Thanks for sharing, so far I've gone to my Toyota dealer for my services. My next service is 55,000 miles, check installation of driver's floor mat, rotate tires, inspect wiper blades, inspect /adjust all fluid levels and visually inspect brake linings/drums & brake pads/discs. Those MPI's (Multi-Point Inspections) are very helpful! 👏🏽
Most everything on this list you can do yourself, right in your own driveway, using basic tools. You can use a couple of tire jacks to rotate your own tires.
I like these videos Peter. I usually stop tightening the filter cartridge as soon as it contacts the base and stops. I have one of those funnels, they are great! You can pour faster without spilling.
I use that funnel also. I just did a oil change for one of my cars and I can almost dump the oil in from a 5 quart container. With the bigger opening on the 5 quart bottle I have to use a bit of caution. But it's as close to dumping in the oil as I can probably get.
@Ovi Chelu , it meets or exceeds all the specs required for modern engines. Frequent oil changes are the most important thing. Plenty of tests on UA-cam if you’re interested.
I serviced my daughter’s VW and the drain bolt and the oil filter were torqued way too tight by the dealer who did the previous service. As a precaution, I always change the drain bolt crush washer. I don’t understand why technicians have to go all gorilla when they tighten things down. For DIYers, you can’t beat the prices on Walmart Supertech and Costco Kirkland synthetic oil or when Costco sells Mobil 1 synthetic for $10 off on 6 quarts.
Hey man I enjoy your videos! Curious if you could give me an idea of what may be going on 2015 Tacoma pre runner all stock v6 got a weird noise that’s constant and starts at 45mph sounds like a wheel bearing beginning to go, replaced them and still hear it, also hear a stiff shock noise going over bumps.

