What? No owner's manual? Or is it no longer covered in there these days?
Anywho...it's not like you really need them...but here's the links to the 2007 4Runner FSM oil filter removal and installation pages. Should be the same for your 2012 if it has the 1GR-FE or 2UZ-FE. 1GR-FE Oil filter removal. http://ncttora.com/fsm/4runner-2007/...er_removal.pdf 1GR-FE Oil filter installation. http://ncttora.com/fsm/4runner-2007/...stallation.pdf 2UZ-FE Oil filter removal & installation. http://ncttora.com/fsm/4runner-2007/...r/02000210.pdf Guide me through an oil change...seriously?

seriously
The reason I needed to "seriously be guided through an oil change" is because the gen 5's have a few new twists that are new to me. Like the double skid plate. The plastic one is up with plastic tabs. How are they removed and do you buy new 'buttons" every time? Also, it's a canaster oil filter, not a conventional filter. A torque spec would be nice to know there, as well as the drain plug. I always torque mine - seriously.
Any help would be appreciated. |

Your best bet would be to talk to the parts guy at the dealership. Buy oil and a filter from him and ask him if he can print off the specs/ directions for you from the factory service manual.

Both of my 2011s have 5 year maintenance plans.
What's an oil filter?

My dealer specifically states that oil changes must be done by them or a ASE Certified installer or their after factory warranty (not Toyota Warranty) but rather the dealer supplied Lifetime Powertrain Guarantee would be deemed void. They further state "ANY ALTERATIONS" have to be performed by them alone. I have always performed my own maintenance on everything I have owned, installed my own cold air intakes, etc. however I am not willing to risk the thought of losing the Lifetime Powertrain since I plan on keeping my rig till I die.
