First car I bought the service tech stripped my oil drain pan plug. Ever since I've never had someone other than myself work on my vehicle. I would probably let this guy work on my truck.
Thats what a professional mechanic who work by honor looks like . Always does his best to send u on your way ready fir race day . Love the brake clean around oil filter
It's such a good thing you are doing- documenting your slow descent into madness on UA-cam, for future technicians that may choose this career path to know what lies ahead for them
I always install the bottom drain cover on the oil filter housing on the bench. This way I’m not fighting gravity with the o ring, I do a final tighten after the housing is reinstalled following filter and o ring change.
I have a 2020 Camry with a transverse mounted V6. Changing the rear plugs on that engine makes this look easy by comparison. There are times I miss my 1973 Chevrolet pickup with a straight six and three on the tree.
It was so refreshing for the first half of the video to be an empty shop with ZERO noise. Shops are naturally loud and this one is no different but it must have been lunch break at the start. Great job
This must be the "Director's Cut" extended version of the last two vids on this Tacoma. I remember that USMC medallion on the center console. This vid didn't have a counter for the number of "Very Good". 😊
A total pleasure to see this service, ty for the sneak peek a while ago on this beloved and well maintained car and now the longer 60,000 mile service. I bet it is always a delight for you to service something that shows the owners love and attention and most of all decent human forethought to make it clean for you to work on. TY mate loved it as I also love and care for my investment and in return it cares for me by being a joy to sit behind the wheel. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🚗🚗🚗💖💖💖💖
Where I work (which is not a dealership, BTW), we don't bother with draining the oil filter housing as you demonstrated; we just treat it as a standard filter and pull the whole thing off.
Hello young man I noticed your special tool, the hose. Liked it so that you don't accidentally drop the plug in the hole. I used my own special tool, a stripes bass rubber hose. I enjoyed watching your careful work on the well kept Tacoma. Thanks for sharing.
After cracking plugs loose always blow compressed air in to remove anything that may be down there in hole , most times there is corrosion on plug washer so when ya break it loose flakes sit down there and guess where it goes when ya remove plug if ya don't blow it out .
Thx, I need to change the spark plugs on my 2016 tacoma, seen other videos, your the easiest one without taken to many parts off especially the driver side....thx again...👍
I pull the 10 amp efi fuse in the fuse block in the engine bay and run it dry after a few cranks… then oil change…. Then crank, pump up oil pressure, put the fuse back in… then fire. It’s not absolutely necessary but I’ve had to fight chain slap in 150k plus vehicles on cold starts it then goes away. A small not widely known step.
I prefer the 4.0 V6 on my 2015 tacoma. Easier oil filter. Mine has 116k and is cleaner than that 2016. Do all maintenance my self. Also went to catholic school with nuns. Very good
CSW that's one sweet ride, I use to put the wheel lock and a box of Dunken Doughnuts in the passenger seat with a thank you note to my mechanic, that dude loved me. lol :)
Excellent job sir!! Even hittin the door mechanisms with some lithium grease. Above and beyond. If you were in southeast VA you’d be my Yota tech good sir!! Phenomenal job mechanican! God bless~
@@kampaiii I use WD40 Specialist White Lithium Grease on my door hinges on my 21 4Runner. Pretty much any white lithium grease will work honestly, but I prefer the spray and the WD40 has an angled straw or the spray if you fold the straw all the way down for larger areas.
@@kampaiii no worries, works great. Also works on the door lock actuators if you’ve got an older vehicle open the doors and spray all around and inside the actuators and move them with a screwdriver and open them back with the door handle. That’s the part of the door that locks onto the piece of steel on the door pillar of the car.
This is why I like modern 4 cyl engines, all of the plugs and coils are right on top of the engine. FWD V6's are easily the worst, you either have to rotate the engine forward (older GM) or remove the intake manifold (GM High Feature V6).
@@mikeeeeee555For my C-HR the manual wants the fluid changed at 60k miles. I personally would do it every 30k no matter what, so even if it was done on this truck at 30k it should be time to do it again now at 60k or for the first time if it hasnt been done at all.
