How do you change oil filter on 2009 Toyota Camry 4cylinder?

Answer 1

The oil filter is located immediately adjacent to the oil pan in a vertical recess. This will be on the passenger side half of the car. The black plastic underbody splash guard has a semi-circular cutout at its rear edge which will make finding the filter very easy the first time. The filter itself is vertically oriented which makes removing it a snap with a fluted cup-type oil filter wrench. Having it vertically oriented will minimize oil spillage, as the filter can be brought straight down after completely unscrewing it from its mounting boss. Bill - Natick, Mass. Is there enough room in the vertical space to hand tighten the filter for replacement?
