Just did my first oil change on my '24 Tacoma last week, was trying to get it done at 1000, but ended up closer to 1500, still better than the manufacturer suggestion of 10,000 miles... sheesh.

When doing oil change on any of my vehicles, I always leave the oil fill cap on to prevent exactly your situation. Once it gets flowing, then get up and take oil fill cap off.👍🏻 Nice Tacoma.

Brother this is too good! 💪 I LOVE IT. Beautiful sport in the BEST color!

Honestly I think your oil change filter is one of the better ones out there because your “mistakes” will help everyone learn. I think you did great.

That underground color is sick!

You're doing the right thing, in between 500 to 1k miles it's a good timing 👌.

so much for the “less mess drain pan” :-)

Got a good laugh, thanks for sharing the spill! Love your truck, the BEST color.

Interesting. Haven't seen an oil change done on the new 24 tacoma yet.

happy to see they are still using a spin on filter.

Yah… the same happened to me with this oil drain… just splashing around everywhere! Note… for your next change… get oil absorbing pads & place them everywhere!

Scrab 2-by lumber can work as wheel chocks. Also, if you don’t have jack stands, shove a stack of lumber under there in case one of those black plastic ramps collapses

You’re the 1st one to do an oil change video on the new Tacoma, thanks! You learn stuff the first couple times you change it. Please go to Harbor Freight & buy a 3/8 torque wrench so you can use the correct 14mm socket. A 1/2 torque wrench is more for torquing wheel lug nuts. That part hurt my ocd more than the oil mess. 😂

FU**ing OIl everywhere! That was a surprising oil deluge. I wonder if keeping the oil cover on would make the stream tamer and more manageable. Thank you for the insight and sharing.

You were right about the oil draining being hilarious, I've been there too. Good video, very enjoyable.

I think you're doing the right thing changing at 1000. Thanks for the video.

I did my first change a few weeks ago at about 750 miles lol. I was actually considering trying to make a video like this because there was nothing on KZfaq at the time. Kudos for actually pulling it off. Almost the same exact thing happened to me with the mess! I even left my cap and dipstick on to try and give myself a chance at not making a mess, but nope, it still shot outta there like a stream of hot piss 😂. Next time I’ll have a funnel ready to catch it!

Wonder why they changed back to a normal oil filter........ Is there a difference in performance?

Thanks for the video. I have my stuff ready to go for my 5000 oil change. The filter I have is really small but is the same one you used. That oil came out with some force! I may put some paper towels in my pan to reduce splash.

Splashing happened to me too. The fucking oil is like water so next time I am not even warming it up for long (maybe a minute or 2)

use a short piece 1.5 " pvc pipe shorter that actual measurement will help alot.

Beautiful truck. How much did you pay for it?

Is the oil drain plug higher than the bottom of the pan ?

What is the torque spec of the skid plate bolts?

THAT was a drain - Niagara Falls! Beautiful sight seeing spin on filters used again on Tacomas (judicious cardboard use). Good luck w/ the rest of the issues popping up for the new design (and better luck than the Tundra! - wow - what dumpster fire they are having)

That mess you made, is how all my tacoma oil changes go and somehow it gets more messy after each oil change for me

4:50 that oil pan that drain sit a bit higher than the lower part of the pan. Looks like still hold about 1.5qtz of used oil in. Could be wrong I don’t know. Others that that did a great job.

You did the correct thing by changing the oil/filter, this flushes out most of the break in that's floating around. 600-1K miles is when to do it. Toyota says 10k miles ? they are on drugs.. Never go beyond 5k miles, period. engine longevity is a Important thing, vehicles and parts cost to damn much money. Turbo engines run hotter so changing oil every 4k -5k is best.

First Oil change video for a 24 Tacoma yes

Well.said!

3rd gen does the same exact thing, shoots out like cannon. Fucking nightmare.

Thanks!

Mobil 1 would serve that Tacoma right

I have never "Primed" an oil filter before by filling it up. Only put oil on the gasket. Is this something new?

Looks good to me.

Good stuff!! Just get you an anti splash pad for your drain pan.

I’d do the first change almost immediately. Definitely before 50 miles.

Its not just you i watched this video and had oil splashed all over me too... And i need ladder to reach my oil cap lol. Next time u may try lifting a but less or just not jack it up ..

Less Mess Drain Pan.................lol

Hi this is Ivy from Muslogy. I LOVE your KZfaq videos so much! They are impressive. Recently we are working on the products for 2024 Tacoma like armrest cover, console organizer, door handle storage box. Wondering if there is an opportunity to collaborate with you to make product review😊

shouldn't the car still be under warranty so why not get it done free at the dealer?

Car care nut is awesome! and yes the break in oil change for a brand new car?truck. is between 500-750 miles. so glad toyota went back to spin on filters, kool!

Nice video, It just made me cringe every time you called your truck a car. It’s not a car. It’s a truck. You must not be a truck guy.

nice DIY video. I recommend a Fumoto oil drain valve. A clean drip free oil change.
