Replaced my '05 Tundra with a '24 TRD Pro in July. Tow a 5000 lb. toyhauler with it. The danger of towing with the new Tundra is that it is too easy to forget I'm towing a trailer. Effortless pulling over 4,000 ft. mountain passes here in Washington State. Even better than the power ascending the hill is how the truck uses the engine and transmission to control the speed on the descent. That's what's most impressed me with towing with the new Tundra.

the little spout on the piece under the oil filter is meant for attaching a length of hose down to your oil drain pan. My dad's 2006 Tacoma was like that, with the V6 filter mounted up near the top. It had a little cup under the filter, with a spout, and I kept a piece of hose to attach and route down to my drain pan. Worked great, zero mess.

I can’t thank you enough for your no-nonsense approach to everything. My wife and I just bought a 2025 Toyota Crown Hybrid Max, Platinum.

I am fortunate to have a great auto shop near me, and they will be servicing this one vs a Toyota dealership. It may have a little under 900 miles by that time, but I don’t care. It’s our vehicle, and I’m uncomfortable waiting until 5K miles on the odometer before it’s first service. The oil filter dissection was enough to convince me that I’m on the right track.

I did my break-in oil change on my 2024 Tundra SR5 a couple weeks ago. The oil made such a mess shooting out of the drain pan, I installed a Fumoto valve for the next time and bought the 15mm ID hose for the oil filter, it made it so much easier than what you did with yours. I highly recommend it.

[@volvo09]

I should see if there is a valve for my ford... It has a goofy 1/2 turn plastic drain plug sealed with an o ring... The opening is like 3/4 of an inch and it shoots hot oil directly at the sway bar, spraying oil all over the place. I hate changing the oil in my truck. It's worse than getting all the way under my Honda and reaching up through a tiny gap to unscrew the oil filter from up on the back of the engine.

[@stevenbarrio3977]

@@volvo09 yeah I have a rectangle drain pan so I positioned it to catch the oil as it shot out and it shot out and splashed all over the place, I am looking forward to using the valve with the hose you put on it next time. I even bought a Fumoto for my wife's Subaru.

[@Rhaspun]

@@volvo09 Try using a oil extractor. I use one for my 4 Runner. It's wasn't designed to do oil changes this way like how my Mercedes is. But when I moved the tube around it will suck out all of the oil of the 4 Runner. First I push in the tube as far as possible but it doesn't do a complete job. I then have to raised the tube several inches and it begins sucking out the oil again. I wasn't expecting that. I had first tried using the extractor to experiment with it on my 4 Runner. I always pour in the recommended amount of oil required and it's not over filled at all. One time I did take off the drain plug and a maybe a couple of drops came out after I used the extractor.

Admittedly I'm on the automotive OCD spectrum but I always remove filter while drain plug is out. I can't recall any vehicle I've serviced where this didn't release some additional oil to drain. The filter will seal the pump circuit and removing filter vents that circuit and it drains the pump and pickup. Pump onward will typically drain through filter adapter. The cartridge filters can have their special procedure.

[@dharley189]

I’m gonna give you an OCD hint lesson I learned. Take filter off first. Just in case it slips out of your hand it won’t land in the full drain pan and splash oil everywhere.

High praise for a 20+ year old 300k+ mile car.

I also have a 24’ tundra. What undercoating are you going to go with? I live in Wisconsin and I worry about all that salt and brine that they use constantly.

[@johnj1789]

I live in northern Ohio. We went with Fluid-Film, professionally sprayed on. Cost $200 and has to be re-done every year or two but it's supposed to seep into crevasses. Only went through one winter so far, and that was kind of mild, so we'll see what the future brings. They didn't spray inside the doors I found out, so I shot it myself through the drain holes. When I asked why, I was told it tends to drip on people's clothes from those drain holes. But that's only very temporary, so next time I'm telling him to spray the hell out of the doors. My $70,000 truck is worth a lot more than what you're wearing unless you're the queen of England, and so far I haven't had to give her a ride.

[@jimmyg6215]

I had waxoil as soon as I got my truck. Salt area for me. So far it has held up nice.

Live in Wisconsin as well. 2022 Sequoia. Fluid film it every year. Buy a sprayer that has the 360 wand and get into the frame rails and door drain holes. It has a creeping property. Rust free after three years on salted roads. Most of the coating remains after a year but I touch up the areas that get heavy road spray. $46 a gallon at OReillys. Half a gallon does the truck each year, so $23 to keep my family vehicle rust free.

