2004 Toyota Corolla Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil filter sub-assembly on 2004 Toyota Corolla?

  A: You must begin the oil filter sub-assembly replacement by taking off engine under cover parts and draining the engine oil through oil pan drain plug removal from the right-hand side. The first step in this process requires Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to pull off the oil filter sub-assembly. You need to clean and prepare the installation spot for the new oil filter while applying engine oil on the new filter gasket. Using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to hand-tighten the oil filter will achieve a proper gasket contact with the seat followed by another 3/4 turn of tightening. Screw the newly installed oil pan drain plug into its hole while using a new gasket then torque it to 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 inch lbs.). Engine oil requires three different quantities during service operations: drain and refill with filter change requires 3.7 liters yet drain and refill without filter requires 3.5 liters and dry fill needs 4.2 liters. Check for oil leakage at the end of the process. Exercise safety with used oil to avoid skin reactions because it includes dangerous pollutants; protection gear and gloves must be worn while proper sites should be used to discard filters and oil.
