I really don’t understand why everyone doesn’t like these designs. I didn’t particularly like it at first but I have had no issues with it once I learned how to do it. I do my own oil changes so I’ve never had the issue with it being on too tight. That’s what you get for having other people do your oil changes for you. Considering the fact that there’s no metal going into landfills I have to think this is is much more environmentally sound than the old all in one filters. What’s the major beef with this design?

[@bryanwilliams4620]

@@condor5635 I also don't understand why people complain these filters, some people just have to complain I guess. I did my first one and thought it worked well. I put a length of hose on the nipple to direct the oil to the drain pan. I found this design less messy than the spin on filters. If people prefer to make a bigger mess and not mess with the small O ring, they can just remove the whole thing and replace the filter without removing the plug. That's how most dealers do it because it's faster.

[@tjsoutherbassin]

@@condor5635 My issue is that you are required to purchase a special tool to be able to do this, I would have no problem with the design if they just made it where you could put a 1" socket on the end to screw the cap off, I am a volvo penta marine mechanic and they use a similar design but no special tool required, just a 1" socket or adjustable wrench

[@stephenmaurer7008]

Great advise on servicing this type of oil filter. The key is not to over tighten the the drain cap or filter body. Just a little past snug. O-rings do not need to be "over tight " to form a good seal. I have noticed lots of mechanics and Toyota service centers seem to over tighten this assembly. Main reason I change my own oil on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. I will pass this video onto my brother, he drives a 2015 4Runner.

[@400hpmustang]

I snugged the canister, then half a turn, figured that was good., how about you?

[@megans.5729]

Mine has the metal housing so the only o ring I have to replace is around the outside of the filter. Nothing to drain it though so there's always a mess 😅

Gonna give this a try on the venza tomorrow morning. I got all the right tools, oil and filters. I even did a pre-inspection yesterday just to make sure I had everything. Thanks for getting straight to the point and covering all the steps. I'll let you know how it goes

[@rackets7991]

If you have trouble seating the filter assy just screw counter clockwise.. You will feel it will fall into the correct position.. The just turn clockwise and tighten. Also you can install the smaller o-ring & cover before you install the filter housing..

[@edcones2948]

Nicely done. I have started putting a short piece of 3/8" clear hose into the filter drain tube. The OD is just right to fit in it and seal pretty well. Then when it drains it runs through the tube to wherever I put it instead of the palm of my hand. :) MotiveXTools has a kit with a nice cap for removing the housing and a metal tool and hose that screws into that opening.

[@anthonylale1142]

Good idea about the hose attachment. I like that

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

A 5/8" ID hose fits perfectly over the outside of the filter drain tube, and makes draining easy and clean. :👍

[@navyseabee0823]

You Sir- deserve the Nobel peace price!! I’m so mad now learning that I’ve been doing oil changes wrong for the last 14 years only to discover where the small o ring goes to and the the stupid plastic piece that comes with the filter. I seriously never knew! Thank you.

[@MrMikey1273]

Good advice. I just did the oil change on my new Tacoma at 4500 miles yesterday. One thing I did different was put the drain cover back on the canaster off the truck. That seemed logical to me. I also use the MotiveX cap wrench. It's got cut outs to grip the little fingers on the canaster as well as the flutes. Feel like it holds more steady than the cap wrenches I used and threw out in the past. It's a good tool I'd recommend it.

[@masterofnone1808]

That Motivx wrench has been updated with a new improved version. There are no slots in the new one but it is more precisely made at 64.3 mm. It fits snugly on all Toyota cartridge style oil filter caps gripping each of the fourteen flutes and will even work on some spin-on filters. I used mine for the first time this morning. This one will absolutely not crack the ears on the plastic oil filter caps and provides superior grip by gripping all 14 flutes. The only thing I wish they did is make the top so that it would take the same 27 mm socket but no, the new one takes a 24 mm socket.

[@MrMikey1273]

@@masterofnone1808 interesting that they changed the design. I wonder if it is because people were breaking the ears off their canisters?

