Draining and changing the oil filter on Auris 2.0 D-4D

open the hood

unscrew the filler cap

and take out the oil dipstick

This will create an air intake, which will facilitate emptying.

unlock drain plug, 14mm key

Place a pan under the oil pan and finish unscrewing by hand

Be careful not to burn yourself.

don't hesitate to wear gloves

don't hesitate to drop the oil pan plug into the pan, you can retrieve it later with a magnet

let the oil drain for at least 15 minutes

unlock the bell cap using a 10 square

place the basin under the bell and finish unscrewing the cap by hand

Don't hesitate to drop the cork into the basin; we'll retrieve it later.

let the filter drain

There is a plastic tip supplied with the new filter that screws onto the bell. I didn't use it but I should have: it allows the oil to be drained from the bell.

Place the specific tool on the oil filter bell

Toyota bells break very often, so I highly recommend using the right tool.

Using a 27mm socket and a ratchet wrench, unlock the bell

finish unscrewing by hand and remove the bell with the filter

Oil will leak: empty as much as possible into the basin.

I cleaned the bell using brake cleaner.

take out the filter

remove the bottom o-ring

and the top one

oil the bottom o-ring

New O-rings are supplied with the new filter.

install it

tighten the cap using the 10 square

install the o-ring on the bell

compare the used filter with the new one to make sure you have the right model

install the filter in the bell

oil the o-ring

screw the bell by hand

finish tightening with torque wrench, extension, 27mm socket and specific tool

Torque of 40N.m.

clean the crankcase with a cloth

change the drain plug gasket

This is a felt seal that will need to be changed systematically (Toyota reference 90430-12028). We can see here that the previous garage installed a seal that was much too large and not compatible.

screw by hand and finish tightening with a torque wrench and 14mm socket, torque of 38N.m

pour 5l of 5w30 oil

check the level

The gauge has 2 marks: the bottom arrow indicates the minimum, the top arrow the maximum. We try to be just below the maximum.

If you have used jack stands or jack stands, you must absolutely put the car back on the ground. The level is done on flat ground.

replace the cap and dipstick

start the vehicle

check for leaks

We will check the oil level one last time after a few kilometers: the level will have dropped since the filter will have filled up.

Press the button to the right of the meter and turn on the ignition. Keep it pressed until the end of the countdown.

The used oil and the filter will be taken to a recycling center or any other facility that can recycle it. This step is an integral part of the oil change.
