I always use Super tech and a good filter, I will not use a Fram filter because they're quality has went to hell, I have had Fram canisters develop pinholes.
@@robertvance1873 same here- supertech full synthetic and i always use the nissan oil filters and change out the factory drain plug washer each time. the only fram products i will buy are their reboxed factory air filters- for my daihatsu they sell the nippondenso air filters- but open up and make sure its not one of those cheap orange foam things BEFORE you buy....
I used to take our vehicles to the dealership for oil changes. One day, I had an appointment at 3:30pm. I didn't get out of there until closer to 5:00. Needless to say, I was madder than a hornet. I told the service manager, I could've driven to a nearby town about 25 miles away, had my oil changed, came back and started fixing supper by the time they got me in and out. I told him I was going to learn how to do it and change it myself. That was 2013, and I've had my oil changed maybe once since then because it was freezing cold outside. For the oil I use, I can do two changes for the price of one at a grease shop. DIY is the only way to go.
Now learn how to change brake pads and other small jobs. Work your way up to more time consuming jobs. UA-cam is a great resource to learn most things. You'd be surprised how much money you can save with a Saturday afternoon, a stool, some tools, maybe a cold beverage and the feeling of a job well done. 😎
Having to take the skid plate off is the reason I take my vehicle in; too much of a hassle. I CAN do it, I choose NOT to. 90 minutes for an oil change is NO big deal, you're not their only customer.
Ive used Walmart Supertech for over 20 years. No problems. Taken the head off one engine, clean as a whistle. Changing your oil at intervals is whats necessary, not expensive oil. Supertech oil comes from one of the big 5. They must meet specifications. Ask any reputable mechanic about Supertech oil. As for oil filters, get a good oil filter. Ive used Fram for years. I agree with Scotty, use the 10k oil filter. But mobile one, purolater and bosch are excellent.
I've used Wally Wurld's Super Tech filters for years. Several comparisons have shown Super Tech filters are a good buy. They work as well as the "Premium" filters.
Fram filters are not good. Their best oil filter needs to run at higher pressure to filter properly. And it's not good for your engine to have higher oil pressure. Can you say oil leak?
I’ve changed my own oil on multiple different vehicles for years. Last time I changed the oil on my F350, I didn’t realize the gasket on the old oil filter stayed stuck to the vehicle. Needless to say, that was a mess on startup. I won’t overlook that again!
The plastic filter housing is known to crack. I converted mine to the cast aluminum housing offered on Lexus. Also the is a special drain tool that comes with the filter so you can drain the housing before removing it.
Less mess to use the oil filter plastic tool that comes in the filter box. Drain the filter and avoid the oil spill during the removal of the filer. And don't forget to change the rubber O-rings on the case.
I use the Walmart supertech full synthetic 20,000 mile oil because it’s got a good additive package and I usually go about 6000 at the most 6500 miles on an oil change and I’ve used this Walmart oil for about 15 years and it’s done right by me and I like the price
I would not dip the new filter in dirty oil, I myself use my finger dip it in some clean oil and then lubricate the seal on the oil filter, but that's just me
one thing you sure as hell don't want to do is put off your transmission service- especially if its a CVT. always use the factory recommended fluid for that CVT AND I SERVICE MINE EVERY 30k- NO exceptions.
At least put one of those torque beepers which cost 26 bucks on the business end of your breaker bar. My Honda has a factory magnesium oil pan that is easy to strip. The factory spec is just 33 lb-ft, so a torque indicator wrench is definitely called for.
@@shaunfoster4068 From 1968-72 I did 500 oil changes, crush washers were not used yet. However strip plugs were common because oil pan threads were stripped by monkeys with breaker bars. Nothing worse than having hot oil spraying 3 directions at once!
Walmart SuperTech is even cheaper. I am surprised you'd spring for Pennzoil, since you have said previously that any oil that is certified will perform as well as any other.
While you're waiting for the oil to drain, each time, spray all the rubber bellows with tire foam. The silicone(?) Will keep these pliable for the life of the vehicle 😁 Ed c
I’ve never used a breaker bar to install a drain plug. I understand that if the last oil change someone used a breaker bar (don’t do this) you may need it to get it off, but put it away after this.
My Subaru finally started leaking from the old crush washer use. Went years and easily more than 6-7 changes at 5k miles each interval with the same crush washer until a leak occured.
you don't know for sure what the old oil may have in it- contamination can swell the seal or even make it split- so its a good idea to follow the instructions on the filter or its box.
