Replying to: manav82 (Feb 19, 2008 11:44 am) i have an 06 Lexus IS250 and when set on floor only, the front cents seem hotter rthan the floor (i never measured). the fact that any heat gets expelled from the top when the floor vent selected annoys me. i wonder if its just the way the system is designed.

Looking for the instructions to change oil filter and where can i find the wrench to remove the housing to get to the cartridge. Replies to this message: marstil (Mar 23, 2008 6:14 am) marstil (Mar 23, 2008 6:18 am) bussby5504 (Jun 12, 2008 8:56 pm) fin (Jun 13, 2008 5:18 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: randy100 (Mar 22, 2008 5:04 pm) Read and print the enclosed link, it's a picture assisted set of directions for changing the Avalon oil filter. You'll need two tools; a standard 3/8" ratchet and short extension for the removal of the filter drain and a filter socket to remove the housing. You'll also want a short piece of garden hose to direct the filter drain oil. You can work without it by strategically placing the oil drain pan but the short length of hose makes it easier. The filter socket is a 65/67mm size. Don't buy the metal one; I did and it doesn't work well. Go to Wal-Mart and buy the plastic one; it works much better.   http://members.cox.net/n0v8or/avalon_oil_change.pdf

Replying to: randy100 (Mar 22, 2008 5:04 pm) Oh...one more thing. My local parts store sells the Avy oil filter for 12 bucks. My local Toyota dealer sells it for 6 bucks. Weird, eh...the dealer being cheaper than the aftermarket? So, check your dealer before paying too much at a parts store.

#301 of 314 inaccurate odometers by rpfingsten Apr 08, 2008 (1:09 am)
Hi people.... just curious about the post I read earlier stating that the avy odometers were off by .03% Has that actually been confirmed? I ask because the other day on the interstate, I tried to reset my odometer and check it with the mile markers. However I was trying to zero the odometer at "exactly" the same time I passed the marker, which is kinda hard to do at 70 mph. Even so, it looked like my odometer was right on the money. Just curious if this problem was confirmed and if so, what year of the avys has it appeared? Thanks for your help.   Roland Replies to this message: fin (Apr 08, 2008 5:38 am) captain2 (Apr 09, 2008 11:25 am)

Replying to: rpfingsten (Apr 08, 2008 1:09 am) Several members, including myself, have observed this error in our Avalons. Is it all of them?... don't know. I have checked mine all over the southeast on different interstates. Always off by about 3%. Speed is correct, just the mileage travelled is off.   All you need to do is watch the mile marker as you pass, observe the mileage shown on the dash and say it out loud. Watch when you pass the next marker, and again, say the mileage shown out loud. If your car has the error, within 5 miles you will hear the difference. Use the trip mileage with tenths. Have fun, post your results...   Let me add for anyone interested that at 21k miles my '07 Limited w/Nav is still near perfect. Nothing but oil changes and tire rotations so far......

Replying to: rpfingsten (Apr 08, 2008 1:09 am) same experiencce as fin - if you are attermpting to check the odometer over a short distance, it will be tough to see 3% - try a nice long 100 mile trip and I think you'll see 97 miles indicated on the odometer is actually 100 miles travelled. What I don't understand is how this is possible because the speedometer is right on the button. Back in the old days speedos were notoriously optimistic but then again so was the odometer.
#304 of 314 Irritants by rpfingsten Apr 17, 2008 (3:10 am)
Well I've had my 07 Avy now for more than a year and a half.. gas mileage is nice, averaging alittle better than 26 combination city / highway. Overall reallly like the car, but I've got two things that are really becoming big irritants for me. First of all, I will never never never ever buy another yota with a sunroof... when I first got it I noticed during the cold months that the sunroof would rattle if the temp got down below 40.. well since I live in Louisiana and temps are "usually" above 40, no big deal, especially since the rattle stops when the heater warms up the cars interior... but now the rattle starts when the temp falls below 50..... Last time I had the car in for service, I mentioned the rattle to the service dept and they said, huh, thats not usually an issue with the avalon... he obviously dosnt read this forum... and then last night, my windshiels washer "low" indicator lights up. I grab a bottle of windshield washer and start pouring it into the reservoir only to realize that it's running striaght thru onto the garage floor...what an odd thing to go wrong... a hole in the reservoir.. I realize these are non mechanical things, but what happened to that world wide reputation for toyota reliability... especially in relationship to the sunroof rattle...   Roland
