How do you change the oil filter on a 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4Cyl.?

Purchase the correct size filter, drain plug gasket and five quarts of oil from your local auto parts store. Crawl underneath the truck and remove the oil drain plug, drain oil into suitable container(recycle). Once oil is drained, replace drain plug using new drain plug gasket. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!! Then look up and find oil filter, it should be on the righthand side from underneath. Use a filter wrench of the correct size, turn the filter housing counter clockwise and remove (there will still be several ounces of oil in the filter, so be careful). Remove new filter from box, wipe a thin film of new clean oil on the black rubber gasket and install by turning it clockwise until hand tight. Then apply the filter wrench and give it another quarter turn, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!!


Open oil filler cap on top of engine, that's the one that says Oil!


Using a funnel add 3.5 - 4 quarts. Check the level, if level is okay start engine and run for approximately 1-3 minutes. Turnoff engine and crawl back underneath and check for leaks, if no leaks, check level and top off with oil to the mark. If you find any leaks retighten the leaking item and run engine again 1-3 minutes, recheck for leaks.How do you change the oil filter on a 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4Cyl.?
