2018 Toyota Tundra oil change 5.7L V8

This is a video of the first oil and filter change on my 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5. I bought the filter wrench and hose from www.motivextools.com .

[@AndrewDeVries211]

I’m sorry about the terrible music choice! Mistakes were made! Haha

[@Shoobedooby]

Music was fine! Thanks for the video.

[@kevinstenger4334]

I don’t usually comment on people’s music choices but I’ll make an exception this time. Music wouldn’t have been a problem if it wasn’t 6 times louder than the voice. 🥴

[@ChristopherHanff]

[@ericjaquez6868]

lost art of teaching.

[@ChuckHickl]

I was able to use the same filter wrench I use for my Polaris filters to get the oil filter housing off. Although the upper area is machine to accept the "special" Toyota tool, they appeared to understand not all of us want to purchase one-off tools for a regular maintenance item like an oil change and provided us with an option to use a standard filter wrench at the lower edge. That was my experience on my "new to me" 2018 Tundra. Thanks for the video and looks like you will be having the oy change the oil here soon!

[@j.v.3266]

As a first time tundra owner. Thanks for this thorough Dummy tool for us. Keep up the great work

[@phildern6203]

Thanks for taking the time to put out this video. The 5.7's are bullet proof engines. Only thing to check for next oil change is to make sure you change out the little O ring that sits inside where the drain plug for the cannister is.

[@toshibavoodoo]

I saw that too, got a little nervous for the guy.

[@ncurc9766]

Toyota is telling me my truck doesn't need an oil change until 10000 miles, I'm calling bs, this video will help me out

[@kennethriley428]

they just told me the same thing and here we are! lol

[@ncurc9766]

@@kennethriley428 my truck spends a good amount of time towing and running alot of short trips around town, I just dont feel comfortable going 10k with oil changes on a $40k dollar investment, toyota probley just wants these trucks to become worn out by 100k miles so you will buy a new one. My transmission will also be getting serviced @50k rather then 100k miles, idc what the dealer or Toyota says

[@kennethriley428]

Yeah, their service dept. makes a killing. I'll be changing at 5k from now on now that my Toyoguard expired

[@Mooseheadtactical]

8.5 quarts of oil , 10,000 is about right .

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

Toyota put the capacity at 8 quarts of full synthetic to extend the changes to 10,000 miles. Of course, if you own stock in an oil company, you may change it as often as you please. These trucks routinely go 500,000 miles without any engine issues. I think you'll be OK at the 10K service interval.

[@kennethriley428]

I had the Toyoguard 2 year free oil change bullshit when I bought mine. I just changed the oil myself after watching your video and honestly judging by looking at the bolts & screws on the skid plate I don't think its ever been removed. I bet those hacks at the dealership probably just drained and refilled the oil without changing the filter. I'll be changing the oil myself from now on. Thanks for uploading this video. Super helpful

[@garyxiong5198]

Did the oil on my wife’s 2016 Camry and had to chisel the filter housing and buy a new one. Had three years of free oil change and it seems Toyota never replaced the filter inside and just drained and replaced oil

[@Flyingaceful]

You are probably right on that. Can’t trust them.

[@victorlocke3549]

and made you wait while they didn't do it right.

[@yellostallion]

Yep my two "free" oil changes at the dealership, at 10k and 20k, I don't think they changed the filter! I did my own change at 25k after seeing this video. Skid plate looks like it hasn't been touch, the filter housing was stuck as thought it never been removed and I had to hire a professional friend mechanic to remove the housing. The old filter was very dirty! Truck is 3 yrs old and has only 25k miles due to covid. I will never go back to that dealer again.

[@eschrader]

You the man! I am not use to the no housing oil filter on a Tundra. I've been a long time K&N guy in the past. Found a 10 pack of "oem" filters and orings for $45 on Amazon along with a $35 wrench and hose kit to drain it. Costco carries a 4 pack of the 0w20 Kirkland jugs for $65, cheaper by about $20 than 4 Amazon Basics oil jugs I use on my wife's Prius. Another video shot the oil filter holder with a brake cleaner or spray to clean it. I'm also buying some 6mil gorilla poly gloves from home depot. My dad never wore gloves with reloading or working on dirtbikes/cars so I'm trying to get in the habit of using gloves now that I have a baby who will probably want to help when he's your boys age! Great video!

