• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2009 Toyota Matrix?

  A: Appropriate protection should be established when changing the oil filter on the 2AZ-FE engine because engine oil contact to skin can result in dryness and irritating effects and exposure to toxic substances. Protective clothing together with gloves should be worn when handling oil while washing your hands properly when the procedure ends. The proper location for discarding used engine oil and filters exists at designated facilities. Start by draining engine oil through this process: eliminate the oil filler cap followed by extracting the oil drain plug to allow the oil goes into a temporary storage container. Reinstall the oil drain plug after cleaning it with a new gasket which needs to be torqued to 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Convert to Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to take out the oil filter sub-assembly. First clean the surface where the oil filter will go before applying engine oil to the gasket and holding the filter against the engine until it no longer turns. Feasibly use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 for securing the oil filter. Alternatively, apply 3/4 of a wrench turn if there is limited installation space. To finish the procedure you need to fill the engine with new engine oil and then return the oil filler cap before checking for any oil leakage.
