  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.
