I don't know why I'm watching this, I drive a 2022 Toyota Camry 😂

[@carguy...]

This is why I go to my mechanic 😂😂😂😂

The oil filter housing is a reservoir so even with a drain of the oil it is going to be full of oil!!! Changing oil and filters is ALWAYS messy! Best you put plenty of stuff down to catch the residue! Then you have the problem of cleaning the oil pan and surrounding areas to prevent oil stink burn off!!!! Good luck!!!

[@tobiaskolb9011]

You want to change the oil. Do WAIT Until it is completely out of the car.

[@Jimmysnookerman]

Nice car man, what year is it ??

[@SteveHeil-tb7wg]

Why wouldn't you just wait for it to stop draining?

[@Mikemasar]

@@SteveHeil-tb7wg takes too long I waited 20 minutes and it was still draining and it’s such a small amount that it doesn’t matter

[@jdev232]

Of you want to make sure the oil is completely out... start the car after removing drain plug. Goose it, ever so slightly...empty in no time, eh

[@JMD535]

...mentions "tighten to 35-Ft-Lbs",...then proceeds to 'strong-arm the oil pan plug"! SMH Why not add the amount of oil based on the required capacity to be added when oil and oil filter is changed! I'm sure it's in the Owner's Manual. You save money,...no doubt, but a sloppy job! Edit: I gave a "Like" for the effort!

beautiful spec and hats off to you for doing it yourself. Beyond my comfort zone 😂

I like the low profile ramps, are they high enough to get under there? How high do they go? I'd rather do that than jack stands.

[@Mikemasar]

@@madisondrumz their about 5-6 inches high. I wish they were higher but they do the job.
