oil change on a toyota previa

does anyone know how the hell to change the oil on a toyota previa, k reg? its my mums and its been asking for an oil change for ages

very easy , think the oil filter is on the front of the engine , and if u've got a set of sockets u'll have no probs getting the sump plug off

Thanks mate! Can a noob like me do it ya think? Have you done it before? Anything to watch out for? Apart from a face of oil lol

put it up on axel stands as u dont want anything slipping off.

Just be aware that most oil filters are a 'bumhole' to get off so u may need to invest in some oil filter pliers. Once the old oil filter is off - make sure that the seal has come with it, and when u put the new one on - dip ur finger in the new oil and smear it around the new seal as it aids doing it up AND when u go 2 do undo it next year . Put a new sump washer on when replacing the plug as they are 'crush' washers (can only be used once).

Also make sure the engine is hot so the oil isnt so 'Gloopy' (and i dont mean drive it for 2 hours so it burns ur skin - i mean go for a 15 mins blast to warm it up)

Thanks mate, will a big motor like that be ok on axle stands? Also it's automatic if that affects anything? probably not lol! I suppose I can just go to toyota and get the bits?

it'll be fine on stands, and 'no' auto dosnt matter

u can get the bits from toyota/allparts/bennets

ok thanks alot mate
