    Tacomaholic...Let me tell you how useful your video is. I've got a 2010 TRD Taco with about 178,000 miles. Been changing my own oil for quite a while now and I refer to your video every single time before I start. Why you ask? Because I have to do mine in the street as my driveway it too steep. Meaning once I'm down there, I'm bound to forget something and have to rush up to the garage. Your vid keeps me in check. I too use a gatorade bottle to collect the bit of oil from the filter drain and it works perfectly. Very little mess. Thank you for posting the video and cheers on behalf of all Taco owners! If it's helpful to anyone, I take my used oil to the dump in my town. They have a large container you can pour it into so you know it's going to the proper place.

It was a horrible mess draining the oil because the drip pan I had wasn’t the best that I had thought and got all over the place but hopefully with the new valve next time it’ll be a piece of cake!

And get a needle grease fitting for your grease gun then you can get everything greased , even between your leaf springs , I even did my CV axle boots . The puncture that was made , I used shoe goo to seal the tiny hole. lol It drives so much better OMG , seems like a new truck.

    I worked at a dealership for 5 years and I couldn't tell you how many times some lube tech messed up an oil change! The only problem I can see with that valve is the threads may stick beyond the pan and not let the last bit of oil drain from the pan where most of the containments settle.

    After you drop in the initial 5 quarts and start the truck for 30 seconds.
    1.) do you have to put the oil cap back on before starting it?
    2.) do you add the extra .5 of a quart and then check to see the oil level?
    I know the manual says 5.5 quarts is the correct amount. I have a 2011 4.0 V6!

    • @Tacomaholic

    • @Tacomaholic
      @Tacomaholic  5 років тому +1

      Sort of depends on the oil you are using and if it's conventional or full synthetic. The last oil I used was Mobil 1 Full Synth extended performance which was supposed to be good for 15k miles. I don't feel comfortable going 15k without an oil change so I changed it at 8k. Regardless of the oil you use you should change it at least once per year.

    can you operate the valve with aftermarket skid plate on? I understand there is hole there but is the hole big enough to operate the valve?

    • @Tacomaholic
      @Tacomaholic  6 років тому

      Hey buddy! I guess it depends on the skid plate, but the opening on mine is large enough so that I should be able to operate the valve without too much hassle.

    Hi, I was wondering if you could offer me any advice, I have a 2010 tacoma trd sport with very low mileage (only 67,000 miles ), I’m the original owner . I just got it back from a big reputable dealership where they replaced the frame , they had it for three months and supplied me with a rental for the entire time, I’m really happy with the job, and the fact that they didn’t try to upsell me on anything . My issue however is my engine looks like something that came out of a junk yard , I’m not positive but I think they may have swapped out my engine , it could be all just in my mind but I don’t remember the motor being all pitted and rusty , ( I wish I had taken pictures of the motor before I brought it in ) I did crawl under and I got the serial number off the casing it’s 1GR followed by seven digits ( all of which don’t come close to my vehicle vin number )… do you know if these numbers are supposed to match ( maybe the last four digits ) or if there’s any way I could tell if the motor was swapped out . I love this truck and planned on keeping it another decade or two but now I’m wondering if I’m driving around with a 300,000 mile junk yard motor in it . I tried four wheel drive and it took a long time for it to come out and when it did and I put it in drive it made a loud banging noise ( it never did that before )

      It’s never made any unusual sounds at all. It started within 10 min of driving. I solved it. I didn’t fill the oil filter before installing it. I took it off, filled it, noise went away almost instantly.

    • @Tacomaholic

      @TheTradesmanLU2001 5 років тому +1

      Tacomaholic I have never filled a filter either and I’ve never had issues🤷🏻‍♂️. This is the first oil change I’ve personally done on my taco. When I pulled the filter it was not full. Maybe 1/3 full. . Moving forward I will continue to fill it just in case that was the cause of the clicking sound. Right now it’s running as quiet and smooth as ever. I guess it was worth the extra coin for the Mobil1. Previously I had been running the SynBlend oil .

      Get some kind of fast food plastic cup and punch a few holes through it, attach a small bungee cord to it and fasten it around your filter so the cup is beneath it to catch all the spilled oil. Cleaning the dirt out from the drain hole should be easy with a pipe cleaner or something like that.
