- Oil Change DIY from the tools, materials needed and the handling of the infamous plastic oil filter housing. Also I'll go over the maintenance re-set procedure on the dashboard without having to go back to the dealer.

I've watched about fifteen of these Taco oil change videos. Congratulations, you're the only person that bothered to fill the filter housing with oil.
Same thoughts
That's cause your not supposed to fill the filter housing
I added maybe 1/3 cup. I was afraid of over filling and making a mess. Not worth the risk I think. What difference does it actually make?
@@paulgriffith5031 yea, never see that before
that does absolutely nothing. I've worked on customers 4th gen 4runners with the upside down filter on top the engine that can't be pre-filled and many had around 400k miles.
ok this is one of the most thorough car maintenance videos I've ever seen.
Best one on CZcams for sure. 👍
Thanks for making this video it was extremely helpfully. That tool for the oil filter worked perfect.
You are really good at this. I most appreciated the lighting. We could see every single part of your demonstration instead of having to guess what you were doing in low lighting. The only suggestion I have is to put links to the parts and tools in your Show More description. But very nicely done.
Thanks man,The most complete videos on a basic oil change on a taco👍
Nicely done video, straight to the point, actual pictures of torque specs/part numbers so I can just scroll through when I eventually forget and no annoying unnecessary commentary. Thank you
Very good video!! All information was clearly given. You didn’t over explain or drag things out. I like the tork spec information and the information on the wrench adapter and drain plug!!
Best video on Tacoma oil change. Thank you for this👍
This is a great video, very good editing. Clear concise and to the point.
Nice to see someone do the oil change process correctly
Good job !
I wasn't going to watch another oil change video but when I saw the home made ramps, I had to watch it. Nice! I don't own a Tacoma but I still enjoyed watching your video. Not only was the video well done but so was the oil change tutorial.
Nice video I recommend he explains step by step the best of the best 👌
This is an EXCELLENT video. You covered everything in detail, clear and precise. I was a gov't contractor technical writer and I appreciate a detailed description that makes a process idiot proof. 👍👍👍
You sir make superb videos! Clear, concise to the point with all the info. Thanks
I have a couple of taco videos and thought about doing an oil change video. I can tell you that this video would have blown mine away.
Well done sir!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Just got my ‘23 OR manual and will be doing my own oil changes. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you very much for your help.. you have explained everything crystal clear!!👏👏👏
Thanks for this video. You’re the best!👍
Great video, clear and calm.
Supper oil change tutorial ,the best I have ever seen thank you for you attention to detail 5***** .
Great step by step video! Thank you!
Great video man, very clear and helpful. You made it look easy though lol, my filter housing was apparently wrenched on by a team of Icelandic strongmen because dang did it take some encouragement to come loose.
Excellent video and Pertinent information. Thank you very much
Great how-to video. I appreciate you.
If I would have done the oil change, I would have got oil all over the driveway. So I learned to put down some kind of tarp for the spills . Good video
Thanks for sharing!👍🏽👊🏽
Nice comprehensive how-to. I like the custom ramps.
Two 👍👍s UP!
Great video.
GREAT information thanks.
Very helpful video!!! Just did mines tonight 🎉
Well done! Thank you thank you!
So helpful .Thank you
Dear Lunar Taco brother!
You gave a very thorough guide of changing the oil and I am very grateful!
I will listen to your advice of changing the oil every 5K miles with only synthetic oil!
Thank you so much for your time Lunar Taco brother!
Good job; great video.
Thank you very much for your video explanation, you inspired me to do my own now, thanks again 👍🏻
Great video. Well done thank you
👍 Well done Sir
El mejor video de mantenimiento 🛻
Good video, well done.

Good Job on video, very well done.
Great video. Thank you
Great job on the video.
Great job!!!
your vdo is very good, and thank you for making tutorial
Thanks bro i own a 21 tacoma and to get it serviced I’ll be waiting months to get in. Decided to do it myself!
Excellent!
