Last time I was at the stealership they quoted me $65 to replace the cabin filter. I politely said "f that" I'll do it myself. LOL

I don’t know who needs to know this but I’ve came back to this video 5 different times just to get torque specs because it’s SO DETAILED with info. Thank you

My dealership did replace my cabin air filter at my 20k Toyota care oil change. They also had me coming in at 5k for my oil change intervals even though the book says 10k. I was impressed. All covered by Toyota care. 2023 Tacoma.

Very clearly laid out guide! Every new owner should watch this

for anyone prepping to do this, I'd suggest having a larger 1/2" breaker bar and a 24 mm socket for the oil filter housing because those things can be over torqued by the dealership, at least mine was. this was the solution I'd found on tacoma world, if anyone runs into a similar thing

I truly enjoyed this video along with the bloopers. I hate it when videos are made and they remove any incident that may happen (Oil catcher). Thanks for sharing Sir.

Great video, I'm 64 years old, and I only rotated tires on one car out of the Many cars and trucks I have had over my lifetime. What I found out is yes it made them wear the same, but it wore out all of them at the same time, so I never rotate tires anymore, why? Because I don't want to have to buy but 2 tires at the same time rather than all 4, It's a lot cheaper to buy 2 tires over 4 or even 5. I don't believe you get more life out of your tires by rotating, but you do get more life out of the set that way because the back usually wears out faster if you have rear-wheel drive and spin your tires when you take off or the front if you have front-wheel drive. And I never included my spare tire in the rotation, which honestly is probably a good idea, especially if they all match and they are all new. I'm going to try it your way on my new Tacoma and see what happens, I don't need a new spare tire, just something to get me to the tire shop if something happens on the road. I do carry a can of fix a flat and a mini air compressor with me everywhere I go, I even carry a tire fix it kit I bought from Amazon in all my cars and trucks so if i can find the whole I can just fix it on the road. I do a lot of backpacking and white water canoeing. Right now I have a dodge ram 2500 Toyota Tacoma and a Honda CRV which doesn't even come with a spare tire at all it just the can to fix a flat lol. I'm going to try it your way this time and rotate my spare into the mix until I get my spare worn down to almost time to buy a new one and see what happens, keep up the good work.

My truck reaching its first oil change, and this was all great needed info… you got yourself a subscriber

I just got a Tacoma and I am learning so much with this video! Thank you so much!!!!

Love this simple video packed with the most relevant info like torque specs and product suggestions to make things easier. I really appreciate this.

Haha this guy is all fun! Thanks for this great explanation,I’m a Taco owner and wanted to know how to reset maintenance light 😅

Great Video! After my last oil change at the Stealerships I learned a $129.00 lesson. DYI! Thanks for the video!

The Toyota dealership that got me my 21 Tacoma had a deal at the time that changed my oil filter, air filter, and tire rotations for life

Thanks for this. The dealer owes me one more oil change before my freebies expire, but I will be doing it myself from now on. No way I will trust the quick change monkeys with my new Tacoma !

Great video! Love your Taco in that army green, and those wheels and tires! Must be nice, that fancy skid plate door, so you can get to that funky nice plastic housing for that updated new cartridge filter design!!! I have an ‘05 taco with the 1GR- FE with that antiquated design with the spin on oil filter you can change standing up wearing your best clothing… 😂😅

I have splashed oil many times in my shop doing oil changes. I know the feeling.

Thats a lot of tasks for a simple oil change. Glad my frontier's filter just screws off lol

I installed a Valvomax drain plug on my Tacoma after I bathed myself with oil on the first change. I scrimp on the cabin air filter because I open my windows and sunroof on nice days. The cabin air filter is largely superfluous with the cabin open. Even the cheap ones protect your ventilation heat exchangers.

Good news and views,no BS, just smart helpful knowledge,earned a subscription❤

Awesome video! I appreciate you adding all the torque specs 👍🏼

Felt guilty, but I laughed so hard when the oil sprayed on his floor and he said, “Super cool!” Subscribed to the channel. So much helpful information. Thank you!

Not a bad video, basically what I do with two differences. 1) Shop vac, connect to the inlet pull vacuum while you take off the the drain plug, you don't get any oil out till you shut off the vacuum. Lazy way to keep clean. 2) Do you not have grease joints on the Drive shafts anymore? I have a 2nd gen Tacoma and I lube them up every time I change the oil. I also do 5k miles or 6 months which ever comes first (use to be 3 months or 5k miles, but I don't drive near as much with my new job).

This is Helpful!! Thanks.. im no mechanic..

Tip for preventing oil from shooting out and getting everywhere, put a oil no splatter pad in the pan

Nice job! Sarge is looking good with the new skid plate!!!!!

I didn't have the place to change my oil last time so I brought it to a shop. They charged $330 to change the oil and change the cabin air filter.... -.- Didn't even go over anything they may have inspected like brake pad thickness. At least a dealership will do that. Thanks for this great walk through!

You can use a piece of felt to reduce the chances of a spill or get yourself a fumoto oil drain valve.

Great video Jason! Yep no dealerships here

there's a large green oil drain pan that walmart, oreilly and other places sell. it has these bubbles on the bottom and really stops the 0w20 from splashing all over the place. 0w20 has the consistancy of water...

Buy a Fumoto valve to replace your drain plug,,quit dealing with the mess,,works awesome.

nice video, I run a bottle of that stuff every 1500 miles, also try and use ethanol free gas as much as possible. Started doing my own maintenance now that my free Toyota maintenance is over.

Never changed plug gasket/washer in my life unless there was a leak previously.

$69 for that tool is nuts Thanks for the video

I was using the cup wrench and wouldn’t budge. The pieces so where it could grip on were already broken off from the dealer so imma let them deal with it next turn

My Brother in Law was a Researcher for Chevron for many years. He tested oil on HUGE engines. What kind of oil should you run? FRESH.

$70 for a damn funnel and filter wrench?!

Awesome video Jason!

Hey you should check out Capri 4.5 gallon drain pans. Well built deep walled, no flexing or twisting with 7 quarts in it. Holds about 8 quarts safely.

And this ladies and gentlemen is how its done

Right now there is kitty litter all over my driveway thanks to that oil pan.

Why use Techron? I use Top Tier gas, serve the same purpose!

lol jus ordered my truck! wont get it for another 4 months but i wanna know all the repair so i can diy that bad boy thanks for the vid

I got a 21 green Taco. Air stopped blowing tonight. I hope its just the cab filter. Im gonna try & see tomorrow. If anyone has any advice im all ears! I will try the easiest fix first I think filter is that. If not im gonna be watching videos trying to figure out what to do next😅. The extent of my mechanic skills are changing headlights, filters, & sometimes wiper blades😂

SARGE is looking sharp 👌

Sweet truck

Great video. One additional item to consider is greasing the U-Joints.

Jason, have you thought about having Katzkin make you Tan Leather seat covers for your Tacoma? I’m having them make mine in a Red color that goes well with the Barcelona Red metallic that I’m having our body shop 2 tone my White TRD. Like you, everything needs to “Match”.

my 4 cyl tacoma has a traditional oil filter that i like to hand tighten. my camry has the canister style and i gotta say, i really appreciate the simplicity of the tacoma. the canister style seems like a bad design in comparison.

Pro tip, put a shop vac in your fill spout and the oil wont rocket out when you pull the plug. :D

I learned on the first oil change to use a large Tupperware container about 5 liters in volume to catch the oil. It’s about 5” tall on the sides and there is no splash what so ever. Im going to def buy the skid plate. The stock one isn’t too hard but def heavy and make your shoulders hurt after. Thanks for the awesome video! Subscribed. Edit: it is a 10liter container. 5 is way too small haha.

Jason, just got my Tacoma and found your content so well presented and detailed. Thank you. Wanted to ask what hood protector you use?

You should tell people how to reset the tire tpms system when you rotate the tires

God, I have that drain pan and I HATE it. It's so neat when oil unexpectedly shoots all over you and it totally shouldn't. Then you flinch and slam your head into your lower control arm.

Jason, did the steel CBI skid plate used on your Tacoma take care of the design issue you noted on the aluminum plate used on your 4 runner?

Just bought my 22 Tacoma about 2 weeks ago, but the oil dipstick is impossible to read accurately? Am I the only one with this issue or should I be worried. I’m taking it to the dealership tomorrow to check it out.

Fumoto valve instead of drain plug...it is safe. .it has two safety devices to keep the splashing around.

Great video! Thank you.

Great video Jason, you are very good explaining things hehe

My Toyota care only covered 2 oil changes! They said it's synthetic so only needs a change every 10k miles

Mmmmm🧐? Thank you for the tips on the oil drain tool kit, I am going to purchase one. The filter removal sockets purchased thus far have been junk. And I do use the same exact oil. Thank you for finding the cabin air filter location, I was wondering about that. Your tire rotation plan is clever. Though, what about the transmission fluid level, and you forgot the differentials. Thank you and motor on!

2015, 4.0 and my filter is up top of the motor

Mobile one makes a synthetic oil that only needs to be changed every 20,000

Royal Purple oil is the best

Brother next time use your fluid extractor to remove the oil via your dip stick tube. It would have saved you from cleaning up a mess.

The oil wouldn't shoot out if you had the vent open. Just a little advice from experience

Nice job. Personally, I change my oil every 3,000 to 3,500 miles. Oil is cheap and easy to perform. Some may say it's overkill buy, yet you can't tell me it's bad for my engine to change my oil every 3k vs. every 5k or 7.5k or even every 10k miles

Thanks for the videos. Been watching them like crazy. I'm waiting for my very first 4runner which is on a shipping vessel right now to the states. So i know Toyota has their service package and from what I've seen, most New Toyota owners are doing the servicing on their own including a 1000 mile break in oil change. Did you happen to do the same? Are you planning to use Any of the 2 year toyota service?

Wonderful helpful tips and guide. I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma SR5 3.5L V6. @ 36,000 miles I have a question and wanted to know if the same things you use work for mine as well or should I get a different kind of oil? Second question is what kind of transmission oil fuild do I use to change and what other things do I need to change also? It's hard to find real loyal mechanics so I came across your channel and hoping to get some help all the way from: Juneau Alaska

I love this video

I just discovered your channel and planning on getting a Tacoma in Aug. Would you recommend Lucas oil stabilizer, or other Lucas products.

Thank you! But K&N filters let 30 microns of dirt through the intake. Not good for sensors. Best filter is WIX 3-5 microns. Techron should be added the last tank before a oil change. Not after a oil change.

I have that exact CBI skid and shops have complained they can't access many things and asked to remove them. I told them not to touch. Have you needed to remove yours for any specific service?

link to bug deflector front hood?

I’ve got a question for you Jason. My dealership uses Mobile 1 full synthetic oil when they change the oil and filter. If Havoline is better oil, why do they use Mobile 1 ? I get free oil and filter changes for as long as I own my truck, (which is about 15-20 years or 250K to 300K miles). Toyota says to change the oil and filter every 10K miles but I still change it every 5K miles, so I buy the Mobile 1 full synthetic oil and filter and crush washer, so Toyota charges me $40 every time I’m paying for it. My 23 TRD Off Road is about a year old with 8,500 miles. We’re going to MT this weekend for vacation, so I’m sure after returning home it’ll have 10K miles on it. Since our dealership uses Mobile 1 full synthetic oil, will it hurt my 3.5L to use the Havoline for the times I’m paying for the oil change? I appreciate your channel and content.

Put a piece of soft foam inside your drain pan, and the oil won't shoot out... You're welcome.😀

Nice job 👍.

Thats a heck of a cough you got there guy😂 You may want to go to the most expensive heart hospital in your area to get that checked out.

Do TPMS sensors automatically reset to the position on tire rotation ?

talk talk talk, sponsor, talk talk talk, work, sponsor, talk talk talk, sponsor, finishing up. holy jeeze milking that 10 minute sponsorship, get it!

Great video! Could you do the same video for 4Runner?

Don’t use TRD or K&N type oil soaked filters. They allow a think film of oil to deposit on the mass airflow sensor and can affect the air to fuel ratio. Not only can that affect mileage, but throwing off the stoichiometric ratio can ruin your catalytic converter. Stick with a stock Toyota filter.

YOU FORGOT A STEP!!! After rotating the tires you need to reset the TPMS so it can relearn the tire positions. Although, I'm not sure how that's going to work if you have a sensor in your spare. Normally, that's not the case, but you have an active spare that you're using in the rotation and the TPMS doesn't account for the spare.

Where do you stand on low mileage vehicles? Service at the 5k mark or based on time? I work from home so my truck does not get up to 5k miles very quickly.

Love that front hood guard, where did you get it ? Looks awesome !

I have the same pan and had the same exact problem…

I torque the oil filter cap to 18' lbs and oil cap plug to 10' lbs....every 2 days I see a small drip on my oil filter cap. Should I tighten the oil filter cap some more?

Do you have TPMS on all 5 tires? I am thinking of doing this for my truck, but wondering if I only have 4 TPMS, when I put the spare to passenger rear, it will throw a code for the sensors.

At the toyota dealer, they told me oil change must be done every 10K miles?

Is there any reason why you can't install the smaller O ring while the housing is out of the car?

What size tires do you run? Also I have the same wheel set up as you. But… seems like you can install a full-size spare under the bed. Can you? I always heard that you need to modify it.

Question for anyone. I was looking for this type of oil and couldn’t find it. But I did find the havoline pro DS. Will this work the same?

Dude you went to Yakima to buy your Tacoma? I had to look it up to make sure. I almost worked for them. Do you live around Yakima?

I’d love to do this myself seriously but I take it to the Toyota dealership when it is time to change the oil. Therefore, I just let them do ieverything every 5,000 miles.

How hard is it to change oil pan gasket. Seem to be seeping oil. Not a bad drip. Maybe I should tighten the allen bolts.

Does anyone know where to get the Havoline Pro RS oil? I can’t find it anywhere!

I just bought at '23 with 6 miles on it. The dipsticks on these read funny on these from what I've heard. It was reading high but it's hard to read new oil. I decided to do it at 100 miles for peace of mind. It was overfilled 30oz from the factory. Has anyone heard of this?

What brand is the hood deflector

Cuestion... why do use 0w-20 on toyotas 2.7 in line 4 or 3.2 v 6 ..? When in the rest of the word toyota owner manual call for 5w-40 whats the diference betwin those ? Im look online alot but cant find eny thing

Do you have any trouble with you spare tire wheel rubbing up against the undercarriage and ruining the outside wall of your tire? I have the same trd wheels and have some toyo open countries and found that rubbing was a problem

Great job. How many tons is your jack?
