Right on! Appreciate the Comment. I love modding and maintaining vehicles. When I stumbled onto the Baxter Kit I was so impressed I had to share it. I love making life easy.
Nice. I use amsoil as well and have the latest fumoto drain valve that has larger drain bore but haven't installed it yet. I was hoping you had a "how to" video on mounting the inverted adapter. I just learned of the Baxter products tonight and plan to make purchase next week. Thanks for the video!
Hey there, Check out this thread where toward the last few pages myself and others have posted some useful info on how we installed our setups. Hope it helps. www.tacomaworld.com/threads/it-got-real-baxter-adapter-spin-on-filter-oil-change.582655/page-14
@@Rickydbaby Thanks for the link. I have a question. With using the inverted system/relocation, and you remove the spin on oil filter, all that used oil drains down the hose to the original canister location where the Baxter adapter is located so that portion of oil isn't changed when doing oil change. About how much used oil is left in the hose and where the Baxter adapter screws in to the canister location?
@@Accuracy1st That's a very good question and assumption. I initially just assumed the oil would make it's way back into the pan, but I believe you may be correct that the oil drains down and collects into the original filter location. I'd have to say it's probably about a 1/2 qt of oil.
@@Rickydbaby I just ordered my adapter Monday. I was trying to decide if I wanted to use the inverted relocation mount as well for convenience. I spoke with Mr. Baxter and he did tell me about 1/2 qt residual oil does not drain during oil change. As such, I opted to go with the one piece adapter to fit where the canister is located and will be using Purolator BOSS 14670 filters
Thanks for the vid. I'm going to buy this from Baxter for my 2019 TACOMA . Where did you get the hoses & fittings and what is the length required? Any other mounting info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the vid. I was hoping to see the filter actually being removed (to get an idea of mess containment). You said the oil drained back into the engine from the filter. a few questions about this... 1) When you restart the engine after the oil change, do you fee like it takes a second or 2 for the oil to fill up the (longer additional) oil lines AND filter (since filter is mounted right side up now, with no real way to pre-oil the filter). 2) Do you have a rough guestimate of how much oil (if any) is actually left in the filter housing after the filter drains back into the engine (as you spin it totally off? 3) Does the oil ever overflow from the adapter (making a mess in the engine bay? 4 ) Do you have to wipe the oil out of the adapter before putting a new filter back on? Your fast reply would be greatly appreciated as I am thinking of ordering one of these VERY soon.
Hi there. The oil filter has an anti drain valve built in so no worries on oil draining back down into the engine until you actually unscrew it. When you unscrew it it just drains into the housing and down the hose. So there is some small amounts of old oil that remains in the hose and the bottom Baxter adapter during an oil change that there is no way to drain/remove. Haven't had any mess or spill. I do get a paper towel and just quickly whipe the inside of the filter mount before installing my new filter.
@@Rickydbaby Does the system come with all the fittings and braided lines that run down under the motor and do you add additional oil for this system ?
@@markvaughn8096 bought separate. They are an fittings and hose. I used two 90's and 2 45's. I did add a little bit of extra oil only on the first oil change and all other charge after are just the same you add before.
HI RICK I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I HAVE A 2019 TACOMA SR5 ACCESS CAB WITH THE V6 I REALLY LIKE THE BAXTER SET UP YOU HAVE .I JUST WANTED TO KNOW DOES THE ENGINE STILL GET THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL FLOW REQUIRED FOR PROPER LUBRICATION. AND HOW MANY MILES DO YOU HAVE ON THE BAXTER UNIT . PLEASE ADVISE THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY
Hi there, Thank you for the kind words! I'm really loving the Baxter setup so far. I just got back my Oil test sample and was advised all looks normal and well and could even push my 10k interval to 12k as there is still additive left in the oil. Great info to know. I've got about 15k miles on the Baxter setup thus far and the only issues I had was I had to replace the hoses with a higher quality hose after about 5k miles as I had developed a leak in one hose. after that I've had no leaks and no issues.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO RESPOND IM GOING TO GET THE BAXTER BLACK SPIN ON REPLACEMENT INSERT WHAT KIND OF FILTER TO I GET FOR THAT . CAN I USE A TOYOTA FACTORY SPIN ON OR ? . PLEASE ADVISE. I HAVEN'T A CLUE
Do you think it's worth the extra money for ams oil or is there another oil that's just as good... I change oil every 5000 miles anyway and kinda figured the more expensive ams oil would be a waste to change so frequently
I use Mobil 1 on other vehicles. However on the Tacoma I change every 10k with amsoil and amsoil filter. Black stone testing confirmed good additives still in the oil and recommended to try a 12k interval. I'll stick to 10k for now.
I went for a 10,000mi interval I'm two changes in now since adding this. First oil report was great and still had life left in the oil to go further. I'm running amsoil signature 0w-20.
not yet, Trucks currently at 55k Mi, and I change oil every 10k, with amsoil signature oil and filters. I've had oil tested multiple times and every time it comes back looking great and recommended to push my interval to 15k.
@@teddymuscio7419 it’s a kit that replaces the cartridge filter and plumbs it up top to the inverted spin on filter. When he checks for leaks you can see the two 90 degree fittings from the relocation housing. Look at 5:08 in the video you can see the two hoses and fittings that connect to a replacement housing below. The entire setup includes the bottom housing as well as the top inverted mount for the spin on filter.
Hello Rick. Thank you for taking time showing your experiences with Tacoma. Great coverage for sure!

Great video and awesome installation of the Baxter. You’ve inspired me to do the same. I’m mquibble over at TW. Thanks my friend 🙏

Nice setup........ Did you need to modify anything UNDER the hood to install the new oil filter attachment point ?
Not really. Just had to drill a couple holes to mount the Baxter inverted filter unit. It's been a nice setup.

I forgot to ask, how much extra oil does your truck take with the filter modifications? My 2020 takes 6.2 quarts with factory setup
I installed my setup based on Ricks helpful video. I use about an extra 1/2 quart.
Seems like the first change with the Baxter was about an extra 1/2 quart but after that no extra added oil is necessary on each change.
@@Rickydbaby That's due to the initial extra 1/2 quart doesn't have the means to drain from your system
@@Accuracy1st yes exactly!

Thanks I’m gonna install the Baxter on my Jeep. Just curious how long is your OCI and how did the oil report look
I went for a 10,000mi interval I'm two changes in now since adding this. First oil report was great and still had life left in the oil to go further. I'm running amsoil signature 0w-20.
How many feet of hose did you use look like 3- 4 feet. Maybe?
I would 5-6ft to be safe. Looks like close to 4ft
Have you had any issues with this setup? I’m interested in doing this to my 5gen 4Runner

How is it that your 3gen tacoma has the oil filter on top were the motor is and my oil filter on my 3 gen is at the bottom of the motor
Check out the title of the video it explains how, "baxter oil filter inverted mount"
I seen how its install. But on your video u have it ontop were the motor is instead at the bottom of the motor

Yes i seen that in the video. I was just amazed that u can change it to a cartridge then paper filter.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you; the $500 oil change.
This Baxter adapter is about $250. I was surprised with the price.
