I also like to prefill the filter housing. I just use the oem Toyota filter since it gets changed out at the better 5k mile oil change interval. I like using gloves to keep the oil contaminants off my skin. Not so much when I was younger though.
I usually do this but since I was doing video content I forgot but before I changed the oil, I warmed up the truck so there was oil in the bearings plus this fill fast. Ill do it next time.
I like your use of the oil container as a funnel. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to check to see if the drain plug gasket was the reusable blue one as compared to the one time use black one. That and wipe the oil pan hole of road grime before reinstalling the drain plug. My first oil change I was surprised at how fast that 0W20 oil came shooting out and I made a huge mess. I don't bother with draining the filter housing. Waste of my time. The housing comes off with little dripping just like a spin on filter. Some people use a liter coke bottle on the end of the supplied plastic filter housing drain instead of the nice metal Motivx unit you have. I'm way too lazy and cheap, lol. I too thought that the aluminum filter housing was pretty trick when I saw it being offered. I haven't changed mine out due to concerns of cross threading. If you damage the threads on the block then you get into another whole can of worms that I'd rather not have to deal with. Easier to work with the plastic unit which will last the life of your vehicle. It's a "Toyoda" after all. Well engineered and bomb proof. Plastic for a reason he says!
Thanks for the comment. I usually use the paper filter one but got a good deal on the TRD oil filter ($15) at a Toyota dealer online so I gave it a try. Also I decided to upgrade the aluminum housing just for safe and also look nice. There is no problem with cross threading. It turns very smooth. My first oil change I did 5k i used the plastic oem drain and made a mess. Then I learned about the bottle trick but I bought the motivX drain look nice and also handy.
TRD is great oil filter but I read some where online that the TRD oil filter was being discontinued. Not sure if that was just for my corolla or all models. The TRD Equivalent is Fram Endurance, Royal purple, and Amsoil oil filters. they are all made my Champion.
Love this upgrade for filter and oil aluminum metal housing too . I have 2020 Tacoma SR V6 and always thought the plastic oil container cup was not appropriate as well as the replacement filter cartridge the up graded one is defiantly much better for all the apparent reasons like better seals and filtration. Wonderful Video
Thank you so much for the comment. Hope this helps other if they want to upgrade. In the future Ill do a video doing next oil change and looking at the results. Please like and subscribe to my channel.
I have the Motiv Funnel and wrench. The funnel threads right onto the cap threads and it really nice to use. BUT due to the angle of the filler tube (45 degrees or less) it leaves a little oil in the funnel you have to be carful not to spill it as you are unthreading it. I start mine draining first as That takes longer to drip and empty. I then remove the skid plate and work on the oil filter. Like others I just remove the whole filter housing without draining it. Can't say I am a fan of this type of filter, but it isn't too bad. That tube would make the job easier for sure, and less messy.
@rcintron123 I have a TRD off road so the valve sits way up there, far from the skid plate level, plus I ordered the nipple-less version so it's even more low profile. I cannot picture myself doing a traditional oil change on the truck and I dread doing my wife's corolla which doesn't have the valve due to how exposed it would sit out of the oil pan.
While the Fumoto valve is great for cleanliness and ease of work, the threads of the valve go too far up and into the pan so you never can drain out the particle contaminants.
That’s one way to look at it. I prefer to get out as much of the old stuff as possible. The tradeoff is having to deal with the mess when the oil comes out with such force.
Dont know how u paid for TRD filter, but looks well made. Silicone rubber, filter pleats look thick/well made. I only own a measly prius but I SO glad I have a spin on on mine, sorry. Too many ways u can screw up. But if I DID, i'd get an aluminum cap TOO! GREAT JOB! NICE TACO! 👍🇺🇸
Thanks you very much! The TRD oil Filter I paid around $15 plus tax. For me it looked and feels better built compared to the OEM paper filter. Not saying that OEM is trash but I feel more confident on the TRD. Also AMSOil has a very similar oil filter probably same manufactures but little bit more expensive. A lot of people suggested to do the spin on filter upgrade by Baxter but for me nothing wrong with this setup plus I change every 5K or 10Months witch ever comes first since usually both hit the same time. Cheers from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Did not lube the filter drain gasket. Filter housing gasket should be lubed prior to reinstalling to completely cover with oil. Did not replace the drain plug crush washer. Nice going, sparky.
