if you pour oil into the oil filter but need to install the filter horizontally, wouldnt the oil you added not just come out again during installation?
I noticed this guy didn’t bother to show putting that oil filter back on and spilling a bunch of oil out because he pre-filled it when it goes in horizontal… 😂😂😂
I would recommend that you pull the dipstick when draining oil. And using the dipstick (cleaning it first) after the change to verify you didn’t under/overfill the engine.
18lbs for oil filter and 30lbs for sump plug 🤔 double check. 40Nm for sump plug may round off the thread on the sump my lc is 13Nm and 40Nm is for diff drain plug.
We just got back from a trip from Arkansas (we live in MN). Averaged 30.1mpg for most of the trip and up to 34mpg for some other areas. Going through the ozark hills of southern Mo and northern AR the 2.5 n/an engine pulled fine but is a little noisy. It would hold the 75mph cruise control setting. If you are looking at a more refined drivetrain consider the hybrid max but you’ll loose some mpg and potentially long term durability with turbo engine. Would I purchase out 2.5 hybrid again? Yes. If I lived in Colorado at higher altitude and was doing mountain passes frequently I would for sure look at the turbo for increased power and better altitude performance.
On Most Subaru Vehicles, the Oil-filter is right next to where you refill your Engine Oils = so you can use two-handed to twist the Filter. Our Subaru Legacy 1992; with clearance so high, that I did not have to lift the Car up = Safety, I just Go underneath with the 17mm and in 5 minutes with time drain/ and some flush fresh oil before I refill .../// I bought bulk-part Oil and fill a Tank, of Fresh oil; so for changing Oil cost us/me like 10 dollars each time and because I change almost 4-time a year the Oil; I changed only two-time the Filter, and the Subaru Legacy Model L 1992, special Edition, last us until 2023 May = when/where the Car was stolen. We/I have other vehicles bought along but I prefer that Subaru Legacy Made in Japan 1992! Driven like nothing troubles since New and winter like -40°F/C sometimes... Note that the Original Timing-Belt was on until 2019; all other Parts except Water Pump/ Thermostat and 2 CV Axels change in 2010; All Brake Pads and other parts were OEM!!! Cost us nothing but Oil Changes = which was 100.00 $ Max a Year and Gasolines ─ which have been cheap all the Year until recent 5 years. We/I am retired now = and the Next Vehicles would be Subaru CrossTrek and/or Impreza ─ in our Region, 🍁 🍁 /Alaska which would be Made in Japan again! Love them all. (the Toyoda Camry V6 LE Model 1993 were a Gem too!) Cheers,
16:52 Yes, Walmart STORES are authorized distributor in the US for Toyota OEM oil filters, but not necessarily Walmart website since there are third party sellers on their website.
Thank you for the video. I followed it and preformed a break in oil change too. Luckily my local Toyota dealership has 0W-8, but it was tough removing the old filter.
thank you very much for the video. i used it to guide me on my gh hybrid max. only different oil, cover was a little different, andthe location of oil cap is different. first ever self oil change here. thanks again
I think it is safe if he was able to slide underneath even with the hydraulic jack. If the jack failed the vehicle would have still been higher than anyone laying underneath. But I suppose a failed hydraulic jack could have made the vehicle bounce lower than its default standing position, or make it roll forward or backwards. I personally would have still put it on some jack stands.
Just buy a 2 at a time. Unless you are driving 75k miles a year or maintain a fleet of Toyotas it’s tough to justify stocking filters to save on a $1-2 potential price increase.
