• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2008 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: The first step in changing an oil filter on a 2UZ-FE engine requires protective measures to prevent contact with engine oil because exposure can lead to skin dryness together with irritation as well as possible hazardous consequences from oil contamination. Wash your skin clean with soap and water or use waterless hand cleaner after touching oil and remember to correctly dispose of used oil and filters at specified areas. The procedure starts with engine oil drainage through removal of the engine under cover seal No. 3 followed by the oil pan drain plug removal for draining the oil. Before installation of the new gasket apply torque of 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf) to the oil pan drain plug. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to remove the oil filter assembly after you have removed the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly and the engine under cover seal No. 3.
