2007 Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Filter Parts Q&A

• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: One must wear protective clothing combined with gloves to prevent exposure to mineral oil that can generate skin irritation as well as dermatitis before following proper instructions for used oil filter disposal at designated locations. Drain the engine oil by first removing the oil filler cap and then disassembling the 2 bolts beneath the No. 3 engine under cover before extracting the oil drain plug to transfer oil into a receptacle. Continue by separating the oil filter assembly by unscrewing both its bolts and service hole cover while employing Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to unscrew the filter component. The procedure starts with cleaning and inspecting the oil filter seat followed by the application of clean engine oil to the new oil filter gasket before it is loosely tightened by hand when contact with the seat occurs. Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 will be employed for oil filter tightening. However, if adequate space exists, utilize a torque wrench to reach 17.2 N m (178 kgf cm, 13 ft. lbf) or else achieve 3/4 turn hand-tightening with standard wrenches. First install the drain plug by tightening it to 39 N m (398 kgf cm, 29 ft. lbf). Afterwards, add new oil according to the standard oil capacity and reinstall the oil filler cap. The last steps include checking engine oil leaks while verifying the oil level before using the 2 bolts to install the engine under cover and fastening the service hole cover with its own 2 bolts.
