How to DIY Oil change?

Postby Bbc84 » Sat Dec 20, 2003 11:32 am

How hard is it to do an Oil Change on a 04' Solara V6 SLE?

This is my brothers car so I dont know anything about toyota as I have a Accord V6 myself.

All I found in the manual was it needs 4.7 qts of oil for the oil change. i do not know the location of the filter or the drain bolt. ( I have not looked under the car yet) So any general refence points that can be given would be nice.

I plan on just picking up an oil filter from the dealer, since i dont know if there are any filters out for this car yet.

Just turned 3K miles, and my husband did the first oil change. I now have 5qts. of Mobil 1 flowing through it's arteries. He said it was pretty easy, just don't try removing the oil filter when hot because it sits right under the front exhaust manifold (V-6) and you could get burnt. :D
