I just purchased 2009 1.8L Corolla for my daughter, the last few videos have been perfect for me to learn how to work on her car, thanks! Now I just need a lift in my garage!
i use a small floor jack and jack stands , be aware of that retaining clip that keeps filter from unscrewing , get the filter cap that fits on housing and be careful !!!
So many people overtighten the drain plug and the filter cap. The plug only needs to be tightened to the point where the bolt stretches into elastic deformation and applies enough stretch and friction onto the threads to prevent loosening. It is NOT much torque. Tightening to plastic deformation ruins the threads and they will come out eventually. Same for lug nuts/bolts. The cap seals on that O-ring. These are not pipe threads. 😸😸😸 The cap only needs a small snugging torque and that's it. The O-ring seals it, and the elastic deformation of the threads keeps the cap in place. I've seen so many overtightened like this one, and it will eventually crack the cap and then you have a pressurized oil leak. 🙀 Not good. When I bought my 2012 Corolla used, I replaced that oil filter cap with a brand new one from the dealer because there's no way to know who abused it in the past and how close it was to breaking with further use. It was not expensive. I highly recommend replacing it anyway after 60-75k miles even if you are the first and only owner and did all the oil changes properly from change #1. It's good, cheap insurance!
The camera depth of field at 8:40 has everything behind you in clear focus when you are showing the filter and O Ring because the focus is setting on the distance back there where there is not any motion of objects. That leaves you and the item we need to look at in a blur. Manually setting it to close range will overcome this.
That plastic oil filter canister was the worst design on the whole car. Everything else was actually well engineered. I had a lot of trouble getting that filter off and finally found a trick. Use one of those specific wrenches like you showed, and tap/hit the handle of the ratchet with a rubber mallet. This will slowly and gently break it loose. It's like a miracle it happened so easily. Unfortunately the first time I changed it I also put the o-ring in the 1st groove and after all was done and I cranked up the car, oil sprayed out all up under my engine, bottom of car and the ground. It was very scary until I figured out what I had done. Of course I immediately shut off the car and fixed that issue and I had lost so much oil I had to put I think 3 more quarts back in.
@@SaltGrains_Fready There is but the spring inside isn't up to Toyota spec. I watched a video of a top notch Toyota tech and he suggested only using OEM Toyota plastic canisters. He said aftermarket plastic canisters won't last long, but I do have one on mine and it's lasted for many years and still going. Since tightening it to a reasonable level, I've had no trouble getting it back off, and it's no big deal.
@@joshhemingway7294Guess you didn't read the comment properly, he was talking about the o-ring on the dipstick not the o-ring on the filter canister!😜
Nice job sir 👍🏻. Btw, next empty bottle of washer fluid, save the cap as it will fit on the drain neck of your oil catch pan. Used it on mine, same one. 😁
Thank you for showing the maintenance page at 0:25 to correct some people who like to argue online about correct procedures. Armchair mechanics think they know everything after watching some videos and guessing the rest of the answer
13:40, A few years ago I found a great Cleaner and Degreaser I like to use on plastic and rubber parts like engine cover, engine oil filler cap, brake fluid cap, engine air filter cover and other greasy automotive parts and tools. It is a WD-40 Specialist Cleaner & Degreaser. It is safe for use on aluminium, chrome, glass, plastic, rubber, stainless steel, leather, paint and much more. It is water-based biodegradable.
Thanks for the video. I recently purchased a 2010 tc s. Going to have to get the fiter wrench. And sure would be nice to have a fancy funnel. I bought Castrol, high mileage synthetic, 0-20 .a Wix brand oil filter.
I have a 2007 Toyota Camry LE 2.4L . It currently has 149,266 miles on it. It always had oil changes on time with conventional oil. My question is, I'm thinking of using 5w-20 full synthetic so do you think I should use that or keep using conventional especially with the milage on the car .. Thanks
What about those drain valves that some people replace the drain plug with? It seems that problems with these are few and far between. Of course the main concern is that they stick down farther than a standard drain plug and the car is low to the ground in the first place. Anyone have any experience with this?
I have a 2015 Corolla with the same oil filter and I hate that filter the first time I did the oil who ever put the filter on last over tighten it and it was a pain to get off and the cap was out of shape so I bought oem parts from a 2019 Corolla to converter it over to a good old canister style so much better now hahaha
Next time I change our oil I'm switching from the blue crush washers to s copper crush washer. Those blue ones are coming apart with part of it sticking to the oil pan and part of it sticking to the drainplug and I have to scrape it off both surfaces.
Thanks for the video. For future DIY, that oil filter housing has an oil drain plastic tool that comes with the oil filter and a small gasket that attaches to the drain channel and then the drain screw. And it seems that the owner of this Corolla has lost or miss placed. Take care.
My Corolla doesn't have the filter housing cap drain nipple. I don't think the 2ZR-FE came with one of those like some other Toyota cartridge filters did. The 2ZR-FE cartridge is horizontal as you can see. The cap has deep flats cut into the threads which align with the same cuts into the housing. When you loosen the cap and unscrew it, you just unscrew it barely all the way, and align the 2 flat spots. The oil drains out through those flat spots right down into the drain pan. Once the cartridge housing has been drained through those flats, you can unscrew the cap the rest of the way and there will be 0 leftover oil to splash and make a mess. The plastic drain thing you're talking about is for cartridges that are vertical, since this flat spot method won't work. The drain tap drains the cap out cleanly. Check out the 2ZR-FE cap to see those flat spots I'm referring to. 😎👍 My 2012 Corolla is very simple to drain because of them.
@@mannys9130 my 2009 Corolla 1.8, my 2017 4RUNNER 4.0 and my wife’s 2015 RAV4 all of them have the oil filter housing including the oil drain nipple. Yes the oil change without the housing it’s easier. I agree.
No it does not. The filter housing that is horizontal like this doesn't come with it. The canister would not even drain if it had one. Only Toyota filter housings that are placed vertically have them. Edit: the comment above addressed your comment already🤷♂️
I just purchased a 2010 Carrola from a dealership, and the air filter was very bad. Watching this great video, as it's my first Toyota, and ya things are so different. Got to purchase a T wrench for sure.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 Well he used to use Toyota Genuine filter and Toyota Genuine Motor Oil (TGMO) and now he uses some third-party filter and Costco oil
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤️ "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth...
That is an absolute stupid oil filter design, should be the normal steel screw in type. Ive bought a New Zealand model corolla 2009 , ill check if its the same as this, i hope not.

