  Q: How to replace the oil filter on Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: The procedure to replace the 1GR-FE engine oil filter starts with proper safety measures to protect yourself from harmful engine oil exposure because prolonged skin contact can lead to irritation while the oil contains toxic substances. You need to drain all engine oil by removing engine under cover seal No. 3 while you also remove the oil pan drain plug until the oil empties completely. Use a new gasket to carry out the installation while torquing the drain plug to 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf). To remove the oil filter you must first unscrew the drain pipe cap followed by the use of Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to complete the task with proper oil collection in a container. Reinstall the drain pipe cap while performing drain pipe cleaning on the oil catch plate. To drain the oil through a hose setup connect the pipe to the oil filter bracket utilizing a 900 mm (35.43 in.) hose and an 8 mm (0.31 in.) inside tube diameter and direct the hose through the engine under cover for oil collection. After draining the oil you should take away the drain hose and replace its cap. The first step of installation requires cleaning the surface of the oil filter bracket before applying clean engine oil to the rubber gasket of a new oil filter until it meets the bracket. Apply Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to grip the oil filter and rotate it by 3/4 turn with a torque of 18 Nm (184 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf). Place fresh oil into the engine tank before reattaching the oil filler cap and inspect both oil leakage and engine oil level. All used oil and filters require disposal at specific waste collection points.
