2005 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when replacing the Oil Filter on 2005 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: When you replace oil with filter handle mineral oil with caution because it produces skin irritation leading to dermatitis while recognizing that used engine oil contains dangerous substances. Protect your skin by wearing gloves and clothes made of oil-resistant materials followed by soap-and-water skin cleaning or usage of water-less hand cleaner when working with used oil while avoiding gasoline and thinner along with solvent products. Used motor oil alongside filters should be brought to proper disposal locations. Begin by taking off the engine under cover and drain engine oil through removal of the oil filler cap followed by the oil drain plug with its gasket before allowing the oil to flow into a suitable container. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to replace the oil filter by first removing the old filter and cleansing both surfaces before applying new oil onto the rubber gasket and securing it to the mounting seat with hand-tightening then completing the installation process when you reach 3/4 turns with the same tool. Reinstall the drain plug with correct installation of the new gasket before torqueing it to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.). Complete service by filling the oil tank to the recommended level and properly reinstalling the filler cap. Test the engine operation while verifying for liquid leakage after examining the engine oil level.
