Toyota 4Runner Oil Pans, Drain Plugs & Dipsticks

Reliable lubrication of an internal combustion engine is a vital necessity that has to be provided as long as the engine is running. In your Toyota 4Runner engine, this function is performed by a wet-sump oil system as one of the simplest and reliable designs. In this scheme, the oil pan forms the lower segment of the engine as one of its integral parts. The system is designed this way so that the oil could be collected in the pan when the engine is off. That is why both the oil inspection and oil discharge tools are located over there. The former is a dipstick – a very plain and thus reliable tool for the oil level check; the latter is a drain plug – a hole that allows to get rid of the old oil during the maintenance.

These components are very simple and therefore highly reliable parts that rarely fail. However, they are prone to deterioration which ultimately resulting in the oil leak. Such an issue is particularly spread among the older generations of the 4Runners powered by diesel engines. If one of these trucks occupies your garage, don’t worry, as you can easily address the oil issue with the help of our high-quality Toyota 4Runner oil Pans, drain plugs & dipsticks.
