Like the tutorial. I also like how you didn't cut out any glitches or mistakes. You definitely got my respect. Awesome video bro! Will be doing the same shortly
@@92813justin Exactly. No ones perfect. Definitely have a supporter over here. I have a 2020 Sport 4x4 and I said let me look up realistic tutorials. Not the 3-5 min edited videos of perfection.
I like this video. I'm changing mine for the first time tonight and I was sick of seeing these videos that were 20 minutes of useless stuff. This was to the point and showed exactly how it's supposed to be done. Appreciate the insight. This is the first time I've had to change oil on a vehicle that has a filter like this so I'm glad I researched it a bit
Very good video, gave me the incentive to change my own oil. I'll add a couple tips from my experience. 1. When my neighbor saw the 3-foot circle of splashed oil mine splashed like yours - 0W20 is almost like water), he suggested to use a tall bucket, tip it to the side, and then stick it right under once the bolt is free. Years ago I bought a couple of those gizmos that replace the bolt, have a cap that screws on, and at oil change time you take the cap off and then screw on a gizmo with a bump in the middle that, after it's threaded half way on, pushes in a spring-loaded stopper inside the gizmo attached in place of the bolt that lets the oil flow down a hose. Long explanation, but I might give that a try next time. 2. Eighteen foot pounds on the oil filter housing ) is basically hand tight. I didn't hear the click on my torque wrench and kept going and had a horrible time trying to get that housing back off to reset it to eighteen pounds. I broke the filter wrench at the socket it was on their so hard. There are movies on youtube by mechanics showing how to get Toyota oil filter housings off, so apparently it is not uncommon. So beware: don't over tighten the oil filter housing more than just more than hand tight or your fairly quick oil change turns into a whole afternoon project. 3. The skid plate bolts in the front are tricky on a 2020 Tacoma as they are up under the plastic lower bumper. I would suggest using a long extension and pulling the plastic bumper down to get access. Otherwise it is a job to get those front bolts in to replace the skid plate. I've subscribed now and look forward to more of your videos.
You must have pre loosened that oil filter cassette before you made this video, that came off way TOO easy. It took two people to get mine off. We had an 18" breaker bar plus a 24" cheater, with one person hitting the cassette removal tool, fairley hard with a large hammer . . . . . . . .we also had a bottle jack pushing up on the cassette removal tool so it could not slip off. With all that, . . . . . . . it was all I could do to break it loose, and I bench 345 pounds. I think you do your viewers a great disservice by making it look so easy. I have always changed oil in every car, truck and Harley I have owned, and I have never seen one this difficult. I thought that I was going to find it cross threaded, but it was not. This cassette oil filter was a really bad idea THX Toyota!
For my DIY oil change, I use à deep drain pan with a drain spout, to prevent that over splash problem. After the oil change, I use à funnel and fill saved milk bottles and take for Recycling at O' Rielly. I like to use Amsoil. I rotate the tires every oil change 5k.
When you cleaned off the drain plug, you used non-chlorinated brake cleaner which is ok to use near plastic trim. But if it was conventional Brakleen, that overspray from spraying that close to the grill would be no bueno.👍🏼
The filter housing is filled rather quickly upon cranking the engine. Its not necessary although it wont be hurting anything doing so. I woked at a lube shop and many makes and models have the oil filter in a location where the oil would just pour back out
I just did my 2nd oil change in my 22 trd tacoma. It's a horrible design for driveway maintenance. I have a spin on filter adapter on order, im done with the 1970's German style cartridge oil filter.
Dude, thx so much for this vid! Been changing oil on my cars since I was old enough to drive. Never thought I’d have to refer to a CZcams vid to learn how to change the oil on my new Tacoma! But at least we can. Cars will be all electric soon enough and then we’ll all be at the mercy of the dealerships😳
