THE ENGINE CAUGHT OF FIRE JUST BRIEFLY, NO APPRENT DAMAGE BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE DIP STICK THE DIP STICK SMELT BURNT, AND HAD CRUD / TRASH, ON IT. I CHECK THE REFILL AND INSIDE I SAW CAKED UP OILY LOOKEN MUD. NO INDICATION LIGHT EVER CAME ON TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE LEVELS WERE LOW AND THAT THE ENG. LIGHT WAS NOT ON. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ACTION? Sounds like the engine was run way too long with out an oil change.

A 1996 Land Cruiser take eight to nine quarts of oil. Use the oil dip stick in the engine to ensure the oil is not being overfilled and the proper amount of oil is used.
you refill right through the dip stick
spray wall with non stick cooking oil so mud will not stick to wall
it is like a large screw - it has threads - turn it to the left til it comes out - when you put it back in - it will click when it's tight enough
I want to refill my gear oil
Locate ur oil level stick follow it under the undercarriage and u will see a small Allen wrench nut remove it and ur oil will drain. Refill with a finely trough ur oil level stick hole. Only. Two quartsax
