• Q: How to Properly Replace an Oil Filter on 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Draining the engine oil requires beginning with the removal of the oil filler cap followed by unscrewing both shop bolts with No. 2 engine under cover seals together with the oil pan drain plug gasket before draining the oil into a container until a new drain plug with gasket gets installed and torqued to 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf). The procedure starts by removing both front fender splash shield sub-assemblies LH and RH followed by taking off the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly. To remove the oil filter element, connect a 0.591 inches inside diameter hose to a pipe and remove the oil filter drain plug before placing the pipe onto the oil filter cap while collecting oil in a container. The filter pipe installation can be completed once oil drainage verification occurs. Remove the pipe and O-ring next. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to access and remove the oil filter cap without touching the oil filter bracket clip on the LH and RH sides as well as the bottom of the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly. Detach both the oil filter element and O-ring while protecting the cap O-ring from damage by hand manipulation. The installation process starts by cleaning the oil filter cap while applying engine oil to a new O-ring before position of the cap followed by setting the new oil filter element. First clean the installation area of the engine before putting more engine oil onto the O-ring and fitting the oil filter cap except for the bracket clip. Secure the filter with Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 by tightening the cap to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf) while ensuring the O-ring remains unstressed. Start by installing a new drain plug O-ring followed by the oil filter drain plug which requires a torque setting at 13 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf), then seal the No. 2 engine under cover using the provided 2 bolts and torquing them to 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf). Finish the procedure by adding fresh oil followed by the oil filler cap then beginning the engine to check for leaks and inspecting the oil level and reinstalling the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly and both front fender splash shield sub-assemblies LH and RH.
