#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

#201 of 290 2006 Toyota Avalon 15Kmi Service by beeman4u Nov 07, 2006 (6:52 am)
Hello everyone. I have 2006 Avalon and I'm approaching the 15K mile mark. Has anyone gotten the 15K mile service from the dealer? Is/Was that necessary. I read the manual and many of the things says "check" rather than "replace" The dealer tells me the book is wrong and they replace many items. He tells me if I don't get this service done, I could void my Warranty. In the past, I've always gotten 30K and 60K service on all my previous cars and they've run well. Honda and Nissan. Any suggestions Replies to this message: steve326a (Nov 12, 2006 9:49 am)
#202 of 290 Re: maintenance links [sanandton] by Nov 07, 2006 (3:30 pm)
Replying to: sanandton (Nov 07, 2004 5:54 pm) We also own a 2000 Avalon...about 80,000 miles. The dealer said that they typically do not replace spark plugs untill around 100,000 miles. They did say that the plugs are hard to get at....which means that "they" should do them. Sorry about the "on-line" service link....I am searching for same.
