Cl206, thanks! I think that I would do this weekend. The car has been driving OK for few days, but giving another oil change will at least get rid of my concern. Thanks a lot for the help! As well as other folks....

Man! I think I didn't took out the drain bolt and tried to drain the oil from filter housing. That was the problem. How stupid!!! Here is another question. Since I already put a new filter and 5 gallon new oil in, should I do another oil change or it is ok for me to drive another 3-4k miles. I change oil every 5k miles. My ES is on 24K mile right now. Thank you so much!

Folks, I have a 2007 ES 350 and tried to do oil change on Monday evening. I did 2 times before but this time the problem getting worse. What happens is that after I took out the filter house (the mental box holds the oil filter), the oil didn't come out from engine. I have to start up car to make oil coming out. Obviously I could not keep starting car so I did 3-4 times to get enough oil out (about 5 gallons) and add 5 gallons mobile-1 in. I checked document again and I don't think I have seen the small o-ring in my oil change. Would small ring needs to be take out to get oil coming out? I also didn't use the adapter because I didn't use it first time so I thought I don't need it. Please advise! Your assistance is much appreciated!
