2020 Toyota Corolla Oil Change! Super Easy 

Agreed! Plus it only takes roughly 45 mins to do. Not only money, but time you save

Its not the money its feeling uneasy knowing an idiot could over tighten drain plug or not put oil on filter gasket etc.Those quick lube places have kids working....Not feeling I would trust them. Doing it yourself assures everything was done correctly!

Everyone should have a trusted mechanic already for non-DIY repairs, someone that can do a good oil change. You can easily spend $40 at the parts store for 4-5 qts of oil and a filter. Add to this the time to jack up the car, find tools, lay on ground and remove skid plate, change oil/filter, remove jack stands, return old oil to parts store. I'll splurge $10 a couple of times a year to let someone else do it.

Why I've always reused the same one for years and no issues

That’s why I have issues with dealerships. They drained the oil and realized they didn’t have 0w-16 and only had 5w-20. I didn’t even have a choice.

That’s what they use on the 1.8L. Pretty sure they were lazy and used that.

It's usually just kids doing it. Not much care factor

And they have the nerve to charge $100 or more to do a wrong job like wtf

Well tbh how do you know if it was 5w-20. My dad got 2 years oil change complimentary so once a year at local toyota run by whoever franchises the name to resell the new cars. But that stuff was like a straight 30 or 40 because it would not stop knocking the valves till 20 minutes later when it was below 45 degrees on a winter night with out the sunshine to help warm everything in the environment

2.0 engine

In my area of California, dealerships and local auto stores were in short supplies of 0w-16. I called ahead of other Toyota dealerships and stores within 25 miles and I wasn't in luck. They suggested that I am able to run 0w-20. Yes, the pervious oil change appointment did change the oil filer. Yes, you are correct, I did top of the oil filter before placing it into the engine.

It's totally unnecessary to prime the oil filter before installing it.

I agree with Jack the prime happens instantly in the oil system of this car due to the way the oil feed is routed to and from the block. The air in oil will immediately come out of the crank case breather

@@njsongwriter i worked at an oil change shop and while your right its not required but it does sound like shit on startup for a few secs of running dry so might as well prefilled and avoid it. Its take a whole 5 seconds. If you can't take that extra time i don't want you working on my shit anyways

Pre filling oil filters allow possible contaminants to go straight into the important parts of the engine. I don't think jiffy lube techs no about cars or they would be working at a real shop.

Hello Hector, according to Corolla’s owner’s manual, if 0W-16 is not available, the manual suggests 0W-20. However, it must be replaced with 0W-16 at the next oil change (Page 527, vehicle specifications). Of course, bottom line, use the recommended oil.

@@luislepe5026 0w-20 is only for emergency use only then replace it with 0w-16 asap.

@@eraserheads78 yeah, I forgot to mention that. Thanks!

In the UK and Australian manuals Toyota still specifies 0w20 for the same engine. I would not worry too much about this. 0w20 is widely available and will be fine.

​@eraserheads78 I have a 2020 corolla that I have put over 150k miles on and have only ever used ow20. That's what it says to use

🙄 Why? U can't put a lot in it ANYWAY bc it's on it's side. But u ARE correct on gasket being prelubed. I'm 71 and have been doing for DECADES.
