2005 Toyota Prius Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil filter sub-assembly on 2005 Toyota Prius?

  A: First ensure proper protection from skin irritation and harmful substances present in engine oil before starting the oil filter sub-assembly replacement process (1NZ-FXE). You need protective clothing and gloves while working with the equipment as well as skin washing immediately after completion of work. People should properly discard their car filters as well as their used oil at areas specially dedicated for these waste products. Begin the procedure by draining engine oil through two steps: unfasten the oil filler cap followed by removing the oil drain plug while the oil collects in a container. After cleaning the drain plug replace it with its new gasket before torquing to 38 Nm (387 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs.). You should now employ Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to extract the oil filter. Begin by cleaning and inspecting the oil filter installation surface then apply new engine oil to the gasket of the filter and install it slowly to reach the seat before reaching the final torque of 17.5 Nm (178 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.) with the same tool. Service experts should pour fresh engine oil to reach levels of 3.7 liters when performing a complete drain-and-fill procedure with new oil filter installation or 3.4 liters without filter replacement or 4.1 liters to perform a dry fill operation before installing the oil filler cap. Finally, inspect the engine oil.