Going around thanking all these videos from different people for helping me learn this. Yeah I got that same junk oil pan cuz that’s all that’s available cost wise.
Good job. Using torque wrench and giving the torque specs is a plus. A person would have to be a bit anal to find fault with anything you did. However, if you read the instructions on the box that your oil filter came in, they say not to use a tool to remove the o-rings. The concern is after multiple oil changes the groove where the o-ring goes could become damaged. Probably won't be a problem but worth mentioning that care should be taken. The only other thing that was inaccurate was the mention you made of there being one quart difference between the two marks on the dip-stick. Actually, there is at least 1.6 quarts difference and possibly 1.8 quarts. You should find that information in your owner's manual. And we all know you didn't mean "from empty to full". Those marks represent the minimum safe amount of oil and the maximum safe amount.
JackTannehillPromoter, thanks Jack for all of the positive feedback. I worked at an oil change shop for a year and they told us it was about a quart or so across all vehicles. Thanks for the specific range from the low to high range on the dip stick. I’ll also remove my o-ring with my fingers as well. That seems like a very small chance but I do not want to take any chances.
for anyone prepping to do this, I'd suggest having a larger 1/2" breaker bar and a 24 mm socket for the oil filter housing because those things can be over torqued by the dealership, at least mine was. this was the solution I'd found on tacoma world, if anyone runs into a similar thing
My truck also has that plastic canister on it. First rig I've had that has one. Every other one I had was the standard metal canister with the filter already installed. There is an OEM aluminum drop in I might pick up to swap out the plastic one.
Thank you for walking us through the oil change. The video is very helpful. I noticed there is metal dust on the end of the dipstick at 12:34. My tacoma has the same issue. It appears to be from scraping the dipstick tube. Hoping it won't cause a problem.
@@92813justin I have always noticed the metal dust on the end of the dipstick of my 2019 Tacoma. I was concerned metal was coming from the engine so I took it to the dealer but they had no answers. I realized that it is coming from scraping the dipstick tube when there was metal dust just by pushing the dipstick half way into the tube. After watching your video I changed the oil and saw metal dust (not a lot, but I would rather not see any) in the filter canister. I really don't like the idea of that metal in the oil. In my opinion the dipstick tubes should be made from a better metal. Thank you for your reply. I am just wondering if other people are concerned about it.
To reduce oil on your hands when removing oil plug, stick a shopvac hose on your engine oil cap and turn on prior to removing plug. When plug is removed, turn off shopvac.
@@bigdavedayday1581 that’s the way to do it!! Let gravity do the heavy lifting for you!! One thing I can think of to avoid, remove any beverages and loose change from the truck prior to flipping it over. No one wants a crappy soda mess in their vehicle!!
12:33 what are the metal shavings on the oil dipstick I saw that on mine the other day and am freaking out mines got 90k miles, oil looked good and the filter was clean I read on tacoma world that it could be from the dipstick scratching the oil dipstick tube but am not sure about that 🤔 great video
Good video, you showed us step by step right to the point, your mistakes because of course nobody is perfect and the torque specs, people have told me its a bitch to change the oil but you made it plain n simple...
That oil splashing out happened to me the first time. I bought a fumoto oil drain valve so I can open it half way so it comes out slower. Worked great.
Ehhhh I know it's probably 0.0001% change that valve would ever fail and the drain location is located in a pretty save spot, however a bolt is safer especially if your off roading. Another point of potential failure (albeit probably next to none) I'm sure there has been freak accidents with thoes valves!
@@jmabs5096 I’ve done a lot of research and haven’t found one person saying it failed. I do carry oil and coolant with me. Along with the original plug just Incase. I don’t even have to Jack it up to reach it.
