Oil change
SOURCE: 1st time changing oil filter on v6 2008 rav 4,
I just changed my oil on my RAV4 V6 and the first thing is you are not looking for the regular canister but a oil housing like on the old farm tractors. You just replace the inside filter cartridge. The canister is in front on the engine on the passenger side. Use a 3/8 socket to open the bottom and drain. Next use a oil filter cap wrench to remove the housing. Actully this is a less messy than my chevy and more "green."

Need much more information--where is the oil filter? what tools are needed to get it off? Do you have to remove the plastic shield? If special tools are required, what are they and where can a person buy them at a reasonable price (obviously not at the dealer).
the motor is a v6. I looked at the upper part of the motor and did not see where the filter would be at. there is a plastic device near the fire wall with the word oil marked on it. would that possibly be it?
