If you are fortunate to finally find the oil filter on the 5.7L engine You know it's under the skid plate. But your dilemma starts there.

I also own a 2008 5.7L Tundra and I believe it's the same engine as the 2007. The oil filter is not going to be what you expect, it's not a "Can" like you are used to seeing. It's in a special compartment with 4 bolts and it's a paper filter. The tool necessary to remove it can only be purchased from MAC tools. No one else has it. I found this out from both the Service manager and parts manager at my local Toyota dealer. I've decided to let Toyota do the oil changes.

The transmission is also different. "NO TRANNY DIP STICK" I was told that the transmission is designed to go 100,000 miles before the first checkup I must be brought up to s certain temperature and again a special tool is used to check it.

Something else I can no longer do. So I've decided to check the air in the tires. OOPS Toyota has that covered also. The tire reset button is by your right knee under the dash. The light in the dash tells you when a tire is low.

OKAY I'll was the windows. BTW: the cabin air filter is behind the lower glove box and is easy to replace. ( send me a message on my "message board' if you want to know how to change it. )

How do you change the oil filter on a 1997 Toyota Avalon?

Which oil filter is on 2008 Toyota Tundra?

Which engine? There are 3 different engine sizes and yes they have different filters. I highly suggest that if you have a 5.7L engine you let the dealer do it. ( talk to a service manager first before you try it, you will be shocked to find out what you have to go through to change that oil filter.) Also the transmission is the same way ( don't try to service it your self, add tranny oil) on the 5.7 engine there is NO tranny dip stick. It's designed to go 100,000 before servicing. I own a 2008 5.7 L Tundra I know! I also have a 2008 Tundra with the 5.7L iforce motor. Toyota dealer in Va. said you can buy the oil filter wrench from Snapon. Don't know how much it is haven't bought one yet. Also the engine id label plate that has your engine info will have the letters you'll need to match the right wrench with your motor. Not sure if yours is the same as but mine has 3URFE on the label plate. And if that is the case then the part number for Snapon is 09228-06501. Hope that helps. If you elect to do the oil change yourself. You have to drop the skidplate first. Then remove the 4 screws that hold in the oil filter. It's not a oil can but a paper filter. You will need the tool here. If you get it in wrong it will leak. The oil is not 30 weight but Toyota 0 weight. That's right ZERO weight. Now you know why I let Toyota do it.


Where is oil filter housing VDj79?

I presume you are asking for the location of the engine oil filter as it is a fully submersible filter it is located on the rear of the lowest part of the engine (sump) LHS you will see a aluminium filter cap which you need to purchase the SST (specialised service tool) to remove of Toyota which is not expensive but to begin with I first used a chain wrench but i highly recommend purchasing the SST of Toyota to service your VDJ79R engine oil filter as I change my filter and oil every 5000 km

No. 2008 highlander has a aluminum filter housing you need to remove with a special type of filter wrench. I was able to tap mine loose without a wrench but it could be at 24n-m tight which is difficult to loosen.
