Just had our 2020 Tacoma filter and oil change, they do not release oil from bottom of filter. Dealer just unscrewed entire unit, saves time and they are quick. I watched them entire process. I was invited to be next to Toyota master mechanic while he completed task. Took about 5 minutes tops. That's lifting vehicle, pulling skid plate, draining sump, removing filter, installing new filter and gasket. Reinstalling drain bolt with new gasket. Installing fresh oil and lowering vehicle. He use similar funnel to yours. Oil was boxed, all parts on work bench. I was amazed at how well it turned out. Dealer uses small oil filter wrench, used on Corolla filter, said it does not break plastic housing. The filter wrenches that are built to twist the top with cut outs can cause filters to crack. I'm having dealership preform service on our Tacoma, they have specials, check for any known issues and TSB's/Recalls.

Well I'm glad you have a good dealership to work with you. I am not a fan of my dealership. They told me my hood vibration was due to off-roading and not a factory defect. Anyway, I like doing the oil myself. It's not just the Oil its getting into places you don't normally get into the inspect the vehicle functions. Looking for other damage, wear, leaks. If a Oil Change technician is doing an oil change I highly doubt in the 5 minutes that he is busting out that Oil Change he is looking for anything else wrong with your truck. I have never been to a dealership that actually cares about my truck. They due the work and sends out on its way. I care about my truck and like to know the work is done right. When its not done right I am the only person to blame. But it is completely personal preference.

Hello, thx 4 response Adventure Built. You seem like good person wanting to share knowledge! I must say, reason I posted was explaining how dealership removed filters and tool they use. The reason master tech completed our oil change was due to new hire oil change person over filled our v6 tacoma 30oz oil. I contacted service director, he set appointment to complete service for my satisfaction. We wanted to know if oil was added or really changed. The case of oil dealer uses is 7 quarts, tech installed sll 7 quarts, that is how extra 30oz came about. If I did not have option of master mechanic working/completing work orders on our vehicle I would also DIY oil changes. Our dealer has been very response to our needs and requests, we are fortunate as most members on a forum I subscribe avoid dealerships. I enjoyed your video and will be watching as I feel it's worth while, you produce quality content. The over fill just took place, all of this was fresh on my mind. Thanks again, no offense but I would like to say "Thanks again my friend!"

Hello Adventure Built. I just purchased Motivx tools #MX2320B3. Also purchased 4 factory Toyota oil filters at Wal-Mart. After thinking how our vehicle was overfilled by Toyota dealership where we purchased Tacoma I can not return for simple oil & filter change. I plan to complete simple services myself as others just don't care. I had been thinking over the last few months "did tech even pull oil dip stick to check level after refill"? I believe techs are pushed getting vehicles in-out at record speed, I feel important steps are skipped when employees are trying to impress others by quickly performing simple tasks. Btw: Enjoyed watching your comparison again. Hat's off to you my friend, thanks again!

I bought one of those Drain Tools after my last oil change and making a mess with those useless plastic inserts. Haven't used it yet, but I know it will work. Several KZbinrs say to leave the drain cap on and just remove the whole filter cap. After watching a couple of them remove the cap without draining it and making a 10 times bigger mess than the plastic insert makes I hurried and ordered one. Wish i'd have known about those sooner. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the oil change demo. I've never changed the oil in my Tacoma and you showed that the filter is under a little pressure. Which explains why sometimes there is so much oil all over my skid plate after an oil change. I guess that some people changing my oil didn't know that either. Makes me question who's working in the service department at the dealership.

So how tight did you put that oil filter cap on? Torque specs... Oil filter cap = 18 ft.lbs. Oil filter cap drainbolt = 9 ft.lbs. I wouldn't worry about cleaning out the tube attached to the filter drain. Maybe blow carb cleaner through it otherwise put a cap on it and stash it some place until the next oil change. It's just draining used oil that's going to be disposed of/recycled.

The MotivX filter wrench gets 5 stars from me. It is superior to anything else out there. As for everything else, its unecessary. Hardly anyone bothers to remove the oil housing cap, including me. As for the oil fill funnel, if you are unable to use a simple $2 funnel to fill oil without spilling, then you've got bigger problems.

The plastic drain tool that comes with the Toyota filter is great but you HAVE to commit when you push it on; also, the nipple fits a tube perfectly for ZERO mess. Finally, thread of the oil filler exactly matches a quart of Toyota 0w-20. Cut the bottom off of the first qt and thread it in!!!!! I love quality tools but is wasted money.