Hey Scotty - in one of your previous videos you recommended filling the new oil filter before installing. I think you should continue with that suggestion. There is also a drain plug on the bottom of the Toyota filter housing to allow you to drain the housing and create less of a mess. They provide both O-rings with the new filter. Changing oil every 5K is the key, as long as it's a API certified oil of proper grade under normal use. Keep up the good work. I recommend your videos to all my friends and family.
its a little over 196 oz.- do you guys not know how a calculator works/ know your US/metric equivalents? i know there's a calculator in your phones.....
I use Ford Mo Co motor oil because my high school auto shop teacher told me it's the best oil to use because it was made to hold those sheety Ford engines together.
Ford got some things right. Every red atf except for Chrysler, is Ford Mercon V, the best fluid ever, proof being everyone else started using it, of course making up their own name, like Toyota WS.
2002 Forde 4.0L V6, 297,000 miles. Has seen nothing but WalMart lube shop oil changes, with a FRAM filter in it's life. (Wife works in thjat WalMart). Every m3,000 since new. Perfect. No leaks, burns zero oil.
i stopped buying domestic cars 50 years ago- and i used to sell goodwrench parts back in the 70's. i had a 75 2-liter vega when i was a kid - it was and still is a great car- my first cousin has it now.
I have used Walmart super teck full synthetic for many years. Also used to work for a place with about a dozen vehicles. Super teck always. No problems and always the best price.
Totally agree with Scotty on this video. I’ve used Mobil 1, Castrol, Valvoline, etc. synthetic oils from Walmart along with Fram and other oil filters and never had any issues. Since I am running synthetic’s I will normally go to around 8,000 miles before changing it. Typically keep my cars to between 200,000 - 240,000 miles and have never had to get rid of one because the engine had issues wear issues, no oil burning, etc. Vehicles have included everything from a Camry, to Mustang GT and turbocharged engines. The turbo engine oils do get changed at the recommend times however. Those high lift Daytona jacks are awesome BTW!
Fram filters are fine. And super tech oil for me. I run tough guards on my frontier, wife’s outback, dads cx9 and moms a3. Along with my merc 150. Never had an issue
All the Fram haters, we have never ever seen a fram oil filter fail due to the filter. Failures of any Oil filter 90% of the time is improper installation. 3rd generation mechanic and engine builder.
Just about every independent mechanic I’ve met goes with Wix filters. Hard to say if Wix is really good at marketing or they’re truly the best. I’ve used Fram and Wix and both seemed to be OK for me.
When I my oil change I always fill up my new filter with new oil and rub my finger around the gasket,To make sure it's nice and lubricated before putting it on.
K&N Filters whenever available. I am working on cleaning out my garage enough to at least pull my Lexus CT200h in enough to do the maintenance work on it. I am not a mechanic but I can do the basic oil change, filter change, even spark plug replacements. I just have to put it on a ramp or jack stands to be able to get under it.
@@GPz84 Yes actually. Plenty of them have rust inside right out of the box and many of them have low quality filter media that actually dissolves and sometimes makes it's way into the engine. there are many videos and complaints regarding this problem. Very inconsistent quality control
Good tips Mr. Scotty, Your accent remainds me of when I visited Nashville Tenesse. it was hard to understand for a foreigner. Greetings from Zacatecas México
Hey Scotty…get a Fumoto valve and put it on your oil pans. Saves the hassle of having to remove and install the drain plug every time you change your oil.
Scotty, if you go to the right auto parts store with a good rewards program, you can end up getting oil and a filter for the same price or lower than Walmart. AND you can often get a better oil filter and newer oil, too.
I used a Fram orange-can-death-filter once in my vehicle, a 2001 4cyl Camry. I did it just to prove that the engine wouldn't blow up after seeing all the Dr. Doom stories on the UA-cam videos. Here's my take on the topic. The low-end Fram is the same as any low end or no-name filter. These filters are good for 5000 miles at the most. At the most. I live in the San Joaquin Valley in California. I drive all short trips and it is a little dusty around here. My designated oil change interval is 2800 miles with semisynthetic oil, and it takes me months to reach it. I use a Supertech filter and would use one with any kind of oil because even with synthetic oil, I would not go more than 4000 miles. People need to keep in mind, Group III and Group IV synthetic motor oils are not the same product. Group III is just glorified dino oil out of the ground, but highly refined and tweaked chemically. Group IV is synthesized from natural gas. A low end filter is a cheap brand name filter you get at a parts store or a box store. A no-name filter is the kind you get at a tire store that does oil changes or with a discount oil change at a drive-through oil change shop. All of these are about the same in quality. Good for maximum 5000 miles.