[@masterofnone1808]

@@MrMikey1273 Yes that was at least part of the problem. I think the ears were taking all the load and the flutes weren't engaging at all most if the time. When I questioned Motivx about why they redesigned their wrench, the following was their reply... "Here's the differences between the newer and older versions: The first is that the square 3/8" drive opening of the old design tended to deform and potentially strip out over time, especially with overtightened oil filter caps. This is because it is a one piece design made entirely from 6061 Aluminum. Our new design uses two types of aluminum, 6061 for the body (the grey part) and 7075 for the drive hub (the red part). 7075 aluminum, which is typically used in the aircraft industry and has properties similar to steel, will not yield (deform) when the ratchet is rotated even with the tightest oil filter caps completely eliminating this issue. The second is that our new design is manufactured using precision CNC machining as opposed to forging (or casting like most others). While casting or forging is less expensive to produce, the tolerance is much larger causing the need for the wrenches to be oversized. This creates a loose fit which can cause rounding of the cap. To combat this, the tabs below the fluted portion of the cap are used to help prevent the wrench from over-rotating and rounding. The downside to this is that sometimes those tabs can break off and cause an oil leak which we have seen many times. With our new design combine with CNC machining, we can maintain the size of the wrench to .001" or better which is a MUCH tighter tolerance than casting or forging. We have sized them to account for thermal expansion of the cap (which is significant) and they have an ideal fit when the engine is still warm. They will be slightly loose when used on a cold engine but not enough to slip as we have tested this extensively. Lastly, because there is a difference in the lower portion of the oil filter caps the older version of the tool would only work on the 2.0L - 5.7L engines. The new version also works for the 1.8L cartridge style as well as the two smaller Toyota spin-on style oil filters. The new version is also made in the USA whereas the older one was made in Taiwan however we were able to keep the price the same. -MotivXSupport"

Yeah, the gasket seems to swell up once it's been on there for a while and makes it VERY difficult to loosen the canister later.

[@yellostallion]

The dealership did the "free" oil changes on my tundra at 10k and 20k as set by their schedule. Then at 25k they notified to come in for a paid oil change. I decided to do it myself. I used my legs like a weight lifter's jerk and the canister would not budge. Even after tapping, wd40 and 2 hrs of trying. By the look of things I don't think the dealership ever removed the skid plate or the oil filter. I hired a trust worthy mechanic who has a big ass 30" torque wrench and he finally got it to turn. I wont be going back to that dealership.

[@alexwill3722]

@@yellostallion I had the first 8 oil changes done by the dealership because they were included. The last 3 or 4 I paid them to do. I looked carefully at the invoice on the last oil change because it cost almost double what it did before and noticed a charge of $40 for an Oil Filter Assembly" so I looked at the previous paid oil change bills and noticed that one other time they charged for the same thing. I'm glad that the change I just did myself. I could loosen the filter housing easily but I tried loosening it before doing any other oil draining because it is easy to crack the housing if you have to apply too much torque to get a seized one off.

[@njsongwriter]

After the oil filter cap bottoms out you're not going to give another quarter turn. Just a tug of maybe ⅛ inch should meet the torque spec of 18 ft.lbs. Snug with a quarter turn more will be way too tight and the oil filter cap and the drainbolt have two different torque specs. The drainbolt should only be 10 ft.lbs. (about half as tight as the oil filter cap).

Wow. That was the most simplest explained video on how to change the oil on this specific vehicle. Thank you so much.

[@peterrudy9207]

You can get a cast aluminum filter housing to replace the plastic one . Also to clean the filter housing completely . Lube all around the o rings , side and bottom before installing . As I stopped using the plastic tube on the bottom . Because of course it presses against the spring to open and allow oil to drain . I would rather not weaken the spring overtime . And just take the whole thing off , messier of course . Tip it over to drain the oil out . Then take off the bottom , metal cap . Replace all o-rings with the new ones that come with the filter . I would also use a new drain plug gasket , each time too . I always retightened the filter housing by hand and never had any issues .

[@Methodical2]

Only problem with that is you have no leverage to get the metal ring off and I'd rather not put any undue stress on the plastic housing. Basically, I take the metal ring off while on the car; it's much easier. You can then remove the plastic housing if you choose too.

[@xman777b]

thanks. Performed my first Toyota oil change yesterday. Tightened the cannister all the way (to a stop) by hand. However, was not able to budge it any tighter, with the filter wrench & socket combination. I'm hoping it's sufficiently secure, and wouldn't want to sabotage an engine with only 25k miles due to massive oil loss. Do you think I'm ok?

