Happened to me servicing at home. Fortunately, I realized I’d thrown it out with the filter and bought a new one. No damage done when replaced. Filter still intact and firm. Very useful video.

Great work mate. Just some advice ...would be good if you had a lapel mic so the audio was better!! Cheers

Isn’t it crazy how the little inexpensive items do the most damage. Great video

And it's so much of an improvement for the environment for the manufacturers to regress from a good spin on steel filter.....with built in pierced steel centre... to a cheap and nasty plastic housing with a removable tube up the guts...and an engine rebuild.....

[@garydoeblin2980]

That's the toymota way

[@AquaMarine1000]

This style of oil filter is not new for Land Cruiser, the H engine of the late 70s early 80s had the centre oil passage bolt retainer to support the element - it never failed. What's wrong with design engineers of today? Land Cruisers had good diesel engines untill the 200 series. In this era new is not better, for example look at the 300 series.

[@kc-nl8zc]

Fantastic advice!

[@alandawson3345]

On any car when replacing the filter, open the box and compare the new filter to the old one. If there are extra parts on or in the filter, they are not part of the filter and should be refitted to the engine with the new unit. To perform this properly you will need at least 1 and preferably 2 Mk1 eyeballs.

[@joshuaculleton5230]

Great info mate. Cheers

Anyone that doesn't notice that it's missing when changing the filter, shouldn't be servicing the vehicle.

My 98 Corolla has a spin on filter. Engineered better in those days.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Brilliant video Mate Yes happened to me and I have been servicing all kinds of machines for many years I’m wondering if it’s possible to take a class action against Toyota,as there’s no information included with the new filter warning or otherwise about such a possible trap ,and indeed it’s likely to increase as vehicles getting older I am a qualified diesel fitter II love the wise acres commenting about lazy service personnel I expect those people never make a mistake

[@livingadamman7994]

Yeah give them some curry, that is not on. Bloody ridiculous to think such a great lot of engineering gets let down by poor design of one component and customer relations did nothing. I just bought the new Stihl 500 I chainsaw the first EFI chainsaw ever produced and low and behold documented all over the internet by numerous owners that there's a air box design flaw that lets fine dust through the cam locking knob intoi filter and throttle body. After 2nd tank of gas I opened it and the dust is there !They should darn well rectify the issue but probably won't. And when you bring to dealers attention he says his go to line "we've sold hundreds of these and not one has come back" that doesn't mean that that dust isn't doing cylinder damage or halving the life of engine. But it get's you off his back !

[@leighgranland8442]

[@cassk9999]

D4D Toyota engines are amongst the most reliable and durable engines in the passenger vehicle world I can only imagine problems from mistakes and lack of servicing because my 23 year old corrola only broke down once because of a bad starter motor

Similar to the Nissan ZD30 CRD with it's Oil Filter Spigot in the Base of the Oil Filter Housing that get thrown out with the Used Oil Filter When Changed.

Built in failure point. Well done, Toyota!

[@darrylmackie9184]

Nothing to do with Idiots doing the vehicle service.

No its not a failure point by the manufacturers its a failure by the incompetent service technicians.

[@thebeerhunter817]

Not to mention the factory fitted faulty air filter dusting engines. Really are a let down of an engine by Toyota.

[@alexmann3145]

So the engine is a let down because the filter/box is a shit design? Hmm makes perfect sense

[@dustyfarmer]

@@alexmann3145 The VDJ79R & 200 series air filter is let down by sexy fingers mechanics (Everything they touch, they fvck) who crush or fold over the rubber seal or don't seat & nest the airbox lid correctly. You can buy a simple glue in stainless steel thin plate that enlarges the sealing surface of the airbox seal & I rubber grease the seal & run a Donaldson cyclonic snorkel head. I didn't have any dust bypass issues before & certainly no issues now with the standard airbox on my VDJ79R but you need to know what your doing & have an understanding of how it needs to be & how to get it like it needs to be.

Great video. Poor audio.

[@peterguertler3357]

Hi great story, would you recommend replacing the plastic oil filter housing with a diecast housing or they much of a muchness.

[@brettpowter6010]

Mercedes been using plastic for 30 years never fail just typical Toyota saving 10 cents a car using substandard plastic nothing new

[@kordapyo612]

They're the same, once the spout is not returned to the filter cap it will end the same.

[@AquaMarine1000]

Is there an aftermarket redesign alternative?

[@Jotomoz]

European makes have this design. You get a low oil pressure code. Unsure and bad if Toyota doesn't give a warning of low oil pressure code. If you are unsure check the stout before installing yourself or after a mechanic does it. Can't go wrong if you check it yourself and save you a headache.

