2006 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil and oil filter on 2006 Toyota Tundra?

  A: People must take preventative steps against engine oil exposure due to its skin-irritating properties and harmful elements before engine oil and filter changes. Wear protective clothing and gloves while handling oil and immediately wash skin areas that touched oil through use of soap water or waterless hand cleaner. Divert all disposed oil and filters to proper collection areas. The engine oil draining process starts by removing under cover seal No.3 followed by the oil pan drain plug extraction. After cleaning and installing the drain plug with a new gasket torqued to 40 Nm. To remove the oil filter either use a container or first remove the drain pipe cap then utilize Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to extract the oil filter into a container while the drain pipe cap remains off before the clean up of the oil catch plate. Users must remove the drain pipe cap before connecting an 8 mm (0.31 inch) diameter drain hose measuring 900 mm (35.43 inches) in length to the oil filter bracket. They should pass the hose under the engine through the engine under cover to a container positioned below before extracting the oil filter with Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 and afterward reinstalling the drain pipe cap while cleaning the oil catch plate. Particle 09228-07501 enables an additional 3/4 turn of tightness on the new filter after lubricating its rubber gasket with engine oil. New engine oil should be added to the same capacity of 4.5 liters (4.8 US qts., 4.0 Imp. qts.) for draining refilling the oil with a new filter or 4.2 liters (4.4 US qts., 3.7 Imp. qts.) without a filter change and 5.6 liters (5.9 US qts., 4.9 Imp. qts.) when filling the engine dry before putting back the oil cap. Low humidity levels or cold temperatures can trigger leaks in the engine oil which require checking along with the measurement of engine oil level.
