Preparation

1. Park vehicle on level surface and engage parking brake
2. Allow engine to cool to safe working temperature (minimum 30 minutes)
3. Gather all tools, parts, and fluids before beginning
4. Loosen wheel lug nuts slightly while vehicle is on ground
5. Lift front of vehicle with floor jack and secure on jack stands at designated lift points
6. Remove front wheels for better access to undercarriage components

Procedure

1. 1

   Drain engine oil
   Locate oil drain plug on bottom of oil pan. Position drain pan underneath. Remove drain plug using 14mm socket and allow oil to drain completely (approximately 10 minutes). Inspect drain plug threads and sealing surface for damage. Remove old crush washer from drain plug and replace with new one.
   ⚠Hot oil can cause burns. Wear protective gloves and ensure oil has cooled sufficiently
2. 2

   Remove and replace oil filter
   Locate oil filter on front-left side of engine block. Position drain pan underneath filter. Use oil filter wrench to loosen and remove oil filter by turning counterclockwise. Clean filter mounting surface on engine block. Apply thin film of clean engine oil to rubber gasket on new filter. Hand-tighten new filter until gasket contacts mounting surface, then tighten an additional 3/4 turn.
3. 3

   Reinstall drain plug
   Once oil has completely drained, clean drain plug and oil pan sealing surface. Install drain plug with new crush washer and torque to specification using torque wrench.
4. 4

   Replace engine air filter
   Open hood and locate air filter box on driver's side of engine bay. Release air box clips (typically 4 clips). Lift air box cover and remove old air filter element. Inspect air box housing for debris and clean if necessary. Install new air filter element ensuring proper orientation and seating. Close air box cover and secure all clips.
5. 5

   Replace cabin air filter
   Open glove box and remove contents. Squeeze sides of glove box inward to release stops and lower glove box fully. Remove cabin air filter cover (located behind glove box). Slide out old cabin air filter noting airflow direction arrow. Install new cabin air filter with airflow arrow pointing in same direction (toward vehicle rear). Reinstall cover and return glove box to normal position.
6. 6

   Fill engine with oil
   Locate oil filler cap on top of engine (marked with oil can symbol). Remove cap and insert funnel. Pour in 4.5 quarts of Toyota Genuine 0W-20 oil initially. Wait 2 minutes for oil to settle, then check dipstick level. Add remaining oil in small increments until level reaches full mark on dipstick. Do not overfill. Reinstall oil filler cap securely.
7. 7

   Inspect brake system
   With wheels removed, visually inspect brake pads through caliper opening for remaining thickness (minimum 3mm required). Inspect brake rotors for scoring, cracking, or excessive wear. Check brake lines and hoses for leaks, cracks, or damage. Inspect brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir (should be between MIN and MAX marks). Check fluid condition - should be clear to light amber, not dark or contaminated.
   ℹ️If brake pads are below 4mm thickness or any damage is found, recommend brake service immediately
8. 8

   Inspect suspension and steering components
   Inspect front struts for leaking oil or damage. Check control arm bushings for cracking or excessive wear. Inspect tie rod ends and ball joints for play or torn boots. Check CV axle boots for tears or grease leaks. Examine sway bar links and bushings for wear. Rock front wheels to check for excessive play in wheel bearings.
9. 9

   Inspect exhaust system and undercarriage
   Visually inspect entire exhaust system from manifold to tailpipe for leaks, damage, or excessive corrosion. Check exhaust hangers and heat shields for security. Inspect fuel lines and hoses for leaks or damage. Check transmission for leaks at pan gasket and axle seals. Examine engine for oil leaks at valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and front crankshaft seal.
10. 10

    Check all fluid levels
    Check engine coolant level in overflow reservoir (should be at FULL mark when cold). Inspect coolant condition - should be pink and clear. Check automatic transmission fluid level with engine at operating temperature and running in Park (use dipstick if equipped, or check via fill plug). Verify brake fluid level. Check power steering fluid level in reservoir. Fill windshield washer reservoir to capacity.
11. 11

    Inspect belts and hoses
    Visually inspect serpentine drive belt for cracking, glazing, fraying, or damage. Check belt tension - should deflect approximately 1/4 inch with moderate thumb pressure at longest span. Inspect all coolant hoses for cracks, bulging, or soft spots. Check hose clamps for tightness and corrosion.
    ℹ️Serpentine belt should be replaced at 90K miles or if any damage is visible
12. 12

    Reinstall wheels and lower vehicle
    Clean wheel mounting surfaces on hubs. Install wheels and hand-tighten lug nuts in star pattern. Lower vehicle until wheels just touch ground but vehicle weight is still on jack stands. Torque lug nuts to specification in star pattern using torque wrench. Remove jack stands and lower vehicle completely. Perform final torque check on lug nuts in star pattern.
13. 13

    Replace wiper blades and check exterior lights
    Install new wiper blades on both front wipers. Test wiper operation. Check operation of all exterior lights including headlights (low and high beam), turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and license plate lights. Replace any burned out bulbs.
14. 14

    Set tire pressures
    Check tire pressure in all four tires plus spare using tire pressure gauge. Refer to driver's door jamb sticker for correct pressure specification (typically 32-35 PSI front and rear for this vehicle). Adjust pressures as needed. Inspect tires for uneven wear, damage, or objects embedded in tread.

Reassembly

1. Ensure oil filler cap is secured tightly
2. Verify air filter box cover is properly latched
3. Confirm glove box is properly reinstalled and operating normally
4. Double-check that all tools have been removed from engine bay and undercarriage
5. Wipe up any spilled fluids from engine and undercarriage

Verification

• Start engine and verify oil pressure light extinguishes within 2-3 seconds
• Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes and check for oil leaks around filter and drain plug
• Turn off engine, wait 5 minutes, then recheck oil level on dipstick - should be at FULL mark
• Check ground under vehicle for any fluid leaks after test idle
• Test drive vehicle 5-10 miles and recheck all fluid levels after vehicle has cooled
• Verify no warning lights are illuminated on instrument cluster
• Reset maintenance reminder light if equipped by following owner's manual procedure
• Document all inspection findings and recommend any additional services needed
