To change the motor oil of a Toyota Avalon, start by parking the vehicle on a flat surface and turning off the engine to let it cool down. Lift the front part with a jack and secure it with jack stands for safety.

Place a pan under the oil pan plug, then unscrew the plug using a wrench. Let the old oil drain completely.

Next, remove the oil filter with a specific wrench and replace it with a new one, lubricating the gasket with some fresh oil. Screw the oil pan plug back on and fill the engine with the type and amount of oil specified in the manual. Check the level with the dipstick and start the engine for a few minutes, then check for leaks and make sure the level is correct.
