I bought the TRD Pro Skid Plate from my local dealer in Jackson MS to install on a 2024 TRD ORP Premium. The bolts that came with it, along with the pre-installed spacers went on with no problem. No issues. I used the bolts supplied with the Skid plate. I did not use the bolts I removed from the old black steel TRD ORP skid plate. Easy as pie. No issues. A little anti seize on the bolts and torqued to 22 ft-lbs. Perfect.

@kelsyer4825 3 года назад

Awesome video! When you get to 15k miles on your 4Runner, I would love a propeller shaft lubrication video (if you feel so inclined). There are other videos out there, but none are anywhere your near the standard of your videos. Your explanations and videos are excellent, keep it up!

@TheVintageEngineer 3 года назад

That Motivix filter tool is the best one made for the Toyota’s. It’s forged unlike the other stamped models. I’ve got it for my sienna and also got there threaded funnel that threads into the oil cap threading so no more funnels falling over when pouring.

@JasonExplainsThings 3 года назад

Nice! Good idea on the funnel.

Jason! I just wanted to say Thank You! I was always curious about doing my own oil changes and you gave me the confidence to go for it! So I’m happy to say I just completed my oil change for my 2020 4Runner. I even upgraded my oil filter housing like you did! Huge feeling of accomplishment! Super excited to do a oil change on my 14 Tundra in the near future!

@WillM-w8v 14 дней назад

Hey DrJWR1… I just completed it in about an hour. My driveway is pitched so I was able to drive up on ramps until it was level. That skid would have been a “pita” if I hadn’t created space under the front. That had to have been your issue. My torque wrench crapped out, so I simply marked the filter housing and put it right back to that point. It actually stopped right there when I tightened it. Put just shy of 6.5 quarts of pennzoil platinum in it to account for any residual. That frigin dipstick is difficult to read, so I dragged my fingers down it until they were wet. No leaks, so all is well.

@MCraven10 3 года назад

Good video....but not the "best". I would add the torque spec for the filter housing (18 ft lbs) and the torque spec for the filter housing drain plug (10 ft lbs). Also, PLEASE PEOPLE don't use a tap to install the TRD skid plate! The threads are there, they're just filled with gunk from manufacturing. If you're a gun owner, use a bore brush (I used a .38 special bore brush) and some gun solvent and run it through the holes where the aft bolts go a few times to get the threads good and clean. Now the bolts will go in like butter, I guarantee it. For the love of all things holy don't go tapping new threads in your brand new truck! Also, you overfilled the oil. Your dipstick is showing that you are in the "excessive" area (ref: pg, 410 of 2021 4Runner Owner's Manual). Lastly, the plastic filter housing is totally fine, especially when using the latest version of the Motivx tool that doesn't even touch the tabs. Sorry for busting your chops a little but people need to know the correct way to do maintenance, not the RU-vid way.

Howdy from Palouse, WA! Great video! I have a 2019 SR5 4Runner and ran out of the free dealer oil changes. Took it back to them for the last oil change in January and they charged me $106 and didn't even top off fluids, or vacuum, or any of the other perks normal oil change places do. So, got in my OEM filter cartridge and Mobil 1 this week and started looking at videos. Yours is the best and I will be ordering the new metal housing and tool.

@JasonExplainsThings 3 года назад

Thanks man!

@treyveston7965 3 года назад

Finally got my metal filter housing in from Japan and changed the oil today. Used my new Motiv filter tool, and it worked great! But, I did use Mobil 1 in 5w-20, which is a tiny bit higher viscosity, but in the summer, it makes me feel better. Fun Fact: 4Runners sold in Puerto Rico use 10w-30.

@JasonExplainsThings 3 года назад

Nice! No judgement on oil. I'm going with Kirkland for now because it's such a good deal, but it's all good. I actually stocked up on the stuff in case it goes away so I'm good on oil changes for a while.

@carlovanrijk4039 2 года назад

@@JasonExplainsThings I drive a ‘17 Honda Civic…obviously a much different vehicle than a 4-Runner. But I used the Kirkland synthetic 0W - 20 for a 7K mile oci. Sent a sample off to Blackstone Labs, and the report came back with flying colors - low wear metals and additive package still intact. They said I COULD extend it out to 10K miles, but I’ll stick with 7K. 👍🏼

@emmanuelmatos8942 2 года назад

Metal filter housing for the oil filter is a must and it should be upgraded. Now, 5th Gen 4runners sold in Puerto Rico still use 0W-20. I also live in Puerto Rico and I would be very skeptical of permanently changing the weight of the oil on this engine. Now, we will never experience a 32⁰F or colder weather in Puerto Rico but Toyota prefers the 0W and suggests the usage of 5W as an alternative in case there is no 0W available and Toyota also recommends switching back to the 0W when it's immediately available. Toyota designed this motor and they know whats good for it. At least I will not deviate from their instructions, unless a Toyota TB is sent out and mandates this change for us in Puerto Rico.