Solid oil change, nice Taco! Your video will make my first 5k oil change on my 2023 Taco Trd, a breeze!! *****
Just got mine last week. Love it!
@@robertwitkowski1650 Picked mine up last Friday Memorial Day weekend.
Thanks for the VID,
Great video👍🏼
Just bought a Tacoma and it's almost due for an oil change, so wanted to see how involved the process is.
Great video! Thank you!
Awesome video
I have watched this nearly 500 times. Thank you
I promise you I’m not tryna talk shit , but why have you watched this so many times lol . I’m just askin becuz I just got my license back and a new Tacoma (2017) and now getting around to the oil change that’s needed .I watched it twice and just needed a third time to walk myself thru the process pausing and playing as I go . Dude did a great video for sure but you saying nearly 500 times is crazy to me lol . Jus curious haha 😂
@@cdubw4921 I have the memory of a turtle, so repetition is key 😆 I've done countless oil changes on my other vehicles, but noticed the Tacoma had a slightly different setup.
Well done sir.
Great video. I like the idea of pouring some fresh oil in the filter housing. Good idea 👍🏻
10k miles for oil changes stated by Toyota, LMAO. They figure the engine will give out after the warranty is up. 5k miles is best for a long life engine.
Where does Toyota say that? My truck reminds me after 5k miles.
@@bramhickey8554The owners manual.
Pure synthetic is good for a long time, but I would aim for 6,000, not 10K.
3000 is better for a longer lasting engine and oil filter
I do mine every 3.5-5K miles
Great vid man
That filter housing works wonders!
Thank you.
Well done. And I agree with you. I do it every 5000 as well. And yes for sure full synthetic. Oils cheep, engine aren’t.
Thanks bro!
Good video 📷. thanks
Thank you for actually showing the turtle back for the oil drain plug
thanks for sharing tomb up 4 you.
THANKS. THANKS. AND THANKS. 👍 👍 👍
Good video. The oil that you drained out looks very clean to me.
Yeah it was break in oil that had 1100 miles.
Nice
Great and informative video thanks for sharing.
Awesome Vid! ...and you didn't skip anything (visually) like some vids do. And adding the Maintenance Reset was Money!!!
Thanks for an excellent educational video. The extra detail on resetting the maintenance interval was a big assist. Carry On Sir!
Been changing my oil on my 1999 4 Runner since I got it brand new. 350,000 miles later, my truck still runs like a champ!
Excelente trabajo
Great video man.
Attention to details and very well explained .
I agree with you that 10k miles is too late for oil change.
I was looking for a Lunar rock color Tacoma Off Road but could not find it in my area, End up buying a Celestial Silver Limited and i just love it.
Thanks for the video very helpful, I don't know if you have a video for transmission oil change? Thanks again
Nice ramps
Great video man. Great quality video. I heard u mention 2x12 but what lengths did u cut those piece. That ramp is genius
One thing I’ve learned I haven’t tried is to do your oil drain first before opening the oil cap and dip stick. That way it doesn’t drain fast right away and cause so much spillage. Once you have your bucket under and it’s pouring slowly then you know your good to go on opening up the oil cap and dip stick
It doesn't make a damned bit of difference with warmed up 0-20. It flows like water anyway.
I also have a Tacoma TRD Offroad 6 speed and a Acura RSX type S in my driveway!
Great video. A couple of questions though. Did you recheck the oil level once you were on a level surface? I also was not sure if all the used oil was removed since you were on the homemade ramps which are very cool.
Most of those plastic housing drain tools are threaded so you don’t have to hold it, don’t always work though, but the concept of what they do is great
Great video! That oil filter wrench made a huge difference for me.
What is the 17mm socket for? This was very well done. Camera work was superb. Very clear instructions. Very well done!
I’m really big on changing my own oil and have for many years. I own a 2021 Tacoma Off Road. With that said, the black oil filter housing was actually seized on mine. I took it to Valvoline to get them to remove it. They couldn’t get it off. I then had to take my truck to the dealership for them to remove. I did purchase an aluminum housing due to the prior plastic seized. Hopefully they can remove it. A Valvoline employee did say Toyota Tacoma’s have this problem many times. This should be a recall. I’m not gonna lie, I almost hurt myself trying to remove this black plastic housing and still couldn’t remove it.
