    Sorry if this has been covered, but we've been having my wife's oil changed at an oil change place since she got it because I have never dealt with the type of oil filter thats on it. How in the hell do i change it? Is there a write up on here or is it easier than I think. I'm not the most adventurous when it comes to dealing with something on an automobile that I've never done or seen done.

    First get yourself one of these valves!
    http://www.fumotousa.com

    Buy your filter at toyota and use the oil of your choice!
    There is a write up somewhere on how to do it! It's super easy and way cheaper to do yourself!

    The 4.0 on the 4Runners is the Dual VVT-I and is does not have the oil filter on the top of the engine. It is a filter element that sits encased in a enclosure under earh the fan pulley.

    You need. 3/8" drive to remove a cap and insert a special tool that comes with the filter element to drain the filter housing and remove the O ring. Once that's do e you'll need a special filter housing wrench to remove the housing. It's similar to the oil filter one that fits the normal filter but is a hair different. There is a metal tab on the housing you have to removed before you do remove it. Once removed replace the filter element and O rings put everything back together and torque to spec. Remember to oils the O rings though.

    Skid plate under the engine does have to be dropped to do so though.