[@cjm5161]

My tundra on that 0w20 made one hell of a racket, 5w30 quieted her down a lot.

[@mywa8314]

Can you drop us a link for the filter and the tools you used.

[@chihuahuaverde425]

Nice video. I like that drain tool. I tried using a plastic bottle yesterday which unfortunately did not work.

[@cavemanconstruction116]

The filter came with 2 seals. Only replaced one. I didn’t see the small one being installed between the cap and the housing.

[@Elmm1914]

I at first was hesitant about changing the oil in my vehicle. After watching your video now I know I can do it. Thank you for sharing this easy to follow video. Like others I too enjoyed the music with the video. Again thank you.

[@davidreimer8406]

Love seeing the Young one helping Dad. Great Job !!!! Hope Dad paid you well or taking you to McDonalds,,,,,,, Or Both .

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

The smaller O-ring that comes with the filter goes under the steel oil cannister drain plug. I didn't see you replace it. Also, while that drain hose is nice, the little plastic nipple that comes with the filter is made to screw into the bottom of the cannister to allow the oil to drain out.

[@AndrewDeVries211]

You are correct. I’ve changed the oil a few times since this video was recorded. I still use the drain hose I purchased but yes you can also just use the plastic piece that’s inside the new filter box.

[@unclemoe5733]

Thanks for showing. At age 62, with a pension, gonna let the dealer do it. Got 2 others to maintain, don't need this headache.

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Hahaha. I understand. For the moment I still change the oil in our vehicles. However my wife has a beetle I’m close to letting the dealer do.

[@torque6389]

Nice job and thank you! The skidplate can definitely be a pain (wish Toyota included an access door); Motivx tools are great; finally, I hope you replaced the smaller O-Ring for the oil filter drain plug :)

[@edcones2948]

I caught that smaller o-ring too. I saw him put that plug back in the filter housing then open the box and pull out the new o-ring. LOL

[@chihuahuaverde425]

You an take some measurements and cut an access hole in the skidplate. Really helps with oil changes.

[@hANNAbONE]

interesting choice in music. Not sure I'd be using 0/20 in my newish mill. 5/20 would be a better choice for cold startups, IMHO -- Thanks for taking us along....

[@springfield03sniper]

Manufacturer calls for 0w 20….if the dealer did this service, you are getting 0w 20 as well…

[@hANNAbONE]

I do all my own oil changes, so my choice is my choice.

[@koreyhannan9071]

0/20 is better for start up. Thinner at cold

[@johnroberthanna1623]

@@koreyhannan9071 : I do agree - but that 0/20 is water thin. I just don't think it is the best choice for startup. 5/20 will hold onto the metal properties better and not roll off as it cools. 5 will stick to critical metal to metal friction points better than 0 in warm or cold. Once up to temp the 20 takes over. All this from my trusted mechanic.

[@koreyhannan9071]

@@johnroberthanna1623 my thought it's all about getting oil to the top of the engine as fast as possible. I see your point though.

[@vicsanchez5100]

good thing you have the supervision of the little master mechanic, you're lucky😂😂😂

[@ManMak6]

I accidentally stumbled onto this video coincidentally right before changing oil in my Tundra for the first time. Didn’t know that you have to access the oil filter for beneath. It would be great to see how to reset the maintenance timer.

[@kennethriley428]

you can reset the maintenance timer from your steering wheel controls (vehicle settings)

[@forestcop2399]

Great video. It'll help me. It was cool seeing your son trying to help out, my son is 2 and I'm going to do the same thing.

