Tacomaholic...Let me tell you how useful your video is. I've got a 2010 TRD Taco with about 178,000 miles. Been changing my own oil for quite a while now and I refer to your video every single time before I start. Why you ask? Because I have to do mine in the street as my driveway it too steep. Meaning once I'm down there, I'm bound to forget something and have to rush up to the garage. Your vid keeps me in check. I too use a gatorade bottle to collect the bit of oil from the filter drain and it works perfectly. Very little mess. Thank you for posting the video and cheers on behalf of all Taco owners! If it's helpful to anyone, I take my used oil to the dump in my town. They have a large container you can pour it into so you know it's going to the proper place.

And get a needle grease fitting for your grease gun then you can get everything greased , even between your leaf springs , I even did my CV axle boots .

Hi, I was wondering if you could offer me any advice, I have a 2010 tacoma trd sport with very low mileage (only 67,000 miles ), I’m the original owner . I just got it back from a big reputable dealership where they replaced the frame , they had it for three months and supplied me with a rental for the entire time, I’m really happy with the job, and the fact that they didn’t try to upsell me on anything . My issue however is my engine looks like something that came out of a junk yard , I’m not positive but I think they may have swapped out my engine , it could be all just in my mind but I don’t remember the motor being all pitted and rusty , ( I wish I had taken pictures of the motor before I brought it in ) I did crawl under and I got the serial number off the casing it’s 1GR followed by seven digits ( all of which don’t come close to my vehicle vin number )… do you know if these numbers are supposed to match ( maybe the last four digits ) or if there’s any way I could tell if the motor was swapped out . I love this truck and planned on keeping it another decade or two but now I’m wondering if I’m driving around with a 300,000 mile junk yard motor in it . I tried four wheel drive and it took a long time for it to come out and when it did and I put it in drive it made a loud banging noise ( it never did that before )

Hey Holic, it’s the 20 min from Sleepy Creek guy. Would you happen to know where I can get my truck dyno tuned in our area? I have a full exhaust and snorkel to put on and I don’t wanna do it until I can get a tune to match. I would’ve asked you on TW, but I don’t know how to send you a message

Hey buddy! The northern Virginia user on Tacomaworld named doublld probably knows a good place to get dyno'd. What's your Tacomaworld username? I'll start a conversation with all 3 of us.

Yes the washer comes attached to the fumoto and you can see it at 7:13 in the video. It's sort of light blue colored.

Tacomaholic yeah I just saw that some words were misspelled so I see how confusing reading that might of been lol but yeah that nipple drain is plugged up by dry mud lol so idk what should I use to clean it out?

@Tacomaholic 6 жыл бұрын

Get some kind of fast food plastic cup and punch a few holes through it, attach a small bungee cord to it and fasten it around your filter so the cup is beneath it to catch all the spilled oil. Cleaning the dirt out from the drain hole should be easy with a pipe cleaner or something like that.

How often do you change your oil on a Tacoma

@Tacomaholic 5 жыл бұрын

Depends on the oil you are using. If using full synthetic I change it every 7-8k but for regular conventional oil I'd say every 3-5k.

The only plus side to going to a Yoda dealer for an oil change is the multi-point inspection report.

True. I have a suspicion they weren't giving me the synthetic oil I was paying for. I've started doing my own servicing now, just did engine and rear diff (thanks to @Tacomaholic for the super informational videos!)

I hate how I really have a hard time reading where my oil is at with the dip stick. I have to be doing more than 5 rechecks to be able to see a visible read… any trick??

You could lightly sand the area between the marker dots so the oil sticks better in that area.

Make sure you check your oil level when getting the dealership to do it! The dealership and any lube place will always give you a giant list of other maintenance items that they can bill you for while you are there for a simple oil change.

The 4.o u should use motor oil not synthetic oil.if u use synthetic oil u more then likely will notice a oil leak on the oil pan gasket. Most of the time the front or rear of the oil pan gasket will start leaking.
