Parts for your 2017 Toyota Land cruiser-Oil pump

2017 Toyota LandCruiser Oil Pump — what it does and when to service or replace it

Based on Toyota factory service information for the J200 platform and the Electronic Parts Catalogue (covering both the 1VD‑FTV 4.5‑litre V8 twin‑turbo diesel used in Australia/NZ and the 3UR‑FE 5.7‑litre petrol used in other markets), the 2017 Toyota LandCruiser is fitted with an engine oil pump. It’s a crankshaft‑driven, internal‑gear (trochoid) style pump integrated into the front cover, and it’s absolutely relevant to the vehicle’s lubrication, cooling of critical components, and oil‑pressure control.

The oil pump’s job is to pull oil from the sump through the pick‑up strainer and push it under pressure through galleries to bearings, camshafts, timing components, piston oil squirters and—on the diesel—those hardworking turbochargers. It also feeds hydraulic systems like VVT‑i on petrol variants. Correct pressure keeps the big LandCruiser smooth, quiet and long‑lived, even with heavy towing, corrugations, and hot Aussie and Kiwi summers.

There’s no scheduled replacement interval for the pump in Toyota’s service literature