Just subscribed. One of the best 'Toyota Oil Change' videos. There's a debate going on here in the house regarding using Jack to lift the front only and then placing 'ramps/jacks' to keep it safe...then sliding underneath for the procedure. Some say this is good because that's how the oil pan is shaped and the front end up will actually drain the oil properly without having to make sure that the car is level. Any opinion on that? Thanks.
Toyota Corollas are very reliable cars. I have driven mine for 42000 KMs and only cost was oil and filter changes at every 5000-5200 KMs. At 40,000 KM had brake service, plugs cleaning and throttle body cleaning. Total cost $25 for all these. Still gives me 15-16 KM/L fuel economy on highway at 100KM/h.
Years ago most cars used those miserable cartridge oil filters. These got replaced with modern spin on filters. Now, most cars have gone back to the messy cartridge filters. Anyone know why?
Great video. Toyotas here in South America typically don't have oil specs on the refilling cap so you have to go to user manual that is nor super clear ... at the dealer they recommend 10w40 semi. I don't trust their advise and I go with 5w40 on a 2011.
@@njsongwriter So, this is my thinking behind my selection. I understand how viscosity works in both protection, and efficiency dimensions. However when you go to the user manual those famous geographic temperature graphs and oil viscosity needs are so vague that I end up paying more attention to the additives package than to viscosity itself. And generally speaking I end up going lower in the cold temperature number and higher or the same in the hot temperature one. That's why I love when viscosity comes printed in the refilling oil cap ... it saves neuronal energy.
i just took it off and left it off, can't see any real purpose for it other than someone forgot to put the filter back on properly one time, came off and then sued toyota for losing all their oil.
Hi Peter.i need your help.i have a toyota rav4 , 2az engine with cvt transm box.saw transm oil got milky.i changed transm oil filter, put a 2th hand transm oil cooler and clean cvt oil but oil still became milky again.what could b d reason??? Please help.thank you,....
So you replaced the original transmission cooler with a second hand one? You'd think that would fix it. Did you drive thru some standing water at some point? Somehow water is getting into your transmission system... Take it to a mechanic
Overfilling can make the oil foamy. Did you follow the correct procedure for filling the transmission or could you have overfilled it. In the US only older RAV4s had a 2AZ engine (before 2009) and they did NOT have a CVT transmission. What year is that vehicle? Are you somewhere other than in the USA? Some things you said just don't jive.
Hello. I can let you touch my car and let you do maintenance on it because you showed that you really put care on working on it.. but the engine compartment is so dusty.. I can't look at... I do spray a can of tire foam all over it , let it soak for a few mins, and rinse it with water hose. Then use the air compressor to dry the major electrical areas... results is clean , and nice to work on it.
I use the door sticker and see how it feels. Sometimes I might go 2-4 psi higher. But on my rav 4 SE the door sticker seems to be best because much higher the ride gets too stiff except for mostly city driving.
My Corolla is spec’d for 30psi all around. I routinely set it at 32 psi with no issues. I feel 32 psi gives me better feel for the road. Just saying.........
My alignment guy tell me 40lbs. U must chek max inflation! 40 is 5lbs under my 45. Now my gen 4 prius, I put 38lbs in front/36lbs in back. My tires NEVER wear on the edges/even across. NOW, it may ride a little rougher, but my tires last! I'm a senior & it's worked for yrs. Jst sayn. 😉
@@riceburner4747 Well, I'm a senior as well (74) and although it hurts, I still service my own vehicle. I go by the tire pressure on the door post and I drive like a senior citizen. 😜
@@riceburner4747 your actually correct after experimenting for a while I can now come back and say 32lbs gives a good ride but I could see the edge of my tire definitely wearing fast , so I found 38 front 40 back psi to be a good set up. Yes it’s a little stiff But I just am not willing to except that kind of way or in a short period of time
I’m pretty sure they fix that on the newer motors it has it been an issue since around 2011 I have heard from a Toyota master tech though if you keep your oil changes around the five or 6000 miles mark, You can prevent some of those issues
More so dominant in 2000-2002 with VVT-is. The problem with the 1ZZ-FE engine was lack of oil return holes, smaller sized piston and to compensate, Toyota put in oversized piston rings which get clogged especially with poor maintenance. Of course, the 2AZ-FE engines had a lot of them burn oil left, right, and centre.
@@andretigiovaneti7587 More so depends on the specific unit itself. If the car is a rust bucket with a greasy engine bay, most likely yeah, it'll be smokey but if it is meticulously maintained and properly broken in when new, they have the ability to last up to 500K+ miles.
It's good that Toyota is now going with cartridge filters like the Euro cars have been using. A big waste to discard a metal housing when all you need to change is paper.
Hello Peter, i follow you from Italy...i saw that Toyota in the USA uses 0W20, even on large displacement engines like those of the Tacoma...you don't think that 20 is too low ? ...also considering the high summer temperatures that are reached in some states ?
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20 SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good start- ing in cold weather. If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE 5W-20 oil may be used. However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W- 20 at the next oil change.
Will thinner oil damage your engine (or is that just old thinking that applied in your great grandfather's day)? ua-cam.com/video/IKdhgKUZhPA/v-deo.html
Why not? There's no reason to change to something different unless the manufacturer says so. Our vehicle is 13 years old and we still use 0W-20 in it and it doesn't use any oil between 5k changes.
0W20 has pretty much been the standard grade for many years now for Toyota. It’s tried and proven to protect the engines as required by their engineers. Actually, the newer Toyota’s are spec’d for 0W16 .
@@eddiew.6485 yeah, when new, as they wear out, they start burning oil, it's inevitable. I've had 3 Toyota vehicles and all have had the same problem and the oil was changed as required always.

What is the best oil to corolla 2015 ?
Imagine, I've been changing oil since I was 10 years old; but I'm still watching this video
It’s a strange feeling
And you're 11 now. There may still be more to learn!
Same I have an irrational fear of not guessing the oil plug right, which is obvious 9 times out of 10. But that one out of 10 will getcha
Same, but I watch videos so I know where is what and just feel confident on what I’m doing
Thank you so much! I needed this! I don't trust my local Toyota even for the oil change! God bless you!

to completely change the oil do we have to change that filter
Will the oil filter come off with the other type of oil filter wrench or do you need the Toyota one?
Can you post the info on the air pressure gauge you use please!!
Thank you for the video
My Washer is stuck to the oil pan. I tried to remove and replace but it's still stuck. Any suggestions?
If the oil filter cage is very very tight and the filter wrench is slipping what else is available to use? Like your video and was useful. Thank you
hi , is it possible to list the o-ring and filter part #? where is the best place to buy them? thank you
What service interval was that? How many miles on that oil change ?
Thanks for the video
Great work thanks
Its strange that my Toyota dealer in Europe used 5w30 instead of 0w20 for the last 100 000km. Wonder if it makes any difference
I used a paint marker to make it eaiser to line up those notches on both the housing and the filter wrench.
Damn, stop showing tools! every time you show a tool I spend money, funnel ordered. keep up the videos! thx from Hawaii

Next time show how to change transmission oil on this type of cars. Some mechanics requires temperature check before filling oil in transmission.
It’s easy if your scan tool can read the transmission temperature.
