How to change the oil on your Toyota Auris Hybrid on your driveway

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

Great video and the little one shouting for his daddy was priceless 🙏

[@MDAD1]

Thanks a lot. Gonna do this in the misses 2013 now, brilliant car. Also followed your ledperf purchase for amazing results.

[@cookaboorra]

Thank you for helping us ! One minor thing: if you put gear control on the " H " position, engine will be freed from ECU drive control, and you can start engine for an undefined amount of time. NIce job !!!

[@AlexB-mb2wf]

How can you put it in "H"? There is P D N and R. Thanks

[@christophereininger6704]

Exactly! And this is very practical for checking the oil level after renewing your motor oil… Start the engine for 10 second without accelerating, stop it, wait 5 minutes and check the oil level.

[@krimke881]

Great overview. Thanks. But I wonder why the dipstick and the filler lid wasn't loosened before emptying out the oil. Also jacking it up on an angle that helps the oil not completely empty out of the bottom tray.

[@scorphonic1]

So I'm watching your video and thinking, this is great, finally someone is showing how to do this, and what oil filter wrench is best. Then you pan up and I see my car across the road!!! 🤣 😂

[@SuperVitz]

Good video, but a few minor points. That universal oil filter wrench is for removing spin on filters, there is a specific Toyota/Lexus oil filter tool for these, it's a cup wrench. That plastic pipe thing that comes with the new filter is for the models that have a metal canister oil filter with a bolt in the bottom, the plastic thing punches into the old filter and allows the filter to drain out before you fully remove it. Also don't put the filter element on the gravelly ground!

[@Endfloat]

Thanks for the info. I knew about the special tool, but I prefer to show how to do these jobs with the tools the average Joe has at home rather than special tools. And yes, I dropped the ball by putting the filter on the ground. Thanks for the info about the other little piece.

[@fredericeeckman3002]

Fantastic, I did it easily and I saved a lot of money !

[@Endfloat]

Glad I could help! 😁😎

[@Kozomnouk]

Really helpful - thanks !!

[@Endfloat]

You're very welcome!

[@rondhole]

Just for suggestion, you can get original Toyota oil 0w20 or better Mobil 1 0w-20 ESPX2 that also supply Toyota oil

[@RaduLazau]

Did you ever took that retaining clip on the oil filter housing (or whatever it is) out before unscrewing the cap? I will do my second oil change myself on this car some of these days and I'm wondering... I didn't remove it the previous oil change, but I see some do.

[@themowerman]

Good video thanks for the information

[@Endfloat]

You're very welcome!

[@wierdbareldkooistra3239]

Hello! How do you reset the sevice light on this type of car?

[@3opaH]

Thank you for this video mate! Shouldn´t the car be perfectly horizontal when the oil is drained? Shouldn´t you take it off the jack before draining?

[@Endfloat]

The drain plug is at the back so if anything, lifting it with the jack will help it drain better. For filling it and getting the right level it should be level though.

[@3opaH]

@@Endfloat Thank you, that seems logical!

[@RaduLazau]

Nice job! How about a brakes job? I have to change front & rear rotors and pads and could use some tips. Ordered TRW parts and a L/R hand piston press, since I understand the rotation direction differs in the rear calipers. Now the rotors are unevenly worn out (inside less contact with pads, much rust) and a grinding noise is there. The rear pads seem to be sticking. Have to do a thorough cleaning and greasing of the sliding bolts. Just bought the car (TS 2014) at 82.500 km and want to offer it a chance to start a new life with us 😊. Changed oil with Toyota 0w20 AFE, filters, and purchased new spark plugs. (Denso SC20HR11 are no longer available, found a Toyota note in the Denso catalogue saying they've been replaced by SC16HR11 since 2017 so I got these). Only need an articulated thin wall 14mm spark plug socket. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@Endfloat]

Thanks. If I ever end up doing a job on the brakes on this car, I'll be sure to do a video on it. Just make sure your sliding pins are correctly lubricated. That could be the cause of your problem. Thanks for the info regarding the spark plugs.

[@RaduLazau]

@@Endfloat just found another video confirming the 20 plugs were superseeded by 16. I'll paste the link here for future reference, might be useful for someone, hope it's okay with you. If not, just tell me and I'll edit it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpvKnJ6bj86ee5I

[@Endfloat]

@@RaduLazau brilliant. That's great info, thanks. I'll put it as a note in my video description.

[@abklhayy844]

hello, it's the same for Auris Mk2 (2015 and up) ? where did you put the little ring ? under the filter ? Thanks

[@Endfloat]

Hi, this is a Mk2 auris. That shape came out in 2013, so yes, this will apply to you. I didn't use the small o ring.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

Do you ever clean the battery fan filter? From the research I have looked at it’s essential but doesn’t seem to be covered in Toyota servicing 🤷‍♂️

[@Endfloat]

I didn't even know of its existence to be honest, so no! I will though. Thanks for the heads up.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

@@Endfloat I believe on our car it is in the footwell of the left rear passenger seat behind a vent. The seat needs to be lifted and then the panel pulled away after removing the clips. Apparently the leading cause of battery failure is them overheating because this filter gets blocked. I collect my car on sat and will be trying to do this myself. Really should be included in the services though.

