Drain Plug Torque

The oil drain plug on the 2023 Toyota Corolla should be torqued to 30 ft-lbs (41 Nm). Always use a new crush washer with each oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. The crush washer helps create a tight seal between the drain plug and the oil pan.

How to Change the Oil (Brief Steps)

1. Warm up the engine slightly, then park on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate and place a drain pan beneath the oil drain plug.
3. Remove the oil fill cap.
4. Using a wrench, carefully remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain completely.
5. Replace the drain plug with a new crush washer and tighten to 30 ft-lbs.
6. Locate the oil filter housing (cartridge-style) and remove it with an appropriate oil filter wrench.
7. Remove the old filter element and O-rings. Install the new filter element and new O-rings provided with the filter.
8. Reinstall the filter housing and tighten until snug (typically hand-tight plus a quarter turn, or to manufacturer specifications).
9. Pour the correct amount and type of new oil into the engine through the oil fill opening.
10. Replace the oil fill cap and start the engine. Let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil.
11. Check for leaks around the drain plug and oil filter.
12. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and then check the oil level on the dipstick, adding more if necessary.
