I have a ‘14 Tundra 5.7 - these are the exact steps I use to change my oil and filter. I have time to let the old oil drain and take my time to do it right. Now my baby has 103k miles and running like a top. Love your channel and Toyota is the absolute best money can buy.
Great video, as always. Great to see you have a great shop to work in. I have a 2017 Tundra, I'm the second owner. It had an after-market skid plate on it. This skid plate has an opening with four screws in it covering the oil filter access. Very easy to remove the four screws and the filter is just above it. I'm sure the skid plate wasn't cheap but I'm glad it came on the truck. Having the proper oil filter wrench and the oil filler funnel are also well worth the money. I'm sad to see the 5.7L engine disappearing. Great work, thanks for taking the extra time to show all your tips and vast knowledge.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Doing my 1st personal oil change tomorrow on my 2007 Tundra. Did my wife’s RX350 today which was also the first time I’ve done this element type filter.
Petr, this is one of the best videos of yours I've seen. So meticulous. And the NEW truck is beautiful. Great work. One of these days I'm going to try to schedule with you an inspection of my '02 4runner, which I love. (I have family up where you are, and I do visit from time to time.)
Thanks for the video clip Petar. If you have another chance of doing the very first oil change, regardless of the mileage, if you remember, please check the filter. So many reported small speckles of metal within the filter and are of opinion that is the real reason for performing the very first oil change at 800-1,000 mile mark. I did the very first oil change on my 2018 Toyota Rav4 at 2,250 miles and did not like the color of it and have discarded the oil filter before examining it. Thanks again and keep up with good work.
Great video I'm glad that I subscribed to your Channel, I like how you explain step by step in detail. I'm not a mechanic but I believe that I could do it. Keep up the good work
I cut 7 inch access hole in my 2021 tundra skid plate so I do not have to remove each oil change. Very smart to change the oil at 1000 miles ie remove all the break In debris. I just ordered the fumoto valve for my drain plug with the 8 1/2 quartz draining the flow was too aggressive causing splashing in my pan. This also enabled me to use a tube with the fumoto valve to drain into a five gallon drain oil jug. And a Motiv x filter housing drain insert
Thank you for taking such good care of that customers truck. Its so rare to find anyone who cares these days. Took are brand new Lexus for its first oil change and they didn't bother to wipe off anything. They also said they did a 10 point inspection and lied about rotating the tires. its sad to the state of our country and how little anyone cares anymore. I will be changing my own oil and rotating my tires myself from now on. i didn't spend $55,000 for some under trained hack to screw up my new car. Thank God I have the skills and time to do it myself I'll be saving money and know its done right! They wanted $89.00 to rotate the tires and $101.00 to change the oil. Screw them!
You’re a very good mechanic and person was wondering I use Eneos 0w20 full synthetic in myTundra 2021 heard Eneos was better than Toyota oil.what you think? Thanks
I have a 2014 Tundra with a 5.7 engine and it has 203k. I have done every oil change (refused the free ones) and I had no clue the filter housing drain adapter snapped into place like it did. I would just press it in a little bit and drain what I could. But then when I took the whole housing off it was still an oily mess. The old saying - you learn something everyday. Thanks for this excellent channel.
Sometimes that drain is hard to snap in. A good tip is to take an empty liquor bottle. Like a 750ml empty bottle. place that drain on top of the bottle with the drain in the mouth of the bottle and push it up in there. Oil drains into the bottle. Boom. No mess. Using a bottle like that gives you a bit more leverage.
I agree with you about the little filter housing drain. You did it to show everyone plus also to be nice to the new baby just shy of a thousand miles. I bet the owner was very antsy to get it all out. Could not wait. I think techs not only want to beat the flat rate time but also feel the more things they touch, the more things that could break. So touch as little as possible. But some dealers will still charge you.
