Fabulous and complete video....Had to laugh though when you put that large pan down as a backstop to catch oil. Changed the oil in my wifes Jeep and didn't have that and paid the price....Pure genious....LOL
Got the same car. Biggest concern is the plastic housing breaking over time. Any idea if the metal ones they sell online would fit this? p/n 15620-31060 for oem
The 15620-31060 oil cap assembly you're referring to is used for the bigger YZZA1 filter..you'll find these on Tundas, Tacoma's, etc., and not the YZZA6 filter that this car utilizes. Part number for this specific housing is 15620-37010. I can't confirm if the 31060 would actually fit or not...but even if it did thread in, I wouldn't recommend on changing it out. As long as you're torquing this plastic housing to spec and being careful when removing it on oil change intervals, you shouldn't really have to much concern with it braking on you.
You're doing I fine job. I can tell you're being very thorough even though I'm only at the 5:23 mark in your video. However, I notice one problem at this point. The oil filter cap wrench you're using seems like one of the best tools for the job but that wrench says it will work for all Toyota engines with a cartridge oil filter. (I had one of those wrenches.) It will work but bear in mind that Toyota built engines that are smaller than 2.0 liters, like that 1.8 liter engine you have, have a smaller oil filter cap. So only the fluted part of the oil filter cap engages with the wrench. The lower part of the wrench where the slots are does not engage with the tabs on the oil filter cap. In fact there is usually a retaining clip that is located next to the oil filter cap that interferes with using that wrench but that retaining clip seems to be missing on your engine. Next time you change your oil look closely at the wrench and how it fits onto the oil filter cap while you have the oil filter cap off the engine. You should easily notice that the slots do not engage with the tabs on the oil filter cap but those slots simply overlap the tabs. Currently the absolute best oil filter cap wrench is the newly redesigned Motivx MX2320-US oil filter cap wrench. It is expensive at $24.95. it has no slots and will work with all Toyota built engines with a cartridge style filter. It engages firmly with the 14 flutes and is made in the USA with two kinds of aluminum to precisely 64.3 mm. It even works with a number of spin-on canister filters. You can find it on Amazon... www.amazon.com/stores/Motivx+Tools+LLC/page/35886ED8-3F90-42D1-A81F-E508A328A206?ref_=ast_bln I never use a tool to remove the o-ring and I've never used high mileage oil. You don't need it regardless of miles on the odometer unless your engine shows signs of wear and is consuming oil. I've put over 200,000 miles on a few cars and never needed it. You don't need tools to remove the o-ring ua-cam.com/video/3R1KMN1ys3A/v-deo.html Thumbs up 👍
This isn’t my vehicle, just a friend I did an oil change for. As far as the oil filter wrench, good insight. I didn’t look to deep into its fitment when I had it off or anything, it fit nice and snug and didn’t have any play. I had no issues with it, and easy access was key for me too. But that sounds like a nice wrench. And no, you don’t need a tool to remove the o-ring, hell you could do it by hand. I used that pick cause its easy, and as you see I got it off in two seconds. Really doesn’t matter, whatever you prefer.
Hello, thank you for this video, I only have one question in the case of my car, which is the same as yours, the filter is not the same, the thread is on the inside instead of towards the edge, I don't know why.
Its not my vehicle, but i still service it regularly. So if if ever comes up I will definitely be making a video, but can’t promise it any time soon lol
Can you show where exactly is the jack point on the front the vehicle? Perhaps a close up screenshot will do? The owners manual is quite vague about it. You also blocked the view with screenshot from the manual.
Appreciate the input. What’s weird though is, with the 17-18 Toyota iM if you look up oil filters from a parts source, like Autozone for example...it lists both cartridge style & spin on filters as options, and thats for both 2017 & 2018 it gives both filter style options. So it looked as though a 17 or 18 could still potentially come equipped with a cartridge style filter?
@@TheOriginalBeeCee In 2017 they started transitioning to the new style. So you will find some 2017's with both. By 2018 it was all the spin on type. It is sometimes confusing what the parts stores have for the iM, if they even have it listed at all.
@@davect01 got ya. That makes sense. Im not overly familiar with the platform, as I just performed the oil change on this car, it isn’t my vehicle. But good insight, I will have to change the title to 16-17 only.
This car didn’t have any protective plastic covering the service area if it wasn’t obvious from the video, so I wasn’t even aware there was any. But if its that deep to you there Mikey, go ahead and hit the dislike button.
Just got this car a few months ago. I wanted a manual but the gf convinced me just to get a auto smh. I like the car but I love my 91 accord 5-speed more 😂
This was great. Edited well. No filler. Clear and detailed directions.
Appreciate the comment 🙏🙏🙏

Lol 😆 I appreciate the comment!!
Thanks a lot, very clear instructions, great information about tools, parts and tack requirements.
I appreciate the comment! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the info. Garage wants $80 for an oil change now so I am going to do it myself for $32. Appreciate it!
Appreciate the comment 🙏
Oil, plus filter, plus the tools. It's still cheaper in the long run
Great job brother, thanks for all the info!
I appreciate that! Thank you!

You don't need tools to remove the o-ring

That sounds more like a statement than a question lol….but there were a few different designs with these cars.
Thanks for this video!
Was wondering if you knew how to replace the starter on this car? I can’t find a tutorial anywhere.
Its not my vehicle, but i still service it regularly. So if if ever comes up I will definitely be making a video, but can’t promise it any time soon lol
Did your car come with a splash guard/skid plate for the engine bay? I find it odd that it didn't come with it. Cheers!
This is actually not my car, just did a few jobs on it!
Helped a lot, thanks!
🙏🙏🙏

I pointed right at it @ 0:46 seconds
Hi. Just FYI, the filter type changed for the 2017-18 Toyota iM versus the Scion iM that you have there

How do you read the oil dip stick? I have 2018 toyota im and the way its designed gets oil all over the stick and i cant measure the oil level.
I am surprised it is not fully covered like Europe Corolla/Auris which is identical with hybrid option.
Mine is idk why it wasn't
Thanks! ✌️
🙏🙏🤙🤙
Thank you
🙏
You didn't mention anything about removing the protective plastic cover that shrouds the entirety of the service area.
This car didn’t have any protective plastic covering the service area if it wasn’t obvious from the video, so I wasn’t even aware there was any. But if its that deep to you there Mikey, go ahead and hit the dislike button.
3:07 thanks mate

I would choose the ‘91 Accord as well lol
#savethemanuals hahaha
Better when engine at work temperature
Is easy to removing
It was lol