Too bad you weren’t a mechanic for 27 years then you’d know what you were talking about dont knock something if all the experience you have is selling product
Had 340,000 on mine and never needed rear brakes. It was a 4 x 4 but 4 cyl. Solid work truck. Sold it ONLT because I was tired of it. I did buy another newer Toyota though. Scottie, I myself partially fill the oil filter before installing. What do you think???
Another great video by Scotty. Clear video clear voice description no crappy music in the background. I do love when Scotty flashes the pictures in the background. Especially the laughing horse LMAO every time
one note make sure you open the hood before draining the oil. If the hood is stuck and you drain the oil and you cant open the hood its a problem/extra work
Scotty, I can't believe you would demo tightening a drain bolt with a cheater bar! You and I know how tight, but a beginner may gorilla tighten until stripped. Awesome channel!
I change the oil once a year on my snowblower. I do exactly like Scotty - I buy branded oil at Walmart. Works just as well and it is a lot cheaper than a store like Autozone.
@@tommurphy4307 It is the only auto parts store I have near me as NAPA went out of business unfortunately (guy retired). Not sure what other options I have as we don't have many auto stores in our area (no Riley's, only Goodyear). I buy batteries from Autozone and they seem okay.
I use nothing but Mobil 1 0W20 for my 2012 Civic and it's about $40 for 5 litres on sale...and I drive in temperatures that range from 85 degrees F in the summer to -40 degrees F in the winter. I mind my oil minder and change my oil at 20% oil life. I always get about 7,000 to 8,000 miles per change. Had my crank seal replaced due to an unplugged start at -35 degrees one winter, which started a leak. The mechanics said the internals looked like new...I have 130,000 miles on that motor.
I have a skid plate on my Xterra also. It has an access port that allows you to get to the oil filter but it's easier to take the skid plate off. It'll keep you from getting cuts also.
Scotty you surprised me on the 2022 TRD the canister filter has a plug on the bottom of the canister so you can mostly drain the oil filter. I got one for my Tundra. Now you still get some oil even draining the oil filter but it is less of a mess.
Wetting the seal, has nothing to do with making it easier to take off. You wet the seal so that it doesn't catch and tear/stretch on a dry seal face of the filter housing.
@@charlespowell2149 i am not, i serviced heavy equipment for almost 30 years and never had an issue with removal- maybe you can’t understand how they are supposed to go in i think? What sort of noob uses a screwdriver to remove a filter anyhow? Lol
HOLD IT YOU TWO! i've used a screwdriver but i used it as a chisel on the seam of the filter and they always come right off with a few easy taps of the dead-blow. guys who use tools to tighten oil filters create a lot of work for some of us.
Im a mechanic and i would never use a fram oil filter on my car or anyone elses i've had tree of them fail one time 3-4 fail all in one day .i. Prefer wix or napa gold, stp or purolator-leesfilters😊
@@RUFFFHOUSEthis is why I love reading the comments. Sometimes I pick up a great tip like yours. I change the oil in 4 of my cars and frequently get interrupted in the process. Painters tape over the ignition until the checklist is complete 🎉is brilliant! I’ll call it the RUFFHOUSE technique when I teach my grandson how to change the oil!
no need for that- the stuff is not much thicker than water. try putting a clean towel under there overnight and see just how much you guys are wasting your time.
Nothing wrong with a Fram filter. That's all me and my brother ran back in the 80's and 90's...that also includes our drag/street racing cars. 7,000 rpm +. Never had one engine problem.
That's a sloppy oil change because you took the filter off with the drain plug in. The filter will release some dirty oil back into the oil pan. Not terrible, but will lessen the next oil change. Putting new oil in the new filter helps. Put some in before you start the oil change. Pouring about a pint of oil through the engine also flushes out some old oil. Plus, some motor treatment, about 4 ounces, a day before the oil change, in the oil helps. The remainder of the motor treatment into the fuel. Kudos to the Tough Guard filter. I've learned these details over a few decades.
Funny thing about Fram filters… So many people scream moan and complain… But the best of my knowledge I've never seen an actual lawsuit brought to court system with any kind of suing of etc.… All these years of them being so bad and no one's ever approached it from a lawful side??hmm🤔🤔
That is not an argument. How could you ever prove that a poorly designed and built oil filter with an inappropriately calibrated blow by valve caused engine damage, beyond a reasonable doubt? It's impossible to do so, unless the filter failed catastrophically. No one claims that Fram filters fail catastrophically. They are poorly designed and made and many are valved incorrectly. They do not filter to the standards of OEM. They permit blow by. They tend to contain cardboard reinforcement inside, which doesn't hold up well. They are simply inferior to OEM or better filters. That much is demonstrable. Cut one open and compare the construction, the number of pleats, and the blow by valve. Your legalistic backward logic is just nonsense.
