Replying to: russmc (May 03, 2006 4:55 pm) at that low mileage, all I would have changed is the oil/filter, and tranny fluid and filter. Yes. No timing belt till around 100K. Water pump and V belts at that time as well.   abfisch
#191 of 290 int. air filter replacement by kersten May 23, 2006 (4:59 pm)
Hello,   Hello!,      I just bought a 2000 XLS and I do love it!Always taken care of at dealer and original owner with 90,000.... I am not a mechanic but I can change the oil and air filter. I am having trouble replacing the interior air filter. I took out the glove box and then I am stuck. The dealer said the cut out area should be right in front of the filter...Mine seems to be off to the left an inch or two...there is not much space to pull it out or up??..Can anyone tell me how to get out the filter to replace it with a new one?? No it has not been wrecked....THanks,JB Replies to this message: kersten (May 27, 2006 6:01 am) lwilliard (Oct 14, 2006 2:38 pm)

#193 of 290 Insructions - '06 Avalon Oil/Filter Change - pdf file ? by mikemurrell Jun 13, 2006 (9:23 am)
I've read that the instructions to change oil/filter cartridge on an '06 Avalon come with the dealer-supplied filter. That said, I came across a post on the Tundrasolutions forum indicating someone had pulled a pdf how-to on this subject at an Edmunds site.   Would anyone know if such a pdf is available here and how to find it?   Thanks for your time.   Mike Murrell Replies to this message: mem4 (Jun 13, 2006 11:15 am) badgerfan (Jun 13, 2006 12:42 pm) fin (Jun 13, 2006 6:07 pm) mikemurrell (Jun 13, 2006 1:54 pm)

Replying to: mem4 (Jun 13, 2006 11:15 am) Leave it to Toyota to complicate something as simple as changing the filter. Exactly what is wrong with a conventional one piece filter anyways? Replies to this message: fin (Jun 13, 2006 6:07 pm)

Replying to: badgerfan (Jun 13, 2006 12:42 pm) The word is recycle badgerfan. Much easier to get used oil from a paper cartridge than a paper cartridge wrapped in a metal can. Several people in this forum have suggested that this will become the newest "old tech" feature on many new makes...

Outside of a dealer does anyone have experience with a good place to get a 2006 Oil Change (ie: National chains etc.)Thanks!
#199 of 290 Re: Oil Filter Changing - How Do You Stop The Oil From Leaking On The Engine? [highlander7] by abfisch Aug 31, 2006 (9:53 am)
Replying to: highlander7 (Mar 15, 2003 6:23 pm) After draining the oil pan, let it sit for 1/2. Go back to the filter, pack rags around it, and dislodge it and then screw it off slowly. As it comes off the threaded neck, tilt the gasket end up slightly. You should have min. drainage.   Yes, you are right. It is a bad design. The angle and underneath the manifold. Very non logical.   abfisch
