Finally someone says it! Listen, this is an excellent video. Great job on all accounts. My only is is, as a former professional technician of 9 years I can tell you NEVER put ANYTHING other than the recommended viscosity in any engine, especially a 5w20 and NEVER overfill your system. 5 quarts in a 4.6... Especially with higher miles and the wrong viscosity... Well that's why you're leaking. To much pressure blowing the gaskets causing leaks. Again. Excellent video. Really well done. Not trying to be a jerk. It's your car. But don't tell others it's ok to use the wrong amount and the wrong type. Any spec can be found on Google instantly including proper torque pressure for your drain plug with a torque bar, which can prevent striping the drain pan threads. Overall excellent work my friend and sorry you had poor service by past techs. Cleanliness is always a basic service.

Guitar string would eat up the paint

4500 miles from last reset maint reqd light flashes at startup

This is where I got mine from... www.amazon.com/dp/B00XTAGHU0/ref=psdc_15708821_t1_B00Y5JWW1W

I put five quarts today in mine and it's exactly at the full mark. Your mileage may vary, evidently.

Better to be a little under full than overfull.

It doesn't. 0w-20 by definition is better oil. The reason is because it heats up to and holds a more stable temperature than weighted oil. Do your own research. This guy also says to use 5 quarts when this car only takes 4.6. Would not take any of the advice in this video.

Brake Kleen by CRC. Any brand brake cleaner would work. You could use carb cleaner as well. It’s just a solvent.

I agree.

The threads are thin. If both parts are made of metal you can damage both parts. I suggest you stay with the plastic and handle it carefully. If you cross thread it or break it, it is better to replace the filter housing that have to replace the crankcase.

Pennzoil baby! Trust me. Have to get the full synthetic high milage one tho. Trust me you'll feel the difference after the change and starting the engine.

Project Nerdvana I did Castrol , next oil changed I’ll try Penzoil , is it really that much better

Make no noticable difference.

@@mikexcanxjerk I've used Castrol full synthetic for many years, get it at Walmart, 5 quarts for around $22, never ever any problems whatsoever and my 4Runner is close to 450,000 miles now (I bought it new in '96).

Swann System I went ahead and tried ultra platinum Pennzoil. My go to now . You should try it one time . It makes your engine run super smoooth for a while then goes back to normal but I know it did its job. I use Lucas fuel injector cleaner fill my tank up before near empty I change my engine oil. I do this way because oil and gas mixed with the Pistons so I want to get a deep clean as much as possible
