75k mile Tacoma Maintenance! Part 1

I taught myself on KZbin, no one in my family did any of that stuff. Literally just watch a vid and go from there.

[@michaelhelle7469]

Hold the box of engine oil sideways. As you start to tip the box, keep the spout slightly higher. You'll notice the glug glug of the fluid doesn't happen. Nice easy pour. Very controlled. 👍

[@JamesReedy]

Another wild tip, if you don’t have a funnel…remove the dipstick and put it in the oil tube and pour the oil onto the dipstick vertically. The oil will travel along the dipstick like water on a rain chain…it’s pretty remarkable. Tends to work best on cars where oil goes in straight down thru the valve cover as it’s easier to have the dipstick vertical in the middle of the hole.

[@beaviskornholio2754]

Chloe love your maintenance videos Looking forward to part 2 😊

I had a different Toyota dealership perform the last free/complimentary oil change. When I performed the next oil change, I discovered: - they over tightened the oil filter housing - they over tightened the drain plug - They cross threaded 4 skid plate bolts. Two of them broke when I tried removing them. - I dont usually remove the "secondary" oil filter cap...the little metal cap that allows you to drain oil out of the filter housing so it does not make such a mess when you remove the actual filter housing. So it was two or three oil changes later when I discovered that the dealership didnt re0lace the gaslet for the "secondary" oil filter cap. Do your own maintenance and make sure you know how to do it properly.

[@drwisdom1]

Please wear safety glasses when underneath vehicles to avoid rust/dirt particles flaking off and getting into your eyes. You can buy a Toyota specific funnel that has a rubber gasket and screws into the oil fill hole. That makes it super easy to fill without spilling a drop.

[@SolarMillUSA]

Very true. If you’re working overhead (or underneath) you’re working in your eyes.

[@keithrogers4577]

Just a tip for the Toyota oil filter housing is to replace it with the aluminum version. The plastic one will crack.

[@HellHound4201]

Can we please not teach people that it's okay to use a wrench when tightening an oil filter..... It's more than enough when you snug it on by hand.... Other than that, nice job👍

[@damon323]

Guess you’ve never changed the oil on a Toyota/Lexus. They have a housing for the filter that has a torque setting. These aren’t throw away screw-on filters.

[@HellHound4201]

@@damon323 Plenty enough times to say you're intentionally missing the point, i wasnt referring to the separately housed filters like audi, bmw, toyota, etx uses, also 17 newtons is pretty much hand tight....

[@damon323]

How am I intentionally “missing the point” when your exact words are “can we not teach people it’s okay to use a wrench when tightening oil filters”😂😂

[@mikefromnebraska]

Good luck tightening an internal filter by hand especially these stupid filters. But she definitely has it over tightened.

[@HellHound4201]

@@mikefromnebraska Don't know what to tell you, never used anything but my hands to tighten the filters. Even the one i have in my Audi, the one that is specified to be tightened to 17n, that also happens to be an internal filter.....

Weird comment

[@markyager3701]

If u tip the can sideways, it will pour easily without the backflow on the bottle, so just a tip trun, the oil bottle sideways the pour the oil in it changes everything

[@titojosh1396]

Those boxed oils don't glug like plastic does

[@tambosnipes1652]

Yeah it a bag in the box so it just deforms

[@eversurf5]

Why do the filters get so tight? I reversed torqued mine and it was over a 100ft/lbs from the dealer.

[@BigAlWillis]

Those oil bags are nice. Ive used them a couple times.

[@marvinmurakami8828]

Dang Chloe, i like that clean garage floor.

[@ddostella1]

You don’t need to over tighten the canister. Just get it snug and you’re good to go. Make sure you tube up that gasket as well so it doesn’t get stuck again

[@Bassfamjigs]

On the rear differential, remove bottom bolt and then top bolt. Makes less of a mess

[@marvinmurakami8828]

The reason people remove the top bolt first is to make sure it will come off and is not frozen stuck. It'd be a pain if you drain the fluid first and then find out not being able to remove the top bolt.

[@tridentata]

It's a well-known rule of thumb that you should always remove the fill plug before you remove the drain plug.

[@OggaDugga]

So it’s not just me who had to take drastic measures to get my filter housing off🤣. The record for me is a Jack handle for leverage.

[@midwestgrunt]

Turn the oil on its side when you pour and it won’t “glug”. It allows an air bubble inside. You’re welcome.

