Where is the oil filter of the Land Cruiser located?

Toyota Land Cruiser V6's oil filter is located: Underneath the car's engine. By carefully observing the area around the engine, you can spot the oil filter assembly. Additional Information: The function of the Toyota Land Cruiser's oil filter is described as follows: 1. Generally, various components inside the engine operate normally through the lubrication provided by the engine oil. However, metal shavings generated during component operation, dust that enters, carbon deposits oxidized under high temperatures, and some moisture continuously mix into the oil. Over time, the service life of the oil will be reduced, and in severe cases, it may affect the normal operation of the engine. 2. The role of the oil filter: Primarily to filter out the majority of impurities in the oil, ensuring the cleanliness of the oil and extending its normal service life.
I often maintain my own Land Cruiser. The oil filter is located in the engine bay, and its exact position varies slightly depending on the year and engine model. For example, in the common 4.6L V8 engine of the LC200, when viewed from the front of the car, the oil filter is hidden on the left side of the engine, near the firewall, partially blocked by the intake manifold and exhaust pipe. You'll need a special cup-type wrench to unscrew it. Last time I changed the oil, I measured it with a vernier caliper—it's about 76mm in diameter with 15 threads, so prepare a 150mm long-handle wrench for enough leverage. Remember to poke a small hole in the old filter with a needle to drain the oil before removing it, or hot oil will spill onto the exhaust pipe and create a lot of smoke. Also, check the sealing surface of the filter base for any dents—oil leaks here can be troublesome.
