Relatively easy project to do, it would have been nice to have it up off the ground. I decided not to wait until the 10k mark anymore and glad I did because the oil definitely needed to be changed. I will stick to 5k miles from here on out like normal. For the wiring, going through the firewall is definitely not easy so maybe sometime soon I'll tackle that again. For now I have the wires hooked up correctly. The callout event was an awesome event so if you haven't seen that video here it is!...

Brown oil just means the oils was doing its job, not that it needs to be changed
personally i would have stuck with a OEM oil filter
First oil change and he used 5qts of high mileage synthetic oil and the rest regular synthetic. I'm surprised there isn't more comments on that. And yeah you're supposed to drain the oil filter first and change that gasket while you have the filter off.
Ok, Toyota says to change oil at 10K. DON 'T YOU BELIEVE IT. I have a 2015 4runner, change synthetic oil every 3K miles. I don't give a shit what Toyota tells me. for $30.00 (oil/filter) I can afford to change it every 3K miles. It is cheap enough to keep your engine running for a very long time. Hey Dufus, the bottom cap was to drain the oil canister so you don't make a fucking mess.
It amazes me how your videos are suggested just as I'm thinking about said thing for my truck. (Oil, LEDs, front tiedown rail in the bed, etc). UA-cam's algorithm is too powerful!
Hahah that's awesome to hear!
I love the overhead hose connections. Looks like a great system.
Can you be more specific? Most vehicles have something like that.
I just called Toyota on my new Tacoma and the oil change intervals are every 10k. At 5k intervals they do a vehicle inspection and tire rotation. Same as my 2017 tundra.
Thank you for this video. Very informative and will save me money down the road when i decide to change my own oil.m and filter.
That little clear tool that comes with the new filter is really useful. If you take that cap off the filter, press that tool in, it’ll drain the oil straight out of the hole of the tool. I learned the hard way
Live For The Weekend I've tried that before and it never works, so I drain the oil first and then do that to have minimal oil come out with the filter.
Bros FOURR Speed oh bummer well I tried to help haha
Ayy... that's the same oil pan I used in my 370Z oil change vid. Love that thing, combines the pan and the container in one.
To get through the firewall there is a roughly 3/4" rubber grommet driver side just behind the brake booster. I don't have a pic handy, but it is roughly a foot up from that factory harness and to the left... You'll see it. Pretty easy to push through for basic wiring needs.
I changed my 2018 Tacoma at 1200 miles and there was some metal shavings in the filter. Glad I did the first change that soon
Laine Young Oh wow, I wish I had done it closer to 5k, but my dad has gone the 10k on his 4runner with no issues so I thought I'd try.
So a few things. First off the little clear tube thing that comes with the filter, you remove the center bolt on the filter and push that in. It will drain the filter and oil housing so dont have to make a big mess removing the filter like you did. 2nd, the 0w20 full synthetic can definitely last longer than 5k. it might be super thin but the clearances on the new toyota engines are very good. If you're changing it too early, its just a wash of cash.
I agree with everything you've stated with one minor augmentation. As someone that lives in a climate that goes from +30C to -30C within 6 months I highly recommend using the 8000 KM (5000 MILE) oil change interval. Cheap preventative maintenance is never a bad thing.
I've tried that before and it never works right, so I drain the oil first then the filter so there isn't much oil.
Deano well obviously this guy is a tool considering that he didn't read the instructions that comes with the new oil filter and he does mind pissing away money on buying a day of oil change filter ($7.00) oil pennzoil (cheapest oil $39.00 - 7quarts) and never checking oil in his engine in 8700 miles 6 quarts drained out =priceless
Bros FOURR Speed its the same amount either way, the plug is there for a reason. Take the fill cape off before you drain and it should help, always did with my VR6. Then again it could just be how i was told. But hey you do it your way.
When toyota says 10k go 10k their ass not yours. IMO
Oil is the cheapest, and most important component to an engine, change it every 5k and you will get many years of sevice.
Toyota Care is standard/included . 2 yrs 25k miles.
You should drain it when it's hot! Gotta love the 4.0 engine with the filter on top, not a fan of the 3.5......
They have an aluminum oil filter housing to replace the plastic one and Baxter Performance has a conversion kit to go to spin on filters.