What a lot of other channels do when using the power tools is one of three things mostly. One is fast forward through the removal only of the fastener and regular speed again when it is out or if you are doing several, fast forward through all of them. Another thing is more advanced but he will use a very short clip of each fastener. Like a tiny fraction of a second on east fastener. I think that was something Eric the car guy did. Third is kind of lazy editing but just cut out the use of the impact or electric ratchet and come back. It doesn't look as good as keeping it all in and using hand tools but for your own comfort of you don't know how to speed up a clip, maybe it's a last option. A big sheet metal like that really would reverberate like a drum! Thanks for thinking of us.
Funny to see people making comments about the new more environmentally friendly housing element design that most hate and despise. This year the Camry actually just went back to spin on can. I remember decades before they came out with that system my father saying how he could design just the paper and save the metal. He never cases in on the idea. I also thought about backpacks with wheels by using a folding luggage carrier rack. Guess I missed that too but this is an auto channel.
WOW, I don't notice anything under the hood different in 13 years from my 2008 5.7 Tundra. Even the oil condition looks the same on my 6 month, with only 500 to 800 miles, oil changes from my abusive short 2-4 mile trips. Engine temperature only gets to normal operating temperature for a short time on the return trip from the store in winter.
that was done at 900 miles (unnecessary change) as toyota recommends 3-5K miles conventional oil and 7.5-10K synthetic. If it was done at 5000 or 10,000 miles would definitely more black
@@stuh7049 That's about the range that I do. Or about 1 year, whichever comes first. Still, given the condition of the oil I wonder if it would be worth it to change it more often.
My dealer said to go 10k between changes on my '21 Tundra... needless to say, I'll stick with the vehicles service indicator which just came on after exactly 5k... the oil was already contaminated, there's no way I will ever go 10k between oil changes. Not only that, they forgot to put the small o-ring on that filter drain plug, I'm surprised it didn't leak.
If I were the owner of that I would invest in a TRD PRO front Skid Plate so that you don't have to pull that whole skid plate down every time you have to change the oil. I have TRD PRO and it is so much quicker and easier due to that.
I heard a little suction when you pulled the dipstick! Funny. First time. Wish you would have saved the element for a close up to check for any small metal glitter in the paper! She is doing good by taking the initial production contaminants out. Did the oil smell like gas? Many owners have wait first change smells like gasoline from the factory. That cap had a tiny bit oh white it appeared like, on the lip/collar of the fill cap. Not the milkshake of bad head. Just condensation of the highest point in the engine. Smart design Toyota. Otherwise it would have happened inside a baffle in a valve cover or something that was the highest oil point in the crankcase.
You are definitely on point. What is hiding and where exactly does it start. Will Marvel stop deposits from sticking in the top of the engine? Or is the magic in the newer thinner oils?
It is always interesting to see that we have come full circle with car oil filters. Cartridges were the thing decades ago , then came the spin on, and now the cartridge is commonplace once again.
Make another circle. The 22 Camry is what consumers want now because they're saving money, doing their own changes, and everyone except the biggest car geeks absolutely hates playing around with the housing
Try doing an oil change on a 18’ GMC 2500 on your back on the concrete with no jack and it was fkn 92° today. Gm engineers are screwed in the head. Decide to put the transmission mount right in front of the oil Pan with the exhaust in your face. Makes for a good days work🤣🤣
@@MAN-hk9wq The beauty of the 4.6 and 5.7 Tundras is their 7.5 litre oil capacity. Once you pull the drain plug, all that thin, warm oil comes out sideways with such an urgency, you hafta hold and constantly move the oil pan around to minimize the oil stains you'll leave on your concrete or interlocking brick or whatever. Then, the beyond-fussy oil filter housing is more than two feet away from the drain hole so you need a second oil drain pan just for that. Then there's fussing with the eight fasteners securing that undercover just to get at that oil filter. Then, the only tool that works to remove it, without damaging anything, is that beefy Lisle Toyota filter socket thing. I could go on....
@@dadgarage7966 suggest you try to make friends with a local business that throws away large cardboard boxes and set it down before an oil change. Old newspaper works also but not as much on a windy day or with a gravely area. The knees and back isn't as cushioned as with cardboard.
