The first step in changing an oil filter on the 2AZ-FE engine demands proper precautions against skin irritation from exposed engine oil and its dangerous pollutants. Wear protective clothing together with gloves before you handle oil and conduct complete skin washing afterwards. The proper location exists for disposal of used oil and filter components. The oil replacement procedure starts with unfastening the oil filler cap followed by the removal of the oil drain plug to allow proper draining into a receptacle. Segment 09228-06501 of Special Service Tool is needed to uninstall the oil filter sub-assembly. Clean the area where you will install the oil filter and apply engine oil to the new oil filter gasket. Begin by hand-tightening the new oil filter onto its seat until the gasket touches the mount and then secure it with Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. Space permitting allows the use of a torque wrench to set the oil filter at 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10ft-lbf); otherwise use a common wrench to tighten it 3/4 turn. The procedure requires cleaning the drain plug before installing a new gasket followed by tightening it to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18ft-lbf). Then add new oil to the standard capacity and secure the oil filler cap on its place. Inspect for any oil leaks.
