  Q: How to replace the oil filter sub-assembly while ensuring safety and proper disposal on Scion xA?

  A: The replacement of oil filter sub-assemblies requires coming in contact with engine oil for minimum time because extended exposure creates skin irritation and dermatitis while exposing the body to dangerous contaminants. Wear protective gear along with gloves and thoroughly clean your skin under water with soap or utilize waterless hand cleaning products when removing engine oil contents because gasoline and solvents remain forbidden. The proper locations exist for disposal of oil filters together with used engine oil. The process starts with draining engine oil followed by removing the sub-assembly of the oil filter by using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. Before installing a new oil filter you should apply clean engine oil around its gasket surface along with cleaning the installation area thoroughly. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to partially tighten the oil filter until its gasket touches the seat, then continue tightening it with the tool by another 3/4 turn. The service requires installation of the oil pan drain plug together with a new gasket and torque to 38 Nm (382 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs.). Filling the engine requires 3.7 liters (3.9 US qts., 3.3 Imp. qts.) after replacing the oil filter but only 3.4 liters (3.6 US qts., 3.0 Imp. qts.) when retaining the filter, and complete the procedure with 4.1 liters (4.3 US qts., 3.6 Imp. qts.) for bare fill-ups. Engine oil leaks should be inspected at the conclude of the process.
