2009 Sienna Oil Change

How to change oil on a 2009 Toyota Sienna with a close look at the paper type filter that Toyota is using. As per gojo238, " most people recommend the KD Tools #3253 filter wrench. it's 65 mm. This tool seems to only be available online, but is readily available from Ebay for less than $10, often with free shipping."

Great video. Close in, not shakey, excellent first person view. Exactly the info anyone needs. Good job. Thanks for putting this up.

[@eb626]

thanks for the vid, you saved me atleast $60. Full synthetic oil change usually cost be $100. I now do it myself for $40 including filter. Synthetic on sale for $30.

[@pettruck6297]

i know nothing about cars. this made gave me confidence.

[@joshludwig2871]

I watched a lot of videos and your video was the simplest and easiest to follow. Thanks!

[@stateboy80892]

This will help me greatly!.. Went into O'Reillys thinking it took a standard oil filter lol much to my surprise.. Great video thanks a bunch!

[@alextorres3948]

This was very helpful, I've changed the only for my caravan and town&country, i just got this 2009 sienna and this will be the first time I change the oil. The filter is different, but I got it. Thanks

[@schnepferic]

Jim - I watched your precisely done video prior to changing my oil. It was perfect and I thank you.

[@normanspurgeon5324]

Very nice video-thanks. You did not indicate how much oil you put in- that is the info I watched this video for. Walmart just told me the put in 6.5 quarts. An important piece of information. Thanks

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

You are welcome Eric... best wishes on the oil change !

[@homecourtadvantagepe8581]

Very good video. I plan to do this tomorrow on my van. Thanks

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Thanks ! I only have 31,000 miles on the van at this point so it may be a while before I get around to changing the plugs. But I will try and make a spark plug video when that time comes.

[@SelfAdjustment]

You do the spark plugs on that van yet?

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

A really big pipe wrench would likely work or you might try wrapping the filter housing in a small towel and wedging it between a door and the door jamb( if you have a helper). You might also be able to wrap the filter housing in a ratchet strap and pin it tightly in the corner of a cyclone fence or use the weight of a car's tire to pin the straps tight. Good luck and best wishes !

[@scoolover]

This was great. Probably saved me an hour or trial and error. Thank you.

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment :-)

[@JOLchurch]

Nicely done video. Thanks. If you use the specialized oil filter housing tool to tighten the oil filter housing, you will be able to get that inner train plug off the oil filter housing next time without taking the whole housing off. No big deal, of course, but it's a little neater drain process.

[@gojoe283]

thank you Jim. I don't think my oil change places have been changing the filter, and they want over $70. to do the job, so I'm going to try to do it myself on my wife's 09 Sienna. I always do my own oil changes on my own car, my '66 Chevy Corvair Monza.

[@TheRealFumigator]

Nice job walking through the process, you have a great way of explaining things succinctly.

[@nambiarsudeep]

Thanks for posting Jim. This is definitely better than the other videos I've come across.

[@SimpleAdventuresLLMSX]

Thanks for the video. I must say I don't know why toyota decided to do something like this for the oil filter rather then just leaving it like the 04-06 models.

[@stevensevek6151]

Why Cartridge Filters kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3maaqh6h5eMfK8

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

I put the filter housing in a vice to hold it and then used a 3/8 drive ratchet to take the filter drain shoe plate off. I got my filter wrench (which I did not have to use) from the Toyota dealer.

[@stephenlewis4692]

Great instructional video! Good lighting, well explained. I now feel very well prepared to do the job myself. Thanks!

[@ericruiz6142]

That makes my job on my sienna very easy thanks

[@PickyOne]

There is one mistake, time 4:44 when you screw back the filter housing you can not use the the little cap 3/8 opening to tighten the whole thing, because you're gonna put too much pressure on the little cap unnecessarily, next time you won't be able to release the drain cap first because it is too tight and the whole filter is gonna rotate causing the oil to spill on your hand which defeats the purpose of the little cap and plastic tube theory. There is a special tool for this kind of filters

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Good point ! Thanks for taking time to post you comment !

[@islomiymaruzalar4949]

Hamad Alganis is there a specific tool that u can use to tighten the whole filter?

[@michaelengle9062]

yes.. couple of vendors sell them, I use the Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 640

[@azeissler1987]

True that. 30ft lbs for oil drain plug. 20ft lbs for oil filter canister. 10ft lbs for the oil filter drain plug.

