The service includes a new drain plug gasket or washer where the engine uses one, followed by a leak check after the engine runs.

What an oil filter replacement on a 2022 Toyota Avalon Hybrid involves
An oil filter replacement for the 2022 Toyota Avalon Hybrid begins with a filter matched to the engine's specification. Matching matters because the filter must fit the engine and its oiling system correctly; filters are not universal components. The existing filter is removed as part of the oil service, and a new drain plug gasket or washer is installed where this engine uses one. Renewing that sealing item supports a proper seal when the drain plug is reinstalled.
After the new filter and oil are fitted, the engine is run so the technician can check the filter seal for leaks. This final inspection helps identify seepage before the vehicle leaves the service area. For this model year, the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule calls for replacing the oil filter every 10,000 miles. Booking gets the filter matched to the engine actually fitted and replaced alongside the oil. When your Avalon Hybrid is due, schedule service at Courtesy Toyota of Brandon.
Why the filter matters on a 2022 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
The 2022 Toyota Avalon Hybrid uses a 2.5 L inline-four engine running on regular unleaded fuel. As engine oil moves through that engine, it carries away small debris created by normal operation. The oil filter holds that debris so cleaner oil can continue circulating through the lubrication system. Its job is not simply to catch one visible contaminant; it continually manages the material the oil picks up while the engine operates.
Once the filter loads with debris, its bypass valve opens. That means oil still reaches the engine, but it circulates unfiltered—a quiet problem because the engine is not necessarily starved of oil, yet the debris-removal function has been bypassed. That is why stretching one filter across two oil changes is a poor approach. Replacing the filter with the oil renews the component responsible for holding the debris. The manufacturer's published maintenance schedule specifies oil-filter replacement every 10,000 miles for this model year, helping establish when the service is due.
