Yes just the front.

Interesting. I heard that to change the oil, the whole vehicle must be level to ensure that all the old oil drips out correctly? I would imagine that if some of the old oil didn't come out, it probably wouldn't be a bid deal, especially with Synthetic. Just Curious.

I personally just do the front. On my other honda's the bolts are in various places, If I am lucky they are toward the end the is tilted BACK when I lift one side of the car. On the IS, since it is on the side, I would say that if you want to get ALL of the oil out, pull the drain plug, lower the car (leaving the jack under the car) and let it sit for an hour. Then jack it back up and reinstall the bolt.

But I would guess that you may get 1/2 a cup of extra oil out. Not that important IMHO, but to each their own.

Do you guys know if the YZZF2 filter will cause any leak? It is slightly smaller and I think it is for the 2JZ-GTE motor. It fits onto our motor fine, however, it is smaller in diameter, probably by 2mm.

I thought the oil filters for the GE and GTE motors were all the same.

Thanks in advance.

the YZZF2 filters are for the 4cylinder Toyota Camry and Carolla engines (5S-FE, 2ZZ, 1ZZ, 2AZ, the like). They shouldn't be able to meet the filter flange, and would leak like a bitch. 2JZ's of any caliber need to use the YZZD1 (original JDM Toyota filter. came on your motor from Japan), 02011 (old Toyota part number. I've been with Toyota for 3 years, and they've changed the part number at least 3 times), or YZZG1 (current Toyota Taiwanese number. Most common right now). Long story short, a 89 Toyota HiLux pickup truck uses the same filter as your 05 IS300. This filter is super-common.

14mm 3/8” deep socket

is this a one-size-fits-all type thing, or is it more varied?
