Absolutely awesome!! The past few times I’ve taken it to my local Toyota dealership and when I went ti do it today all the skid plate was held in by was one bolt that was completely stripped and 3 more were broken off inside the truck. Absolutely unbelievable can’t believe they would let that go at Toyota

Good job. 6th video on the subject I came to, and you're the only one that did it right. That is, unless others want oil all over them by not using the drain valve. You do not need to remove the skid plate. If you do it's a real pain in the butt to reposition it. Remove the 10 & 12 MM bolts, and just lower its back with its hooks still in the core support. Ensure it's secure for the taske, SHARP edges. You can support the bottom if you like. Get yourself a container with a handle on it to drain the filter. I have a 32 Oz container, works perfect. A 1.1/6" socket on the filter remover makes removing/installing the filter easy.

Thanks Tony. I appreciate it. I have heard the skid plate is a real pain. So many have commented that you need to remove it to do the oil change and they are asking about it. But I am guessing that they only put it on the 4X4. Mine is a TSS Offroad but not 4WD. Bought it new and no skip plate. Again I really appreciate you Tony.

When the Toyota parts mgr sold me the filter he asked if I’d ever done an oil change on my Tundra and I said no but was aware that the filter was different than the old canister type. He said the new kind are usually difficult to remove but to not blame the service tech for over tightening it on the last oil change. He said these cartridge filter bases tighten on their own due to the expansion and contraction of the engine etc. He also advised getting a good wrench. The $10 Auto Zone wrenches are crap he said. So I bought the Motive 2320 like yours and it worked great…but yep, that filter housing was on there good and tight.

Good video, it probably saved me from making a mess in my garage. I had not thought about the fact that this truck holds oil. My old oil drain pan would have overflowed. So I went and bought a new one before I started., The video does not mention removing the skid pad to access the oil drain plug. Which was necessary on my truck. But maybe that is only required on 4 wheel drives

Great video. Have a 2021 tundra and honestly it has the worst dipstick for checking the oil level. Readings are all over the damn place. It’s got a kink in the oil tube which throws off readings since it smears coming up. I found the best way to check is letting it sit flat overnight and then checking level. I change my oil every 4K miles haha I only put on about 10k miles a year so o figure I’d change the oil twice a year not bad

Congratulations on choosing the best oil filter cap wrench for this application. Best price on oil is Costco's Kirkland brand. 10 quarts for $25. It is full synthetic. Viewers who have a torque wrench may appreciate the specs. Oil pan drainplug = 40 N•m (30 ft.lbs) Oil filter cap = 25 N•m (18 ft.lbs) Oil filter cap drainbolt = 12.5 N•m (9 ft.lbs.) Half way between the add oil mark and the full mark is more than half a quart. If I'm correct there is 1.8 quarts difference between those marks.

Readers, open up your pocket book and buy the good stuff. Kirkland Oil sold by Costco is produced by Warren Distribution which specializes in receiving used motor oils, then filters the used oil to take all contaminants out. The Dollar stores sell most of their products. Mobil 1 is hands down a better brand compared to Kirkland . Jack thank you for your input though.

full synthetic and double oil volume over a other brand truck means 10k is totally fine. The additive pack also has plenty of buffers to last well over 1 year of humidity cycles. The engineers oci are proven. If you doubt, send out an oil sample for testing. for what it is worth, have a friend with a corolla with only highway miles. he drives about 300 miles per work day. he just had his timing belt let loose. he changes with full synthetic at 15,000 to 20,000 miles. The motor had 670,000 miles on it. The rest of the car is nice enough he is putting a used motor in it.

While the Toyota filter is fine..the amsoil filter element flows oil better From reviews on line yes it is much more expensive..

