🔧 Installation Tips & FAQs
Q: How often should I change my oil filter?
Most Hilux owners should replace the oil filter every 10,000 km or every 6 months—whichever comes first. If you drive in harsh conditions (e.g., towing, off-roading), consider changing it more frequently.
Q: Can I install an oil filter myself?
Yes! Most Hilux filters are easy to access. All you need is an oil filter wrench, drain pan, and new engine oil. Always tighten the new filter by hand and check for leaks after installation.
Q: What happens if I use the wrong oil filter?
Using an incompatible filter can cause oil leaks, reduced engine protection, and potential damage. Always double-check compatibility before installation.
