Summary
Changing the oil on almost any Toyota is quick and easy to do for most backyard mechanics.
The main problem for most is not to over-tighten the filter and oil pan bolt.
When screwing on the filter, it only needs to be hand tightened and not overly cranked on.
The bolt also does not need to be over-tightened.
Clearing the maintenance required light should be down last, which will come back on after 5000 miles is driven.
