My friend said that it was easy and l didnt wanna waste my money by going to a dealer to get it changed

If you can afford an overrated Toyota, you can afford to take it to the dealer for an oil change. If you can not pay for the maintenance, you should not bought it ;-)

it is called life time filter because u r supposed to leave it in the car for 100K or more. If u have anything u leave in for 100K in the car, taking out would be difficult. You r going need a breaker bar that is least 18'' long with good quality socket to open the bolt. Taking it to a mechanic is not a bad idea.

Replacement procedure is simple. Put a rag over it, & open the bolts & take out the filter. The put new filter in & torque down the bolts. l can usually do it in less than 30 minutes. As a beginner, it will take 1 hour or more.
