• Q: How to Replace the Oil Filter on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: The first step to change an oil filter for the 2ZR-FE engine starts with emptying the engine oil by removing the drain plug on the oil pan until all fluid drains completely. For reinstallation of the drain plug replace the gasket and tighten it to 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf). You must use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to take off the oil filter cap which you should conduct while your oil drains into a container. The dropping oil will appear when the four turns of loose rotation between the cap and the oil pan achieves surface contact. Use your fingers to extract the O-ring from the oil filter cap while ensuring you maintain safety of the groove structure. Clean the inner side of oil filter cap as well as its threads and O-ring groove before putting small engine oil on a fresh O-ring which needs to be installed onto the cap. Install the new oil filter element in the cap before cleaning and applying oil to the O-ring for engine surface installation. Affix the Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 onto the cap which should be tightened to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf) while checking both safety and proper O-ring placement. The final step contains two tasks with new oil filling and verifying both capacity and inspecting for leaks and oil level.
