I think you may want to read the following before you try to drain the oil on your 2008 Tundra if you have a 5.7L engine: I've answered this question several times:
-----------------------------Heres my answer to the question---------------Where do you get the oil filter wrench for the 5.7 L Toyota?----------------------
I had a conversation with the parts man at my Toyota dealer today I asked the same question. I also own a 2008 5.7 Tundra.
First of all, if you found the oil filter you know how hard it is to get to. (Drop the skid plate.) Then you discovered that there was no ordinary oil filter like you've ever seen before. And finally you got to the paper filter after removing the oil cover plate. (Yea! I'm not kidding.)
Well the parts man told me that you can't just purchase the tool to remove the filter it's a special tool that you can only get through MAC tools. You know the guys that drive the big white tool trucks, and it's expensive. NO ONE ELSE SELLS THE TOOL! NO ONE!
So I've decided to let Toyota do the oil changes. $80 and they rotate the tires too.
I'll bet you can't find the transmission dip stick either. Because there is NONE. Something else new to confuse you. They told me that the 5.7 tranny is designed to go 100,000 miles before an oil change in the tranny. The tranny must be brought up to a special temp and a special tool has to be used to check it and fill it. (Frustrating isn't it.) Something else that I decided to let Toyota do. I'll bet you looked in the owners manual to find out where the oil filter and tranny dipstick is, and could not really find anything. (Right) I also looked.
If you look in the manual to find how to change the "CABIN filter" (Bet you didn't know there was one) you won't really find anything either. It's easy, it behind the lower glove box. Open the Box, Remove the brace on the right side. Squeeze the sides of the box inward a little and pull it out. You will see a trap door. Open it and pull out the cabin air filter and replace it. Instructions come with it when you buy a new one at any auto store. (Cost about $25) Toyota charges $58 to do this same thing.
I've resigned myself to checking the air in the tires. Oh wait, the 2008 also does that automatically. The reset tire button is under the dash by your right knee. (Sigh!)
where is the filter located.
Take it to your dealer
2008 Owners manual says: with filter 7.0 without filter 6.6

with filter it's 4.5 qt
The oil filter on a 2008 Saturn Astra is located in front of the engine. The oil filter can be found on the underside of the exhaust manifold towards the passenger side of the vehicle.
New oil and a filter. Metric Socket and ratchet, and possibly a filter wrench if the filter was installed by an amateur who put it on too tight.
Changing the oil filter on the 2008 RAV4 only requires changing the filter element. The filter element is located in the reusable oil filter housing located near the front of the motor below. If you have your owners manual the location is referenced in the book.

The oil filter for the 2008 rav4 is located directly in front of the oil pan. It is oriented vertically and contained within a metallic screw shell. The filter is a drop in type. There are instructions on the filter shell that indicate which direction to open and which to close the shell.