Your video about the TRD skid plate saved me time and problems as I could not figure out why the brand new TRD bolt kit would only screw in about 1/4 way and then get very tight. After seeing your video, I tapped the threads and no problem! FYI when tapping all 4 holes metal was being cut which tells me the threads are not cut all the way through for 10 x 1.25 bolt.

This video was a huge help, along with Jason‘s other videos, to get me started on the very first oil change for my 2024 4Runner. I ran into a snag I wonder if anybody else has observed: the tabs for the hanger for the front skid plate. The driver’s side came off the frame just fine, I never could get the passenger’s side to let go and I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t letting go. I don’t have a lift, I was working with jackstands, so, the skid plate was really in my way. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

@JasonExplainsThings 3 месяца назад

So it’s just a hook if I remember correctly. Should just be able to lift slightly and it comes off.

It did on the driver’s side. It did not on the passenger’s side.

@somethingawesome9547 2 года назад

Thank you for linking all your parts/tools. I will be buying them. I live in an apartment and don't have a solo garage to store a wide array of tools. So I need to try to avoid having tool "bloat" by sticking to only the minimum needed tools. I have a storage room but I just can't store a large variety of tools. I think just the tools to do transmission fluid and engine oil will be adequate for me.

@bluelineoffroad 2 года назад

Great video! I actually didn't know that you must extend the tapping in order to install a TRD skidplate. It might be good to explain that the part number for the oil cap housing does not indicate that it fits the 5th Gen 4Runner. The reason for that is because of the center tube that you must exchange with your plastic housing. Other than that, it's the same.

@JasonExplainsThings 2 года назад

Exactly.

I do that with spin on filters yes, but this one has a hole in it until the installation is finished. I guess you could drizzle oil on it. Seems unnecessary and messy.

@markjones2973 11 месяцев назад

Great video, thank you , doing it yourself is always best. For the first oil change, I recommend 1000 miles if you plan to keep you 4Runner forever. After that I do mine every 3500 miles, changing the filter every other oil change up to 25K miles after that I change the oil every 4-5K miles. Oil is cheap and this will extend the life of your motor exponentially. I NEVER leave the oil fill cap off while I am working on the truck, debris or something larger could fall inside the motor, especially if you have other people or children around. Just loosen the cap to allow the oil to drain out. Ideally, you want the car to be as level as possible so jacking up only the front of the vehicle may leave some old oil in the pan. For the first few oil changes I went all out and purchased genuine Toyota oil at my local dealer. I always fee great knowing I have new oil in my engine!

I know there are more expensive options out there so I wanted to let you know that when I did my first oil and filter change on my 4Runner this weekend, I didn't realize that my oil filter wrenches were too big and wouldn't work. There was a breif panic as this was a weekend and I thought I'd need some special service tool but I tried the local Auto Zone. Not only did the have a wrench but they also had the metal filter housing so I got both...for $33.11 with tax. Don't spend the $25 plus on the MotivX(?) wrench. The $7 Auto Zone wrench is fine. $33.11 FOR BOTH! Re: Paul Walker, God took him for speed driving lessons. On Fridays, they have stock car races.

I think there’s a good reason why Toyota used plastic. Aluminum threaded into aluminum can cause problems later on. Aluminum may not rust but it certainly corrodes. People that snap the tabs off aren’t using the proper removal tool.

@JasonExplainsThings 2 года назад

Yeah there are likely pluses and minuses to both. There are a lot of forum posts of people snapping these which is why I decided to change mine. The dealer also did the 10k service that's included with purchase and didn't voice any concerns. With the proper tool you're likely good with either. And as long as your skid plate is intact it's well protected.

Great video, however the two main products featured in the video (oil filter cap, and motivx wrench) say they don't it the 2020 4runner trd offroad (which i assume is the same fitment as your 2021). If they are the exact products you used i guess i'll have to just take your word for it and go against Amazon's recommendation/caution

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Yeah they definitely will work. The engine is the same in all 5th Gen 4Runners (2010-2023).

