2019 4 runner oil

[JavierH19]

The 5th gen 4Runner (2010-to the current 2022) uses a cartridge oil filter.

The only real issue with the oil change, is 'lube tech' hacks, who are in a hurry, stripping, cross-threading, or just over-torquing fasteners, and/or the cartridge filter cap. With the proper tools, and competence, it's not that hard of a job.

Oh I thought toyota also switched that engine to a canister as well like they did to the majority of their lineup in 2018.

With the different cylinder heads on the Dual VVT-i 1GR-FE, there wasn't a place for the top mounted oil canister as on the Single VVT-i 1GR-FE.

I was wondering why they changed it. Thanks for the explanation.
