You don't. New Answer: It is unusual for oil to "spew" as you put it, but heavy leakage is normal. Make sure you allow all the oil to drain completely from the pan before removing the oil filter. The only oil that should be coming out when you remove the oil filter should be residual oil from the neck of the feeder line and from the oil in the filter itself, since the darn things are usually at an angle or upside down. Pity they can't improve the location of oil filters, huh?

Where is the fuel filter located and how do you replace it on a 2004 Toyota Camry?

The fuel filter is an integral component of the fuel pump assembly located in the fuel tank. A recent post on the Toyota Nation forum says that the fuel filter can be purchased separately. The fuel pump is reached by removing the rear seat cushion and removing an access plate that holds the fuel pump assembly. My maintenance schedule does not say anything about replacing the fuel filter. A Toyota tech member of Toyota Nation says they very seldom have to replace the fuel filter.