[@TheDoWhat]

Dude, this is THE BEST video on this process on planet earth. Toyota should pay off your truck for you just to have this on their website. Thanks! PS, about how much money do you spend an oil change? Not counting the tools you had to initially purchase

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Thanks. I’d estimate around $40 ? I typically buy the oil in 5qt jugs and you don’t need all of it. I skimmed over the part where the smaller rubber gasket goes in the filter housing cap but it shows the basics.

[@DESTER10984]

What's the white plastic piece on the new filter for? I didn't see you put it on anything? You can see it on the new filter at 4:22

[@AndrewDeVries211]

It’s for draining the oil from the filter housing Incase you don’t have the tool I used.

[@zacharycampbell131]

You know I appreciate your video on how so am oil change on your truck I’m only 15 and have never done an oil change before and wanted to learn how bit it would be nice to include that you need a crush washer for the drain bolt

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Good point. There should always be a crush washer when you remove the drain bolt. I’ve got 2 other oil change videos and I’ve started to call them out.

[@toshibavoodoo]

Watch before i do my oil change (reccomemd Foto valve) just as a quick refresher. Toyota so different than EVERY OTHER oil change.

[@AndrewDeVries211]

I watch it every time to remember the tool sizes lol.

[@rubenmartinez1652]

[@monc1ne]

I’m assuming those oil filter pliers can’t be use to remove the filter housing, correct?

[@AndrewDeVries211]

I don’t believe so. It’s a unique design Toyota uses on a few of their models

[@PaulyC8879]

Nice video! Thank you sir. About to do my first change now and this was helpful.

[@erockrs9884]

Do you really need that tool in order to make the oil change?

[@stevensevek6151]

Best oil filter cap wrench for the job. Great choice. 👍 (Music, not so much.) Also, at 3:48 I can see that your oil filter cap wrench was not totally seated on the cap even though it still worked. It should have been rotated 180°.

[@volt6008]

So it’s 8.5 quarts of oil and not 7.9 quarts? Cuz I work at Toyota and the manager says they always been putting 7.9 quarts 0w-20 for 6 years

[@jorgeavila9571]

Great video Andrew, but you forgot to replace the small rubber gasket on the plug cap.

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Jorge Avila thanks! I think it was in the box for the filter and I never ended up swapping it out.

[@anthonyhughley5412]

Try the motivx funnel makes it much easier to add oil

[@bobg2098]

Trying to figure out which truck to purchase. So far tundras are the cleanest and fastest compared to ford and dodge. But debating between a ram rebel vs tundra Trd pro

[@chrisclark9683]

It's much much easier if you install a Baxter oil filter modifications. You'll be able to use a canister oil filter. Also there are flip down oil drain plugs to make it even more easy. And cut a hole in the skid plate for Access to the filter without removing the skid plate. I have a front tow hitch over the skid plate, so I don't want or need to remove anything to get to the filter. Jmho.

[@derek1195]

What about reseting the light?

[@sandmountainx]

Hello everyone, i just bought a 2019 5.7 with 10k miles on it. Sure seem like the engine makes alot of noise. People ask me if its a diesel.. is this normal? Gonna change oil, hopefully it will quiet it down some.

[@GatesRapes]

UPOL semi gloss black paint was a perfect match for the skid plate

[@keithsj10]

The music is terrible but at least it's set at an ear splitting volume compared to your voice. That's a nice new truck, you might want to invest in a good torque wrench and a box of gloves 👍

[@adrianm6156]

You didn't demonstrate what to do with the small rubber ring on new oil filter. Thank you

[@AndrewDeVries211]

You are correct. It’s for the silver oil drain bolt you remove to drain the oil from the filter housing.

[@A-GUY-AND-HIS-TRACTOR]

After pricing the amount and type of oil needed for this oil change along with the special tool and taking off the skid plate is why I am paying the dealership $70 to do it.

[@666dynomax]

the skid plate is easy, and the tools cheap. the skid plate take all the front bolts off and remove the last rearmost one last and its simple, it slides slightly to the left when you take it off, and goes back real easy. put the rearmost centre one back in and she almost lines herself up. I find it more convenient doing myself and do save a few bucks no question. I'd say its about half the cost.

