Your video is still helping many of us change the oil properly in our Avalon’s. My only problem was getting up and down under the car when I would need another tool (that I knew I needed). At 67 it gets a little harder to stand up off the ground 20 times when it should have only taken me 3 or 4. Lol. A very good video. Thanks.

Easyrider4x, I’m also in my 60’s, still doing oil changes on my ‘17 Camry. It has gotten to the point where I lay all the tools I need on a tray, to keep from having to go up and down repeatedly. Everything is right there at my fingertips, plus it helps speed up the oil change process. I even made a tray diagram so I wouldn’t forget any tools. It has been a time-saver for sure! 😃👍🏼

I am 77 always change my own oil on my Tundra 05, an 05, LS430 and a 08,LS460L The last time I took a GMC pickup to get an oil change 20+ yrs ago. I checked the oil when I picked it up and the dip stick showed no oil. After I told the Mgr. He said, it must be a qt. Low well he kept adding. a qt. Until I was full 6 Qts. later. That was the last time I went to a quick oil change rip off joint 👎🏼 🙄

Excellent video, I was going over to change my fathers 2012 Avalon today and found your video. Changed plenty of oil in my day, but never a Toyota with this type of filter. I would have been lost. Picked up everything I needed and headed over. The only issue I ran in to was the oil fill cap specified 5-W30 so I had to run out and swap out the oil I bought. No big deal, just warning others to check before buying. 5 star vid though brother, hitting subscribe................

For 2010 and before, select "ODO" during the maint reset step. Select "Trip A" for 2011 and up. I suggest using a socket with the oil canister remove tool (my after-market tool from Amazon takes a 1 1/4" socket) rather than plug into it directly with the the ratchet's drive gear. As you mentioned, those canisters can be REALLY hard to remove, and from looking at a lot of review pictures, I suspect people break those cheap after-market canister tools by cranking on them this way. Also, when looking for removal tools, look for ones that grab a little higher up on the canister and engage those two tabs you see on the sides - it'll help prevent striping out the wall canister itself when you are cranking on it.
@ThisGuyProductions3 жыл бұрын
Good Suggestion Cakeorgtfo. I actually have a 3/4 ratchet now that fits it perfectly. The tool I have was purchased at the dealer and I've been using it since 2010 on all of our Toyotas. We have a Scion IQ, had a 2010 Rav4, a 2016 Avalon, and a 2018 Rav4. I've used this tool on all of them because the canister is the same size. To date I havent had any issues with the tool.

Marvin, the 2019+ Avalon now have a plastic cover over the oil filter and drain plug. There is a video on oil change of a 2020 ES 350 that shows this, the Avalon is basically the same car. There are 3 or 4 plastic clips you need to remove by popping out the stem with a screwdriver and pulling it out plus one 10 mm hex, which will allow you to swing the cover away. There is another 10 mm hex bolt but you can't remove it without removing another plastic panel. Not too hard, only adds another 5 min to the job but it can be tricky finding out what to do if you haven't seen it before, you might waste time removing more than you need.

@dennisfunderburg67562 жыл бұрын
Good video. Being a tool nut I should just mention the large rachet is actually a breaker bar that is used to "break" loose heavily tightened objects. Many rachets have been broken by using them in place of a breaker bar. The oil filter wouldn't be that tight in this instance but sometimes we get lazy and use the ratchet as a breaker bar. You may get by with it with name-brand tools but if your tools are box store quality use the right tool. You can use a pipe with a breaker bar for those real heavy applications but never on a ratchet unless you want to watch your ratchet fail.
@ThisGuyProductions2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Dennis, good to note. My breaker bar is a Craftman that has been solid so far. I'm not sure if Lowes offers the same warranty as Sears. Back in the day they would happily replace broken sockets no questions asked. The filter housing is usually easy to remove because I don't over tighten. I did recently break the filter removal tool on my Wife's RAV4 because it seized up. I bought a tool steel removal tool and replaced the entire housing with an aluminum version because the plastic has been problematic to so many folks.

@ThisGuyProductions3 жыл бұрын
Its pretty much the same except that the 2019 has a larger engine. It will need slightly more oil, but they still use the exact same oil filter that I showed. According to the book the 2019 uses 0w-16 oil. I'm now sure where you can buy that type. I use 0w-20 in mine and it is OK. The book also calls for 4.9 quarts, but you should remember that not all of the oil drains out when you change it. I would add 4qts then check the dip stick, run the car for a few min, turn it off, then check the level again.

@ThisGuyProductions3 жыл бұрын
Are you talking about that disc part at the bottom of the oil filter housing (@4:17)? If so, its not mission critical to remove it. Its purpose is to clear the oil filter housing of oil so you dont make a mess. If you cold never remove it, you could still maintenance your car, but again, make a mess. You can fit a 3/8" ratchet into the housing, which I am sure you did. From there you can use a breaker bar (really long handle) to try and break it free. These canister housings are so problematic. I currently cannot remove the cannister off my wife's 2018 Rav4. I actually broke 3 removal tools trying to remove it yesterday. I bought some really expensive solid steel tools to try and salve that. It'll be an upcoming video. Back to your problem. If it just doesn't cooperate, I would replace the entire housing. You can find then entire piece online between $25 and $40. I actually plan to buy one for my wife's Rav4 as I am sure I may break it.

Following manufacturer recommendations is THE WAY. That said, I use only 5W-20 FULL synthetic in all our Toyotas regardless of factory suggestion. We do mostly long, higher speed trips on interstate that tend to have minimal stops. Or, bumping along the back roads of Wyoming hoping to not get stuck in snow drift. My bias is that the 5W-20 will give better protection than 0W-20 whos sole purpose is to improve fuel economy through lower pumping losses. My approach has worked well over many years&many Toyotas.

I suppose you would tell anybody the same thing. I change my oil every 5,000 miles. They say the oil is good for 10,000 miles. So when I change it, it's still good for 5,000 more miles. If it's good in my engine for 5,000 more miles, I guess a ¼ teaspoon on my o-ring will be fine. And even if it made it inside the oil filter housing, it would still have to go through the filter element before getting into the engine. You do realize that there is at least ½ a quart of old oil in your engine after you drain it...?

There is flexibility with the type of oil you can use (to a limit). Toyota will vary viscosity based off geographic location. I will be sure to mention in my next video. Thicker oil is better for more tasking climates.

Ill be damned. Didnt know the center part comes off on some years.. mine definitely does not.. was wondering where that little o ring went.. thought it went under the springy deal in the filter cap.. but nope.. good deal.. way too long a video for oil change tho.. took longer than the actual oil change itself.. needs to be like 3 mins..
