of the previous page. Oil from the oil pan is pumped up by the oil pump. After it passes
through the oil filter, it is through the various oil holes in the crankshaft and cylinder block. After
passing through the cylinder block and performing its lubricating function, the oil is returned by
gravity to the oil pan. A dipstick on the center left side of the cylinder block is provided to check
the oil level.
OIL PUMP
The oil pump pumps up oil from the oil pan and feeds it under pressure to the various parts of the
engine. An oil strainer is mounted in front of the inlet to the oil pump to remove impurities. The
oil pump itself is a trochoid type pump, inside of which is a drive rotor and a driven rotor. When
the drive rotor rotates, the driven rotor rotates in the same direction, and since the axis of the
drive rotor shaft is different from the center of the driven rotor, the space between the two rotors
changes as they rotate. Oil is drawn in when the space widens and is discharged when the space
becomes narrow.
OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR (RELIEF VALVE)
At high engine speeds, the engine oil supplied by the oil pump exceeds the capacity of the engine
to utilize it. For that reason, the oil pressure regulator works to prevent an oversupply of oil.
During normal oil supply, a coil spring and valve keep the bypass closed, but when too much oil
is being fed, the pressure becomes extremely high, overpowering the force of the spring and
opening the valves. This allows the excess oil to flow through the valve and return to the oil pan.
OIL FILTER
The oil filter is a full flow type filter with a relief valve built into the paper filter element. Particles
of metal from wear, airborne dirt, carbon and other impurities can get into the oil during use and
could cause accelerated wear or seizing if allowed to circulate through the engine. The oil filter,
integrated into the oil line, removes these impurities as the oil passes through it. The filter is
mounted outside the engine to simplify replacement of the filter element. A relief valve is also
included ahead of the filter element to relieve the high oil pressure in case the filter element
becomes clogged with impurities. The relief valve opens when the oil pressure overpowers the
force of the spring. Oil passing through the relief valve bypasses the oil filter and flows directly
into the main oil hole in the engine.

FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine, and plays a major role in main-
taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil during normal
engine operation. The causes of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows.

Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil
is left on the cylinder wall when a pis-
ton moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when
the vehicle is decelerating sucks some
of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil
film left on the cylinder wall is burned
by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.

Oil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high±speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
When judging the amount of oil con-
sumption, note that the oil may become
diluted and make it difficult to judge
the true level accurately.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This
is because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.The diluting ingredients evaporate out
when the vehicle is then driven at high
speeds, as on an express way, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after driving at high speeds.
IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
One of the most important points in prop-
er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-
gine oil at the optimum level so that oil
function will not be impaired. Therefore, it
is essential that the oil level be checked
regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel
the vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check,
see ºChecking the engine oil levelº in
Chapter 7±2.

Tire surface and wheel nuts
Check the tires carefully for cuts, damage
or excessive wear. See Chapter 7±2 for
additional information. When checking the
tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and
check the nuts for looseness. Tighten
them if necessary.
Tire rotation
Rotate the tires every 12000 km (7500
miles). See Chapter 7±2 for additional in-
formation.
Fluid leaks
Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, wa-
ter or other fluid after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. If you smell fuel
fumes or notice any leak, have the cause
found and corrected immediately.
Doors and engine hood
Check that all doors including trunk lid
operate smoothly and all latches lock se-
curely. Make sure the engine hood sec-
ondary latch secures the hood from open-
ing when the primary latch is released.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE

If you notice any change in the sound of
the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have
the cause located and corrected immedi-
ately. (See engine exhaust cautions in
Part 2.)Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip±offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:

Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging

Appreciable loss of power

Strange engine noises

A leak under the vehicle (however, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)