Yeah....a $70 grand vehicle should be cabin noise proof. Otherwise, it ain't worth $70 grand and have it rattles and noises from outside. $70 grand ain't no chump change. On a $20-$35grand vehicle, it's okay to have a few rattle and noise for a base model. The higher end trim should be immaculate, and noise proof and rattle proof to be consider top tier higher trim model.

[@Khannonball]

Here in the UK with these "keyless" keys, you have to keep them in a RFID blocking pouches. Meaning you have to take them out and put in the pouch or wallet. Reason you have to do this is because criminals come outside your home or where your keyless key is, clone the signal with a device and steal your car. You wake up in the morning and the car is gone. What they do after who knows, so these keyless method has its risks. Something to be aware of.

[@TheCobruhAlienat0r]

Same thing can happen with the regular fob that comes with push button start vehicles. With new Toyota's they can still steal it even if you put your key in the pouch because they can pop a headlight out and plug in a device that some how forces the car to start and then they drive it to their shop and use the dealership tools to program a new key and ship it somewhere else.

Have a 2021 Tundra purchased used 1-31-22. The dealership changed my oil twice. I refuse to go 10 thousand mile between oil changes. I decided to do my own oil change (quite easy, didn't need to jack it up. It not equipped with a skid plate). I'll never have the dealer change my oil again. I had to use a 3/4 breaker bar (with extension) to get the filter housing loose, its plastic. Was afraid that I would shear it off. Going to change it out with a metal one. I will have the dealer to change trans and rear end oils at 50 thousand , also clean and flush the radiator. At 73 I'm too old to do the heavy stuff.

I cannot speak to the new tundra, but our 2015 crewmax towed a 9000lb, 32ft RV up the Poconos. It had good power even up some grades. For the leaf springs, when the truck was weighed down, it rode much better than empty. You definitely felt the trailer, but the bumps were smoother loaded. Even when I put some firewood in the bed, it rides better than empty.

Same thing on my 96 Chevy Lumina van. Filter oil drips right on the front cross member and wiring harness. An inch back or forth, and it would miss.

[@johnj1789]

I thought it was a nice touch by Toyota because I didn't have to hold a funnel myself under the filter, or let it drip where it would while having the drain pan under it. All I had to do was pop a tube on the thing and it worked perfectly.

[@danjetsfan1155]

I have the nearly same truck as you except it’s a regular Platinum iForce - same beautiful white pearl. This summer we went from Winnipeg to Vancouver island and back (around 6000 km) towing a roughly 2300 kg travel trailer and could not imagine how effortless it was climbing the mountain passes.

[@danjetsfan1155]

Yeah, I had this on my ‘06 Ridgeline and worked well with a smaller tent trailer, but found the Tundra with a heavier travel trailer kept it near the set speed.

[@SimonCoates]

Techstream software was cracked and is available to buy online for cheap. Maybe that's why Toyota changed to online diagnosis?

[@jimmyaber5920]

Yes. I retired from working for a manufacturer and a live ("cloud") system was the fix for resident systems that could be hacked. The resident systems had protections for log in, but even live log in could be bypassed once the security was decoded. Toyota could have keys loaded using aftermarket scan tools for subscribed key/immobilizer servicing but some issue surfaced and Toyota pulled back this feature from some tools.

Very cool and informative video! FWIW, I did a first oil change on my 2014 Mazda 6 and 2010 Toyota RAV4 V6 at 5K miles. Both cars have ~125K miles (5-6K mile oil change intervals) now and both consume virtually zero oil in 5K miles. Sooooooooo............... not doing a 1K break-in oil change doesn't seem to have hurt these two cars. Just my experience.

[@rightlanehog3151]

For what it's worth, I think 5,000 mile intervals with off the shelf synthetic oil are perfectly sensible. I did a 1000 km (620 mile) break-in oil change when my 1.8 liter 1ZZ-FE engine was new. Then I followed the owners manual severe service interval for the remainder of the 5 year warranty period. During those 5 years I let the dealer use OEM filters and I supplied the Amsoil Signature Series oil. With a Severe Service rating of 15,000 miles or one year for non-turbocharged engines, I am in my 15th year of once-a-year oil changes with Amsoil Signature Series oil and their long-life filters. The engine is as good as new. Please take especially good care of that V6 RAV4, it is a future classic.
