It's the third day with my new 2010 Tundra and as a Toyota owner I've always been very pleased at the ease of doing my own work. Until I just read this section I couldn't even find the thing and my heart dropped when I saw what you guys have described as where the oil filter is located. The person that engineered that design must have been a service advisor for Toyota because people aren't going to go through all that for an oil change. Have to start thinking of some aftermarket design for the old screw on filter.
No wonder my salesman rolled his eyes and changed the subject when I asked him to point out where the filter was before the sale.