Never have I felt so relaxed watching a repair video thanks Sir!!
Thanks man, I just saw this to help myself with my first old change.
You saved me 120$ today😅
I feel so much better with fresh oil in my engine.. Ciao!

Everyone should buy one to have an extra one on hand anyways! That’s a good plan around 60-70k 👍 completely agree

IS there not a metal aftermarket upgrade to use in this ?

There is an OEM metal one get that, around 50 bucks get one
I also take a small dab of oil and lubricate the o-ring at the top of the dipstick to prevent future sticking of the dipstick.
Guess you didn’t pay attention, cuz he did exactly that😜

Great service, Peter. Ciao my friend.🇨🇦🇺🇸
you have nice way about you. I like the details you mention. great video.
The filter I bought came with O ring and one little ring. What is the little ring for?
Incredible video. Thank you!
Thanks for the professional video clip!
Thankyou once again. I have learned a lot from you.
Inflation is so high now that I buy 2-ply toilet paper and then separate it into 1-ply. LOL.
Do you still Subaru cars????

Synthetic is better for new or old cars.
When your owners manual states it can take 5w-20 for the temperatures in your area you sure can try synthetic as well.

Use a socket for the filter wrench, a coworker borrowed mine and returned it destroyed.
Corolla has a 2.4L engine? That is insane!
It’s one of Toyota’s few poorly designed engines. Burns oil like crazy.

Eneos oul!
Just get the ASSENMACHER TOY 640 TOYOTA LEXUS 64 MM 14 FLATS OIL FILTER SOCKET and be done with it.
Oil filters are always overtightened for some reason.
