Went to a Toyota dealer one time for an oil change. After the oil change, I would hear a rubbing noise every once in a while. Went to another Toyota dealer to have a recall accomplished. Mentioned the noise. The dealer found a plastic oil container exactly where you put yours. Technician forgot to remove container after oil change.
Wife picked up truck, and when I got in it I noticed the noise, in this case the auxiliary belt has rubbed through the oil container and oil had sprayed on the engine. Last oil change at the dealer.
@@davidcarter6737 I took oil bottle to the dealer where I did the oil change. Come to find out, the technician knew he left the bottle under the oil filter right after I left and didn't tell anyone. Dealer could have called me and told me.
Noticed that the Mobil single quarts have a bigger size spout. I remember a mechanic cutting off the bottom and using it to be an old funnel and if I remember correctly, it screwed into the filler as well.
if you have the opportunity could you do videos doing the ball joints on these? . I know that is one of the things you need to watch out for on Toyota Trucks. Really enjoy your videos and all the good info.
Peter have you noticed on playback how now when you want focus the camera immediately focuses? I think the lighting now is much better than even the old shop because the camera likes it much better now after the skylight diffusion mod. Well done. 👏👏 Little cocky head tilt at the beginning haha. I think that means you are celebrating the win. You had thought you were defeated by the sun. Not today! Not with the Maintainence viewers working on your side!
Have a Gen 1 Tundra since new, that I've switched to full synthetic since I now do my own oil changes every 3-4K miles. (Very satisfying and done right, no stripped out screws on my baby's skid plate like dealer service did to it.). Question (for Peter?) is, do the OEM filters work as well with the synthetic as they did with the conventional type? Have to guess the OEM filters were designed to work with the conventional oil.... Thank you.
Most if not all oil filter threads find the OEM Toyota filters to be great filters, if not superior to most aftermarket- especially for the price. They are designed for your motor and at your intervals, you have nothing to worry about with an OEM filter. Side note- those 4.7 V8s will happily go 10k on a good synthetic. I've done it with mine with oil analysis and there are some that have taken it to even higher (19k I believe)
Hello Peter. I see you are using Kirkland (Costco) Brand 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil for this Taco. I assume you've had good success using this oil. I watched your video over two years ago where you debut and reviewed Costco Kirkland Full Synthetic Motor oil. Is the Kirkland Brand Full Synthetic Motor Oil any good?
Peter doesn't seem to reply very often. But since he used it before, and uses it now, I think we can presume that he finds it to be of excellent quality. Lookup Costco oil on the CZcams channel "Project Farm." He basically says that he thinks Costco, Walmart and Amazon's oil are the same oil in different packages, so whatever is cheapest is the choice. So...Costco for the win, assuming one is a member. Cheers!
@@brblum Thanks!! I will be trying the Costco Oil. I've been a Costco member for a number of years and I saw it in the warehouse and I will be grabbing me a box of them for three of my Toyota's.
@@brblum I would tend to agree they are the same although it's named Warren Distribution for a reason. The Distribution part would make sense in the part where we hear that some other companies might manufacture the oil if the refinery is closer to that part of the country rather than truck all the product that far.
Oil is oil and any manufactured for the US market will pass SP API ratings will do fine. Especially in the shorter Toyota rated intervals. Even the new ConocoPhillips/Union76 venture with marketing license Fram for Carquests/Advanced Auto providers. The only oils I would stay away from are the ones from the dollar stores that have no recognizable names. But buying a 5 qt jug at a big box retailer would make more sense and also be cheaper too!!
I got 12 OEM filters for $65.00 with shipping online from an authorized dealer. Mobil One synthetic from Walmart is$30.00. So $35.00 for a full synthetic oil change and I know I got the oil I want and a quality filter.
I had a 2009 Tacoma 4.0L PreRunner and put a Fumoto engine oil change valve on it. IMHO, best maintenance mod I performed. Made oil changes much easier.
I have the opposite problem on my 2RZ-fe. It's a 1997 Tacoma 2.4 L. I have foamy milkshake stuff in my radiator cap but no noticeable milkshake in my oil. I don't think the two are 2RZ-fe has a oil cooler. Any ideas?
Check if the coolant itself is a milkshake. Clean and see if it comes back after winter. It happens only when crank gases come in contact with coolant (or evaporated coolant). Worst case scenario crankcase gases are coming into contact with the coolant. Best case is the same here and just clean and not have to worry about any problems but keep an eye on it and the operation. Engine temps and such things. Make sure the coolant is not old or due for maintainence
@@LAactor in my case, the bright yellow foamy stuff can be cleaned up from under the radiator cap and it looks like liquid underneath. I recently noticed it was low enough to cause my heater to stop blowing hot air and added water. It burped some and started working. I got a CO tester and hope to test it on Sunday. I was hoping to figure it out before flushing.
Car Tap... I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 Double Cab with the 4.0L V6. I have over 113,000 miles on the clock. I still use 5W-30 motor oil with no issues. I bought the truck with a little over 40,000 miles on it back in 2015 and I started using Full Synthetic motor oil and I use either the OEM Toyota Oil filter or a TRD Oil filter. I hope that helps...
In the manual it will probably show you that 10w30 is only an option if the winter temps aren't so severe, but honestly 5w30 is just better at cold temp starts. And if it's Kirkland oil from Costco or Supertech from Walmart, it's good oil for probably the same price, so no compelling reason to opt for the 10w. Cheers!
Only use the weight specified on the filler cap. Don't change to a thicker oil, because the oil needs to flow easily when the engine is cold during the winter. You want pressurized oil getting to the bearings as fast as possible as soon as the engine starts running. Use the Toyota filters.
Except on start-up. Which could just indicate moisture in the crankcase and sump from short distance driving that doesn't burn off the moisture. The difference is the white smoke goes away for condensation and moisture. The coolant smoke is present throughout.
Who did you hear it from? A competitor maker fanboy? Then of course they'll say another brand will "suck." They could just be a small minded ignorant person of low knowledge as well and makes up for it by being loud. Deep snow/winter means dedicated snow tires and 4x4 and possibly, optionally, a better engine option. Like the guy above said. Your equipment for your conditions. By his definition he should think 2 wheel peel F-150's in all season touring rubbers would suck too. People like to talk. The few are giving valuable information are underappreciated.
Nah. I’ve been all over the high mountains of Colorado in my ‘13 Tacoma. Don’t even have off-road tires and it’s still a beast In the snow. Obviously it will spin and spin on deep frozen snowpack but what vehicle won’t
Lol... Toyota always makes good cars. Pandemic hit everyone hard, nothing is going to be as good when every system is stressed. Despite all of it however, their cars are still #1 in reliability
Toyota always likes to let the other automakers fail in their designs to be the first. Allow the Fix Or Repair Daily period to get manageable. First isn't the best. Then they will acquire one of them from the market, study it and make it better and more reliable and longer lasting. And don't forget Toyota was one of the first to have hybrid technology. Over 20 years worth. How long has Ford been working on theirs?
Toyota doesn't manufacture oil filters. Most of the Toyota OEM oil filters are made by Denso.
If you look closely in the video you can see the logo word Denso in small size near the baseplate of the filter too!
Denso also makes the OEM O2 sensors, and they are considered the best for Toyota. Peter approved!
Hi Peter, nice to see you got your hair under control

