Here is a link to the ones I purchased on Amazon. amzn.to/3VRqkja
How to easily change the oil on a 2010-2017 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The change interval is 10,000 miles per Toyota but I would change it well before that. To reset the FJ Cruiser maintenance light you simply hold down the odometer button with the vehicle off and then put the vehicle in ignition mode and watch it count down the dashes until they're gone.
Tools and materials:
-3/8 socket wrench and short to medium extension
-14mm socket for drain plug
-12mm socket for skid plate and oil drain plug cover
Oil filter Toyota part number 04152-YZZA5 or DENSO 150-3020, Fram CH10158, Fram TG10158
- Oil type and amount: 6.4 quarts of 0w20 full synthetic oil
- Toyota Oil filter housing tool/wrench, look for one that is 64.5mm x 14 Flutes
- funnel
- helpful materials: shop rags or paper towels, latex gloves, something to lay on, and a small empty cardboard box

On my 2013 FJ, there is a clip on the oil filter housing that needs to be removed before removing the housing.

Thanks for the tip. So I think that is on the 2013-14s.

Thank you for the detailed video. I just spent $160 on my synthetic oil change for the 2011 fj cruiser, and I by no means want to pay that every time with how much I’m driving.

You are welcome! Keep that FJ!

Great video, you basically just walked me through my oil change. I agree on the damn filter. Too messy

Thanks! The funny thing is, I refer to my own video as well before each oil change. Especially for the tool socket sizes. Keep that FJ going and maybe I'll wave to you on the road someday.

The amazon basics oil passed the viscosity test over many of the leading manufacturers. It's all I used after watching it slaughter the top brands in most categories.

I would just add, if you keep your funnel in your garage, wash it out before using it to fill engine oil. It will collect some nasty stuff over time.

Awesome, looks super easy until the bolts on your skid plate are rusted and rounded 😓

They are ready to strip too so use hand tools only. I had to upsize one of mine after I stripped it.

I haven’t changed my oil in such a long time. Back then we would take the old oil to a gas station to dump. Where do you go to get rid of that old oil?

A lot of places that sell oil will take your recycled oil for free. Walmart, any of them with an automotive center, will take your oil.

The big-chain auto parts stores accept used oil. just call first as I have showed up and their tank was full so that one time they couldn't accept any.