I agree 100% and did same on my 2023 Lexus ES300h, Ultra Luxury trim at 1,000 miles and again at 6,000 miles. I also change the poil & filter on our vehicles every 5,000 miles or six-months, whichever occurs first. Why, well just watch "The Motor Oil Geek" on RU-vid and his discussion about why you change the oil & filter in the first 1,000 miles on any new car and at about 5,000 miles thereafter. You will see why and as Scotty and The Car Care Nut say, oil & filters are cheap, engines are expensive. LOL
Japanese Engineer = With Automotive Press (David Chao) interviewed Japanese Engineer, stated that one should change oil every 3k miles. And use just simple Oils = don't have to be Synthetic... We/I change our Subaru Legacy 1992 every 3000 km and/or 4 time a year and cost us little if we have bulk-tank of Oil bought whole sale; and the Subaru Legacy I had took 15 minute total to have Oil/ and Filter changed... And we never had to lift up the Car (high Clearance of Boxer Engine Type. The New Subaru even have the Oil Filter on top so even faster to change... Engine Oils are cheap if we bought when they are 40-50% of leave them in the Garage and Change at anytime... Cost of other Services are much higher than regular Oil Changes and Warm up long before driving off in a Cold day.❤❤ . Our Chevrolet Cavalier 2003 = estate Car, has low mileage on Odometer but everything original since 2003 but the Power/window Switch and Signal Lights and A Brand New Muffler before Xmas 2023 with Winter Tires New ... The 2003 stood up with Cold Snap in AB, 🍁 🍁 last month when Temp Plummet down to Minus 40°F/C. Cheers,
@@carmencajayon937 So, you are correct regarding old school engines and vehicles. However, new vehicles have high rev. engines, direct injection, and variable valve timing. They need the correct "full" synthetic viscosity oil to lubricate the upper cylinders/values on start-up and during driving.
The Grand Highlander is really nice. I wish it was available with the Harvest Beige interior color. Perhaps Toyota will offer that and more in a refresh a few years from now. Despite the powertrain being around for a while; it is the first model of a new model year. So, I really hope it serves you well.
Thanks. Only complaint so far is some of the interior plastics scratch easy. Other than that it’s getting great mpg and drives great. Body style is nothing award winning but it should age well.
@@andycox1793 It'd be nice if it got a horsepower boost too. I think 243 hp is barely making it, especially with full occupancy and added cargo. I know the hybrid is meant for fuel economy but, a little more horsepower goes a long way. Hopefully it has good torque because Toyota doesn't want to release the full numbers. I heard the LED headlights are a menace to other drivers. I saw a white one on the road one night and the headlights were so good I almost turned the ones on my car off so I could see through that Grand Highlander's headlights. 😆
Has anyone ever run an oil weight higher than 0w-20 possibly 5w on these toyota 2.5 na's? Feel that when at high mileage you'd want to go with a higher viscosity.
There is a guy in the rav4 hybrid Facebook forum with a current body style rav4 (2020 or 21 I believe) with 450k miles on original engine and hybrid ecvt. He documents everything and does 10k oil changes at the Toyota dealership. I presume he runs 0w16 as that’s what rav4 hybrids call for with the same 2.5 engine.
I use 0w20 in my 2.5. It works better than the 0w16. You can even use 5w30 in these engines in warmer climates. Most dealers are putting in 0w20 knockoff brand synthetic bulk oil regardless of what is on the receipt.
He said it was after the break on period, 1000 miles for that vehicle. Some cars will have a different oil to better catch any metal shavings that come off in the break in period. Others just want an oil change to get those metal shavings out. The manufacturing process leaves sharp edges that get slightly worn down with use. They're more likely to leave metal shavings when new than the rest of the life of the car.
Great spec. I still can't believe we live in a world where Toyota is forced to use turbos. Car term also used as the definition of lowering reliability. Please use the 0w/8 going forward though. They will void your warranty if something happens to that car in the future. Also they measure the tolerance for the type that is in book so not worth it to change. Never buy a giant car with a small motor and a turbo. 😢
The Manual Shows 0w8 And 0w16 when 0w8 Is not available So good to go on warranty. Oddly the rav4 hybrid with the exact same drivetrain recommends 0w16 only.
Turbo engines are not less reliable. These modern turbo engines are designed with efficiency, drivability, and longevity in mind not sports car performance. The 2.5 Hybrid doesn’t use a turbo. It uses very high compression instead.
0W8 oil? This is water not oil. 😄 I've Lexus IS 300h with 2.5 litre engine. I don't know is this is the same engine but for my Lexus 0W20 is recommended in UK.