@@RexenPrime you have a CVT, so it’s a different beast altogether. The maker of the transmission, Aisin, recommends 2year 25k-30k transmission fluid service. Everyone drives differently but I do a drain and refill at regular intervals since it’s easy enough and I expect to keep my 3ed gen taco for many years.
Thanks for the thorough walk-thru! I enjoyed your tips especially about replacing the spark-plugs with a hose! You did go pretty quick about the "diaelectric" grease (not sure how much you need or which surfaces needed it). And I'm curious about gapping the plugs. On other vehicles, I had to set the gap on the plugs before installing them. Is that no longer "a thing".
I have a question 🙋🏼♂️? So if that was a 60 thou k! When do you change all the other fluids? Trans, transfer case , dif .radiator fluid . Dam now I have to read the manual . Thanks
Great video! I am surprised the serpentine belt wasn't a part of this service. Please make a video showing how you replace the serpentine belt on this vehicle. Much appreciate it! Great channel, I've subscribed for more!
I think it's funny how northerners are amazed that there's still paint on the rear diff/axle, and leaf springs, etc.... I would hope so, on a 2016 model! lol. My 2008 Sequoia with 185k miles on it doesn't have a fraction of the rust that this thing has under it. It's nearly spotless.
Bro ur the first I have seen that didn’t have to remove all those hoses and brackets when doing the spark plugs on the left side 😂👍 by the way what tool was that you use look like a water hose installing the new plugs? Thanks man for sharing 😅
I think any customer who complains about how long it takes (or how much labor is charged) for servicing their vehicle should be shown a video like this. Obviously, some vehicles are easier to service than others, but no modern vehicle is as truly simple as the '77 Dodge Monaco I had in college.
When I had my 13 Tacoma and was on second spark plug change I had my mechanic nephew swap them for NGK IRIDIUM. The SA at our Toyota dealer told me the 4 litre would not run properly with IRIDIUM plugs...well guess what...it ran perfectly fine and IRIDIUM plugs should last 200 000 kilometres or even more. IRIDIUM may cost a bit more but the extended life is worth it and especially with engines that are hard to get at...like say a Subey Boxer engine for example.
Why new spark plugs at just 60k? The Denso Iridium factory plugs can last 120k or more (but I like to change them by then just so they don't get stuck). On a Tacoma at 60,000 miles, it would be better to change the rear diff fluid and the brake fluid if they want to put 300,000 miles on this Yota instead of changing the plugs at just 60,000 miles. Does Toyota officially recommend the plugs be changed at only 60,000?
@@KevinLopez-ev4hh Yeah but the manufacturer is weird. They tell us to only change oil at 10k but we should do it at 5k. And for spark plugs it's the opposite. The iridium Denso plug's definitely last longer than 60k
I put my wheel lock in the cup holder for a tire store, then they lost it after mounting the wheels back on. They said they would replace the wheel locks. That was several years ago. I'm glad I didn't hold my breath.
At 20:14 there appears to be electrical arcing just off centre in the area you had worked on on the drivers side. Any thougts on what I am seeing there? Thanks
First time ever I see the oil filter drain not stuck solid 😂. Mine never comes off in 12 years, it's like welded on, the canister is metal not plastic and I tried everything short of cutting it off 😂. Very good.
Yup, here is what you do, righted the little oiled filter drain bolt and you’ll get a small movement tk tighten it more, then back it out and it’ll come right off. Have had this issue on May Toyotas. Works every time.
@09:11 I notice you put the new cabin air filter in turned 90° from the direction of the old one. Why did you do that? (The old one had the stiff ridges on the sides; the new one you put with the stiff ridges on the front and back). Does it make no difference?
I dont even remove the silver plug on the oil filter housing anymore I just remove the housing replace the filter reinstall spray it down and call it a day, then again im on the ground doing this and just dont want an extra step lol
Would this be similar to a 150k mile service? I have a 2014 lexus is250 rwd and i know 150k is an important one, but I'm not sure what exactly needs to be done. I've heard mixed things about transmission fluid and coolants needing or not needing to be changed, but i don't want to pay for it if it's not needed.
