• Q: How to Replace the Oil Filter on 2008 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The procedure to replace an oil filter on a 2UZ-FE engine begins with removing the No. 1 engine under cover through the removal of three screws and five bolts followed by unhooking it from the vehicle body. A container should receive the engine oil through the oil drain plug's removal with its gasket while the oil filler cap gets removed before oil draining completes. Install a new gasket followed by the oil pan drain plug and torque it to 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf). Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 allows you to uninstall the oil filter assembly. Install the new oil filter on the gasket-seated surface after applying engine oil to its edges then hand-tighten it until the oil filter makes contact. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to tighten the oil filter while also applying torque to 17 Nm (173 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf) if adequate space permits or use a common wrench to give it 3/4 turns if space is limited. Place the drain plug followed by the new gasket then torque the plug to meet 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Add new oil at the standard engine capacity before putting on the oil filler cap. After starting the engine check for oil leakage in the work area. Finish the job by hooking the No. 1 engine under cover onto the vehicle body before securing it using 3 screws and 5 bolts while torquing bolts to 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf) and torquing screws to 3.0 Nm (31 kgf-cm, 27 in-lbf).
