Just did my oil change for the first time on my 2012 Tacoma. Very helpful info although I did make a huge mess but it’s worth not spending 100 bucks for a station to change mine.
Thanks for your guide to change oil filter and oil. Your video helped me with fast and easy change. I would have spent over $100 with a discount. It cost me less than $50 with tax buying synthetic oil of name brand and original toyota oil filter with oil catch pan, oil funnel and it only took me 1 hour of work. Next time it will cost me less than $40 because I just need to buy oil and oil filter. Thank you this help me a lot.
If you need to change the oil, or any part for that matter, please use genuine Toyota parts, unless your getting rid of the vehicle. I'm sure the extra 1$ for the blue Toyota sump plug gasket and an extra $3 for the oil filter won't break the bank. Look after your vehicle and the vehicle will look after you.
Lisle 63600 oil filter tool works the best in my opinion for that hard to reach filter. I use a 1/2" ratchet with a long 8+" wobble extension and a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter. It spins the filter off easily.
Just ordered one of these oil filter tools. I'm guessing given how deep into the engine compartment the filter is this makes it much easier to remove. We'll see.
I can never read the dipstick on these 2tr fe. Always has a smear of oil on it. I have already sanded the area between the two dots but still hard to read.
Take it out, wipe it off and leave it out for five minutes. Then put it back in and pull it out. It will allow the oil in the dipstick tube to drain so you can get an accurate measurement.
Thank you for your video. After the engine oil completed drained, how much oil left when you change the oil filter (I saw the other video by someone let too much oil dripped)?
I fill the filter with oil before installing it since it is in the vertical position. I figure the engine isn't running dry while it fills with oil then.
My understanding is if you accidentally get something in that oil you've pre-loaded it goes straight into the engine because that side is post filtration.
@@neilharvey94 I disagree. I'm not grinding into open containers or anything so the oil is clean as it gets. Prefilling is about 4 seconds the engine is not dry running.
One arm tight would be fine. But if you NEED a torque spec 11 ftlb is a good bet. I use Toyota installers for the service manual stuff but it isn't available to the public. Try getting a Haynes manual. Thanks for watching!
You can but it doesn't do anything. Just imagine a water bottle turn it upside down and take the cap off. Same thing on an engine. Again you can. But it fills under a second. Thanks for watching!
amazes me... first thing i do is loosen oil cap which allows free flow
just the way i was taught
Take a water bottle remove the lid and turn it upside down. Observe the results. Thanks for watching!
I also always recommend using Toyota parts on your Toyota engine. On my Toyota engine I use Bosch filters. Do as I say not as I do.

OEM oil filter for all 235K miles of my Tacoma, 6 quarts 0W-30 Mobil 1. Drives like new.
Great video. Short, well explained and to the point. Thank you.
it helps to slip a plastic bag over the old filter once loosened a bit and spin it off in the bag less mess

@@neilharvey94 I still have the truck and still use the oil filter tool. I think you'll like it.
ive seen some people say it takes 5.5, 5.8 quarts and even 6.1
Automatics use 6.1 qts with filter change
The OE Toyota oil filter has great filtration. I am personally considering a Fumoto valve for the pan.
Where do you get those kinds of drain plug washers?
This video seems really helpful , doing mine for the first time today but can't seem to get the oil plug loose
You can do it!

I love Toyota Engines
Some of the best! Thanks for watching!

Like k&n oil filters or amsoil
Check the threaded portion of the mount.

@@neilharvey94 It's new oil right out of the bottle.
@@foxlake02 Unless you don't notice something fall into it. Better to not pre-fill.

Oil filter is in the worst possible place
5 speed manuals calls for 6.1 qts with filter change
That's true.
True
You should do now the spark plugs change for Toyota Tacoma 2.7!
This is my buddy's Aunt's truck so I'm sure we will do the plugs at some point. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get those drain plugs?
hello🙂 have you found the torque spec for the oil drain plug ? also where can I get a service manual for the 2trfe please?

Isn’t it good to take off the oil fill cap before draining the oil out? I also fill my new filter with oil before I put it on. Thoughts?
You can but it doesn't do anything. Just imagine a water bottle turn it upside down and take the cap off. Same thing on an engine. Again you can. But it fills under a second. Thanks for watching!
Hi, whats the part number for the oil filter washer?
The filter should always comes with a gasket.
Toyota Tacoma models (2018-2010) 2.7 liter engines require 6.2 quarts of oil. Just as an update. :)
I just added the 5.5 quarts but the oil dipstick is so hard to see
Should be good to go since thats the capacity.
@@2carpros Thanks, dumb question , so you cannot overfill it?
@@TvaloneCC Yeah you can, so be careful. Start with 5.5 the capacity is actually 5.8 but its super easy to add and really tough to take out.
Video very nice. Can you add Vietnamese subtitles?
Thank you for watching! Sadly I can only speak English and French.
@@2carpros thanks
Can you change the oil without a lift?
Yeah definitely! Either crawl under there or get a jack and stands. Thanks for watching!
I can’t find it
What viscosity oil did you use
5:13 Thanks for watching!
Sorry, I made a "typo" it should read (2018 - 2020) model years. My bad.
Good job
A real mechanic will tell you not to use those rags 🫡🫡🫡
