There is no filter as such. It is a metal gauze that can be cleaned out. There is also 4 small magnets in the base of the sump. There are many bolts on the tsmn sump with no gasket I found it difficult to get an oil tight seal> As with all of the toyota bolts they appear to be over torqued by the factory. My advice would be not to remove the sump unless there is a problem. Change the oil if you must (I did) but the only way to fill it up is via the dipstick which is labourious and if as I found you do not get a good layer of sealant on the alloy sump flange then it will leak and you will have to drain down to reseal. And I would not reuse the oil. Leave well alone unless someone tells you otherwise.
