    ^^This.

    ^^And this.

    I go in through the fenderwell and just use some of the old oil to lube the rubber seal on the new filter.

    Edit: I see you have a 2.7. My first tacoma was a 2.7 and I honestly can't remember where/how I got to the filter on it haha.

    Its mounted vertically upside down. I wrap a plastic bag around mine and ease it off letting the bag catch the majority of the oil. Its still very awkward. I just oil the gasket on my filters prior to putting it on. I also just give it one hard turn just after its seated so i can get it off easily the next time.

    ^^^Good to know I don't have to fill the new filter, thanks.

    I tried reaching through the fender well for the filter, but it was just too far in there to get any leverage to twist it off. Maybe if I had some fancy ratchet attachment it would work, but I was just doing a hand job on it.

    I did put some oil on the filter gasket though, luckily the oem filters have step by step installation instructions on them for noobs like me. :)

    I just mounted it with the hardware given. I did shave some with the dremel to aim them properly.

    Haha. Gotta do what ya gotta do to get it off.;) Should have got my GF to take it off, would have been my entertainment for the day.:) She did a great job holding my POS Canadian Tire funnel though. Maybe next time I'll get one that threads into the valve cover, and a fumoto valve too maybe..

    only once, but when i found out she was a dude, i kicked her off set pretty quick....

    oh wait, you meant the truck, right?

    :p

    i have been fortunate about the transmission and motor...

    only big issues were the catalytic going bad at 275,000 miles...

    air idle control valve at 190,000 miles...

    fuel pump failed at 215,000 miles...

    steering rack died at 230,000 miles...
