Where is the oil filter located? What is the best brand replacment oil filter to use? How much oil is needed? Where can I find a 2008 maintenance manual other than the official Toyota manual that costs $140+? Replies to this message: nimrod99 (Aug 04, 2008 8:41 pm)

Replying to: gbswecker (Aug 04, 2008 2:30 pm) http://sumbiz03.home.comcast.net/~sumbiz03/Lubrication_Oil_and_FilterReplacement- .pdf. Best Brand, Factory Toyota filters, they only cost $4.00 each (online) Oil fill, consult your owners manual, at the back. Generally its 6.5 qts with a new filter (change) Oil filter is under the engine. You will need to get an oil filter cap wrench. I believe some dealers sell them for 12.95. its a black cap with a 3/8" drive hole. I am not sure of the size in mm. You also need a torque wrench.