@@MAN-hk9wq must agree with you on GM products. They need to put each and every one of them in a mechanic and teardown class of their own designs. All that brainpower but total lack of common sense. No matter how hard they make the ability to repair, people will still try to do the repair no matter how much they want us to just buy a whole nother one
@@LAactor In my area, we have what's called a "supermarket". It frequently puts very large pieces of cardboard near the exit for whoever wants them so that's very good advice. However, I sold my 2010 Tundra five years ago so it's a non-issue.
I can't use the drain adapter on mine. Whoever worked on the truck before I got it put it on there way too tight. No need for an oil filter wrench on mine the 3/8 wrench spins the whole cartridge off.
@@carnold.knowledge Not at all. I have a '21 and just changed it for the first time ( Toyota Service was free for the first two years) and it took exactly 8.5qts...
If you really love your vehicle and if you want to keep it for a long time do it every 5000 miles or sooner. Oil is cheap. It is not in the manufacturer's interest that we drive vehicles for a long time.
Every engine and driving style allows for a variable in oil change intervals. The only way to know for sure is to perform oil analysis. I ran my 5.7 300k miles on 10k. Mile intervals with semi synthetic. No issues. But again I performed an oil analysis to make sure my truck was ok with 10k mile intervals. I did the analysis one time around 60k miles and Blackstone told me I could go further no problem. I stayed at 10k, which for me is every 90-120 days.
If they had an actual spin on filter this would be one of the easiest oil changes ever ! But Toyota likes to add stupid spin on filter crap that everyone hates
My truck would vibrate with other oils I’ve tried everything, some oils would get blacker faster as well even tho I would use good filters like WIX XP I don’t really like OEM filters they are crap in my opinion. So when I finally got to find Amsoil I was like eh let me try it I did a engine flush with Amsoil and added Amsoil signature series and Amsoil filter my truck got so silent and ran so smooth and I also felt like it just was stronger. Story on my Camry 2017 I got it 0 miles new and I always used only OEM fluids and filters but when it hit 100k miles, we’ll for a 100k miles I always had a rattle on start up and when I finally switched it up to Amsoil I never again heard that rattle and compared filters and Amsoil just makes very high quality filters and oil of course! It’s definitely worth the try I’m never using anything else but Amsoil!
@@cartap22 I always use the most expensive synthetic oils on my Toyota vehicles. I started using Amsoil two years ago but I would never ever, ever go 15 000 miles with any oil (even if it's for some reason custom-made only for me by the best experts in the oil industry). The main purpose of motor oil is to lubricate the engine parts, help cool the engine, and clean the engine. If I have only two options, either to use "the best" motor oil but prolong oil service or use "average" motor oil and replace motor oil and oil filter every 3500 miles, I would rather go for short oil replacement intervals. The only way to dump garbage from your engine is to replace the oil.
There's a vacuum in the engine? Really? So are you saying if you had a vacuum gauge hooked up you'd get a reading? I don't think so. LOL Why do you call the plastic "service pipe" used to drain the filter housing an adapter? I can't find a definition for "adapter" that describes the function for this... The instructions on the oil filter box call it a "service pipe".
Wow, I would have never thought to change at 1000 miles. Kinda scary that I let Toyota do it at 10k miles. I don't like ToyotaCare, and will do all of my first 25k mile checks on my next new vehicle.
Agree but i think the first oil change on most engines tends to pick up the most minor engine/metal shavings post assembly. I know on my Honda motorcycle first oil change recommendation is 600 miles (break in period) then you go to the 4000 mile change interval.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q how will the engine not break in properly if you change the oil early? If anything it's good to change the oil earlier. You drain out the worn oil and it's contaminants and put new oil in
Yeah 2yrs or 25k miles. I bought one slightly used and got the oil changed just before the two years was up but they'd only changed the oil once in 15,995k of driving according to the vehicle history...they do 10k intervals between changes. They put a sticker in the window to change at 25995 but my service needed message came on after exactly 5k miles which is the schedule I will stick to.
