I recently performed an oil change on the 1970 Toyoya Crown with the 1JZ Engine.

And I must say, it was not as easy as I expected.

Prepped some kitty litter for the old oil.

The filter was not easy to access from the top or bottom.

And worst, there was only about 1/8 of an inch clearance between the cross member and oil filter.

I was forced to modify my oil filter removal wrench.

Don’t let this gunk stay in your engine.

Be sure to change your oil frequently or come by the Moon Garage for you next oil change.
