• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2010 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The first step for replacing an oil filter on a 1NZ-FE engine is to drain engine oil through the oil pan drain plug while allowing all the oil to completely drain out. Reinstall the drain plug while using a new gasket around it then tighten it to 38 Nm (382 kgf-cm, 28 ft-lbf). To start the oil filter sub-assembly replacement process use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. Checking the surface quality followed by a clean application of oil on the new filter gasket forms the basic steps before filter installation. Carefully install the oil filter by using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 so that the gasket touches the seat followed by complete tightening. Use a torque wrench for space permitting situations to achieve 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 9.5 ft-lbf) but hand tightening or a common wrench method by 3/4 turn serves as an alternative. The next step requires engine filling with new oil until the oil capacity limit is reached followed by leak inspection and fuel level verification. Always follow safety steps by preventing oil contact with your skin and wearing protective attire made of cloth with gloves while directing used oil and filter materials to proper disposal centers.