I only do my oil change twice a year. Every 5,000 miles with synthetic oil. :)
My 2007 Pre runner has 206,000 miles.
Synthetic can change 10,000 miles they test these oil s on turbo vehicles. You should research it. Hell you can 20000 mile with with certain brands mile don't need to waste money every 5000 miles.
Obviously dude was not aware of the oil capacity in Tacoma. My 2012 Prius fills that auto part store pan to the brims easily.
I've been changing oil in 2012 Prius every 10k for past 6 years. Engine is fine and level stays at the full mark between changes.
And yes I drive 2017 tacoma..
No way I’d let you touch one of my vehicles. Complete Hack
Eric Conrad In what way?
Eric Conrad,
I totally agree with you, he scares me with the way he approaches every thing,
Almost like he's never touched a mechanical thing.
Don't let the haters make a difference, keep on making videos and being you!!!
I just was gonna say the same thing. Complete hack.
glocktard why
Oem filters are actually really good filters.
You should replace the halogen bulbs with Auxbeam LED's next!
Victor Kyin Pho love auxbeam. I also have a pair of KC lights which work well but are not holding up nearly as well and costing 3 times as much, paint and finish quality is unimpressive. Oxidation and paint fade on the KCs while the Auxbeam look new.
Didn’t Toyota include the first few oil changes at no charge?
Manveer Khabra It's every 10k, so I'd still have a couple months to go.
they include essentially 2 free oil changes since they recommend every 10K which i think is ridiculous.
Every 10k? My dealership gave me three free oil changes ever 5k.
Toyota Care gives you 'free' oil changes until 25k miles.
And it's 5k mile intervals
Mobil 1 full synthetic is the way to go
so why are you doing your own oil change when toyota gives 2 complimentary oil changes?
There is a plastic pice that comes with the new filter so u can drain the oil filter befor u pull it off just for next time
I've used that on previous cars, and barely any comes out.
I never had a problem with them
The Youth of today LOL
Why are you going thru the firewall? There is a fuse box near the steering wheel, get a piggyback fuse and put it in the ignition slot. Quick and easy.
mike schoolcraft Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that and see!
Bros FOURR Speed you know what I’m talking about,right? It is a fuse that takes up 1 slot and keeps the original fuse, then it has an offset design and has a second fuse slot and a wire coming off it. Put whatever amp fuse you like in the new circuit. There is a good ground up there where the fusebox is mounted. Much easier and about $5.00
mike schoolcraft Yea I've seen them, just need to look into it more, thanks.
What if you use a different oil instead of the Toyota oil that came with it then maybe you can do the 10,000 mile change interval
Can you do a video of oil change, air filter change and any other fluid change in your Nissan GTR R35? Thanks!
Sick rides dude!👍🏻
like your channel man but honestly if you put fresh oil in and drove your truck for 5 minutes, then drained it, it would be brown just like that. the way to tell if its going bad is the smell and if its pure black. mostly the smell though. you can tell when oil is burning and done.
Good point. But I also like to just do it at a certain mileage just to keep it in tip top shape. An oil change is cheap assurance
What do you do for work
I want to know about your own truck Toyota Tacoma for a daily driver, does mechanical issues, anything problems for your driving good mileage? sorry for my low English grammar hard of hearing. :)
I haven't had any issues come up, closing in on 10k miles as well. I would join a Tacoma page, there is one on FB so you can see what everyone is doing or having issues with.
Washing the truck and changing the oil in the truck, then washing the car. The pool and a cold beer must have been calling once you were done
John Pace Haha yea it was a good bit of work!
I mean if you want stay in the longer range I would do like 6,000 miles. I drive hard so I do 3,000 miles.
Didnt toyota give you a 2 year free oil change basically every 5 k
should have put a cardboard box under the oil pan
That grill on the Tacoma looks great!
Thanks! BPF is an awesome company
Pennzoil is one of the crappiest oils out there
Yes I have 15 years of being a mechanic to witness it
What's the best truck oil to use
Been using penzoil pure plus for a very long time. No issues. No complaints.
i change oil every 5k miles/once per year what ever comes first idc if they say 10k
Yeah that's what I generally do too
Fyi toyota says 5000 miles for the tacos, i know that they say 10000 for synthetics, but i dont think the 3rd gens are synthetic. I know my 2nd gen isnt.
