Ok time for a fresh d.i.y in exactly how to clean your PRADO diesel oil pickup.
If you have brass washers & blow by, you need to clean it up & get them out ASAP.
Raise vehicle safely.
Remove bash plates. 12mm, if genuine originals, or could be 13mm.
Drain oil 14mm sump plug.
They are 10mm.
Clean the pickup/strainer., 10mm also.
Ideally a new gasket & 8nm. I re-use them no worries at all.
Sump bolts evenly nicely 9nm.
No gasket on sump, I use grey Maxx you buy from ripco.
