Oil Change on a 2007 Toyota Matrix Theory

[@turbomundo1]

Nailed it. No frilly edits or clever musical interludes. Just a helpful ginger and his canine assistant showing you how to do an oil change right. Thank you!

Thanks for the video PartFinder. I was mainly watching this just to get the size of the oil plug bolt (which was provided). I saw a few small things I do differently, like opening the cap on the crankcase to allow the oil to drain better from the pan (creates more of a vacuum). He did have a reference to a washer for the oil plug, that's important; and you may very well need an oil filter wrench to remove that oil filter. I also use ramps with jack stands, but his way works too. Again, appreciate the video.

the location of the filter makes it a bit tough - with the low profile of the car you definitely need the jack stands. I suggest putting an old grocery bag (recycle/reuse) over the filter when taking it off to avoid drips. Also do this with cardboard under the car to avoid oil stains on the cement. Oil weight is on the engine cap 5W30. I suggest synthetic (as any Matrix still on the road is likely an older model). You may need an oil filter grip/wrench . The oil pan nut is (as I've heard) 14mm.

Hi, I’m about to purchase an 07 matrix M in a few hours… The service engine light is on but the seller said it’s been like that for over a year and drives like a dream…. Any common reasons why the check engine light is on?
