• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: Start oil filter replacement of the 2AZ-FE engine by taking off the No. 1 engine under cover. First drain the engine oil by removing the oil filler cap along with the oil drain plug while allowing the oil to collect in a container. After cleaning both parts replace the drain plug with a new gasket and torque it to 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). Commence by removing the oil filter sub-assembly through the utilization of Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. Install the new oil filter after preparing its gasket seat and applying clean engine oil before manually threading it down until the gasket touches the seat. The oil filter requires torque application through Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 but you can also use a torque wrench for 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) if enough space permits. Limited space requires a manual hand tightening of 3/4 turn or the use of a common wrench. Position the clean engine oil inside the standard capacity space before replacing the oil filler cap. End this procedure by examining for engine oil leaks before reinstalling the No. 1 engine under cover.
