  Q: What precautions should be taken when replacing the oil filter to minimize skin contact with used oil on Toyota Yaris?

  A: Use proper protection during oil filter installation to prevent skin exposure to damaged motor oil since it can lead to drying and irritation and possibly raise skin cancer risks. Protect your skin using gloves and protective clothing which will prevent oil absorption and wash contaminated areas with either soap water or waterless hand cleaner whereas solvents and thinner must be strictly avoided. Proper oil disposal sites exist for environmental protection of used engine oil along with filters. The oil pan drain plug removal should precede oil draining procedures while cleaning the plug before installing a new gasket which requires 38 N m (382 kgf cm, 28 ft. lbf) torque. The second stage involves the removal of the oil filter sub-assembly through Special Service Tool: 09228-06501. The oil filter installation requires preparation of the surface followed by graining clean engine oil on the new filter gasket and slow tightening until it touches the seat. The oil filter requires tightening using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 either through torque wrench at 13 N m (133 kgf cm, 9.5 ft. lbf) when space permits or through manual hand tightening with a common wrench for restricted areas. The procedure requires using fresh engine oil at the indicated oil capacity followed by leak inspection and examination of the oil level.