@@ivermec-tin666 I agree, I remember seeing a video years ago where someone cut open different oil filter to compare quality. After that video I was thinking FRAM can go FRAM themselves.
@@ivermec-tin666none of what you just said is even remotely true 😂😂 and BTW yes they do filter better than alot of oem filters including ford. Ford Motorcraft filter is 80% at 20 microns while the orange fram is 95% at 20 microns. If it makes you feel more comfortable to spend 3 times as much on a filter go right ahead. My truck has lasted over 300k miles on plain ol orange fram. Like original commenter said if they were so bad someone would've sued by now. People sue for anything these days
I was very surprised when I delivered parts to repair shops and they all told me they wouldn't buy Fram filters because they're "cheap filters made in the wrong country". They bought Wix and Bosch filters. Autozone sells OEM Toyota filters, which is what I always buy for my 3.0 V6 Camry.
@@tommurphy4307 I always use new oil made by Kendall for my flat tappet cam engines. I tell everyone I`m the curator of a functioning museum because of all the > 70 year old tractors & most of the ancient tools I use to maintain them with! Only creatures that are newly made are the 1 or 2 Thoroughbred foals we have yearly. Some of the breeding horses are becoming ancient too. I even have an engine analyzer as seen in the CHIPS program that was used by their fleet mechanic. It still works well even with many vacuum tubes!
I'm older than you, worked on cars many years and I've NIEVER seen anyone use a breaker bar to tighten a drain plug. It doesn't set a real good example.
you have now.....i've seen guys use channelocks or vise grips, too. worst one was a guy who used a cheap version of a vise-grip- really dude? not even a genuine vise-grip??
I use that same oil in my cars and it works just fine though I generally do 20k intervals. My '08 Scion xD has about 309k and the wife's '14 Corolla has about 130k. Both cars run damn near like brand new.
I have a 2000 Ford ranger 4cylinder and it has over 400 thousand miles. I always use valvalene or Castro 10/40. and runs better than new and does not burn any oil. There you go Ford fans.
@@dylanclay2741 if you are talking about japan-produced hondas they are 100% made in japan. they would never use a foreign product. youre obviously not familiar with the way japan-based auto makers do things. they do everything by the book and we wrote that book for them at the end of WW2 right after we kicked their asses.
Love your videos, but I'm not much on Fram filters. Always use Wix or Napa gold filters if possible. Purolator if they aren't available. Just my opinion.
If you can't remove an oil filter by hand. You are putting it on tooo tight. The rubber makes the seal. And short torque wrenches are available for tightening the plug. 28 to 32 ft lb works without guessing.
Nice Video! I also got a 2015 kia forte lx, my car makes this loud noise when starting my car no problems though, it started when my original starter got bad and the lady at the parts store gave us the wrong starter (didn't have the correct # of pinion teeth) without knowing we put it on and didn't want to start, so we gave it some gas and it did. 2 days later i went to o rileys again to use warranty for a new starter and that time the guy told us it was the wrong starter and gave us the correct one, 3 more starters later and still makes that noise!
@@jrodrig2013 I`ve had that happen too! Once I had to use the old hammer & screwdriver method of removal. My old 1970 350 cid can be difficult for this almost 69 year old 4`10" guy to work on! Always have to use an old milk crate to stand on to reach for engine areas.
The canister filter is less messy if you remove the plug.....and stick the plastic drain the filters come with in and drain it, before removing the canister and replacing the filter.
@@firstamendmenttshirt4768 I`m shorter at 4` 10"! Always have to stand on crate to work on full sized vehicles. That`s why my favorites are the S10`s & the Mazda`s , Rangers. They fit me.
Never a problem. Even the cheap orange can of death filter is good for 10,000 miles. I change at 5k. I’ve used expensive to the cheapest you can find and they all get the job done.
except when all the wind turbines failed cuz y'all were too cheap to buy the factory german grease for them. that was hilarious- classic redneck behavior.
I've always changed the oil on all of my vehicles myself for many, many years. Its easy to do and I know that it's done correctly lol. 🤣 To each his own.

SCOTTY is the best , down to earth no nonsense guy , the world needs more people like him
I used to take our vehicles to the dealership for oil changes. One day, I had an appointment at 3:30pm. I didn't get out of there until closer to 5:00. Needless to say, I was madder than a hornet. I told the service manager, I could've driven to a nearby town about 25 miles away, had my oil changed, came back and started fixing supper by the time they got me in and out. I told him I was going to learn how to do it and change it myself. That was 2013, and I've had my oil changed maybe once since then because it was freezing cold outside. For the oil I use, I can do two changes for the price of one at a grease shop. DIY is the only way to go.
