Toyota 4Runner/FJ CRUISER/Tacoma• Maintenance Tech Tips - OIL CONTROL VALVE/VVTI FILTER • Episode 14

Wishing you all a happy 4th of July.
Most if not all Toyota and Lexus Engines use an oil control valve filter or a VVT-i filter, depending on your vehicles engine.
When the oil control valve filter gets clogged up, it will cause a very substantial oil restriction to the cylinder heads valve train.
Goes without saying, that if left un-addressed it could take your engine out, due to oil starvation.
(Double check your part number before ordering the filter.)

I wished I had watched this code a couple of months ago. I own a 2005 Tacoma with the 4.0 engine. Toyato calls it the 1GR engine. It has 183,000 miles on it. I had a check engine light code PO022 which means the driver's side cyclinder head timing was being retarted. First I changed the oil, cleared the light and drove the vehicle for a week and the same code came back. Next I replaced the VVT Oil Solenoid on the driver's side cyclinder head, cleared the light and drove the vehicle for a week. Again the light came back on with the same code. Once I found out about the VVT filters (trust me, this is not common knowledge), I also replaced them. The video was right on. The passenger side is not that difficult. The driver's side is an entirely differ matter. Had to drop the skid plate, decompress the belt tensioner to take the belt off the alternator, remove the battery and finally remove the alternator. The filters were in pretty bad shape. The driver's side was sludged up pretty bad. The passenger side was worst. Not only was it sludged up but it appeared to have real fine metal fragments intingled in it. I thought that was okay because that was the job it was suppose to do. After all of this, the light still came back on and I took it to my local Toyota dealer. Long story short, Toyota told me the engine needed replacing at a cost of $14,000. Anyway I drained a quart of oil (used Royal Puple Oil and Filter since day one every 10,000 or yearly which ever occurrs first), and added a quart of Lucas synthetic oil additive for high mileage (70,000). Next I went and got a second opinion on my engine and was told by a Master Techinican that I had the Toyato "sewing machine sound" and that he did not see or heard anything to be concerned about. The check engine light has not come back on yet and it's been a couple of months. The second opinion mechanic left me with two take-awys. First don't be alarm if you see that the filters had sluge or metal fragments. If you pull a oil drain plug that has a magent, you will see real fine metal fragements on it, it's doing the job it was intented to do. Second is that shops are hiring young technicians that while they have the book knowledge, that lack experience. I hope my experience will help those out there that have been told they need to replace the engine. Let me end by saying that I never did experience an overheated engine, no loss of power, no oil burning or smoking. CASE CLOSED!

Would you recommend changing BOTH gaskets for EACH oil pipe? (So, 4 total). Reason I ask is because I imagine where the oil pipe touches the gaskets, it might come loose when taking out bolt and oil control valve filter. I'm not sure on that but I couldn't quite see in the video. Wouldn't hurt to pick up a few extra gaskets in case either way. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I never knew they existed.

[@VikingsGarage]

I appreciate your support!! Honestly you probably be fine leaving it out, but I believe they put it there because the oil filter doesn’t catch all of the debris. They want to minimize that debris wearing your cylinder head/valve train prematurely.

[@smokinwithskruggs]

Of course after asking I went the description to get part numbers and my answer was there. Didn't realize it was for the VVTi system. Honda has something simular on their 4 cylinders. Appreciate the info!

[@VikingsGarage]

No worries!!

[@dougcook1176]

These are strainers probably around 100 micron. There must be on oriface as part of the VVT system. Often in any mechanical system with a critical oriface a strainer is placed upstream to insure it doesn't plug. The engine oil filter is around 20 micron, way finer than the strainer. I imagine theae are worth checking but on a well maintained engine there shouldn't be much there.

[@VikingsGarage]

@dougcook1176 agreed. Although I’ve seen absolute messes. That’s always in poorly maintained vehicles

[@EverydayJ1786]

Just wondering shouldn't that be part of the regular maintenance in the owners manual for the 4runner. Also how much were both filters from toyota. I wish you would have shown us this on the runner, but you probably still have very low mileage on it. Looking forward to your next video.

[@VikingsGarage]

No worries, each filter was about $9. I will indeed do the same job on the 4Runner sooner then later. (Toyota should include it in the maintenance schedule but let’s face it, they are more interested in selling you another vehicle sooner than later)

i have a cost of about 11$ MSRP from Yota parts dealershop for the 2TR-FE... discounted down to under 7$ this holiday Sale

[@albetherechillin]

Man I've never heard of these is this specific to the 1gr fe or do other engines have their own version of this

[@efil4kizum]

same question here... how about the 4cyl 2TRFE 2700CC 16-VALVE DOHC EFI

[@VikingsGarage]

Surprisingly a lot of Toyota Engines have this little filter/mesh. Best way to figure out if yours does, is thru a parts catalog, look in the section for the breakdown of the cylinder head. It’s usually there.

@@VikingsGarage thank you!

[@efil4kizum]

? does the 4cyl 2TRFE 2700CC 16-VALVE DOHC EFI have This? 2o11 Tacoma

[@efil4kizum]

this is what i found on the cylinder head parts breakdown... 11101J - VALVE ASSY, CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL part# 15330-75010 ... 137$ at full MSRP

[@efil4kizum]

also found this... 15678A - FILTER, OIL CONTROL VALVE part# 15678-21010 ... 11$ msrp

[@VikingsGarage]

All you need is that filter, the valve should be good.

[@efil4kizum]

@@VikingsGarage I am anxious to see its condition after 13+ years and 96k miles.. PERHAPS this is the cold weather issue and WHY this engine ALWAYS rattles upon start-up during the winter months and goes away after things get warmed up... nobody seems to have any answers for this issue that I have unearthed as of yet!

[@VikingsGarage]

@efil4kizum Honestly this is most likely it.