I have a new 2022 off road . I am a high mileage driver and I'm at 30k now at 1 year old. I'm puzzled why plugs at 60K? Not being critical just curious. Are you specifically a Toyota tech? Meaning do you see alot of these trucks? Even the dealer is not changing plugs at 60k. I had 3 other Tacomas that ran very well with original plugs well over 100k. Those were 2.7's though. I watch all these vids online and I am completely confused about the service of these trucks. I do my own oil, engine and cab filters along with tire rotations. Always have. I just can't seem to get a straight answer on the fluids. Front Transfer case, rear diff, auto trans, coolant, power steering fluid and brake fluid. I plan on taking this truck deeper than I have in the past with regard to mileage. Can you share your thoughts on the fluid intervals I mentioned? I would appreciate your take on it.
@wisebar1 For the gen 3 v6 Tacoma’s the manual has 60k miles for spark plugs replace. I believe it’s for the dual injection (both port and direct) setup.
What, no spider joint grease, no PCV valve change, rear diff oil change, and no front diff and transfer case oil change? And at 60 k, I would be changing the transmission fluid as well. Regardless of what the manufacturer says, that needs to be change out. Unless you like to pay someone to replace the transmission later on.
I never understood either. It’s not a big deal to me but I prefer the old skool spin on filter. They do make retro kits for these Tacomas that will accept a commonly used traditional spin on filter for those that prefer it.
Quality old style filters cost more to manufacture, new kind is just paper plastic and O-rings, wish they made a conversion kit, could probably make one if you had the right specs.
I really am thinking of a life/trade change and learning how to become an automotive technician; is college really worth it anymore or should I work as an apprentice at my local Toyota and work my way up through a company?
It is. I recently did mine at the 44,000 mark. If you do it yourself use Ravenol oils. They're the exact chemical composition as the "secret" Toyota brand at about one-third of the cost.
The Technical Information System at Toyota wants the 4x4 fluid condition “inspected” every 30k miles. Change the fluid if towing, hauling, or “extreme” conditions. The only way to inspect the condition of the diff or transfer case oil is to drain it out.
@@zakremele3588 That’s what I did, Since my 2019 is just a 2WD, I had the rear differential and the transmission fluid changed around 35K. I’m a fanatic about fluid changes and maintenance so I usually do stuff earlier then the recommendations. I’ll be doing mine again around the 70k mark
You tightened the oil filter housing by the metal drain plug. So the next guy that tries to unscrew the metal drain will instead get the whole housing to spin, and have a massive mess. Thanks. Why I do everything myself and can't trust service techs for the most simple of jobs.
That industry needs more techs like yourself, that takes care when working on a customer’s vehicle.
First car I bought the service tech stripped my oil drain pan plug. Ever since I've never had someone other than myself work on my vehicle. I would probably let this guy work on my truck.

They should make an oil socket that has a bleed valve on it to control the dump.
Finally, we get the encore for the extended version of the few and far between times a customer is a good boi
As an owner of a 2nd gen, it baffles me why they redesigned the oil filter to be such a pain in the ass to change

The Technical Information System at Toyota wants the 4x4 fluid condition “inspected” every 30k miles. Change the fluid if towing, hauling, or “extreme” conditions. The only way to inspect the condition of the diff or transfer case oil is to drain it out.
Man you would go crazy if you seen under my 2005 with 180k miles. Even more immaculate than this one.
Engineers say "ah so American technician..we make trouble for you at every opportunity"...lol
I have an 06 and that driver's side front coil was a real bitch to put back to connect.
Pull hard ;! Come easy;!🤣
Aren’t gear oils due to be changed around the 60k mark?
That's what my maintenance schedule says for my 18 taco with manual transmission. Front and rear diff, transfer case, and transmission
@@zakremele3588 That’s what I did, Since my 2019 is just a 2WD, I had the rear differential and the transmission fluid changed around 35K. I’m a fanatic about fluid changes and maintenance so I usually do stuff earlier then the recommendations. I’ll be doing mine again around the 70k mark
You tightened the oil filter housing by the metal drain plug. So the next guy that tries to unscrew the metal drain will instead get the whole housing to spin, and have a massive mess. Thanks. Why I do everything myself and can't trust service techs for the most simple of jobs.
ya its only suppose have 8 ft lbs on it lol. , , I don't even use that plug its a waste of time , just pull canister and drain er
Wow, didn’t see you add any oil!!
What did you use to lube the hinges at the end? Thanks