As a hobby I learn how to do engine oil change and now won't trust others to do it.
Good for you. Real men change their own oil.
Now learn how to change brake pads and other small jobs. Work your way up to more time consuming jobs. UA-cam is a great resource to learn most things. You'd be surprised how much money you can save with a Saturday afternoon, a stool, some tools, maybe a cold beverage and the feeling of a job well done. 😎
Having to take the skid plate off is the reason I take my vehicle in; too much of a hassle.
I CAN do it, I choose NOT to.
90 minutes for an oil change is NO big deal, you're not their only customer.
@VideoArchiveGuy it's a big deal if they lose a customer. Btw, I've never had to wait 90 minutes for an oil change ever, except then.
Using that breaker bar is living dangerously. Beam me up Scotty.
Ive used Walmart Supertech for over 20 years. No problems. Taken the head off one engine, clean as a whistle. Changing your oil at intervals is whats necessary, not expensive oil. Supertech oil comes from one of the big 5. They must meet specifications. Ask any reputable mechanic about Supertech oil. As for oil filters, get a good oil filter. Ive used Fram for years. I agree with Scotty, use the 10k oil filter. But mobile one, purolater and bosch are excellent.
I've used Wally Wurld's Super Tech filters for years. Several comparisons have shown Super Tech filters are a good buy. They work as well as the "Premium" filters.
Super Tech is specification SP, so it’s good stuff. Depending on where, it is made by Penzoil, Exxon-Mobil or Warren Distributing.
Fram filters are not good. Their best oil filter needs to run at higher pressure to filter properly. And it's not good for your engine to have higher oil pressure. Can you say oil leak?
Lake speed J.R. has data that shows the XP filters pass larger particles…hence they last longer. Standard filters, not extended life, filtered better.
@@paulsteele8079 Mobile 1 has best filtering.
I’ve changed my own oil on multiple different vehicles for years. Last time I changed the oil on my F350, I didn’t realize the gasket on the old oil filter stayed stuck to the vehicle. Needless to say, that was a mess on startup. I won’t overlook that again!
Haha good safety tip! I've got a '03 7.3L F350 and its getting soooo expensive for an oil change I think I'll start doing it myself! Cheers!
The plastic filter housing is known to crack. I converted mine to the cast aluminum housing offered on Lexus. Also the is a special drain tool that comes with the filter so you can drain the housing before removing it.
The Dorman one is also good. Be sure to replace the plastic Y-pipe on heater hose.
Less mess to use the oil filter plastic tool that comes in the filter box. Drain the filter and avoid the oil spill during the removal of the filer. And don't forget to change the rubber O-rings on the case.
Good luck getting the drain plug on the filter housing loose.
have no idea what your talking about
I use the Walmart supertech full synthetic 20,000 mile oil because it’s got a good additive package and I usually go about 6000 at the most 6500 miles on an oil change and I’ve used this Walmart oil for about 15 years and it’s done right by me and I like the price
Me too. I use it and then I find the best filter I can get like Wix or Mobile 1.

Don't forget to change the differential and transfer case fluids regularly, too. Obviously not as often as engine oil, but it's still very important.

Doesn't matter what kind of oil you use only matter viscosity and changing intervals 4-5K
Using a breaker bar to tighten the drain plug is probably the worse advice you could give to any newb
At least put one of those torque beepers which cost 26 bucks on the business end of your breaker bar. My Honda has a factory magnesium oil pan that is easy to strip. The factory spec is just 33 lb-ft, so a torque indicator wrench is definitely called for.
Most oil drain plugs require only 30-35 ft/lb of torque. Basically tighten with a standard wrench with one hand if a torque wrench is not available.
@@shaunfoster4068 From 1968-72 I did 500 oil changes, crush washers were not used yet. However strip plugs were common because oil pan threads were stripped by monkeys with breaker bars. Nothing worse than having hot oil spraying 3 directions at once!

I used chevron oil on a rebuilt motor in '78?, blew the motor going up the hill to Tahoe, Castrol from then on out!
Walmart SuperTech is even cheaper. I am surprised you'd spring for Pennzoil, since you have said previously that any oil that is certified will perform as well as any other.

I’ve never used a breaker bar to install a drain plug. I understand that if the last oil change someone used a breaker bar (don’t do this) you may need it to get it off, but put it away after this.
Dozens of cars, hundreds of oil changes over my life time and guess what? NEVER changed the crush washer and ZERO leaks.
Exactly, got the same O’ring seal on the drain plug on a 95 explorer.
@@Michael-B41 I agree , I fill up the filter if they are up right.. and wait 5 mins for it to soak then fill it back up and install.
