2008-2020 Toyota Sequoia Oil Change How-To

This is a how-to for the 2008-2020 (Gen 2) Toyota Sequoia’s engine oil change. Pretty standard job, aside from having to remove the undertray.

Items/Tools Required:

Step 1: Get the car up. Use appropriate jacks & stands, and the lug nuts are 22mm.
Step 2: I always loosen the oil cap & the dipstick to let the oil drain quicker.
Step 3: Locate the oil drain pan. The plug is in the lower left, and takes a 14mm. Drain the oil. Once oil is drained, replace the plug.
Step 4: The undertray needs to be removed to access the oil filter. It looks like the bolts holding mine were modified, but it’s 3 10mm screws in the front, and various 12mm nuts & bolts that can be accessed through the holes.

Step 5: Locate the oil filter, and get your oil filter adapter on it to drain and swap.
Step 6: Let the oil filter drain, and discard the old oil filter. Replace with new oil filter, add some oil in, and replace.
Step 7: Refill the oil. Use a funnel to prevent spills. The car takes about 8qts. After refilling, take for a spin and measure on the dipstick on a level surface.
