DIY - Tercel 91 - 94 Oil Change & Tune Up

[Rinconrolla]

This DIY is on a 1993 Toyota Tercel with a 1.5L FI SOHC 4cyl , 3E - E .







This is a basic oil change , You drain your oil pan , remove the oil filter , Because this vehicle has alot of miles I did a 10w 40 oil change and added STP . Its your car you can put either OEM or what is good for you .






Make sure you wipe the area before putting back your new oil filter and put a light coat of oil on the rubber part on the oil filter hand tighten then add oil .




This is the Tune up .












Before removing your distributor cap there is the intake hose to your air filter cause it will make it easier . Its your car so if you don't or do either way .






Now on this vehicle the plugs & cap are one piece . I'm sure they sell them separate but I bought them as one . When you put your rotor button back I added some anti seize .








Then once you replaced your cap & rotor you can remove the front of the cold intake hose so you can gave easy access to the spark plugs .








Make sure you put anti seize on the thread of all your plugs , gap your plugs . They say your plugs are pre gap but its your car on whether you trust them or not .






The plastic holder for the wires broke so I added a tie strap so that the wires don't fall on the heat shield of the exhaust , Plus I took off the plastic heat shield for the wire that is the farthest so that the heat doesn't soften of melt the wire .



Once you have your plugs back together then you can change your PCV valve .



And last you can replace your air filter .



Once you are finished you start your car and listen for misfires . If all sounds well then you have completed the most easiest tune up and oil change .