[@outoftime788]

ther shouldnt be a special tool to remove the whole thing. u should b able to remove n replace by hand

[@keithmahorney4451]

This guy knows what he is doing. Thank you for taking the time to video this as I about to change oil on my 2015 Rav 4 and feel very confident after watching your video. Great job.

[@stevensevek6151]

Not totally. He obviously never read the instructions that come with an OEM Toyota filter. (Or chose not to follow them.)

[@njsongwriter]

If that is true then why did he tighten the oil filter cap assembly by using a ⅜ inch extension? That is NOT the correct way to do it.

[@richardday1986]

Thank you for the video follow the step-by-step

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

I got mine at the Toyota dealer... but you might try turning your filter first with a 3/8" socket driver and a 4" extension. If it turns, you may not even need the wrench. I'm not sure of the size the wrench. You may be able to contact the dealer and find out the size... but I think it is exclusive to Toyota and may be the only place that you can get one. Best wishes !

[@njsongwriter]

This one is highly recommended... www.amazon.com/dp/B00XTAGHU0/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzVlZCV0tMOUhHQ0JMJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODEzNjQ0MU4xTElaVjhISFJKUCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTQwMDE1MjFQWjRIR1lHOFZOUCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2hxcF9zaGFyZWQmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Thanks Sudeep ! I appreciate your comment.

[@mostlyretiredTed]

I have one thing to add. Just prior to re-installing the oil filter/canister, fill canister to the 3/4 (approx) amount with the new oil you will be using. Just prevents it from running dry for the first few seconds when the car is restarted.

[@DarthAnna]

Great video Jim! Thanks

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Thank YOU for the feedback ! :-)

[@tubamyxuan9126]

good job, i could not find the oil-filter. thank you for the video

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Thanks for your comment Josh !

[@lisbethfg989]

Thank you Jim so much for teaching it so well. Now I can make sure it gets done correctly since I don't have those tools just yet.

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

You may have to get a replacement from your Toyota dealer... or check with any local auto salvage yards and see if they have one.

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Rick, Thank you for your comment !

[@tommy3toes74]

hi Jim, good video. !!. Q: when you reassemble everything with filter housing and you tighten it on the engine, should you have used another type of tool to tighten it as apposed to using the smaller plug, to turn the whole unit?. I would imagine that would over tighten the small plug?. just a guess. .. thanks for great video!!

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

+tommy3toes74 That makes sense. I usually just use my hand to tighten the filters and that has never failed me.

[@tommy3toes74]

Same here, this is all new to me..lol

[@stevensevek6151]

Yes. Oil filter cap torque: 25 (±5) N•m/18 (±3.5) ft lbs Oil filter drain plug torque: 13 N•m/10 ft lbs

[@njsongwriter]

Tommy, you are 100% correct.

[@williampawson7278]

Thanks Jim, much appreciated

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

I got mine at the Toyota place... but you might first try turning your filter housing with the 3/8" ratchet extension since the filter wrench cost around $30.

[@stevensevek6151]

Oil filter cap wrenches for Toyota are $10 to $25 on Amazon. Just be sure to get one made from forged aluminum and not cast aluminum. AND buy the right one. One is made for the 1.8 liter engine found in the Corolla and some other models. The larger one fits all other Toyota engines with the cartridge system.

[@marcosramirez4581]

Thank for this video Jim, sure was really helpful. God bless you and thank you once again.

I totally agree with ricky celkos... best Sienna oil change video. Can you make one on how to change the spark plugs?

Thanks for the comment gojo. I have added your information to the video description area.

[@12000peak]

great video! now I can save some money (doing my own oil change) mine is 2007 sienna, it should be the same as your? also do you have any video on changing the windshield wipers?? (got some new wipers from COSTCO) Thanks!

[@sergiogobzakez837]

I agree with Hamad Alganis and with Ted Antkow

[@klarkramirez8897]

Gracias Gim

[@ronmiller1794]

good vid thanks for the info. im just for some reason scared of supertech oil.

