Leave it to Toyota to complicate something as simple as changing the filter. Exactly what is wrong with a conventional one piece filter anyways?

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...

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.

2006 Toyota Avalon 15Kmi Service

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

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.

Hello guys.. a question for you.. This is my first Toyota.. having said that let me say that I bought the car new just 2 months ago.. when I hit 1500 miles I took it in to have the oil changed.. some say its not necessary, but I'm old school and every new engine I've had, I just change the oil at around 1500 to 2000 miles, then again at 5K. Anyway when I changed oil this past weekend I went ahead and used the "toyota" 5w-30 oil and toyota filter. I mentioned to the service writer that my next oil change I would be switching over to Mobil 1 synthetic. He advised me that I shouldn't go to synthetic in toyota until at least 10 to 15 thousand miles. LIke I said, never owned a japaneese engine before, but I know for a fact that Mobil 1 is a factory fill for porches, corvettes and other high performance power plants, so I find it hard to believe that it would damage seals or anything else for that matter on my avy's power plant. any thoughts? thanks
Roland
