Where Oil Control Valve Filter On 2000 Avalon 1mz-fe

OK folks, many of you who have the ZZE12x Corollas with the 1zz-iron and 2zz-ge engines might find this useful to practice. Oil control valves (OCVs) are used in today'south varible valve timing (VVT) systems to regulate the oil pressure level throughout the engine to maintain correct oil pressure when the engine is running. I'm going to show yous how to service/clean the valves and filters. In the 2zz-ge engine may assistance with quieting the "tractor dissonance" (the 2zz-ge engines will always have the tractor racket) during idle and may assist with the "P1693" code that shoots out when lift isn't working etc. its also a skillful idea to exercise this with the engine common cold so that the metals of the engine block doesn't expand so you lot might cross thread the bolts/nuts etc.

please note that the OCV strainers/filters are Not interchangeable and perhaps different beyond the years that the 2zz were produced. always check with your toyota dealer for these parts confronting your VIN number to match them 100%

Things y'all need:

10mm ratchet socket with extension
abrupt nose pliers
electronic tweesers
14mm socket
solvent cleaner of choice (i just used my MAF sensor cleaner every bit its safer on plastics and the VVT OCV filter has plastic $.25 on it)
old toothbrush
old rags

Here are the two filters you demand to change/make clean. I only bought mine from toyota for xx bucks for both so i ended up just irresolute them.
The left 1 with the black plastic is the VVT OCV filter and the correct total metal is the VVTL OCV filter.

VVT OCV filter location (driver's side front of the 2zz and 1zz location is the same) the bigger matter with the plug connected to it is the valve. the bolt underneath is where the filter sits

Stuff some tissue under the bolt and use the 14mm socket wrench to loosen it and remove (small-scale fingers assist)

More frequently than not the filter will exist removed with the bolt. In my case, not so much because you can run across it sticking out abit. Never fright, this is when the tweesers come in handy. Have care in taking information technology out, y'all don't want it to fall somewhere in the engine bay (takes alot of swearing and cursing to find it once more)

Picture of muddy > clean > bolt. As y'all tin can see the dirty one has a few chunks blocking the oil flow through the strainer. my engines done approx 120,000 kms so its pretty clean for an engine that'southward done that much mileage.

At present clean the filter with solvent and the toothbrush or replace it and the commodities and washer and attach it to the commodities like this

...and put information technology back in the engine and tighten the bolt.

make sure that y'all adhere the strainer onto the bolt as shown above otherwise you WILL run the take chances of crushing the filter.

with the OCV loosen the bolt with the 10mm socket ratchet and remove from the engine bay. make clean and let dry out and put it back inside. However there is the oil pipe that's blocking the ocv from coming out. this is what you have to do to get to it:

- remove the accompaniment belt

- remove the peak bolt of alternator

- unplug all wires from the alternator

- loosen lesser bolt of alternator

- pivot the alternator forward

- remove bolt that holds the oil dip stick

- remove the ii nuts that concord the oil piping into the block (located simply above the vvt-i ocv

- oil pipage should come out with a scrap of leverage from a screw driver

- out comes the vvt-i ocv!

moving-picture show of it from a celica forum (i forgot to take a photo with mine)

VVT OCV and filter done!
