NOTICE
Never attempt to machine the cylinder because it has a thin liner thickness.

4. Cylinder Block
Lightweight aluminum alloy is used for the cylinder block.
By producing the thin cast-iron liners and cylinder block as a unit, compaction is realized.
Air passage holes are provided in the crankshaft bearing area of the cylinder block. As a result, the air at
the bottom of the cylinder flows smoother, and pumping loss (back pressure at the bottom of the piston
generated by the piston’s reciprocal movement) is reduced to improve the engine’s output.
The oil filter and the air conditioning compressor brackets are integrated into the crankcase. Also, the
water pump swirl chamber and thermostat housing are integrated into the cylinder block.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
1. General
The lubrication circuit is fully pressurized and oil passes through an oil filter.
The trochoid gear type oil pump is chain-driven by the crankshaft.
The oil filter is attached downward from the crankcase to improve serviceability.
Along with the adoption of the VVT-i system, the cylinder head is provided with a VVT-i controller and
a camshaft timing oil control valve. This system is operated by the engine oil.

2. Oil Jet
Piston oil jets for cooling and lubricating the pistons are used in the cylinder block.
These oil jets contain a check valve to prevent oil from being fed when the oil pressure is low. This prevents
the overall oil pressure in the engine from dropping.

2. Oil Pump
A compact cycloid rotor type oil pump directly driven by the crankshaft is used.
This oil pump has used an internal relief method which circulates relief oil to the suction passage in the
oil pump. This aims to minimize oil level change in the oil pan, reduce friction, and reduce air mixing rate
in the oil.
3. Oil Jet
Oil jets for cooling and lubricating the pistons have been provided in the cylinder block, in the center of
the right and left banks.
These oil jets contain a check valve to prevent oil from being fed when the oil pressure is low. This prevents
the overall oil pressure in the engine from dropping.

Service Tip
The engine oil in the oil filter can be drained by removing the drain plug and inserting the drain
pipe supplied with the element into the oil filter. For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual
(Pub. No. RM01M1U).
The engine oil maintenance interval for a model that has an oil filter with a replaceable element
is the same as that for the conventional model.
EG-87
4. Oil Filter
An oil filter with a replaceable element is used. The element uses a high-performance filter paper to
improve filtration performance. It is also combustible for environmental protection.
An aluminum alloy filter cap is used to extend its life.
This oil filter has a structure which can drain the engine oil remaining in the oil filter. This prevents engine
oil from spattering when replacing the element and allows the technician to work without touching hot
engine oil.
