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

  A: The first step to replace the oil filter on a 1NZ-FE engine requires draining the engine oil through removal of the oil pan drain plug and complete oil flow before proceeding. The drain plug requires cleaning before reinstallation where you should use a new gasket then tighten it to 38 Nm (382 kgf-cm, 28 ft-lbf). Start by taking out the oil filter sub-assembly through the use of Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. The installation surface must be clean before applying engine oil to the gasket of the new filter. Complete the gasket contact by screwing the oil filter gently into position before tightening it with Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. Apply a torque wrench to tighten filters to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 9.5 ft-lbf); otherwise most of the tightening should be done through hand applications. The filtration process concludes with new oil addition until the engine reaches the proper oil quantity level. Inspection should also check for oil leaks and you should verify engine oil level.