I did lubricate the filter housing O-ring prior to installing at 12:15. The new crush washer forgot to add it but never leaked. Did a oil change couple months ago and did ad a new one
Greetings from Australia. Just read the comments below, I found the oil viscosity debate interesting. My immediate observation was similar to the Viewers alarm at the choice of 0W 20 viscosity oil. Just wondering what the engine code for your Hi Lux is . ( that's what they are sold as in OZ :) This will me make a decision on what oil I should use in my recently purchased veh. Cheers mate.
Greetings. The engine in my Tacoma is 2GR-FKS. Is a 3.5L. They change the engine in 2016-2023 to the 3.5L in US. The 2 gen (2005-2015) used the 1GR-FE 4.0L witch is a better engine in my opinion. They use 10W-30. On mine uses 0W-20 or if you live in warm place all year round the you can use 5w-20 the W is for winter. Always use full synthetic oil and change it depending on Km’s. Cheers from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
@Ricardo cintron Thanks so much for the prompt and concise reply. We only got the 2nd gen engine here. So 10w 30 it is!! Cheers and all the best. Great videos by the way.
You might want to view 'The Car Care Nut' on UA-cam. He is a Toyota master tech with an incredible reputation that is often cited by high end mechanics on UA-cam. He has a video devoted exactly to Toyota oil changes. According to him, the Toyota 'plastic' filter housing particularly is made of a high grade substance that is unusually durable, while the aluminum upgrade is prone to chipping if dropped. He also does NOT recommend draining the housing before removal, as the inner mechanism can actually disassemble in the process of opening the valve. His advice might be overly cautious, but check it out nonetheless.
I think shorten the hose Lol it's long enough for the vehicle to be lifted but if you work off the ground shorten it. and i always put cardboard down as i always spill a drip or two !
The aluminum housing doesn’t come from the factory installed on tacoma so on toyota website or dealer won’t show it being a OEM part. Is just an upgrade.

What year is your Toyota Tacoma? My relative just got a 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Access Cab 3.5L V6 Atkinson Cycle with dual VVT-i in November. 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Access Cab was built in October 2022. And, he is looking for Toyota OEM aluminum filter Housing that fill fit. I clicked on the your link for Toyota OEM aluminum filter Housing P/N: 15620-31060 to see if it was compatible with the 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Access Cab and its not 😠
Some parts websites haven't updated model years. The engine you mentioned has been used since the 2016 model year. Furthermore, nearly every product that is made for a 2016+ Tacoma will also work for the 2023 model year. They're all 3rd generation Tacomas. The biggest differences are engines, transmissions, and bed lengths between the trims/packages.
Yeah. Mine is a 2021. Amazon takes time to update this info. If the description say up to 2022, then 2023 will always say that is not compatible even if is the right P/N.
I have a TRD sports premium. I contacted the dealer and ask for compatibility of Toyota OEM aluminum filter Housing P/N: 15620-31060. He said no. I don't understand. My engine is a V6 3.5L. It is a question and not a comment. If any person can answer, it will help. Thank you.
Greetings. The dealership won’t tell you that the filter housing is compatible with the Tacoma because it won’t show in their system but it is compatible. On the dealer the clerk told me it will fit just won’t show in the system.

@@jonsainsbury8726 I believe that irrelevant. Modern engine have tighter tolerance and clearance therefore requires thinner oil to able to lubricate engine components. Synthetic oil are more advanced than mineral oil. Using heavy oil viscosity (30 grade) in a (20 grade) engine won’t harm the engine but won’t make a difference in reliability. The same protection and longevity will same applies to any grade of oil. What you suggest is just old myth tales.
