I would recommend against using a band filter clamp there is almost no room for that. I would recommend cap style as R2D2 said above.

If you turn the oil filter in the direction you indicate in your illustration to loosen it you will tighten it instead.

I'm going to be doing an oil change on my Yaris today or tomorrow and I want to get something clear before, kinda dumb question...
The drain plug is the one circled in red right? Better safe than sorry. |

FYI, don't qoute me..., but If I remember correctly my Amsoil monthly info a couple months ago said something about Toyota going either 0w20, or 5w20 recommended in 2010 or 2011 cars. Evedently for better mileage. I'll try to find the info.

LOL WUT ? I have fed my 5VZ Mobil 1 since day 1 in 1998, and 184,000 miles later it still exceeds EPA (22mpg, epa is 19) and I have super clean exhaust, no knock sensor activity on 87 octane. every 8000-10,000 miles new Mobil 1 and new filter. My cams have almost undetectable wear. My engine has no sludge I repeat no sludge at all, whatsoever. I beat the crap out of it and it is still more powerful than a brand new motor. original pistons original rings original valves original cams. I don't know where you get your Mobil 1 info but it sounds like you are slamming it for some unknown reason. try 11 years of serious engine beatdowns, and after seeing virtually no wear then tell me Mobil 1 is not all it is cracked up to be. (virtually no wear means everything measurable and made of metal and uses oil lubrication is within spec by a large factor) mobil 1 rocks |

Oops, I put in too much oil than I should have...I think, reading the damn dipstick, as easy as it sounds, is a pain because one side has the oil at the full level and the other side has it way above the full level. It's pretty misleading so I don't know if I over filled it or not.
Are there any real consequences (drop in MPG, bad for the engine?) from this or will it be fine? It should be fine as long as I don't get any checking engine lights or oil pressure lights coming on right? Last edited by yarisitis; 10-11-2009 at 08:25 PM. |

Install a Fumoto valve in the drain hole, then oil changing is easier and if you over fill, you can drain a little to the correct level.

So the measurement from the dipstick is about this where the red line is:
Way too much? I'm guessing so, I guess I'll just drain a little from the drain plug. |
