• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2006 Scion xB?

  A: When changing the oil filter consumers need to wear protective equipment to shield their skin from mineral oil exposure that triggers irritation and dermatitis symptoms as used engine fluid contains unsafe chemical substances. The replacement process requires opening the oil filler cap followed by the oil drain plug to collect the oil in a suitable container. The first step to changing the oil filter requires using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to extract it. The installation area must be cleaned before putting the filter in place so apply clean engine oil to the gasket of the new filter. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to install the oil filter by first hand-tightening it until the gasket contacts the seat then continue tightening it using the tool. Space permitting allows the use of a torque wrench for filter tightening to 17.2 Nm (175 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.) but manual and common wrench adjustments are sufficient to achieve a 3/4 turn. Cleanup then installation of the oil drain plug should be done with a new gasket while tightening it to 37.5 Nm (382 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs.). Next add fresh engine oil according to standard capacity and put on the oil filler cap. The check for engine oil leaks should be performed when the procedure ends.
