dude, the 1jz oil filter location is worse then the 7m's!

A good friend taught it to me. It's definately a lot nicer than holding the filter while oil runs down your arm and into your shirt knowing you can't wipe it away yet.

I think i will go nuts it Something goes a miss and i can't make it this year. I have missed so many due to a non running car. I plan to make it this year for sure. (Provided nothing screws up )

Thanks for the vote of confidence...LOL
Please post pics. If there is a better way for the PS lines then i wish to see it. THe Wiring on the other hand is in the stock location except for the wire to the starter wich i have not put back into place yet
thats why you put the oil filter from underneath the car...i did my oil change on my 1jz on 35 degree weather while its raining in the middle of the night in 15-20 minutes...CryoSlash said:
i did my 7m's on a cold day in the rain in 10 minutes, and the 7m's location sucks. you cant possibly say the 1jz is where its supposed to be.
Did you get a 1jz from a Chaser? Those have a different oil filter housing that points it right at the shock tower.
it shouldn't have been pointign towards the shock tower.OneJoeZee said:
i guess i might have one from a chaser but it came in a supra front clip?
I have to say mine was pretty difficult to get to also. The hardest part though is holding it upright trying to maneuver it out without spilling any oil.
I now have on the Greddy relocator mounted to the top of the shock tower about waist high for me. Just slip a plastic bag under the filter and change it out in less than a minute. Takes longer for the oil to drain. Putting on the filter kit is a major PITA though.

toyota didnt design it around LHD maybe thats why 1JZ's never made it to the US J/K.
actualy I went through the front of the engine under the PS pump i have long arms, but it almost takes a giant to do that like when the worlds tallest man saved that dolphine maybe you could hire him to grab it:dunno:
