I agree, it’s a great little upgrade that is easy to do and gives a little piece of mind in the process! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already. Thank you!

@@5MinuteFixit I already gave it a thumbs up and just subscribed to your channel! Excellent video👍🏻

Toyota installs plastic cause they are the only one with proper tool to tighten it right without breaking off plastic.No other shop will change your oil if housing is plastic.😀

It is a very easy process just make sure you’re center portion of the new cap is the same length as the one on your cap or you will need to swap it like in the video. Thank you for watching and good luck on the swap! Also please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

I do still check the comments! Thank you for watching! While I don’t believe they make this wrench anymore the one I recommend and use now is this one: amzn.to/3H28his (Amazon Affiliate link). Hopefully this helps, thanks again for watching!

Yea man the other over the cap ones get Stuck all the time, once I just left it on until the next oil change lol, it was still there…

I guess they still make them I just found it: www.asrparts.com/collections/toyota

You are the man thanks again!

That filter cap is plastic when I go to the link

@@dylanstevens5714 I just checked the link and it is the correct one.

My 2012 Toyota Sienna came with a metal housing OEM, I don’t see any reason not to swap out if you see fit. I’m not saying you should just that there isn’t a good reason not to. I’ve done it on my 4Runner because of broken tabs (broken when I purchased the vehicle) and have had zero issues over the 50k miles put on since.

@@5MinuteFixitif I could purchase a OEM metal oil housing with the correct size oil stand tube all ready to go out of the box without tampering with the tabs and spring I would switch but so far cannot find that for a 5.7 tundra.

Thank you for the tip and thank you for watching!

That explains how to get it out but how the heck do you get it back in? Mine fell out when removing my filter and it seemed that the way to get it back in was push down on the spring and twist the tabs into the grooves but you aren't able to do that.

@@troyhubbard50 if I remember correctly, I did what you described to get it close, then just reversed the process with the screwdriver. Hope you figured it out.

@@skent I ended up getting it back in with no tools and without bending the tabs fortunately.

@@troyhubbard50me too

Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

Thank you for watching, I would just swap out the center piece and carefully push them back into place. Once the filter element is in there it holds it down so it shouldn’t be an issue coming out at all.

@@5MinuteFixit yup I did all that and doesn't fit correctly at all for me at least. Might have to purchase another oil housing. Could have got a bad one. The tabs just don't hold onto the new housing. Weird because it genuine Toyota part and the correct part. When I did try to install the center piece it would pop out at the slightest move. Trust me I watched many videos on this matter and am doing it correctly. That's why I'm thinking the tabs on the oil canister are too small for the center piece too fit. Will update it I ever figure this issue out.

@@roblowe6086 I removed the center tube piece from my stock plastic housing and installed it on the aluminum housing with zero issues. I carefully pryed up the 2 tabs with a flat head screw driver then twisted the tube and removed it from plastic housing. I installed the spring and seat/cover onto the aluminum housing then twisted the center tube piece into place then pushed the tabs back down with the flathead screwdriver to lock it in place…looked perfect and the tabs looked like they were never pryed up or tampered with. I have a 2018 Tundra w/5.7. I noticed the center tube on the cap is very long on the Tundra. What model Toyota do you have? What’s the part # on the aluminum cap that you have? Maybe I can help you figure out why it’s not working for you?

I’m glad the video was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving it a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

My 2012 Sienna came with a metal one OEM.

@@5MinuteFixit The price of nylon versus aluminum is nothing.... Or the aluminum is cheaper. So Toyota can't have introduced nylon (not plastic) to save money. I just bought a genuine Toyota nylon one for $28 on ebay (shipped)... I like the idea of soft nylon threads going into my engine rather than harsh splintery aluminum.. The cost of fixing damaged engine threads must be immense

I don’t believe they make the one I used in the video but others have had great luck with this one that is made just for these types of Toyota filter housings: amzn.to/2XlD3eV *Amazon Affiliate Link* Thanks for watching!

@@5MinuteFixit Exactly. If you have used this tool, those plastic housing tabs would have never broke in the first place.

Thanks for the compliment, I believe they stopped making the filter wrench I used in the video so I linked another which others have said they have had good luck with. Thank you for watching and please check out my other Toyota maintenance videos if you are interested.

The filter wrench he used in the video is a Steelman 99400. They still make them BTW.

I believe they are the same and have the same spring rate with that said I used the original spring just in case they were different in any way. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

I’m not sure exactly what you are referring to but once put together nothing should move around loosely. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching!

I have both a 2012 Sienna and a 2014 4Runner they both use the same housing but the tube length on the 4runner is longer and the filter element itself is longer as well. Also I've done an oil change on a Tundra V8 and it had a long tube as well. Hopefully this answers your question! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!

thanks for reply 5 minute Fix it,same filter housing,so no tube change. thumbs up

You don’t have to in most cases as far as I know but during an oil change is the perfect time to get it done. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!

The center portion keeps the filter from collapsing in onto itself. If the metal housing you purchased has a shorter center portion it should be swapped. Thank you for watching, hopefully this helps!

Yes it goes between the housing and the screen.

By the way, I’m dealing with a plastic filter housing 2011 Corolla le

It should be there, its part of the pressure valve

@@5MinuteFixit ok I’ll take a look. Thank you 4 replies!!!

The torque values are almost not needed as these filter housings bottom out before the torque spec is reached.

Hopefully someone will chime in and give you the correct answer here. Thank you for watching!

@@5MinuteFixit good stuff. Sub'd

It will, thank you for watching!

Yes I agree, making it harder for most people to work on their vehicles. Thank you for watching!

Yep. And even then one of those was optional.

What vehicles and years were these? I want one instead!

Yes it is, thank you for watching!

Yes it does, just like in the video the center portion does have to be swapped. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching!

It does just be sure to swap out when center section of the housing with the one from your housing like I show in the video. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching!

dont swap the middle on a tacoma

I tried for good 30 mins .I couldn't..maybe you could show us .

Yeah , no I just tried for 5 minutes.

I agree, I did not have to bend any tabs in my swap out. Is that spring for the by-pass relief ? I always have trouble understanding by-pass relief pressure. Many spin on oil filters for the same vehicle have different by- pass settings.

Replying because I did this earlier today. Yes don't bend the tabs! Mine were very hard and not bendable anyway. I did a Rav4. To reassemble (I did this not because of getting an aluminum filter but because my existing plastic one fell apart when it got stuck in the wrench).: 1. Line one side up in the "goal post" area. It goes in the center of the 2 tabs on the one side. It clicks in. Now you'll see you have an issue. It's very difficult to get the other side in without the side you just put in popping out. 2. Hold the side in tightly and with your other hand grab a flathead screwdriver and line up the other side. You wont' be able to lock it in yet, but push the flathead down into that 2 spaced area a few times and it will click in. If you did it right, the other side will also be clicked in still as well. Good luck!