I was using a impact getting my oil filter off….. broke a piece off, didn’t realize there is a hole, until I start my engine….. not a good day lol

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Oh man! Yeah, no power tools taking the filter off or on... on any car.

@Faknm Год назад

@@JasonExplainsThings 😂😂😂 yeah, I got no choice, God know how much the dealer service cranked it 😂😂😂 You video is very help, that’s my first oil change, if I pay attention on the broken piece, it would be perfect one 😂😂😂

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

I've been there. That's why I do this stuff myself. Dealers have cranked them on too hard... or left them loose. DIY!

You still using the Kirkland oil on this 4Runner?

@JasonExplainsThings 9 месяцев назад

That and Havoline Motor Oil PRO-DS Full Synthetic. They started as a channel sponsor back in early 2022.

Great info. Thanks. What was the reason for the tapping extension for the trd skid plate? I have that skid plate on my ORP. Do I need to modify it to fit the metal oil filter housing?

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Nope, you’re fine. The tap was more for folks that are trying to add the TRD skid plate. Sometimes the back bolts don’t want to go in all the way.

@anilbouri1485 Год назад

@@JasonExplainsThings thanks. You seem like a 4Runner expert. Do you know if there is a top speed recommended when in 4HI?

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Check the owners manual. I believe it's 50-55 MPH. trail4runner.com/2018/01/30/5th-gen-4runner-off-road-features/

can i put a 2018 trd pro skid plate on my 2011 T4R?? SR5. like your vids, thanks Steve

@JasonExplainsThings 2 года назад

I’d check part numbers and such, but I believe so. The only thing I know for sure is it doesn’t fit with KDSS.

Hi jason, we are looking at buying a 4runner, but want to do our own maintenance, is this possible on the newer models? '21/'22/etc. Thanks!

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Yep. It’s all the same and will be till the next generation comes out.

Does the 2 spacers on the front of the skid plate mount inside the member brace holes ? ... Thanks

Been changing every 5000 miles for ages, even with longer recommended intervals. You can easily tell when it's due by looking at the odometer. No mental calculations. My first 3 changes on 2023 4R TRD Pro were at 500, 1500, and 5000. If I was the only driver with no scheduling conflicts, I'd have added a couple more in there.

What are the tq spec on the oil cap

@michaelpotestio7261 Год назад

Hey! I love your video thoroughly. I have a question about your torque specs for the oil filter housing. You list 22 but Toyota lists it at 18 for the plastic and the metal housing. Where are you getting 22 from? Thanks!

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Weird, searching it again most say 18. Could've have also been a typo. I'm sure anything in that range is fine... just don't over-tighten.

@stevemoore1148 10 месяцев назад

Clearly in the video you over torqued the filter housing. You should stop pulling on a torque wrench when it clicks 😂

@franciscokalerox 2 года назад

The oil wrench on the link looks different from the one you are using

@JasonExplainsThings 2 года назад

Yeah I think they changed it since I made this video. They commented previously that they were coming out with a new model.

@fixittony Год назад

I have a vacuum oil extractor. I hook it up to my air compressor. Could I use that same extractor for the 4 Runner? Unfortunately looks like a still have to crawl underneath for the oil filter. Are you happy with the Mann filters?

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Yes, you still would need to crawl under the truck and remove the skid plate to do the oil filter. But extractors work great. I used them exclusively on my VW GTI I used to drive... but the oil filter was on the top of the engine.

@JasonExplainsThings Год назад

Mann Filters... I've heard only good things. They made the OEM filters for my VW so I'm sure they're good. For the Toyota's, I buy OEM filters because they're good and very affordable. I actually buy them in bulk. I have enough oil filters now to get my 4Runner and Tacoma to 70k miles.

@bkproductions3569 2 года назад

I bought a 5th gen with 205k miles,is that Costco brand recommended still? Thx

@JasonExplainsThings 2 года назад

Definitely, so far so good. My research made it seem like a good option. I’ll be due for another oil change probably in December.

@keithterry2051 3 года назад

Love your videos Jason! Thinking about switching to the TRD Pro skid plate (Also watched your video on that)....How easy or hard is it to remove and reattach for oil changes? The stock on is a beast and is a rusty mess being in Wisconsin

@JasonExplainsThings 3 года назад

Hi Keith! It's not bad at all. Just 4 bolts. After I tapped the threads and applied anti-seize to the bolts its really easy.