[@EC-ol8nz]

Please don't use Supertech oil. I have done testing and its no better than recycled used name brand oil. If your car is new and in good shape use good standard oil. If it burns oil, but works great, use Pennzoil. Pennzoil burns even and you can add at a regular interval. Works great in old lawn mowers, and my old 1980's gmc truck. I use Amsoil XL in my Sienna and Ford E450 in the winter. I live near Lake Superior. I don't want to change oil in -20 below weather. Fresh Supertech oil rattles my engine to death in winter. In summer I use Valvoline, Mobile, Castrol... whatever is on sale. But not Supertech!!!

[@DarthAnna]

Supertech oil is used oil that has been filtered. It will look dirty after 1000 miles or so.

[@Eli_is_a_Lauver]

@@JimThomasOutdoors thanks.

[@stevensevek6151]

The whole oil filter cap comes off with the oil filter drainplug cause someone didn't follow torque specs on the previous oil change. Or because someone screwed it on by using a ⅜ inch ratchet or extension on the filter drainplug to tighten the filter cap assembly. Hmmm, I wonder who did that and just taught everyone watching this video to do the same thing.

[@Youtubespyonme]

Get an oil filter wrench that's very good investment

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

I have one for my other cars... but this one does not have "normal" oil filter dimensions.

[@garrycole9187]

You can buy the tool for removing the oil housing at Autozone and it fits perfectly even to the little fins way on top for 9.99 so don't need to go online to buy that. Also the plug and filter did not come off that easily on mine so if you have a torquing wrench or a pipe to extend your handle to get more torque, that really helps a lot too.

[@EC-ol8nz]

I hope with Supertech you stick to 2500 mile oil change regiment. I couldn't get by with that stuff here up north in the winter. Great video thanks!!! Just changed my Sienna.

[@njsongwriter]

I agree that 3000 miles maximum with Super Tech conventional BUT if you're using Super Tech full synthetic then change intervals can be the same as most full synthetic oils. I use Super Tech full synthetic and change mine every 5,000 miles. Supertech vs Redline kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKjUpWisfpWiZ6M

[@njsongwriter]

You are not suppose to tighten the oil filter cap assembly by using your ⅜ inch extension. That's why when you try to remove the oil filter drainplug the whole thing comes off. Duh! Tighten the oil filter cap with your oil filter cap wrench to 18 ft.lbs. Tighten the oil filter drainplug to only 10 ft.lbs. using the ⅜ inch extension.

[@sd906238]

Is the metal oil filter cap original? Or was the original plastic and it end up breaking?

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

We got the Sienna already used but I think that all parts of the filter housing including the bottom end cap were metal.

[@njsongwriter]

Our daughter's 2011 Sienna is plastic!

[@gojoe283]

Most people recommend the KD Tools #3253 filter wrench. it's 65 mm. This tool seems to only be available online, but is readily available from Ebay for less than $10, often with free shipping.

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

I think it is metric... but a 15/16" will fit it with just a bit of wiggle room.

[@stevensevek6151]

Depends on what brand oil filter cap wrench. Mine is 27mm.

[@struong57]

Does anyone know if the oil filter is located in the same spot for a 2011 Sienna?

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Steve, I'm not certain, but I think that it is in the same location. You might try using a hand mirror just inside the right front tire and having a look around.

[@truehang]

and another thing at the minutes of 2:42,, my doesn't have that cap so yeah maybe when someone change it they forgot to put it back on... so do you know how to buy 1 of the cap?

[@njsongwriter]

If yours doesn't have a drainplug on the oil filter then you must have a different model Toyota?

[@mastercylinder0078]

No drain plug washer? Needed or not?

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

Mine does not have a drain plug washer but the plug bolt does have a bit of a flange at the head... either way it does not seem to drip any oil.

[@mastercylinder0078]

Jim Thomas thank you sir

[@stevensevek6151]

You are NOT suppose to use a screwdriver or pick to remove the o-rings. See the instructions that come with the OEM filter. Or watch this video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpKZYWClf9Wsjs0

[@who6284]

close ur eyes and listen to 1:44 to 1:58

[@davidwhitney1277]

The inner cap on the filter housing is a nuisance. It is intended to be tightened to 9.5 ft-lbs, with the outer housing tightened to 19 ft-lbs. So, theoretically, a force of between 9.5 and 19 ft-lbs should loosen it independently. In reality, however, the entire assembly comes off. The only point I can see in the inner cap is to limit spillage; its easier IMO to just wear gloves, anticipate the spillage, and remove the main cap, and forget the nuisance inner cap.
