• Q: How to replace the oil and oil filter on 2007 Toyota Tundra?

  A: Start the oil filter replacement by removing the No. 1 engine under cover. To prepare for oil replacement people should remove the oil filler cap combined with the oil drain plug which enables engine oil to drain into an appropriate waste container. User must wipe clean the oil pan and drain plug before installing a new gasket together with the drain plug which requires a torque of 40 N m (408 kgf cm, 30 ft. lbf). Use Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to extract the oil filter sub-assembly by first removing the drain pipe cap then establishing a disposal container to receive any remaining oil beneath the drain hose. Install the new oil filter on its surface by applying engine oil to the gasket then hand-tighten it until it touches the mounting seat. Tighten the oil filter using Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 until it reaches 18 N m (184 kgf cm, 13 ft. lbf) or if the installation space is constrained you can achieve similar tightness through any combination of 3/4 turn hand turn or common wrench operation. To add new oil begin by removing the oil filler cap followed by using either SAE 10W-30 unless unavailable in place of SAE 5W-30. Reinstall the oil filler cap afterward. After starting the engine inspect for any oil leakage within the serviced area. Check and adjust the engine oil level using the dipstick after warming the engine to 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit) for proper measurement. The last step requires proper reinstallation of the No. 1 engine under cover.