Never buy a Toyota
Buy the Toyota OEM filter housing tool, it has the cut outs that slides into the filter housing for ease of use
Oh ty nice vedio I did my own oil changes for years and I also became a mechanic and worked on just about every kind of car since the late sixties. I never did my Taco before and I was surprised to see the old style of oil filter with the two rings lol. My Mercedes also has that type but it has 4 oil rings to change. These mfgs got to join the modern world.
Just bought a new 2023 Tacoma and looked at your video to help changing mine. I agree that 10k is way too long of an interval and like you I want to know it's done right. After the first oil change at 5k in my 19 Ranger I traded in on the Tacoma, I discovered a crack in the right rear taillight. I'm sure it was done at the dealership during the oil change in fact I wouldn't doubt they swapped my light and put a cracked one in it....I park my truck away from other vehicles at work and in my garage at night so unlikely it occurred anywhere but the dealership. The light had blind spot monitoring and cost $ 1,300.00, and just the lens could not be purchased. Lesson learned. .......check your vehicle thoroughly before and after having anyone take it out of your sight.
That's why I always do my own oil changes. Never know what clown they will get to work on your vehicle?
I have a 2012 rav4 limited v6 whoever changed the oil last torqued the shit of oil pan bolt and steel filter cover. The guy at the oil change place wasn’t sure if he wanted to keep trying to change the oil filter. They were both so tight.
I think the vehicle should be level position as possible . Good job
Great video man by far the best one out their. Quick?? Do you know part number or link to have a extra oil filter housing just in case the original cracks And will
The aluminum ones fit a 2022 Tacoma? 💯👈🏼
Some folks on TacomaWorld have done the swap and not having any issues. Here is the part # 15620-31060
Good info. The first thing you took off is a skid plate not a pan
Great video only thing dont contaminate filter on the concrete never know sand might catch on the bottom
Is it a blue crush washer? Also, do you know if it’s the same size as the one a 2022 Highlander takes? Bought 10 of them last I was in Toyota when I did my oil change for the highlander. Recently traded in for a 2023 Tacoma. Thanks
Wow. That’s the cleanest truck underside I’ve ever seen - other than new ones of course.
When I do the oil change on my 19 tacoma I just grap 5qts and then 1qts it just easier in my opinion
Thank you for the info how much money for the oil change filter n oil
Cant believe I haven't seen a comment about a keyed ignition.
Miss those.
One of my top 5 favorite features of the 6MT models. NOT a fan of key fobs - love the regular twist keys.
Been changing my Tacoma 2018 since new. I knew you were a smart guy when I saw the homemade stable wooden ramps. I noticed many if not all the Tacoma Gen 3 oil change videos are using sport models, not sure why. You will not find the drain plug so easily on an Off road model. There is a protective shield that kinda hides the plug. Also, I use two different sockets, you had a thrid size? Great video thanks.
I have a 2018 offroad as well...I'm about to do my first oil change (myself, not dealer) at 55k...that skid plate hopefully isn't too much of a pain to remove.
@@socaloutdoors7355 The skid plate is easy, three bolts right up front. What I'm talking about is a protective piece of metal that has a hole in it but allows access to the drain Plug. Nothing to do with the skid plate.
Nice video. Friggin weird filter setup. Don't understand why Toyota did this. Yet.
I 100% agree with you. My 2020 tacoma has this filter, and I hate it.
Can't get mine off. All clips broken.
I think when you check the oil level have the truck off your ramps and have it on a level yard surface.
2018,TRD sports…still changes mines @ 10,000… only because I only drive it to work which is 2 miles from home,around town….not much drive in it…but I luv the truck 🛻 13:15
So how many total quarts did you end up pouring in? Every time I change the oil in my Tacoma, I never seem to need more than 6 quarts before the dipstick looks good
