What happens here
Begin by parking the Toyota FJ Cruiser on a 4-post lift (or similar vehicle lift) and raising it to a comfortable working height. This provides easy access to the underside of the vehicle. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes to warm the oil to approximately 120°F (49°C) to ensure it drains easily. During this time, discuss the FJ Cruiser's features, including its robust 1GR-FE 4.0 V6 engine and reliable drivetrain, and prepare the necessary tools and fluids for the upcoming service.
Goal: Raise the vehicle and warm the engine for fluid changes.
