  Q: How to replace the oil filter on Scion tC?

  A:

  The 2AZ-FE engine oil filter replacement starts with removing the right-hand engine under cover. You must drain engine oil through both the oil filler cap removal and oil drain plug extraction before placing the oil in a receptacle. Then clean and put back the drain plug using new gasket material before torquing it to 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf). The process of replacing the oil filter sub-assembly requires using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. After cleaning the installation area inspect the filter gasket and apply fresh engine oil to it before carefully screwing the filter onto the seat with hand force until the gasket reaches the seat. To produce the right torque use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 but only if enough space allows because you can also tighten the oil filter using a torque wrench to 17.2 Nm (175 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf) or you can simply use your hand to turn it 3/4 turn if space makes this amount of torque difficult to achieve. Clean engine oil should be added afterward and the oil filler cap needs reinstallation while maintaining the engine oil capacity. The engine should be warmed up before checking for leakage from the oil system to complete the right-hand side engine under cover installation.

  Q: What precautions should be taken when replacing the oil filter sub-assembly on Scion xB?

  A:

  Exchange of the oil filter sub-assembly requires you to protect yourself against engine oil exposure since regular contact can lead to skin reactions and dermatitis and the oil carries dangerous substances. Protect your hands and skin by wearing appropriate clothing and gloves and either wash the affected area with water and soap or utilize water-free hand cleaner if you encounter used oil. The usage of gasoline or thinners or solvents is prohibited for this purpose. The proper disposal sites exist for recycling used oil and oil filters. Begin the procedure by draining engine oil followed by using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to remove the oil filter. The surface for the new oil filter installation should be cleaned and you should apply fresh engine oil to its gasket. Position the new oil filter lightly then tighten it just enough for the gasket to touch its seat before using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to reach an additional 3/4 turn. The oil pan drain plug installation requires a new gasket and torqued to a torque value of 38 Nm (382 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs.). Engine oil must be added to reach a volume of 3.7 liters (3.9 US qts, 3.3 Imp. qts) when installing an oil filter but only 3.4 liters (3.6 US qts, 3.0 Imp. qts) without filter. The tank will require 4.1 liters (4.3 US qts, 3.6 Imp. qts) to achieve a dry fill condition. Do one more check for any engine oil leaks in the final step.
