@shannonhubbard3572 appreciate the feedback on the video and glad to be of service!

[@trohskcin]

Thanks for putting all the tools needed for the job in your videos it’s super helpful

[@EngineeredMojo]

Oh yea, figure it can save people some valuable time. Appreciate the feedback!

[@STANDRDUSER]

Thanks for this. I have the 2019 LE and today was the first time paying for an oil change. $175 is hefty AF. Next time, I’ll do it myself.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Definitely an easy savings to achieve! Good luck when you get a chance to change it, shouldn't take long at all

[@RexenPrime]

If your payi g $175 for an oil change on a car like this then something is wrong and your being robbed.

@@RexenPrime they do engine and throttle cleaning for 370$ that they recommend to be done twice a year 😂. Not at Toyota, but at small oil change brands

[@serranorosario8661]

would like to see where you set the jack stand

[@EngineeredMojo]

In this particular video it is set underneath the car subframe. Hard to explain, but it's the main car structure that the lower control arms attach to

[@tleung3924]

Would you make a video on a coolant flush on a C-HR.

[@EngineeredMojo]

I'll add to my list!!

[@RacerRoss]

Good simple video, thanks!

[@EngineeredMojo]

Glad to hear the video was clear and simple

[@lejohnbrames]

do you know the diameters of the washer ? i see different sizes online

[@libglade3696]

Thanks for instruction. In my C-HR hybrid, the oil smells like exhaust fumes. Even after the oil exchange at the Dealership during the inspection after returning home (40 miles) there was a distinct smell of exhaust fumes. Is it normal? The car consumes fuel normally.

[@EngineeredMojo]

That's not normal, but during the oil change the dealership may have spilled overflow oil on the valve cover as a possibility. Once the engine heats up, it'd start to burn off the thin film of any oil. Other than that, if your fuel consumption is normal may be a small exhaust leak. Hope this leads you in a direction to find the cause of the smell!

[@libglade3696]

​@@EngineeredMojo I'm not sure if I expressed myself precisely but this smell is not outside the car but on the dipstick. After half a year, the intensity is at the same level.

[@EngineeredMojo]

@Lib Glade oh I understand now, that is unusual for sure. No real way for gas to mix into the oil in such a manner typically. I've only come across oil getting into the intake and combustion with the air/fuel mixture producing a blue/gray smoke from the tailpipe. If no smoke from tailpipe, I'd keep an eye on the oil level as well as fuel consumption

[@libglade3696]

@@EngineeredMojo Some time ago, some users wrote to Toyota that they have gasoline in the oil and that their oil level increases by about 5 mm between inspections. Toyota even recorded a video on YT where they say that everything is fine and the level may even increase by 2.5 cm and everything will be OK. I thought I had the same as them but I don't have an oil level rise.

[@grungr668]

I have a 2018 chr. Question, my filter replacement is a paper type filter in the oil housing. Which is not common.... for me. Can I replace with a regular oil filter?

[@EngineeredMojo]

Typically, you cannot switch between the two types given the way it the different types connect to the engine block. But a paper filter type is still a simple swap, just be sure to remember to change your O-ring as well!

[@cidpusa700]

Awesome great job thanks, Please also post the transmission oil change

[@EngineeredMojo]

Glad the video was helpful! I'll add that video topic to my list!

[@eddeewhat5553]

Putting the tools needed was genius. Looks as if you could have used a socket or screwdriver to remove cover. Either way great video.👍🏽

[@EngineeredMojo]

Appreciate the video feedback! I try to get important time saver info out front. Noted on the additional tools that may be needed!

[@Roshan_3590]

Hello, I just bought a Toyota CHR 2020 and I live in a tropical island Mauritius, so i wanted to know which engine oil should i use 0W-20 or 5W-30?

[@EngineeredMojo]

I'd contact you closest Toyota dealer, they'll be able to give some insight based on the local climate which oil weight would be best!

[@thisfeelslikepeace]

Does the 2018 notify you if you need an oil change?

[@waseemlatifoilwala226]

I want to get information from you

[@panhuragan4388]

I want to know your opinion on engine cleaning services they offer me each time for 300$. Is it even worth it once a year or just scam?

[@EngineeredMojo]

I wouldn't spend 300 on it. Unless you drive your vehicle off road within dirt roads, your engine bay won't even get that dirty over years of use. A hand wipe with a damp cloth you can do yourself very easily

[@panhuragan4388]

They offer cleaning the system from throttle body to the engine, not wiping the mask of the engine bay;)

[@mariansirbu867]

Don't forget that always when you change the oil, change also the gasket of the screw from the drainage of the oil pan.I have 2019 C-HR and always I am doing like that.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Definitely good tip!!

[@hestonpfheffer1299]

Good tip using the sandpaper. 😊

[@EngineeredMojo]

Awesome to hear!

[@llegendaryduckk9876]

Thank you. I am going to attampt to change my own oil from now on.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Great to hear and good luck on the oil change!

[@marciaz31]

Great video ....Do I lose the oil change settings if I change the 12v battery ?

