So i bought my tundra with 145000 miles on it. I dont know if the transmission fluid has ever been changed. Do i dare change it?

@ToolDemos Жыл бұрын

@@randyewell3788 fresh oil cannot damage a transmission. If the transmission slips after doing a fluid change, it’s because the new fluid has only exposed the damage that was already there. My recommendation for people in your situation is to replace the fluid, but also be prepared for a transmission rebuild before you do.

If I had found your video last week I could have learned how you use two thumbs to push in the plastic drain funnel that comes with each new cartridge and saved myself $14 for a brass oil drain tool that screws into the canister. For years at every oil change on our RV 4 I was struggling to overcome the spring tension on the canister and get that plastic thing to seat in the hole with just one hand. Nice innovation on your part. Thank you. The video you made is excellent as well.

Good video. I just bought a Tundra. I bought one of the motiv X wrenches and drain tubes for the filter. I didn't get the funnel but probably should have. I plan on doing oil analysis and only changing the filter every 5,000 miles or so. I will change the oil when the analysis says it needs to be changed. I've worked at places that do that with fleet trucks and sometimes they go 30,000 before dumping the oil. It seems to work fine because the trucks run well into the 200k miles without issues. One van used for commuting has over 500k miles and its still going.

Great video! I just recently did an oil change on my 2015 taurus sho and I used a torque limiting oil filter wrench from Klick Wrench in Canada. It both breaks loose and torque the filter down to around 18 torque and it fits a variety of filter sizes for either cartridge or spin on oil filters. They sell them online... all of their products were listed out of stock. But the largest one, the red one, was on amazon and I love using it. And their blue colored one is designed for toyota and other cartridge style that are smaller. I just like their products because filter install and removal is made so much easier and the quality is very top notch 👍

Why exactly 7.9 quarts of oil in after the oil change? The engine oil capacity I find online for a 2018 Toyota Tundra is 8.5 quarts.

@ToolDemos 2 жыл бұрын

You’re right about the capacity. I checked the book again, 7.9 quarts is shown for ‘without oil filter’. 8.5 is ‘with oil filter’. So, when I fill it with 7.9 quarts, it will show full on the stick until I start the engine. After running it, the level is in the center of the two lines. I’ve been leaving it there, thanks for the correction.

@daronfayas8145 2 жыл бұрын

@@ToolDemos Thank you, sir. I put just a tad over 8 qts in and started it up. I did a cold check a couple hours later and the the level was about 3/16" below the top mark. I'm putting in the last half quart of oil tomorrow. Actually, the oil level is now about where it was after 7500 miles but I'm quite sure it was on the top mark right after I did the last oil change 17 months ago and I did put 8.5 qrts in at that time. Thanks again for your extremely helpful tutorial.

@ToolDemos 2 жыл бұрын

Check the oil level with the engine off and the vehicle on level ground. The level should be between the two dots, but I like it to be closer to the upper dot. Whenever I check engine oil, I check it when it’s cold, just like tire pressure. If you check the oil when it’s hot it will show a little bit higher on the dipstick because oil expands when it’s hot.
