Why did Toyota reconfigure the entire oil filter process and toss the spin-on style? Going to install a metal one next oil change - will take care to lube the threads well. 2020 Tacoma

Did exactly that and the dorman plug in the house leaked and when I removed it, it was broken.

2:17, bad idea. Just use a breaker bar

Was wondering why the spare didn’t fit back in the trunk. Such a thorough video - many thanks!

2023 tacoma with 15k miles bought it at 9k. called stealership to confirm that they were the ones that had done two oil changes before i bought. the housing unit was absolutely impossible to take out with a ratchet even applied a tube to it to get better force to twist and nothing. broke a 3/8 METAL extension from how hard we were trying to get it off. first time doing an oil change on this so i 1000% made sure i wasn't tightening it. tried for hours and just gave up because even a impact gun couldn't take it out.... called the stealership the next day and they assured me they did not over tightened it. i will be taking it to them so they can deal with it but after that i will never get it serviced with them again

Is there a reason they would put a rubber tube in the middle instead of just making it one metal tube

Looks awesome

I think some mechanics mis interpret the stamping on the bottom of the housing is in nm not foot lbs and are torquing it to 25 ft lbs instead of nm

Charlie auto repair are the best....

I can not understand the benefit of these canister housings. The filter media cost just as much as the metal canister filters, these are a PIA to deal with as they are messy, have two rubber gaskets that have to be replaced, and must have special oil filter removal tool to get them off. Dealership mechanics definetly over tighten everything. Surprised to see a torque wrench that nice in a dealership. And if you take it to your local Jiffy Express Lube, they'll crossfred the strews everytime. Lordy!

Great video. I just fixed the same issue on my 09s before I saw this video. It all makes sense now👍

5,000 dollars your good to go 🙄🙄🙄🙄 mechanics like him are the biggest scam artists

DO NOT allow the wheels to touch the GROUND!!!!!!! WRONG information!

What has happened to MBZ quality? A new car with a leak...shameful.

My town and country is having some issues today. I’m moving to a new house and it’s what I’ve got. The irony is that I’ve recently separated from my violent husband who’s a mechanic. Lol. Seriously he has never fixed a single thing on any of my vehicles in twenty years just to be petty and spiteful. He said if I have a car I’ll be able to meet someone and leave him. No I didn’t though. I had to remove him from us cuz he thinks he’s allowed to attack me and my oldest son and break everything we own including my vehicle. So now I get to find a mechanic who hopefully doesn’t know him. Honestly he’s not a good mechanic anyways and he’s also on drugs at work so I wouldn’t let change my oil. Oh well.

If the customer would have just taken it to the dealer, she wouldn't have to pay your shops diagnostic fee.

Mercedes in the shop, nothing unusual there.

That's normal for german cars. Same with oil leaks.

Amazing, clean explanation!

When you mention “bottom out” the housing, do you mean turning until it absolutely stops, even if it has passed the 18ft/lbs on a torque wrench? It just seems like it doesn’t take much turning to reach 18ft/lb.

Awesome video explaining it. This is how i work on my Lexus and Toyota filters. I even use a torque wrench on my drain bolt so i can get the crush washer off easily. At least on my accord if you over tighten it up can't get the washer over the threads

It was working fine... Until, I pour the bluedevil Head Gasket Sealer... It's stop working... and the engine running hot now. :( Help.

Brilliant, many thanks, mine was stuck in top position. Now to the question, do I dare to check and glue those sensor, havent decided yet. 😉

Thanks sor. Recently bought rav4 17 with this plastic canister. It was stuck real good, I had to chisel it out 😢 and of course it was destroyed

Awesome work, Niko. Keep it up. I'm sure that Porsche owners around the country appreciate your dedication to repairing their cars.

WHIP SMART

nice. a mechanic is replacing these on our suburban today. It is hard to find a decent mechanic that can correctly diagnose suspension issues. There are a lot of really sloppy mechanics out there from what I am finding out. Even at new car dealerships, they can not be fully trusted sadly. The world is changing to where sloppiness and halfway work is acceptable. It is important to discuss expectations with salesmen because they don't always intend on delivering quality service to you.

Thank you for this video!! I had apply so much force to get that filter housing off I was sure it was going to break. Dealer really tightened the heck out of it. Thanks again

Nice work. Even if Merc did sell the parts I bet it would be fully remove and repair. Always pick a good indy over the dealer.

Just 2 constructive points...Why torque down a oil canister housing? Just snug it in..like a spin on oil filter...Why did you use used motor oil to lube the new O ring on the canister housing? New Synthetic Grease on O ring and threads before install..Please show everyone the details properly....

Great video!! You saved the day You juste saved my customer many hundreds of dollars!!! Thanks

Wow...this is super cool! It's really great that you are able to provide this service to customers. Keep up the great work.

What a cool car. I worked on many of these, in my day. That rear window is very unique.

Wonderful video!! Thank you!! I did everything you said not to do and suffered all the consequences. Fixed it now, thumbs up!!

I need this fix on my 07 911 Targa 4S. The question is, since my mechanics never keep in stock the Bosch starter, nor do they keep in stock the wiring, if I don't want to do the entire replacement and just do the wire, to then see whether my car also needs a new starter, how do I avoid wasting time and money?

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Worked like a charm. Had it working again in less than 10 minutes.

Tell me about it. I had to use a breaker bar to get the filter off after our RX350 had work done in a shop. Meanwhile would somebody tell Toyota that cartridge filters went out 40 years ago... for a reason.

Mine was also smoking from this area… my elbows were oily and easily slip on and off. So annoying how crappy these parts are.

Switch isn’t bad if you separate, I’ve cleaned my contacts and greased. Reassembled and fixed problems.

Fact is, once the cap flange touches the housing it's tight enough. The large o-ring is what seals the filter. When he says "bottom out" That's tight enough!

If only Toyota and Lexus dealers did a seminar on this for all of the oil change folks… Every single time over torqued…

Good video but very bad camera focus..

I have a cold start problem but once its warmed up alittle runs great and it will start easily as well once warmed abit. So I'm guessing my accumilator is good.

Que precio tiene ese turvo

If you running bleed procedure just throw a jump box it so battery doesn't die..

Using a plastic filter cap was a bad idea.

Why I do my own oil changes. Don't need some quicky lube monkey tightening my drain plug or oil filter with a impact gun.

For the 2011 Corolla, there is an inexpensive workaround. I bought a quality brand 1/4 in torque wrench. It generally "clicks when it's supposed to but I was so paranoid after cracking my first filter housing I arrived at a simple workaround that gives me the desired torque, without overtightening. I also do not require a torque wrench. First ... when removing the housing, as gently as possible, unscrew the housing. Do not yank, grab, jerk or wrestle the housing off. Gently, gently unscrew the cap until finger loose. Remove normally after that. When tightening, gently tighten the cap towards the housing (base) surface. Just before you've tightened it fully, ensure you can insert a 0.15mm feeler gauge between the cap and the base. If you have a snug (not tight) fit. You're good to go. But I repeat, gently, gently tighten the housing down to that gap. More and you risk cracking the housing a few months later when you change your filter. Generally that is when the caps crack. This has worked without issue for two full oil changes without leaking and the housing was easy to twist off without an initial jerk or tug to loosen. It just immediately began to twist out as soon as I put the faintest pressure on it. That's it. Guaranteed "decent" accuracy of torque without overtightening and without a torque wrench. Best of days to all.

My problem is the vehicle does not go off when i switch off the key. Any help

Thank you.
