GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

To help prevent unnecessary complications during the oil fill process, no undue load should be placed on the oil baffle attached to the inside of the valve cover (see illustration). This baffle is designed to deflect oil and should not be used to support the weight of heavy oil fill devices. These devices can place stress on the baffle, and bend or break it during the oil fill process.

APPLICABLE VEHICLES: All 1993 - 2003 model year Toyota vehicles.

OIL FILLING PROCEDURE:







Please take measures to ensure that the baffle is not damaged during the oil fill process. If it does become damaged, repair it before any collateral damage occurs.

NOTE:
Issue of this Technical Service Bulletin is to ensure that proper repair information is available. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUTHORIZATION FOR REPAIR. Normal provisions of the formal warranty policy, as applicable, will apply.
