• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2010 Scion xB?

  A: Owners should start oil filter replacement of the 2AZ-FE engine by taking off the No. 1 engine under cover. The engine oil replacement process includes draining oil through cap removal followed by drain plug removal into a container. Clean both components before new gasket application and proper torquing at 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). Remove the oil filter sub-assembly through the use of Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. Begin installation of the new oil filter after cleaning the mounting spot and applying fresh engine oil to its gasket and manually tightening it until the gasket seals onto the fitting. The oil filter needs tightening using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 while space permits for a torque wrench at 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) else use hand or common wrench for 3/4 turn. Clean engine oil should then be added and the replacement oil filler cap must be reinstalled to maintain the correct standard capacity. Conclude by examining for engine oil leaks then reinstall the No. 1 engine under cover.