It's 10k for Tacomas too, and they do run synthetic.
All 0w20 is synthetic.
Toyota gave me five oil changes or twenty five miles what ever comes first or two years.
Randy R, they must jacked you up on price or other extra bs
I hate messy oil changes, it's happened to me, you plan it perfect and somehow it goes to sh!t.
Filters only last 5k
mobile 1 is factory oil. why didn't you run that??
I've been using Pennzoil for a good bit now, I have used mobile 1 in the past, there's really no difference between them.
Cool vid man
A couple major things were left out of this video, should have done some research before making a "how to" that someone might try to replicate.
1 - Use the plastic drain that comes with the oil filter so you don't make a mess, but if you like messes it's up to you. Really not that important just bothered me.
2 - 6qts of oil for motor, but if you drain and change the oil filter it's 6.2
3 - oil filter canisters have a huge drawback caused by user error. When you put it back on the truck ALWAYS tighten half turn loosen quarter turn (two steps forward - one step back). If you don't the o rings have a tendency to twist and bind causing it to leak. You won't notice until it fills the skid and starts draining out the back.
There are also UA-cam how to videos on these trucks done by people who know what they are doing. Just saying
Micah Hagen , good point. That phoking o ring may fail if not properly installed, tightened.
Learnt myself..
Micah Hagen Do you have a link to properly install a canister oil filter?? Just purchased a 2017 Tacoma 3.5l V-6
Why don’t you just have jiffy lube change your oil?
Christopher Land I've never brought in a vehicle for that, it's so easy to do and not have to wait around at a place.
No longer the 1grfe !?
What is the break in period for the tacoma?
I'm not sure, but I would say after 500 miles is pretty good, but to be safe even for towing around 1k. Just my guess and what I did.
It is in the manual. Same for any type of Toyota
I wouldn't use pennzoil. Mobil 1 or valvoline is better imo. But as long as you do regular changes should be ok. I'm oldschool and do every 3k. I've seen motors and filters after doing 10k intervals or some even go 15k. Not good.
Mr.G Disabled2Able You might read up on the new Pennzoil Synthetic. Made from natural gas and cleaner. I am a Mobil1 guy myself but considering a change.
kwatters63 I wasn't aware thanks man I'll check it out.
Old school means, every other. Aka 6k mile oil changes 🤙🏾
I just purchased a 2017 Tacoma... Toyota recommends 10k oil changes with a full-synthetic 0w-20 oil. I drive 25-30k a year and will use this truck to tow a 2000lb bass boat in the spring and summer. I'm thinking a 7500 mile oil change or every 3 mons (4 times a year). Oils have improved so much over the last couple of years... 3000 mile oil change is a waste of money.
I'll probably use Pennzoil Ultra Syn, Valvoline Syn (Modern Engine Formula), Redline or Castrol Edge Extended Performance??
Not sure why you’d change the oil yourself when Toyota does free services.
They only do like 4 or so. I've used up the free ones with my Tacoma.
$3,000 from Northern Tools. Get yourself a lift
I have an 05 4 cylinder Tacoma. Mobil 1 euro blend 0-40 oil 15000 miles oil change interval. Replaced valve cover gasket at 200,000. Everything looked beautiful . Synthetic oil does work a whole lot better
Great video. What is your opinion on that brand of oil?
Roneil I use it in my motorcycle too and that's alot higher revving engine and it burns well. Most synthetic brands will really be the same I think. Mobil 1 is another one I use sometimes.
I use Mobil 1 at the moment. Will give this brand a try. Thanks so much for the response.
@@roneilrahamut1300 Have you tried Pennzoil?? Do you like it better than Mobil 1??
@@stephenmaurer7008 I haven't tried it just yet, but due for an oil change in about a week, so will definitely try it. Have you tried it?