[@TheThebigkiwi]

The audio is too quiet to make the video worthwhile. Audios more important than video

[@benkingston5315]

Genius Toyota engineering, just like their air boxes, dpfs (hilux) etc, and all that for a 4.5L V8 diesel that makes lees hp then most modern 2Ls. Not to speak of the cutting edge technology, when you have 15 yr model cycles! People have rocks in their heads, ... I got a V8 mate! But hey, good on you for capitalizing on these muppets, probably own your house outright and a couple more every year. Oil filter change, yes sir, that'll be 25k! Nobody has stupid money like a 79/200 owners. Might change profession!

[@donhinds7470]

Fuel economy is the major problem.

[@maxtraction5388]

Does this engine have a filter bypass system for when the filter is blocked?

[@seanworkman431]

Obviously not, hence the warning, don't let this happen or engine failure will occur. You must have been that annoying kid at school who would keep asking the same question because you were not paying attention. If it had a bypass engine failure would not occur.

[@kordapyo612]

Apparently not. Once the filter is squeezed, there's no other passages for oil going to the pump.

[@donhinds7470]

Probably not they like you to do further damage replacement is their plan.

[@simonkingston6976]

It’s a wonder that someone hasn’t come up with a aluminium cnc replacement part for this issue or maybe can’t be done, so this can’t happen🤷

I run them out to over 400k no issues (70 series)

[@andyvan5692]

easy solution: in the center of the cap, find the flange that the tube bayonnettes to, then drill a hole to fit a screw into (hex/torqs), LOCTITE it in; then that thing is NOT coming off unless you want it to!

[@ryanworkman5229]

Lazy servicing, takes no time at all to notice it just isn't there when fitting a new filter.

[@catchawakeup6411]

If you cant change a oil filter properly, then you probably got your training from Woolworths….

[@kenlyneham4105]

I see this as a design fault of Toyota.

[@dnic715]

Do you see many failures due to over tuning for more power. Like more fuel, high boost and incorrect air fuel ratio in this motor or any others

[@donhinds7470]

Thought about buying anew cruiser turned by people s comment s on fault s mostly fuel consumption. But they also say they break down a lot come on Toyota. Ford ranger seems to be out in front they say .

[@user-fs3dg1po2z]

Honestly I'm surprised its only $2k for the new crank. Toyotas damn well should be reliable, for how expensive they are to fix when they do break.

[@jamessouth4776]

Hey mate does it happen in the 70 series as well? The 200 series have a plastic cover instead of metal on the 70s don’t they? I wondered if that made a difference? Thanks

[@ldnwholesale8552]

As a wealthy Landcruiser owner says about the V8 diesels,,,, you trade them in before the warranty runs out. And send themto the Toymota dealer to get them serviced. This a bloke who restores classic cars as well as building race cars/ race engines. I would like to step from my 100 to a 200. But the engines scares me as I have seen them broken and also ofcourse they are noisier [but torqier] than the V8 petrol. Dont tell me more economical as yes they use a bit less fuel but the cost of said nunga nunga lotion is far more expensive.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

The V8 in the 79 series has hardly any more torque or power than the 1HDFTE in the old 79 series. With the wider front track on the V8 79s what was Toyota thinking there? I service my 1HD myself, always have done, wouldn’t let a dealer near it. No problem with the oil filter either.

[@tommo2777]

do you rebuild vdjs v8s I'd be interested in seeing video on it

[@JaLawPT]

Hello there, have you ever heard of a 1vd-ftv that turns on, but refuses to accelerate? My mechanic is trying everything and nothing works... The engine simply won't accelerate

[@Renegade040]

Another Toyota design fault. I have had quite a few Toyota's and most have really bad design faults. Also you always keep hearing Toyotas are unbreakable, super reliable which most are, but when you get caught out it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. I went a completely different route and now have a Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 diesel and boy this has been far more reliable than any of the Toyota's I have ever owned. But boy did I get some crap from all my Toyota and Nissan friends, also the money I saved on the purchase price was fantastic.

[@FutureSystem738]

Well that’s a serious design fail!

[@wazza33racer]

people just park them in long grass and burn them. Happens all the time. when dealers quote out of warranty repairs like a leaking main seal for 9k, its easier to burn them.

Is it true that the 'VD' in 1VD-FTV stands for venereal disease?

If it's like my land rover, the pressure sensor is upstream of the filter, so there would be an increase in pressure. Glad I installed a gauge in place of the warning light. Good to know if it's both low or high.

[@ericjohnson6802]

Not bullet proof entirely but better than the V8 especially if you want to work on one eg to replace the starter or crap located V8 alternator. The FTE motor is best left STD as over boosting will result in failures...tho not uncommon in other engines also..like the TD42 Nissan.

[@ducksnutsphotography]
