  Q: How to Properly Replace an Oil Filter on Toyota Venza?

  A: Beginning the oil filter replacement requires draining the engine oil through removal of the oil filler cap followed by the oil pan drain plug and gasket extraction until the oil collects in a container prior to cleaning and installing both parts using a new gasket with 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf) torque. A 15 mm (0.591 in.) hose should be connected to the pipe prior to extracting the oil filter drain plug and afterward installing the pipe on the oil filter cap. Keep the original O-ring intact when reinstalling the pipe. Place a collecting vessel under the pipe while checking oil drainage from the filter then disconnect the pipe and remove its O-ring. The Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 allows you to detach the oil filter cap while leaving the oil filter bracket clip intact before removing the filter element and O-ring item while avoiding damage to the cap O-ring with manual removal. The first step for installation includes cleaning the cap's interior along with threads and groove where the O-ring rests then applying engine oil to the new O-ring before placing it on the cap followed by positioning a new oil filter element. After applying a second layer of engine oil to the O-ring clean the engine installation surface. The technician should install the oil filter cap while ensuring the O-ring avoids getting trapped. Securely mount the cap with Special Service Tool 09228-06501 by tightening it to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). Add engine oil to both a new drain plug O-ring before installing it on the oil filter cap and put in the oil filter drain plug with torque set at 13 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) as you avoid letting the O-ring get trapped between components. Use standard oil along with the set capacity and proceed to install the oil filler cap. Begin engine operation followed by a leak inspection of serviced areas together with an evaluation of engine oil level.
