Replying to: camry2k5 (Oct 30, 2009 12:53 pm) I don't look forward to changing my oil that's for sure. That new filter really disappoints me. I hope it is really a new/very improved filter and not something to make us bring the car in dealer to have it done. Oil change was one of the few things I could do in the past. I looked at these steps and went wtf? You provided great photos and steps but I still am wondering if they were thinking about the average car owner when they came up with this new design? It will be pricey enough using the synthetic oil. Add labor and whoopie! I know some of you have already gone to a mechanic for an oil change. What are they charging? I would be scared of Jiffy Lube (our closed) or other oil change store to attempt this. Firestone stripped my out a past Honda oil pan of mine years ago.

Replying to: pixshooter (Oct 30, 2009 9:08 pm) I haven't done the complete oil/filter change except the drain & refill 1k. After seeing the video and the pdf file, I think it is easy to do as long as you have the proper tools. In the video, he did the filter before draining the pan but usually I unscrew the drain plug to empty the pan and then the filter. I am not comfortable getting the o/c from those quick lube places especially JIFFY LUBE. The one near my place closed and an investigative news report on NBC forced Jiffy to close the branch. I was there once for a tranny service - gasket & fluid for a Previa and I noticed the oil guy finished in no time. I thought that was more complicated than an oil change. I was so doubtful of that and never came back to that place.

Replying to: pixshooter (Oct 30, 2009 9:08 pm) I'm guessing the new filter was designed by the same people who did the two piece battery powered mop. Replies to this message: pixshooter (Oct 31, 2009 3:57 pm) wayne21 (Oct 31, 2009 4:05 pm) pixshooter (Nov 25, 2009 11:44 pm)

Replying to: pixshooter (Oct 31, 2009 3:57 pm) It's the Swiffer Wetjet. A two piece battery-powered mop. And if you get the "large size" bottle it is too heavy for the bottom half of the mop and it separates the mop into two pieces while you're working.. It had to be the same designers!

Replying to: pixshooter (Oct 30, 2009 9:08 pm) I have done it, and it was easier than I thought. Just follow the directions on the filter box. Any questions, let me know. Replies to this message: colloquor (Nov 01, 2009 5:22 am)

Replying to: wwest (Oct 30, 2009 7:28 pm) "SEEMINGLY" We don't know what happened yet, except that the dealer put in mats on top of the regular mats - bad move on ANY car. Yes, it is a problem for those unfortunate people, and I truly feel bad. However, the DEALER is the problem here. There is no denying that the dealer screwed up. I spoke to a mechanic about this incident - he said the same thing I've been saying all along. He said "Dealer" not Toyota.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Oct 31, 2009 4:49 pm) No,...Yes, the dealer screwed up but the main fault lies with Toyota lacking the foresight to realize the short-coming of the new "ignition" system that could not be quickly switched off in an emergency.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Oct 31, 2009 4:49 pm) "..dealer put mats.." At this point in time from what I have read we have no evidence of the floor mat being the actual cause. Replies to this message: camry2k5 (Oct 31, 2009 7:02 pm) wwest (Oct 31, 2009 9:43 pm)