[@mareksz.5693]

@@Steven-qi4gm it happened to me once that I got a message on the front display to service the hybrid system and it was related to dusted battery fan. I think there is some airflow sensor. Good to check that once per 40-50kkm. More often if you drive with windows opened and/or having a dog travelling.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

@@mareksz.5693 yes, I have the Corolla and not auris now and I check it and found it to be clear. When I had it in for service last week they did say they clean it as part of the service. Who knows if this is true though. For me I rarely have anyone or anything in the back so not likely to cause me issues.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

Hi pal, random question. When you press the brake pedal do you feel any vibration at all? Mine vibrates a little bit like abs would in a normal car. I put it down to it being the engine braking of the hybrid, but now I’m starting to doubt it, I’ve only had it a week.

[@Endfloat]

No, the braking should be smooth. It sounds like you might have a warped disc.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

@@Endfloat thanks pal. So you don’t hear any noise when braking either? like a slight scraping sound? I’m not sure what hybrid braking should sound like.

[@Endfloat]

@@Steven-qi4gm I do hear a slight scraping, yes, and I put that down to the fact that the engine isn't drowning out the rubbing noise of the brakes. It shouldn't be a metallic scraping though.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

@@Endfloat thanks pal. I’m so new to a hybrid car I’m not sure what I should feel and hear

[@Endfloat]

No problem. It took me a while to get used to the car myself, particularly the eCVT for myself.

[@neilhopkins8673]

Hi, did you warm the engine before dropping the oil out?

[@Endfloat]

I did, yes. I had only just driven it before I made this video.

[@robs4055]

Is that paper oil filter the same as a 2016 Hybrid Estate model with panroof ?

[@Endfloat]

I would imagine so, but I can't tell you for certain.

[@mareksz.5693]

@@Endfloat Yes it is same. Panroof has nothing to that.

[@ХристоКастелов]

Hi, why do you jack up the car to drain the oil better?

[@Endfloat]

I jack it up so I can get under it to get at the drain plug and make life easier. Anyway, the drain plug is at the back of the engine.

[@ХристоКастелов]

@@Endfloat Thanks for the reply, I recently purchased a car like this and I'm going to change it's oil but since I have a drain and it will be easier for me to change it, but after watching your video I'm wondering if I have to jack it up necessarily to drain butter, thank you and all the best.

[@michaelmeehan181]

Did you ever work out what that small white plastic thing you threw away was actually for?

[@Endfloat]

No, but it seems to come with a lot of filter kits, so it could be that not every car uses it. The car's running fine anyway!

[@harryw9598]

yeah some toyota's have a extra cap at the bottom of the oilfilterhouse. you unscrew that one and stick the white plug in , its to drain the oil in the filterhousing.

[@Anonymous-mv9bm]

Perfect, thanks

[@Endfloat]

You're very welcome!

[@snubbelbuff1471]

Well.. the wrench is well lubricated now

[@Endfloat]

It certainly is! Stuff like that always happens!

[@nargsify]

Tank you 💞

[@Endfloat]

You're welcome!

[@BOBMARLEYY007]

Blue print is a good filter

[@Endfloat]

Yeah I've never had any issues with them and I've used many of them.

[@rondhole]

You pick up dirt and sands on the filter and filter housing? You should not put it on the ground

[@Endfloat]

Valid point. In my defense, I had just swept the garage floor and the filter bowl was facing up.

[@imranvlogs5907]

Very good

[@Endfloat]

Thanks!

[@rondhole]

New Corolla used full filter wuth metal can, no more messy, BS cartridge

[@Endfloat]

Ah right. That's interesting they went back to that. I wonder why. Personally I didn't find these paper elements messy, but yes they can be on other cars. There again, so can the spin on filters.

[@rondhole]

@@Endfloat It takes much more tools, time, and how it can go wrong. Especially in QuickLube, Walmart, etc. They can mess it up too easily. With good oldstyle can type, only idiot can make it wrong. Usually by not tighten it strong enough and puke all oil out in few seconds and burn the engine. I know personally, 3-4 cases from rookies DIY and careless lube-shop.

[@petergeraghty9563]

Put the aircon to max and the engine should start

[@Endfloat]

I think that's what I ended up doing.

[@meowkieats]

1. who jacks a car up by a suspension component, how is this safe...it can easily slide as it is a suspension component which is made to move... 2. where is the old oil drain plug washer gone ? i see something stuck to the sump but , this car comes with a so called toyota blue washer ... 3. you are not using the correct wrench for that plastic housing probably twisting it every time, this will cause material fatigue and warping and will some day become impossible to untwist...

[@Dannyhunter1970]

I look at this and work at cars every day its not rocket science at end of the day

[@Endfloat]

No, far from it! It's handy to have a reference though.

[@freddesgarage]

Hi! When would you say it is fine to do the service yourself? I mean you loose the note in the servicebook when doing it yourself. My Auris is 2018 and have just shy under 12000 mil (swedish) Can i do it and miss out on the servicenotes you think? ///Fredde @freddes garage

[@Endfloat]

What I do is keep the receipt for the oil filter and write the mileage on it and stick it in the service book. There's nothing stopping you from filling in the service book yourself though.

[@freddesgarage]

@@Endfloat ok thanx 👍

[@tobiasandersson4470]

@@freddesgarageThe swedish cars dont have a service book. Only online. As Freddan know, for sure 😂 You also cant do the hybrid check though . Requires Toyota software. So DYI a hybrid wont cover the full service checks