@@tsjuno yea it's probably only happens a few times or maybe 100s but people simply don't put anything online about it. I really don't see the point other than saving what... 5 seconds to undo the bolt? Like I said it's probably miniscule to non but as an offroader, stuff has got wedged in places I didn't expect!
Enjoyed your video first one I saw describe how to reset the dashboard, thanks. I did an oil change yesterday on my 2018 OR Tacoma, the area around the drain plug looks NOTHING like the view of your clearly visible drain plug at 1:40 , what's up? Is it the difference between Sport and Off Road? Mine has a sheet of metal over the area with a small hole I can just reach my hand up into to reach the plug, I cannot see the plug, just had to feel for it.
I liked your video, I have a 2021 Tacoma and I dislike the canister oil filter . I think Toyota did that just to discourage us from changing our on oil , they want to marry us to the dealer.
Amazes me that vids I been watching on tacomas & camrys say to use 6.2 quarts of oil on the 3.5 ltr motors well for what ever reason it shows 5 quarts to the full mark?
Greetings, 👋🏼 I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma SR5 truck and I wanted to know what should I change if my vehicle has 37,776 and havent changed anything yet and it's a used vehicle from a used dealership? And I found out they didn't do the transmission oil change. The only thing I changed was the airfilter and oil change at the Toyota dealership.
After worrying about the fel pro gasket I decided to go to the dealer and got 10 oil plug gaskets. Actually received 13 plus a 20 percent "happy discount" . managed to swap the gasket out and only lost a half cup of oil in the process. My worries were correct. It was distorted internal diameter which could be a problem in the future
Thank you for acting getting a good view of what you're doing. So many viedos just say what to do but you can't see it. So again thank you for putting in the effort.
You should pour about, in this case, a cup of oil into the newly installed oil filter (and oil filter housing). This prevents a dry start of the engine after you're done with the oil change. Notice how in any oil change for any car, the old oil filter is full of oil. Installing a new, dry filter is bad.
Oil filter cap said torque to 25NM which is about 18.4 ft lbs and i was torquing and it seemed a bit execssive. I backed it off and tightened it till it stopped and called it good. Also 30 ft lbs on the drain plug squishes down the gasket quite a bit. Is that normal. I used a fel pro gasket for Toyota
Why don’t you prep the oil filter with new oil like you would any old car? I just put 30k on my 2020 Tacoma.. but am used to changing my oil in a ‘98 4Runner
For anyone doing this some of y’all might have an extra skid plate over the oil pan. It threw me off at first and I think I almost drained the transmission fluid lol
Great video man and very helpful tutorial! Quick question for ya. What is the torque wrench you’re using in the video? I don’t have one and was curious what you were using in this video. Thank you! -Adam
@@92813justin it looks like this torque wrench is 20-150 ft-lbs. How do you torque oil filter cap (18 ft-lbs) and oil filter cap drain plug (10 ft-lbs)?
@@user-zy4cq6vo3q You will have to use a smaller torque wrench. I really like this one, it has a very nice click to it for all of your small torques, please note the 1/4" torque wrench is in in-lbs, amzn.to/3VZnEMZ
Hot oil. Why? If the oil is hot most likely the pipes underneath are hot. Run the vehicle a minute or so that will get the oil wsrm enough to flow out just fine. Take off the oil filler cap before you remove the oil pan plug. That will let the air flow through the system and help the oil drain much easier.always place some cardboard under the car so you don’t get oil all over your driveway. A piece of old rug will work great to. You can find these in the trash.
I did my 23 at 100 miles because the dipstick was hard to read clean, but it seemed high. It was overfilled around 30oz from the factory. Has anybody ever heard of that happening?
LOL the drain plug drop followed by the oil splashing out was awesome
Right?!
@@92813justin well it did
Lol fr. Wen he said his oil was hot i was like oh oh.. that 0w20 boutta splaaash 😂
If you pay someone to change your oil, they will put one quart of old oil back in it and keep the money for their own pocket
Shit happens to me. Nothing pisses me off more than fuckin oil on my concrete