My Subaru finally started leaking from the old crush washer use. Went years and easily more than 6-7 changes at 5k miles each interval with the same crush washer until a leak occured.
Brand new Lexus leaked on the second change.
me too
When I changed my own oil ,I used clean oil on the filter gasket not the dirty oil
Either one is fine
It doesn’t matter
its just to prevent the seal from sticking, its not gonna affect anything... new or old
you don't know for sure what the old oil may have in it- contamination can swell the seal or even make it split- so its a good idea to follow the instructions on the filter or its box.
What everyone is missing here is fill the filter with new oil, that way your rods aren't banging away dry for 5 seconds until the filter fills up.
90 percent of my driving is in the city. I change the oil and filter every 3000 miles. Couple extra oil changes a year is peanut money.
Thats smart
Better too much than not enough.
Unless you're excessively idling your vehicle, you're wasting oil. Do better.
Gotta love the Rain-X orange color washer fluid. The only washer fluid I use.

😂@@tommurphy4307
Hey Scotty - in one of your previous videos you recommended filling the new oil filter before installing. I think you should continue with that suggestion. There is also a drain plug on the bottom of the Toyota filter housing to allow you to drain the housing and create less of a mess. They provide both O-rings with the new filter. Changing oil every 5K is the key, as long as it's a API certified oil of proper grade under normal use. Keep up the good work. I recommend your videos to all my friends and family.
so its more of a catch-cover than a housing- i think i get it now. you sound like a salesman- i look at it this way- you have to buy the complete kit.

Totally agree with Scotty on this video.
I’ve used Mobil 1, Castrol, Valvoline, etc. synthetic oils from Walmart along with Fram and other oil filters and never had any issues. Since I am running synthetic’s I will normally go to around 8,000 miles before changing it. Typically keep my cars to between 200,000 - 240,000 miles and have never had to get rid of one because the engine had issues wear issues, no oil burning, etc.
Vehicles have included everything from a Camry, to Mustang GT and turbocharged engines. The turbo engine oils do get changed at the recommend times however. Those high lift Daytona jacks are awesome BTW!
Scotty, can you modify the Splash shield, by cutting it? duct tape the edges for protection
Fram filters are fine. And super tech oil for me. I run tough guards on my frontier, wife’s outback, dads cx9 and moms a3. Along with my merc 150. Never had an issue
All the Fram haters, we have never ever seen a fram oil filter fail due to the filter. Failures of any Oil filter 90% of the time is improper installation. 3rd generation mechanic and engine builder.
I had a Fram filter in the 1980s that failed at the seam and leaked out all my oil. Never again.
I got tired of the seals separating when removing the fram filters… wix and motorcraft don’t have that problem in my experience
Just about every independent mechanic I’ve met goes with Wix filters. Hard to say if Wix is really good at marketing or they’re truly the best. I’ve used Fram and Wix and both seemed to be OK for me.
3rd Gen builder should know anything Fram is garbage.
@@JUMBOs-RCWix is best.
Scotty's the man, knows his stuff.
When I my oil change I always fill up my new filter with new oil and rub my finger around the gasket,To make sure it's nice and lubricated before putting it on.
That`s what I do as well.
I used to use Syntech high mileage full synthetic. Then they raised the price, so I'll buy any brand as long as it's synthetic and 5W-20!
K&N Filters whenever available. I am working on cleaning out my garage enough to at least pull my Lexus CT200h in enough to do the maintenance work on it.

I agree on Fram filters and that penzoil is just as bad. It's the only oil I've seen that leaves a frothy film over everything .
I would not recommend using Fram filters on any vehicle.
The regular Fram and Tough Guard are crap but the Full Synthetic filters with the steel mesh were made by Wix. 😉
Why
Their perfectly fine as long as you change it 3-5k miles
And why is that? You have proof they fail or have caused engine failure?
@@GPz84 Yes actually. Plenty of them have rust inside right out of the box and many of them have low quality filter media that actually dissolves and sometimes makes it's way into the engine. there are many videos and complaints regarding this problem. Very inconsistent quality control

Hey Scotty…get a Fumoto valve and put it on your oil pans. Saves the hassle of having to remove and install the drain plug every time you change your oil.
Yeah such a hassle to take 30 seconds to loosen a drain plug. 😂
And if it leaks you can lose the engine. Wrong place to try to save time.
@@Lray4x4hahaha ha

Wal-Mart's Super-Tech synthetic oil is a great oil as well.
Half the price of the name brands and sells quick.
actually the castrol gtx synthetic is only about 5 bucks more per 5 qt. jug.
I've only seen the semi-synthetic blend of Castrol in the stores I've seen in Canada.
