2011 Toyota Tundra 4.6L V8 Oil Change - Complete Step by Step Guide

2011 Toyota Tundra 4.6L V8 Oil Change - Complete Step by Step Guide
Today I'm changing the oil and filter on my 2011 Toyota Tundra.
I'll show how to remove the skid plate, drain the oil, remove and replace the oil filter cartridge, fill up with new oil, check the oil level, re-install the skid plate and finally reset the maintenance required indicator.
Toyota part number for the Drain Plug Gaskets: 90430-12031
*Note: I kept referring to the o-rings on the oil filter cartridge as gaskets. My bad.
Of course, they're o-rings but serve the same purpose as a gasket.*
WARNING - DO NOT Overtighten the cap at the bottom of the oil filter cartridge!
I did during the oil next change I did a few months after I shot this video!
After I filled the oil and got to the step where I started the engine to check for leaks, the oil filter cartridge cap was leaking!
When I checked to see how tight it may have been, the cap snapped off of the threads!
Thankfully I just happened to have a spare cartridge and I used the cap from that!

Thank you for this! I have the same truck, same engine, so this was very helpful! Stupid me, I both put the small and the large o-rings in the wrong places and had a major oil leak because of it. Watched your video and all is well now!

You're welcome!

I hate messing with that skid plate - mine is a bit bent, and it very cumbersome. Otherwise, it’s an easy change! 👍🏻

Perfect! Saving me money and I know exactly what to do now! I do not trust these oil changing places at all! Seems like a bunch of clowns with zero integrity running the show! Maybe I am wrong about that but I know I will do it right! Your video was great, the videography was well done, and I appreciate your attention to detail! Thank you!

If the plug doesn't come with a washer, why exactly does it need a washer?

[@barrygardner67]

I didn't buy a new drain plug. Washers can wear out. I continue to use the original drain plug but when I change the oil, I replace the old washer with a fresh one.
