• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2008 Scion xB?

  A: The oil filter replacement for the 2AZ-FE begins with engine under cover removal at position number one. The replacement process starts with draining engine oil by removing both the oil filler cap and drain plug. The oil will transfer to a container following which the drain plug receives cleaning and new gasket installation before torque reaches 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). To continue with the process you need Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 for removing the oil filter sub-assembly. Start by preparing the oil filter installation surface and applying clean engine oil to the gasket of a new filter before hand-tightening it until the gasket seals the seat. Tighten the oil filter with Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 while also using a torque wrench to achieve 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) or lunge the filter 3/4 turn with hand tools as a substitute. Clean engine oil then should be poured before placing the oil filler cap back in place with standard capacity maintained. After leak inspection check that the No. 1 engine under cover is properly installed.