But he's still a mechanic who makes his living doing oil changes (and much more, of course) so there's a conflict of interest there. I'm not saying 10,000 mile OCIs always make sense, but for highway cruisers in mild climates, for example, it definitely makes sense. I'm just saying decide based on your actual driving habits, not just an arbitrary desire to do more oil changes "just in case" it might help. It winds up being a waste of natural resources, a waste of money and a waste of time.

After reading further down in the comments I see yours is a 2WD and can see that you have the smaller engine shield (not skid plate) which you clarified in comments toward the front by the bumper that the plastic tabs on the bumper cover screw into the small engine shield. I have searched over and over and called dealerships on skid plates because my 2017 model 2wd that I bought USED didn't even come with the smaller engine shield that I can see clearly in your video. After finding out the toyota part #514100c030 and entering that into EBAY, I clearly see it is the same small engine shield you have on your truck. (very nice footage ) Does this smaller engine shield cover the oil filter housing and lines in the front of the truck or are they still exposed ? Have you installed a larger skid plate or anything yet? After much research etc... I appreciate your channel and any additional information you have

Hi Steve. Thank you so much for the kind comments. I have quite a bit more Tundra content and I have more coming soon. Let me crawl under there and take a look to see if I can get you that info. It is 14 degrees here today and I'm not getting anywhere near the concrete. LOL. I will get under there in the next few days though and get that info for you. I really appreciate you sir.

Thanks for your video’s. I was always reluctant to change my own oil while my vehicle was under warranty. I was worried that if something happened to the engine they would blame me even though I had receipt’s and records. What are your thoughts
@DadsGarageDIY2 жыл бұрын
Unless they can prove you did someone negligent they would have a very tough time denying a warranty claim. For a while I had the thought that I would have the dealer change the oil (under warranty or not) because if I ever did make any mistake or if there was a defective oil filter or something or for instance the drain plug leaked or something then I was on the hook. And I thought the little extra I was paying them was kind of insurance. Because if they made the mistake they would pay. But, for me it became more about the time to not only drive down there but then sit there. I finally asked myself "what are you doing? You have been changing oil for many years." So, I listened to myself and decided to save the time and money and just get back to doing them myself. Not to mention (to your point in the other video) what are they putting in your engine??? We both know it is something super cheap out of a 55-gallon barrel. Maybe it is up to spec. But, we really don't know. If I pour it out of a bottle I know what's going in. The car I drive we trade off every 1-3 years. But, in the case of this Tundra we will have it for 10+. Anyway, sorry I wrote so much.

Sometimes that’s just the truth. Similar story here….took my Corvette to a Chevy dealer to get the oil changed and the technician could not figure out why he kept overfilling it with oil. He didn’t know it had 2 drain plugs. So, he wasn’t getting all the oil out. Ugh!

Hi ylastra88. Appreciate the comments. I started putting links in and Amazon removed my account because they said I didn't qualify for some unexplained reason. I am not sure if it is because I didn't have enough subs or if people weren't buying enough from the links. Not sure. Was pretty frustrating though because I was only in their program for about 60 days. They told me I could reapply later. They make it difficult for people that are just starting out. Ugh! The filters you can either get on Amazon or your local auto parts store. The oil is readily available but the best price I have found is Sam's. They seem to put it on sale for $10 off per case every other month.

Next time take the filter canister drain adapter and the drain spout through the cap of a Gatorade bottle. Make an X-cut with a knife in the Gatorade cap and push the cylindrical drain spout through the cap. Place the cap back on the Gatorade bottle. When it is time to drain residual oil in the canister, push the bottle and cap into the drain port receiver in the canister. The oil drains into the Gatorade bottle and does not squirt all over your hand or splatter into your drain pan. I don't even pull the drain pan over and under the canister. Then you can poor the oil into your recycle jug, where it can be filtered, recycled and sent to China to burn in their power plants to power their factories or maybe recycled and used to lubricate the twin high bypass turbo fan engines in Al Gore's, Leonardo DeCaprio's or Bill Gate's G-5;private jets and personal super yachts.