[@EngineeredMojo]

That's a good question and I am not sure about this particular car. Typically, the answer is no given your oil life monitor is tracked by the powetrain control module and not affected by power outage.

[@marciaz31]

@@EngineeredMojo Thank You for your reply .... Yesterday I put in a new battery in my CHR and started to wonder about my oil change warning still popping up ....

Glad the video was useful for you! Thanks for taking time to share a comment

[@georgea.henryjr.5191]

LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION TO THE ENTIRE TOYOTA CHR FAMILY! WHAT TYPE OF FILTER IS USED ON A 2018 TOYOTA CHR XLE PREMIUM? I NOTICED WHEN I CHECKED DIFFERENT WEBSITE, IT SHOWS THE SPIN ON FILTER AND THE FILTER THAT HAS TO BE PUT IN A COVER. I'VE EVEN PUT IN THE VIN NUMBER. BUT STILL RECEIVED THE TWO OPTIONS!

[@TheAceY2k]

Same thing for a 2021?

[@EngineeredMojo]

Should be similar! Toyota has not done a full generation update to the CHR yet

[@Mishatheaudioguy]

Great video

[@EngineeredMojo]

Glad it was well received 🙏🏾

[@ericcabrera8239]

Should I change my oil every 5000 miles since it’s synthetic?

[@EngineeredMojo]

Toyota states 5000 miles, but I'll typically will go up to 7500 miles on my personal cars.

[@jhonepo]

Excellent. thanks for sharing!

[@EngineeredMojo]

Glad video was helpful! Appreciate the comment and feedback

[@proctor9443]

hiii, nice video, i liked it, is it the same process on a hybrid chr? thanks ✌🏼

[@EngineeredMojo]

Should be a similar process :)

[@futbolislife672]

Question, I got myself a 2018 Toyota CHR. What’s your oil change interval? I checked the owners manual and nothing shows. I went to Toyota and they told me every 10,000 miles. Personally, that seems like too much to me but are you following that interval?

[@EngineeredMojo]

Yeah 10k miles is what I go by, with full synthetic motor oil it's a reasonable interval. Our CHR currently has 35k miles. After about 90k I'll prob start changing oil every 5k miles just to feel better about motor health. Don't know if it will prolong life, but hope so

[@TJEpicMedia]

I do mines every 5000 miles. With full synthetic. Reason being is because the maintenance light keeps coming on after 4500, and tells you to get ready to do maintenance. But it also blocks my speedometer and everything else i use while driving.

[@lazizboss5628]

Every 6 months or 5K miles. Whichever comes first if you want your engine to last longer

[@panhuragan4388]

Many old school engineers say it has to be 2500-3000 no matter what because of dirt and water breaking in the engine

[@mikellandrum6673]

I'm old school I do mine every 3 to 5k miles. The price of doing it yourself makes where it's feasible to do it so often

[@waldi-ds1ev]

Was für Motor hat Ihr C-HR ? 1,8 oder 2,0 ?

[@EngineeredMojo]

@@waldi-ds1ev vehicle in this video has a 2.0L

[@Rampo123]

I thought you change the c-hr oil every 7000-10000? or is that wrong

[@EngineeredMojo]

For synthetic oil, that interval is probably fine. Toyota just wants you to come in for service every 5k miles for overall upkeep it seems to me since they change out parts every other oil change in their published maintenance schedule and cuts chances of them/driver missing their scheduled parts change and them collecting money haha

[@phamily-tv]

Change every 5000 miles

[@petec.619]

That's what the different color markers are when they're checking everything or doing the maintenance that's why you always see a blue or white or yellow and white then blue again and that makes me think the white is when they don't do anything they just mark it off because they seem to color prior to it

@@EngineeredMojo Yes, avoids 1st dry start. Too much oil, though, and it spills when you tilt. Amount depends on filter angle. 🤪

Using a lighter winter oil weight when the temperature drops may improve cold starts and maximize wear protection at startup, but I'd definitely defer to manufacturer recommendations!

[@rajeshchetty5519]

@@EngineeredMojo what im saying is the W stands for winter not weight

@@EngineeredMojo but you are right, if you live in tropical temps you can use 0w only the summer number matters

@rajeshchetty5519 you're right I misspoke it's 0w20 oil weight as the full term, with the sub term "w" standing for winter

[@INYOURFACE-1]

I changed 2× a year. June and December Never pass 12000 miles a year

it would be good if you actually said what engine it has. just the manufacture year says nothing. Different cars come in different models with a multitude of different engines. This video is useless as it is right now because there is no way to tell who can find it useful

@@EngineeredMojo thanks for the quick reply! that gets me one step closer to finding out exactly what I need. Im still confused though because now ive seen 2 tutorials both for 1.8 engines but one had a spin on filter like you, and one had a cartridge oil filter with a different filter housing. same engine, year etc. weird. now here is the best part, when i look up replacement parts based on model and engine, i get both types of filter. i guess i need to just get under the car and check myself