[@Spadeparade-xu9jl]

Just an FYI, Toyota uses Mobile 1 and recommends that’s all that you use.

[@frankhurtz805]

Walmart sells a huge, red, Hyper Tough brand funnel you can't miss when you pour. Only $6

[@metals305]

Do you recommend to make oil change yourself???? Or using dealerships for everything in the car

[@turtlegod7656]

Box of engine oil? Where did they stop using the plastic gallon? Just curious never seen that

[@matexf4c]

I came to find out using oem toyota oil keeps the engine quieter and cleaner. I tried every oil on the market just an FYI to who ever reads this.

[@rrjsc]

why dont you get some vehicle ramps? For as much DYI maintenance that you do, that would seem like a no brainer thing to get

[@BigE-92]

The Tacomas Maintenance book asks for 6.2 qts, I see you just added 6qts, would not adding the .2qts do anything bad to engine?

[@august9568]

Depends on what your oil measures to on the dip stick when you're done, and after you run it for a bit. naturally there's going to be residual oil still throughout the engine, every ounce isn't going to drain out. In this case that's just under 1/4 of a quart that isn't put in. So as long as it's between your low and high marks on the dipstick you're golden, I like to keep mine in the middle or slightly closer to the high mark.

[@BigE-92]

The torque applied to that pug and filter. Keep it up and they’ll be stripped out and then you’ll really be relying on the front tire

[@ntcc_spanky8507]

Got 222000 on my ford never changed mine 🎉🎉

[@Frosty_Saiyajin]

Your filter shouldn’t be that tight, the housing is aluminum and there’s an o-ring to seal it, tighten with a 9” or so ratchet until it stops then give it a bump with the meat of your palm.

[@Rudys_DIY]

Hack: Avoid spills and turn the box sideways.

[@TheSchmed]

Get yourself some ramps, makes it a whole lot easier to get under your vehicle.

[@ilongsakabaw]

What specific oil to change for the diff?

[@najamussaqib3028]

Is that front and rear differential oil grade is same?

[@osamaabdelgader9426]

Hey Chloe, what kind of oil are you using ?

Check with your local auto parts store. Around me the oreillys and autozone will take oil at least for free

[@luckyluciano4968]

Too much torque for the oil filter housing. 1/2 drive is over kill. 3/8 should be used.

[@august9568]

There's a plate on the bottom of the oil canister which is removed to drain the oil before unscrewing it to replace the filter. The key on that plate is a 1/2 in drive, so its necessary for that step. Otherwise, there's a torque spec for tightening the canister and drain plugs, and Chloe follows all the manufacturer recommended torque specs. She's not doing anything here that isn't by the book.

[@derpasaurusrex8335]

Switch how you fill the oil. Make sure the filler is on top of the box and not at the bottom as to not have air bubbles in the oil and spill.

[@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186]

Chloe can i pull up next😂😂😂

[@chrismc.893]

Toyota recommends Mobile 1 FYI.

[@kodylaird9342]

Filters are typically hand tighten ONLY

[@beaviskornholio2754]

Toyota has a torque spec for that. I'm surprised that the people here commenting didn't notice that she uses a torque wrench

[@JoeBoat8989]

I can do this by myself?!

[@all4fun360]

one more thing cuz everyone has mentioned the pouring but to avoid using the tool to install your oil filter. Tightening it by hand as hard as you can will be enough. If you can't reach it at least screw on the filter without the ratchet wrench first till it's tight and give it about 3/8 of a turn or less to snug it in.

[@noahlehman1408]

Why is the oil in a box?

[@funkyfurballs1078]

For stacking... there's a bag inside.

[@derekp6636]

its awesome, comes in 6qts instead of the 5

[@anthonyaguirre4294]

Agreed. The original plastic housing is prone to cracking.

Not on hers, she has the fancy access panel. I have to remove mine 😂

Uh, I change my diff fluid every 20k miles.

[@bangbangobama2681]

Ow-30 when should it be used

[@LJR_LIMITED]

Yea but can you cook?

[@marquenjoubert]

You should upgrade to 10w40 synthetic oil. 0w20 is too light duty.

[@august9568]

It's the only manufacturer recommended oil, very light for a truck I know, but supposedly Toyota engines are intended to be so tight on the clearance that thicker oil will cause too much strain and damage.
