Why was a 14 mm used to take off the drain plug, but a 15 mm used to torque it down?

You been teaching me homie thanks will try to order from you been going three rockauto but uea got you

[@stevensevek6151]

Good video. You may be able to get the drain plug off the oil filter cap by simply using the oil filter cap wrench to deliberately over tighten the cap and then try taking off the drainplug again with the ⅜ inch extension. Don't tighten it more than you need to. Usually this problem occurs when the ⅜ inch extension is used to install both the drainplug and oil filter cap together in one step.

[@1AAuto]

+Steven Sevek Thanks for the tip!

[@jcastellon04]

thank you!! just changed my own oil on a 06 Rav4

Make sure you get a good socket for that oil housing or it can strip and break in half

[@Nowhere.Man1886]

Torque specs and engine maintenance light reset was very useful.

[@russlavalle]

Tightening the drain plug "nice and tight", then checking it afterwards by looking for the click doesn't do much if the initial torqueing was too tight. An immediate click just means it's at least what the torque wrench setting is. Make sure that it clicks while turning the plug... once. So you may need to loosen it a bit, then retighten, looking for the click.

[@wjm3018]

What kind of oil filter cap is that? I'm interested

[@rakiamoravec5290]

You did an awesome job, as always for 1A Auto; torque specs are the most important and most missed

[@zander4076]

Would be nice if you said HOW MUCH OIL TO PUT IN

[@andrewmiller7064]

So 14 mil to remove and 15 mil to torque 😆

[@Nowhere.Man1886]

Music for A-1 commercial in middle of video way to loud .

[@racheldelorey4928]

What size is the cup u use. I have two that’s why I ask I think their different sizes

[@uawsux]

what is the number on the filter

[@sf49erswarriorsgiantsgumba99]

There’s two o-rings there, what did you do with the smaller o-ring?

[@uawsux]

what happened to the cartridge filter

[@syed22]

What is the size of the oils filter cup???

[@VideoMaster-tt8pl]

So, there’s an o-ring replacement that comes with the filter under that that piece you weren’t able to take off. How important is it that I replace that. What could possibly undo it. It’s on top tight!

[@charlesdjones1]

"I could lift you up. I could show you what you want to see, and take you where you want to be." I've heard that background music somewhere 😂.

[@somebody5870]

When you had the oil filter cap off you should have loosened the oil filter drain plug so that next time you'll be able to remove the oil filter drain plug first and drain the filter oil with the adapter. Less messy that way.

[@clay1883]

So, did you just use a wrench and tighten the drain plug and "Double check" with a torque wrench? If so, how do you know it wasn't tighter, maybe much tighter than 30 ft'lb? Why bother with a torque wrench at all if doing it that way?

[@noejean7]

good but you forget to put the small seal

[@jcastellon04]

does the order matter can you change the filter first??

[@1AAuto]

+jcastellon04 Thanks for watching! You will want to follow the order we show you in the video.

Big mess

[@njsongwriter]

I changed the oil in our 2009 RAV4 today and it was full on the dipstick with only 4.45 quarts of oil added. Yet the owner's manual says capacity is 4.7 quarts! Any thoughts on that? My car was 100% level when I checked it. I even used a level to make sure.

[@ianparkhill3746]

Did you run the engine before checking the oil after you put it in? Usually I've got to run it for a minute or so, I believe so the new oil can circulate back into the filter. Then you'll get an accurate reading

[@njsongwriter]

@@ianparkhill3746 Yes, I did.

[@DIPPLEDORP]

Obviously not all the old oil drained out but as long as you’re reading between the low and full mark (in the middle) of the oil dip stick you’re ok. Don’t over fill tho’

[@Mr9Inchez3]

It’s always like that. You’ll never get all the oil out. True it helps to have a warm pan but even then it’s very rare I put in the full amount. Always start at least a quarter quart low.

[@gordenbelcher8934]

I had a Ford Escape-easiest oil change ever. Whoever thought of this at Toyota is an idiot. Real pain in the ass

[@MD-rd8vt]

advertising in the middle of the video with a loud soundtrack. what a mess.

[@tellsthetruth894]

I wanted to see this as would be done at home, not at the shop. Didn't help me.

[@Marko_Maxa]

[@TheRockyTopRock]