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

My dealer charges $143 for an oil change/tire rotation service. I can do my oil changes in less than 30 minutes for for about $65 and Costco rotates the tires I purchased there free.

[@ryanracine7613]

First oil change at 3900 miles? manual and dealer says these things go for 10,000 miles between changes. that seems crazy to me though do you just change your oil early? thoughts

[@AndrewDeVries211]

I normally change the oil early on any car or motorcycle I’ve just purchased. However after that I just wait for the dummy oil light to come on.

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Good luck. The video will help you. The most annoying thing is dealing with the skid plate. I should have filmed the 2 gaskets on the filter housing. New ones will come with your filter. Also you can get an oem Toyota filter in store at Walmart. I’ve been getting the filter and oil from their for the last couple of changes. Makes it even more convenient.

[@mitchreive9173]

Try the factory TRD oil filter you will see the difference in the 2 filters

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Mitch Reive I will look into the trd filter next time. Thanks for the tip

[@jerryhubbard4461]

The Toyota dealer does not use Toyota oil as it is not cost effective. The dealer that does my oil changes uses Mobil 1, Ow20 same thing you have here. I know it is easy to do the oil changes at the house, but taking it to the dealer, I don't have to worry about the old oil. They charge $95 for the service and I get a free wash. The oil alone is about $65 if you do it yourself. 8.5 quarts with filter change.

[@scottsmith6571]

I like the Toyota trd filters

[@juangallegos4721]

105 for oilchange..at dealership I don't think so

Just curious. I have a 2016 Tundra. Did you have a skid plate to remove before you can access the filter?

[@poochie49]

Ok. Sorry I didn't get past the skid plate removal section before I asked this question.

[@DonniesBack]

Who tightend the oil filter cover last. It’s like 27 newton pounds or something not 78 ft pounds. It’s just plastic lol

[@Wolfgangersen]

I hate skid plate so much, it's a pain in the butt removing that just for an oil change.

[@averagejoevideo9556]

Do you realize that every new Toyota comes with Toyota Care? Toyota Care is a no cost maintenance program for 2 years or 24,000 miles. They take care of basically two oil changes and 4 tire rotations at no cost by simply visiting your Toyota dealer. I am not sure how this can be saving money or time when taking it to the dealer literally costs nothing.

[@vettehemi]

When I bought my 2019, the salesperson warned me about their hamburger mechanics.

[@AndrewDeVries211]

Very late reply. I bough the truck used with about 2000 miles on it out of an auction. It was built in Texas, however it was initially a Canadian vehicle that was brought to auction in the US at the end of the year. There were tons of these trucks popping up at auction. Anyway, because of its history as a Canadian truck, not buying from a Toyota dealer and the enjoyment of making a how-to video to help others I never looked into a free oil change.

Omg why doesn’t the skid plate have a access hole.

[@BigFiveJack]

Friend, [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZS8aYOEj8uBrJIm27s ] I am certain that torque foot pounds apply to the tightness of: 1- the oil pan drain plug, 2- the housing that the filter element is contained within, 3- the mini-cap of the oil filter element housing /// I don't bother with the mini-cap of the cartridge housing. After I've drained the oil from the oil pan I leave the plug OUT, and I just unscrew the housing for the filter element with whatever oil is in it. Once this housing is removed I pull the old element out, trash it, and dump the oil into the same "catch" that has the oil from the oil pan. [ Use a new crush washer when reinstalling drain plug to 30 Ft/Pnds. ] The filter element housing is reinstalled to 18.44 Ft/Pnds.

[@BryMed86]

Forgot to reset ur oil on the dash

[@666dynomax]

The dealer was nice enough in one of my 3 oil changes I let them do to screw that nifty drain in so tight i cant get it out.. oh well, i just drop the whole thing now, apparently lots of techs do this also. Truthfully I think they skip the tool and just use the small drain to reinstall the housing. I was always a Mobil 1 fan, but I've recently switched to Pennzoil Platinum... 64000k the oil is almost as clean when i dump it out as the new stuff going in and doesn't lose a drop.
