DIY 4.0 oil change

Hi guys. I just bought an 08 Tundra 4.0 double cab and will be doing the oil change soon. I've been doing searches and can't seem to find anything. I only find the 5.7 oil change threads. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks.

It is straight forward. The filter is at the front top on the drivers side. Just open the hood and you will see it.

Sorry. This is the best pic I have laying around.


Make sure there is a drain hose attached to the mount. Otherwise the oil will drain all over the front of the motor.

The drain bolt on the motor is easily found too. One of the easier vehicles I have changed oil in.

My mothers 4 runner has the 4Liter engine.

Is it ok to go with 6 quarts with filter change of course for regular oil change or 5 quarts?

I DON'T LIKE TO WASTE HALF A QUART IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

P.S. when are they going to stop this .5 quart thing on oil changes, we like whole number so round it up or down TOYOTA!!