I was fortunate I went to Walmart and discovered Toyota brand oil filters on the Shelf I bought all three of them.
Literally this is was my exact experience lol. I was shocked to see them.
Hello, on the service schedule there is a maintenance item called "tightening chassis nuts and bolts". Could do a video tutorial about it this.
Noticed that the Mobil single quarts have a bigger size spout. I remember a mechanic cutting off the bottom and using it to be an old funnel and if I remember correctly, it screwed into the filler as well.
if you have the opportunity could you do videos doing the ball joints on these? . I know that is one of the things you need to watch out for on Toyota Trucks. Really enjoy your videos and all the good info.
I would love this as well. Getting ready to replace ball joints on my Taco
Me too
I had the yellow film on my oil filler cap for the FIRST oil change only.
Now thats how its done. Great job
Better than the Quickie Lube places by about 3,000%.
❤❤❤
Or Oil Stop. He hates that place.
Love the new shop

Loving your videos. You are a great mechanic, thank you for your advice; I just subscribed.
I have the 2tr-fe motor and the manufacturer recommended 20w oil

WOW very kool great info.,,1st class AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot keep up the great work.
For my 2011 tundra I always have to remove the pain in the backside skil plate .
Get a Fumoto valve, friend! Between that and an aftermarket engine skid (RCI) I don't have to drop skids to change oil.
I have the opposite problem on my 2RZ-fe. It's a 1997 Tacoma 2.4 L. I have foamy milkshake stuff in my radiator cap but no noticeable milkshake in my oil. I don't think the two are 2RZ-fe has a oil cooler. Any ideas?

Petr do you use BG MOA?
Peter do I always have to stay at 5w30 for this engine ? Or after 100k miles do I have to up it to 10w30?

Looks like he never went in for the leaf spring recall. Should be 4 springs instead of 3.
Prior milkshake cap video: Don't freak out! czcams.com/video/IYZt0Wq9Vos/video.html
if you have milkshake in the oil cap just replace the PCV valve ...unbelievable this mechanic dont know that
If excessive amount of white smoke its coming out through tail pipe , that's another sign of blown head gasket ...
Except on start-up. Which could just indicate moisture in the crankcase and sump from short distance driving that doesn't burn off the moisture. The difference is the white smoke goes away for condensation and moisture. The coolant smoke is present throughout.
I heard Toyota Tacoma suck in the deep snow and winter. Is it true?
Just like any other car, if it's not properly equipped, it's going to suck.