@@roneilrahamut1300 Just purchased my Tacoma a few days ago. However, I'll change my oil and filter before my spring and summer fishing trips to Ontario. My Tacoma will be towing a small 2000lb boat. Valvoline makes a Modern Engine Formula Synthetic 0w20. Might try this oil?? Always had good luck with Valvoline products. www.valvoline.com/our-products/motor-oil/modern-engine-full-synthetic-motor-oil
My dealer said I don’t need an oil change until 10,000 miles or until September but I mean I feel it needs it it’s a Toyota Camry 2018 ...
I have a toyota corolla 2016 fuck it i change my oil every 3000 miles . Ita just better
ANiSo Beast Check it and see, but even 8k miles for mine and it needed it.
Bros FOURR Speed synthetic oil is used and I checked it it’s still brownish clear not black but I just feel weird not changing it frequently 🤦🏽♂️
ANiSo Beast I figured I'd try there recommendation but I don't feel comfortable with that interval. If you feel better every 3k stick with that.
My Xj 4.0 has almost 330,000 miles and is still like new and it doesn't need timing belt's every 5 yrs.like a Toyota plus it has torque.
Been saving up for a Tacoma for a while now, Plan on getting a second gen or third gen? should get a second gen or save the money and spend it on a 3rd gen? Could you do a comparison on both of the trucks and which your opinion is the better choice? Keep up the Tacoma mods.
Hopefully I can do a comparison one day. If you go second gen, get an older one around the $20k range. 2014/2015s honestly go for about the same price as a used 16. So if you are already planning to spend over $28k on one, stick with a 3rd gen. My brand new 17 was only $2k more than a used 16, and only like $3k more than a used 15. No regrets.
4.0 > 3.5
It's all preference, the 3rd gen is just more technology, the 2md gen is just want it needs to be to get things done. No advanced features inside but I'm a simple man. Off road package, your good to go.
Having owned a 95 for 13 years ,driving a friends 2nd gen a lot and now owning a 2017 pro ( manual transmission) I’d say skip 3rd gen if you want a auto. It’s hard to get ahold of the powerband with that transmission. The manual is fine though. The 2nd gen has less HP but slightly more torque. The technology / comforts of the 3rd gens are awesome. Cabin noise was drastically reduced in 3rd gens. I’d say one positive thing about the 4.0 of the 2nd gen is that you know it’s gonna last. It’s a proven engine where the 3.5 is still up in the air. My opinion
I've had a 1st gen, two 2nd gens, and a third gen. Depends on what your using it for and features you'd like to have. 3rd gen has most things (it's still a Toyota) a modern car should have. However there are drawbacks; motor has zero torque, can't see over the hood going up steep hills, and the auto transmission is awful. I'd buy a hand shaker if I were you, that's what I did. Crawl control is kind of gimmicky, if you can't drive yourself out with a rear locker and ATRAC (off road package) you have no business being there. 2nd gen you loose all the tech but it's an awesome truck. 4.0 is the best motor Toyota has put in a truck since the 22re. You still get nessities though, Bluetooth and... Electronic mirrors? Power windows? It's up to you and your wants and needs are all that matter. Personally I think the 3rd gen is a nicer truck, but the 2nd gen is the better truck.
Did that all wrong dude.
Use Amsoil and you'll be able to go 10k with confidence.
MASSIVE CLICK BAIT CHANNEL!
Popular Mechanics once said, you should do the first oil change at 500 miles and then 1000 miles. On my new cars, I did the first one at 1000 miles.
Is that... High mileage oil..... Smh
how NOT to video
This is the most underrated UA-cam channel
First oil change I would have left the oil in longer, because they put chemicals and additives to help break the engine in properly.
umm no they do not lol
High zinc and phosphorus content for break in....
not at all. they do not add anything to the oil from the factory for break in. id love to see some documentation from toyota if you have it.
i'd like to your documentation that they don't
Speaking from experience. I’ve worked at 2 Honda dealerships and Toyota and have bought 3 new cars.
This is what the techs told me, you do do though.
put armytryx on it and shoot like 15 reaction and girl driving vids.then upload all again in a different order. then again.
has a youtube channel about his tacoma..doesnt know how to run a wire through the firewall. this guy shouldnt be anywhere near an engine bay.
It's just a little tight of an area, but I will be doing it very soon.
Lmao penzoil? Cheapest oil ever
Just make sure the oil meets Toyota 0w20 requirements and specs for this engine. You should be fine... check the back label.