Why not be extra thorough? The cost is a fraction of a dollar, takes seconds and you know it’s good and clean.

Thank you Noe
Removing the oil drain plug. Like a cow pissing on a flat rock. Same thing happened to me the first time I changed the oil. :-))

I replaced my drain plug with a Fumoto drain valve and so far I really like the convenience .
That sound pretty nice!

Where did you get that oil filter drain cap?
For the oil and OEM filter. You can get it from the Toyota dealership correct?
If you leave dip stick in and oil cap on until after you've removed the drain plug, it may slightly slow the flow.

Make sure you seat the small o-ring in the groove. If you just put it on the threaded retainer flange it may not seal properly. Otherwise, good video.

Notice how in any oil change for any car, the old oil filter is full of oil. Installing a new, dry filter is bad.
Been changing oil myself for nearly 40 years and I've never done that and never had any issues! I must be just lucky huh?
I’ve got the same oil catch pan and it always splashes out when I change my oil like it did for you. My driveway looks like a rainbow after

Just an FYI there's a special oil filter puller for the cover I got confused until I looked at your Amazon list
Here is the new one I acutually use that is incredible, Oil filter wrench: amzn.to/3H4UTsK
those look like nice skid plates for the front cross members, what brand are they?
Great vid. But where does the smaller o ring go?
Oil filter cap said torque to 25NM which is about 18.4 ft lbs and i was torquing and it seemed a bit execssive. I backed it off and tightened it till it stopped and called it good. Also 30 ft lbs on the drain plug squishes down the gasket quite a bit. Is that normal. I used a fel pro gasket for Toyota
Thanks for this. Definitely helpful!
No problem!
Nice video but please be thorough and include the fact that you have to takeoff the second plate in the back to access the oil pan
When torquing the oil filter cap what size socket to use on that?
I usually gotta put 6 quarts and another 6 ounces in 2019. Reading a dipstick with 0-20 oil is like reading water. Pain in my ass
So much easier on the 2nd gen.
Even easier on my lawnmower
How much did you tie the nut back, 30 foot/lb? Do you need to install a small rubber ring?
14mm is the only one I need. Thxs
Will the oil filter wrench cap you provided in the description be compatible with my 2022 Toyota Tacoma?
Yes it will
If the a strong wind blew underneath the truck while you were change oil. I think you could get some oil spill on your face. It happened to me once.
Great vid
Awesome help. Thanks
What Lift do you have on that please? Looks good.

Where did you buy the oil
Hey man idk why but all those eBay link of the stuff you produce does not work at all
Spot on with the oil change!! 👏🏼🙌🏼 great job!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video😇
What did you spray on the oil filter?
Hey buds I don’t know if I’m wrong or you’re wrong but the Toyota Tacoma takes 6.2 quarts for the 3.5 engine
Yes, that is about right for me as well
Why don’t you prep the oil filter with new oil like you would any old car? I just put 30k on my 2020 Tacoma.. but am used to changing my oil in a ‘98 4Runner
You could, the point 2 seconds is not a big deal. What really matters is changing it every 5k miles
I can’t get that metal cap that is holding the filter. Every time I try and get it off takes the whole filter.
Where do u get lil device that helped u drain the oil where the filtro goes the nobel looking thing

Bro what’s the tools you use.
Fun fact 😂 since I’m worried about spilling oil. Lost almost a quart with the drain spray 😂🤦🏼♂️
For anyone doing this some of y’all might have an extra skid plate over the oil pan. It threw me off at first and I think I almost drained the transmission fluid lol
Great video man and very helpful tutorial! Quick question for ya. What is the torque wrench you’re using in the video? I don’t have one and was curious what you were using in this video. Thank you! -Adam
I use the Crasftman torque wrench. Here is the exact model I use: amzn.to/2O2pkrN
@@92813justin it looks like this torque wrench is 20-150 ft-lbs. How do you torque oil filter cap (18 ft-lbs) and oil filter cap drain plug (10 ft-lbs)?
@@user-zy4cq6vo3q You will have to use a smaller torque wrench. I really like this one, it has a very nice click to it for all of your small torques, please note the 1/4" torque wrench is in in-lbs,

Hot oil. Why? If the oil is hot most likely the pipes underneath are hot. Run the vehicle a minute or so that will get the oil wsrm enough to flow out just fine. Take off the oil filler cap before you remove the oil pan plug. That will let the air flow through the system and help the oil drain much easier.always place some cardboard under the car so you don’t get oil all over your driveway. A piece of old rug will work great to. You can find these in the trash.
I did my 23 at 100 miles because the dipstick was hard to read clean, but it seemed high. It was overfilled around 30oz from the factory. Has anybody ever heard of that happening?
I have no idea why anybody uses that drain pan. I've never seen a video where it didn't splash all over the place.
This might be the messiest Tacoma oil change on YT
Doesn’t the oil change call for 6.2 quarts of oil?
Also clean the inside filter area if you see there is a lot of metal in side . With carburetor cleaner
Great point!