But', I'll keep an eye on it.
Scotty, if you go to the right auto parts store with a good rewards program, you can end up getting oil and a filter for the same price or lower than Walmart. AND you can often get a better oil filter and newer oil, too.
I've worked at a parts store for 37 years and would never put a fram filter on anything or recommend one to anyone.
I've only used Fram in 27 years on 12 cars and never had an issue. I get the one that traps most dirt. Those cheapest ones might not be a good idea
I only use Fram and my truck has made it 580,000 miles without a rebuild. The Fram is bad myth is what you hear around parts guys, not mechanics.
Key takeaway is this dude couldn’t even become a mechanic 😂
I used a Fram orange-can-death-filter once in my vehicle, a 2001 4cyl Camry. I did it just to prove that the engine wouldn't blow up after seeing all the Dr. Doom stories on the UA-cam videos.
Here's my take on the topic. The low-end Fram is the same as any low end or no-name filter. These filters are good for 5000 miles at the most. At the most.
I live in the San Joaquin Valley in California. I drive all short trips and it is a little dusty around here. My designated oil change interval is 2800 miles with semisynthetic oil, and it takes me months to reach it. I use a Supertech filter and would use one with any kind of oil because even with synthetic oil, I would not go more than 4000 miles.
People need to keep in mind, Group III and Group IV synthetic motor oils are not the same product. Group III is just glorified dino oil out of the ground, but highly refined and tweaked chemically. Group IV is synthesized from natural gas.
A low end filter is a cheap brand name filter you get at a parts store or a box store. A no-name filter is the kind you get at a tire store that does oil changes or with a discount oil change at a drive-through oil change shop. All of these are about the same in quality. Good for maximum 5000 miles.
Too bad you weren’t a mechanic for 27 years then you’d know what you were talking about dont knock something if all the experience you have is selling product
I use super tech oil and filters in my 2017 Versa and works well it has 121,000 miles 😊
Had 340,000 on mine and never needed rear brakes. It was a 4 x 4 but 4 cyl. Solid work truck. Sold it ONLT because I was tired of it. I did buy another newer Toyota though. Scottie, I myself partially fill the oil filter before installing. What do you think???
Another great video by Scotty. Clear video clear voice description no crappy music in the background. I do love when Scotty flashes the pictures in the background. Especially the laughing horse LMAO every time
Love changing oil on trucks and SUV's. Don't usually need ramps and low risk of vehicle falling on you!
one note make sure you open the hood before draining the oil. If the hood is stuck and you drain the oil and you cant open the hood its a problem/extra work
Scotty, I can't believe you would demo tightening a drain bolt with a cheater bar! You and I know how tight, but a beginner may gorilla tighten until stripped. Awesome channel!
Never ever use too much torque when tightening oil drain bolts or oil filters!
I change the oil once a year on my snowblower. I do exactly like Scotty - I buy branded oil at Walmart. Works just as well and it is a lot cheaper than a store like Autozone.

Scotty you surprised me on the 2022 TRD the canister filter has a plug on the bottom of the canister so you can mostly drain the oil filter. I got one for my Tundra. Now you still get some oil even draining the oil filter but it is less of a mess.
ALL their trucks have the catch cups now.
Wetting the seal, has nothing to do with making it easier to take off. You wet the seal so that it doesn't catch and tear/stretch on a dry seal face of the filter housing.

Nothing wrong with a Fram filter. That's all me and my brother ran back in the 80's and 90's...that also includes our drag/street racing cars. 7,000 rpm +. Never had one engine problem.
That's a sloppy oil change because you took the filter off with the drain plug in. The filter will release some dirty oil back into the oil pan. Not terrible, but will lessen the next oil change. Putting new oil in the new filter helps. Put some in before you start the oil change. Pouring about a pint of oil through the engine also flushes out some old oil.
Plus, some motor treatment, about 4 ounces, a day before the oil change, in the oil helps. The remainder of the motor treatment into the fuel.
Kudos to the Tough Guard filter. I've learned these details over a few decades.
Funny thing about Fram filters… So many people scream moan and complain… But the best of my knowledge I've never seen an actual lawsuit brought to court system with any kind of suing of etc.… All these years of them being so bad and no one's ever approached it from a lawful side??hmm🤔🤔
That is not an argument. How could you ever prove that a poorly designed and built oil filter with an inappropriately calibrated blow by valve caused engine damage, beyond a reasonable doubt? It's impossible to do so, unless the filter failed catastrophically.
No one claims that Fram filters fail catastrophically. They are poorly designed and made and many are valved incorrectly. They do not filter to the standards of OEM. They permit blow by. They tend to contain cardboard reinforcement inside, which doesn't hold up well.
