Im looking at replacing oil filter & putting in semi synthetic oils myself...looking at the TSB (link below - page 4/5) it looks pretty complicated... Im used to - loosen drain plug, let drain, wrench off filter, oil rim of new one, tighten new filter, replace drain plug, fill with oil & run the engine.

The TSB for this one looks pretty complicated...has anyone done it and can they confirm if its easy or not? It looks like Ill have to put the car on stands to get under there.

Still got ages left on factory warranty so may leave for them to do.

Had anyone had a go at changing their own engine oil yet?

I just did my Yaris one and its was pretty straight forward, just wondering if the Aurion would be similar...

holy *****. that looks way too complicated for an oil change

I'm yet to change my own oil on mine, but I got underneath it earlier to have a feel around and reckon it's a piece of cake to change the oil and filter for this car. The service manual just makes it look more difficult than it is. Provided you have a suitable oil filter wrench (cap type prefered) you will have no issues. Much better than a car with a oil filter that is accessible only through the engine bay.

^ Watever rolla boi if you dont have anything constructive to say then you better just keep your 'crap' comment to yourself...

There is no harm to make sure everything is all sweet and have the necessary tools before diving head in and probably end up doing the wrong thing...

A rolla is exactly like a Yaris with their simple oil change, to me its different from the Aurion even though to you make be relatively simple...

Just saying... it seems like you have to be a scientist to just change oil...so dont flame me for saying how i would do it...if you guys got that offended take it to toyota and question them about,or better yet keep getting it done at toyota, just looks to complicated for an oil change

I must say I agree with SQU-47N. If you have changed oil and filter before, the Aurion will be no problems. The service manual makes it seem more difficult than it is. There is only an extra step or two involved, and this is purely to make the filter change less messy. Though I wouldn't see it as this, one could say that the only disadvantage is that you will get your hands more dirty than normal.

Well if i have previously mentioned, I did the Yaris oil change as well... and looking to do the Aurion, yes since I cant seem to get the right advise or pointers for this one so I'm gonna have to just as one of the toyota dealers while getting a filter from them...

Tools wise, if they are readily available if not they arent too expensive to get...

I guess i will have a crack at it next weekend...

Easy.

The hardest part of the filter change is getting a hold of that specialist tool (09228-06501). The step of draining the filter assy before cracking it looks more like it's a process to avoid making a mess as it a reusable housing and all. Just have a container nearby for when you open her up. I wouldn't be too sexed up lads, I reckon the first time you will be very tentative and it will take you half an hour to do this but after a few goes at it, you will halve your time. Don't be too worried about checking the oil pump output as outlined in the very first step. I am assuming that you are doing these filter/oil changes in between your proper toyota service(so as too keep your warranty and all), so the interval for that is still being carried out as per the book, you are just being a bit more conchie with the interval of the oil changes. Have fun with it hey!!!

I had a look online and was thinking probably is the same model and size for the Avalon?

Because the pdf oil filter change i attached is based on the same engine model number from a US website...

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
