Instructions
- 1Open the Sienna's hood and open the oil filler cap on top of the engine.
- 2Raise the front of the Sienna with a floor jack. Slide jack stands under the vehicle's subframe and lower the Toyota onto the jack stands. Remove the floor jack.
- 3Crawl under the Sienna and locate the oil pan, which is the metal pan on the bottom of the engine. Set a drain pan under the drain plug in the oil pan. Loosen the drain plug, using the closed end of a combination wrench, and remove the drain plug by hand.
- 4Remove the oil drain plug gasket and clean the drain plug, using a clean, lint-free cloth. Install a new gasket on the drain plug. Hand-tighten the drain plug into the oil pan once only slow drips of oil come from the pan. Tighten the drain plug to 30 foot-pounds, using a torque wrench and a six-point socket.
- 5Locate the oil filter cap, which is the circular, metal cap on the passenger-side front of the engine. Set the drain pan under the oil filter cap and loosen it with a 64 mm oil filter cup and a ratchet. Allow the oil to drain from the oil filter housing, then remove the oil filter cap and oil filter.
- 6Place the blade of a flat-head screwdriver under the rubber O-ring on the oil filter cap, and pry the O-ring from its groove in the cap. Remove the O-ring from the oil filter cap.
- 7Install a new O-ring on the oil filter cap and roll it up the cap until it seats in the groove on the cap. Set a new oil filter in the oil filter cap.
- 8Place a small amount of new engine oil on your finger and coat the O-ring on the oil filter cap with oil. Hand-tighten the oil filter cap onto the engine. Apply 18 foot-pounds of torque to the oil filter cap, using a 64 mm oil filter cup and a torque wrench.
- 9Raise the Sienna off of the jack stands, using a floor jack, and remove the jack stands. Lower the van to the ground.
- 10Insert a funnel into the oil filler hole and pour in 6.4 qts. of 5W-30 engine oil.
- 11Allow the oil to settle for approximately 1 minute and remove the oil dipstick. Wipe the dipstick clean, using a clean, lint-free cloth and reinsert the dipstick. Remove the dipstick and check that the oil level is between the two dots on the bottom of the dipstick. Add engine oil as needed. Close the oil filler cap.
- 12Start the engine and allow it to run for 2 to 3 minutes. Check and adjust the oil level according to the procedure in step 11. Close the Sienna's hood.
- 13Insert a funnel in an empty oil bottle and fill this bottle with old oil from the drain pan. Close the bottle's cap when the bottle is full. Repeat this step until all of the oil is out of the drain pan.
- 14Take the bottles of old oil and the filter to a local automotive oil recycling center. Many auto parts stores recycle old oil free of charge.

Remove the drain plug with a 14mm wrench. The plug washer is number 90430-12028.
There is a smaller insert that you can remove. In my case, since I tighten the whole assembly from the insert, the whole filter comes off when I remove the insert. The best way is probably to just use a 65 mm cap wrench to remove the canister. There is a plastic fitting you can use to drain the oil from the canister via the whole beneath the insert. I find it works just as well to put a drain pan beneath the canister, take it off, and dump out the oil.
Here is the inside of the canister:
An oil change shop munged up the canister. Plus, they didn't replace the o-rings and oil leaked, which is why I'm back to changing my own oil again.
My technique of tightening the filter made the insert difficult to get out. I had to put the canister in a vice. I didn't tighten the vice down, I just set it so it would catch the fins and used a 1/2 inch ratchet and 3/8 inch adapter to remove the insert:
Here you can see the insert removed, as well as the small o-ring. The hole in the center is where you stick the plastic drain spout:
The filter I'm using is a 04152-YZZA1; however, this filter has been superseded by part number 04152-YZZA5. Both the filters and the plug washer are available from your Toyota dealer, or online at Toyota Parts Center. Here is the filter label:
Here is the new o-ring installed on the outside of the inner canister:
It is kind of nice to only have to discard the paper element and install a fresh new one that is visible:
