2018 Toyota Tundra Oil Change | FFV Engine | 5.7

[@DH-mf2lv]

I don't remove the oil filter plug. Just remove the housing. Yeah, it's a little messy but saves you so much time. I watched a certified Toyota mechanic change the oil. Thanks for the video.

You’re welcome and thank you for watching! Agree that you do not need to remove the little plug on the bottom of the oil filter. You can just remove the filter. Nothing wrong at all with doing that. Just a little messy as you said. I just did it for those who have never done it before and was curious what the little plastic plug was for. I need to break down and buy that metal housing honestly.

That Toyota mechanic was lazy! The OEM package for the O ring specifically says "replace both O rings". Those guys will never care for your truck as much as you do!

[@squank252]

@@ironmaiden8625i agree, remove the plug and replace both gaskets. Do it properly. Not the lazy way. There’s a HUGE difference in quality when you take your $40-$50k new vehicle to a dealership for maintenance and you choose the correct one for the job.

I do 5k on my regular 5.7. More is crazy

[@squank252]

Flex fuel is “required” at 5k. Regular engine is saying 10k is fine but take it with a grain of salt. Our Camry states 10k as well but I do it before then.

[@MJF40]

@@squank252 The Car Care Nut, Dave’s Auto Center, Humble Mechanic etc all say 10k is too long if you care about your motor. AMI grad and motor head myself and never was comfortable with 10k other than my TDI.

What size fuel tank does your truck have? I've been looking at getting a used Toyota and I loved the big tank my old F150 Eco had. Some sites say they have 38 gallon other sites say 26.

[@squank252]

Mine is a 38. The normal standard size for this gen is 38 as long as you get the SR5 package which most come with unless you special ordered it without it. The older models came with the 26.

[@kdaltex]

@@squank252you only fill about 30 though at empty right?

[@squank252]

@@kdaltexcorrect. I apologize for the delay on response. I didn’t get the notification. If I’m down to zero miles left, and then fill up, it’ll top off around 32 gallons. The tank holds a small “reserve”. Doesn’t show you on mileage because it’ll cut itself off to avoid burning the fuel pump out. It’s a 38 gallon tank but you’ll use about 30-32 before it shuts off. Keeps the fuel pump from burning itself out.
