How difficult is an oil change in a 2009 Toyota Sienna? Does one require a special tool?

I have the filter parts, but I'm not sure if I need a special tool to remove the canister.How difficult is an oil change in a 2009 Toyota Sienna? Does one require a special tool?We have owned 5 Toyotas from brand new during the past 20 years and currently own Toyota Sienna XLE and Toyota Highlander 6 cylinder AWD.



DIY oil changes save a lot of money but sometimes can be messy. There are no special tools other than a 10mm and 14mm socket, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan and knowing order on what to remove in order to reach %26amp; remove the filter. Also I recommend you inquiring and knowing which local service stations or area recycling facilities accept used motor oil.



Additionally I recommend always using genuine Toyota oil filters and don't forget to drain the ATF fluid every 25K to 30K miles.

You can pour the used oil into a used (clean) milk jug to take for recycling.How difficult is an oil change in a 2009 Toyota Sienna? Does one require a special tool?PLEASE LISTEN!!! You need a specific filter wrench that can be purchased at your dealer's parts counter. It's the same wrench for all Toyota cartridge filters and must be used to avoid damaging the housing. You can buy the filter wrench at any auto store, but I don't know the way they are sized, I just get mine from the parts counter. It has a 3/8 drive and your drain plug is 14mm. A 14mm 3/8 drive socket, the filter wrench, and a 3/8 drive ratchet are needed along with a 3 inch 3/8 extension for the filter wrench. It's a little recessed on the 2GR, which is the engine code for the 3.5 V6 in your van, and using the extension will give you access to the filter housing. Remember to replace the rubber gasket on the main part of the housing. There's a drip hole with a 3/8 female end located in the center of the filter housing, but you should not bother removing it. So, your filter should have had two gaskets included, and you will only be using the larger gasket for the housing. Put some clean oil on the gasket before re-installing the filter housing with the new filter inside. This prevents the gasket from tearing and prevents you from losing all your oil. There's also a drain plug gasket that you can get at the Toyota parts counter. This should also be replaced with every oil change. You can buy them in bulk at Toyota so you don't have to go back each time. This makes it sound much harder than it is. After the first time, you'll know what you're doing, just don't undershoot when refilling the oil. Depending on the vehicle, the 2GR takes somewhere between 5.25 and 6.25 quarts. It should say in your owner's manual what the capacity of your engine is. Good luck, and feel free to contact me with any specific questions about your van.