They are simply inferior to OEM or better filters. That much is demonstrable. Cut one open and compare the construction, the number of pleats, and the blow by valve. Your legalistic backward logic is just nonsense.
@@ivermec-tin666 I agree, I remember seeing a video years ago where someone cut open different oil filter to compare quality. After that video I was thinking FRAM can go FRAM themselves.

@@dylanclay2741 if you are talking about japan-produced hondas they are 100% made in japan. they would never use a foreign product. youre obviously not familiar with the way japan-based auto makers do things. they do everything by the book and we wrote that book for them at the end of WW2 right after we kicked their asses.
Love your videos, but I'm not much on Fram filters. Always use Wix or Napa gold filters if possible. Purolator if they aren't available. Just my opinion.
wix makes the classic fool's gold ones, too.
Use wix filters
I agree
i can get two factory oil filters for what the vanguard special-issue nappy gold edition filters go for. so......i'll pass.
I have the exact same green oil pan. Actually fits all my diesel oil in there. 13 quarts
If you can't remove an oil filter by hand. You are putting it on tooo tight.
The rubber makes the seal.
And short torque wrenches are available for tightening the plug. 28 to 32 ft lb works without guessing.
True
For your brake problem, look for wear on the left side of the brake pedal. This would indicate two footed drivers.
Mobil One High Mileage Synthetic oil and Zmax oil additive every 5,000 miles keeps my cars running. This oil stopped a rear main seal leak
No additives of any kind for me over 60 yrs. with no issues. I keep my cars just about forever. None ever burned oil.
Nice Video! I also got a 2015 kia forte lx, my car makes this loud noise when starting my car no problems though, it started when my original starter got bad and the lady at the parts store gave us the wrong starter (didn't have the correct # of pinion teeth) without knowing we put it on and didn't want to start, so we gave it some gas and it did. 2 days later i went to o rileys again to use warranty for a new starter and that time the guy told us it was the wrong starter and gave us the correct one, 3 more starters later and still makes that noise!
You should only do up your oil filter by hand, then you can remove it by hand.
The last change I did was hand tightened and that mf barely came off even with a wrench
I had a filter come loose that I hand tightened on my 1980 CJ5. Always tightened to specs with a wrench
This can happen because the rubber gasket swells, or you didn't put oil on the rubber gasket.
@@jrodrig2013 I`ve had that happen too! Once I had to use the old hammer & screwdriver method of removal. My old 1970 350 cid can be difficult for this almost 69 year old 4`10" guy to work on! Always have to use an old milk crate to stand on to reach for engine areas.
The canister filter is less messy if you remove the plug.....and stick the plastic drain the filters come with in and drain it, before removing the canister and replacing the filter.
Too much work...😂
3:32 Little man is balancing on his tippy toes to pour that oil.
He is short but he got it.
Your comment was not necessary if you’re gonna make fun of Scotty, you shouldn’t look at his videos very smart man
@@tonyperez4712 Are you short, Tony? I am fairly certain Scotty doesn’t care.
@@firstamendmenttshirt4768 I`m shorter at 4` 10"! Always have to stand on crate to work on full sized vehicles. That`s why my favorites are the S10`s & the Mazda`s , Rangers. They fit me.
@@frederickbooth7970 😄 and they work great.
Love your videos, but have not heard anything good about a Fram oil filter.
Hurts seeing you use a Fram filter. I hate those things.
Ive used fram filters my whole life no problems ever with them 😂
@@slimmjesus1424same here. Every single fram hater has never used them a day in their life
I always use toyota oil filters only.
You just hate on them because it's trendy
Never a problem. Even the cheap orange can of death filter is good for 10,000 miles. I change at 5k. I’ve used expensive to the cheapest you can find and they all get the job done.
My 2015 F-150 has that skid plate under the front end also. I took it off once, but it isn't necessary. My filter sticks out horizontal at the front.
I use 5w30 in my Durango It never gets that cold here in DFW
except when all the wind turbines failed cuz y'all were too cheap to buy the factory german grease for them. that was hilarious- classic redneck behavior.
Oil is black because it's a work truck?? C'mon, we're not 5 year olds. All used oil comes out black after 3000 miles.
Scotty should know better
Not a good synthetic oil...
I said the same thing. Lol
@@owenhill-vf7ko its not their platinum crap.
love your content but my 2024 tacoma is junk and was brought back by toyota for the blown v6
A V6 in a 2024 Tacoma, I think not!
I see Scotty is still using his Harbor Freight jack haha
I've always changed the oil on all of my vehicles myself for many, many years. Its easy to do and I know that it's done correctly lol. 🤣 To each his own.
