2019 Tundra 5.7 Oil & Filter Change

Oil change time ! DYI !
With only 5 major oil producers, you are getting quite frequently the same product. But one costs far more than the other.
Let the wars continue 🥴

[@andrewjackson8409]

Good video! Just started following your channel. I have the same feelings about changing my own oil. I bought an RCI skid plate with the access door panel to get to the filter because I hated taking that plate off every time. Keep up the good work!

[@kurtbyars766]

RCI skid plate sounds like a GREAT idea for me. Gonna Google that and get it on the way for next time ! Thanks !

Thank you! Had a 2008 Tundra and upgraded to a 2019. Nothing has changed in the oil change process but your video was still helpful. Thank you for the fishing bonus, I love smallmouth fishing too.

Ever since I have been doing my own preventative maintenance on my cars, they seem to last much longer with no major issues.

[@anandchundi6805]

worst thing you can do is have some underpaid under qualified grease monkey work on your car. These "oil techs" are techs because they couldn't get a real job or certification.

[@springfield03sniper]

@@anandchundi6805 most of the newbie techs at the dealership are the ones that do the oil changes and tire rotations. Most also don’t last very long.

So far I have added a supercharger, Bully dog intake and exhaust, and a few other mods to my 1794 Tundra. I do agree, I sleep better at night knowing I have done the work myself.

[@bryanwilliams4620]

Mobil 1 periodically offers rebates. You can get a rebate of $17 when you purchase 5 qts of oil plus Mobil 1 filter.

[@ping_me1vp]

Absolutely makes difference leaving oil cap loose + leaving oil filter loose for proper Drain

Most Tundra oil change videos don’t open the oil cap before draining. I like your method and do it as well

[@dbarton8651]

Good idea to do it yourself! the last two (and final!) times I've taken my 4Runner to the dealership they have overfilled by half a quart.... for whatever reason they just round up to the next quart. 4Runner takes 6.5 they Round Up to 7 WTF! The dipstick shows overfill by about 3/8 of an inch... I don't understand the incompetence

[@dbarton8651]

[@tpj1959]

Use the plastic piece. Way to show the wrong way! Especially if you have installed the TRD skid plate. You will make a huge mess if you don't use the tube for the filter. And you get self-righteous about how to change oil....

[@stuntdriver2147]

So... Wondering why there so many of these oil change vids on tundra and tacoma and none of them indicate you need to hit the 8 zerk (grease) fittings on the drive line ?!?!??! Buehler... Buehler... Anybody ???

[@JLeeChron]

actually the driveshaft on some newer models are "maintenance free" but good reminder, should be done regularly

I always find it strange that in the US, car dealerships habe such a bad reputation among customers. In my country, almost all dealerships of all automakers do their job pretty well. There will always be bad stuff, but not to the extent of people thinking the dealerships are the worst place to take your car.

[@JLeeChron]

It’s mostly because of overcharging, upcharging (upselling) or a bad experience, such as it not being fixed properly and having to return it multiple times. We all want stuff done for free or cheap, sad to say -is the common entitlement mindset. The good experiences come from warranty work or an occasional freebie, or the good ol shop round the corner that you know and trust.

[@Kevin09210]

@@JLeeChron ive generally not had any bad experiences with dealerships. Maybe i was lucky. Ive owned nissan, mitsubishi, honda, and now a ford and never had major issues with the local dealerships. I still prefer to work on my own car just to save some time and hassle. Only take in the car if it has a major issue i can't fix. Very few independent shops are trustworthy in my country.

@@JLeeChron i totally get you. Ive been through the same on more than one occasion. Doesn't bother me too much, but definetely not right.

It should always be like that.

nice job. FYI Toyota dealer OEM OILfilters cost only 5.50$ and a new crush washer is a buck Also use anti seize on those skid plate bolts for the next time! My rig has 180 k and rusty bolts do happen

[@JLeeChron]

Patrick Thomas -are you able to post a link for those $5 filters? ...have not checked Camelback, but unfortunately my local dealership charges more than msrp for parts unless you push them - that gets old everytime, so they usually do not get my business or endorsement. Thanks

[@josephrawe4423]

To prevent the mess when unscrewing the filter, place a plastic shopping bag around and twist from the outside of the bag. The bag then catches any oil that spills.

[@JLeeChron]

Joseph Rawe good tip there! Thanks

[@stevensevek6151]

Do a video to demonstrate how that works...

[@karengore8454]

pretty soon they'll be using 0W-0 .....

He left out a very important part when re assembling the filter cap and center bolt. incorrectly rte assembling this part will lead to oil leaking from your vehicle.

Just started doing the oil changes on my 2017 with 24k. "Skid plate bolts stripped out." Check! Stripped bolt and skid plate bolt spacer missing! Plus the dealer has been skimping on the oil (saying it is synthetic and under filling). It takes time, but just do it yourself.

[@zachb5508]

What kind of impact sockets are those? I like that they are colored.

[@JLeeChron]

Zachery Barker harbor freight has those, cheap but work well. @goonzquad uses them also- You remember which color is what size as the size markings do not stand out like I would like- why doesn’t someone make a good socket with the sizes brightly contrasted tho ???!!

[@JLeeChron]

And also they are not impact rated, but work for smaller duty

[@zachb5508]

@@JLeeChron Awesome-sauce. The sockets I have right now are Craftsman impacts that suck in my opinion. My lug nuts are always lodged in them after I buzz one off. Yes yes I am using the correct size socket. Maybe some cheapies will do the trick?

[@PanJarekKozera]

Showing how oil flows, showing how oil is poured? !!!! The Tundra oil filter has an additional valve - and this is something that is different. If you showed the whole process of unscrewing the filter housing, cleaning the valve ... OK. A film about how oil is poured into the hole ... a technical joke. And this fish at the end. Change movie scenarios to nature.
