• Q: How to Replace the Oil Filter on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The process for oil filter replacement in 2UZ-FE engines begins with disassembling the No. 1 engine under cover through three screws and five bolt removal. The under cover should then be detached from the vehicle body. Begin the oil filter change process by opening the oil filler cap and unscrewing both the oil drain plug and its gasket while collecting drained oil in a receiver. Drive out the engine oil from the pan by replacing both the gasket and drain plug then torque the components to 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf). Uninstall the oil filter assembly with Special Service Tool: 09228-07501. Before installing a new oil filter apply clean engine oil to its gasket and gently screw it onto its seat by hand until the gasket makes contact. Tighten the oil filter using Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 or manually torque it to 17 Nm (173 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf) when enough space allows. The drainage procedure ends with torquing the drain plug to 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Next, add new oil to the standard capacity before installing the oil filler cap. After starting the engine you should check for oil leaks within the work area. Secure the No. 1 engine under cover by hooking it to the vehicle body and fasten it with 3 screws and 5 bolts which must be torqued to 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf) for bolts and 3.0 Nm (31 kgf-cm, 27 in-lbf) for screws.