[@alexwill3722]

Just finished doing my first oil change on our 2017 Highlander. The first 4 years the oil services were covered and even after that the cost of an oil change was barely more that if I would have done it myself so I went to the dealership. That was until a couple oil changes ago when the cost suddenly doubled. Not only that but I have always kept my invoices for any services and I noticed an almost $40 ( Canadian dollars ) for an " oil kit" so 'i checked a couple oil changes ago and there was another charge of $40 for an "oil kit assembly".which I believe is a replacement plastic oil filter housing. I have to look into this further but this charge was never on the invoice for any of the other oil changes. So back to me doing my own oil change ( I've always changed my own oil in the past 30+ years, so I'm no rookie ). I decided to check if the oil canister could be could be removed first before draining any oil so I loosened the housing drain plug a quarter turn and then tried the tool I bought for removing the canister just to se if it would turn at all. It did so I left it and completed taking the drain plug on the plastic housing off and using the filter supplied tool to drain the housing. Then I drained the oil pan where I noticed there was no washer / gasket on the drain plug. Got stuck to the pan and it didn't fall off the plug when ||I removed it meaning the dealership mechanic never put one on. Th rubber O ring that fits around the oil filter housing can also be removed without using a pick all you have to do is put you thumb on one side and your index finger on the other side. push in and push towards the other side and the O ring will bulge out enough for you to grab it and lift it off. When you latter add the oil into the funnel, hold the bottle so that the opening on the bottle is on top ( the opposite of the way you would traditionally pour the bottle ) this will keep the oil from " surging out" of the bottle and it pours out smoothly. It's not a big deal but it prevents possible splillige and also works with windshield washer fluid.

It's there to prevent the filter from unscrewing itself in the event it wasn't tightened enough. Meant to engage on the "ears" of the filter housing. Looks like the one on his engine is bent out of the way. I see many cars with them missing entirely. It is not an essential part but I have seen cases where it did work as intended, filter housings on only by a few threads yet still not leaking due to the o-ring.

Good, simple video. Good job. I recommend re-install canister snug, then torque to OEM spec 18 ft/lbs. Install Cap snug, then torque to OEM spec 9 ft/lbs. Over-tight causes micro-cracks in plastic housing, and then nothing but trouble. If you crack housing, replace with cast aluminum housing.

Some of us who have been around the block a few times add engine oil to the canister with the filter in place. Take your time and add oil little by little to allow the new (dry) filter element to wet out and absorbed as much oil as it is willing to take before installing. This allows oil to pass thru the filter quicker upon start up. I have been doing this for years. OBTW, those black thingeys are O-Rings.

[@spacecoastz4026]

Technically the filter cartridge should cost less that the typical spin-on filter...since you're not buying the metal housing. The more I look at it, the more i think this cartridge/canister system is the way to go. Normally I use a metal spike to punch a small hole in my spin-on filters to allow it to drain while still on the vehicle. Nonetheless, due to the anti-drain valve you still get oil spillage as soon as the filter is spun loose. With this no more using a hammer and spike to drain the filter housing...plus I can still pre-fill my new filter with new oil by re-installing the bottom plate cap first, then insert the new filter, pre-fill, and install.

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

5:11 DOUBLE CHECK that the small gasket is still in place on the base of the canister as you set that cap in place.

None of the 27-part complex multi-screw, weird attachment, crap. Its as if they REALLY REALLY want to force people into go to their dealer for all their oil changes by designing it in such a complicated and "scary" way.

[@MulloyDIY]

Would have loved to see you pre- fill the canister. I’m not here to argue the merit of such - others have tested and proven it beneficial. For those that care, the torque specs are as follows: 30 ft lbs for the drain bolt 18 ft pbs for the canister 9 ft lbs for the canister plug All are easy to over tighten and damage, but all will last forever if they are properly torqued. And FYI you don’t have to use the canister plug/drain/small o ring every time. The Car Care Nut never uses or changes them and they never leak.

[@LA_Commander]

Wow, that sure looks like a big hassle compared to just unscrewing a normal spin-on filter. I'm not a fan of these cartridge-style filters.

Like about 3 others on this list, I would like to know about the filter clip that shows up at about 3 oclock on the canister. Isn't that supposed to keep the filter from unscrewing and was it not working properly in the video?

[@gregnixon1296]

Can I use a standard oil filter wrench to remove the filter housing, or does this vehicle require one specific to the housing size?

[@hANNAbONE]

a coupla things...#1 : that plastic doohickey that fits into the first removed metal threaded "bolt"...that can be inserted then turned to open so the oil drains quicker. The more you turn it into the canister the quicker it will flow the old oil. #2 : you could simply put the small O-ring on top of that same metal "bolt" and cinch it up to the canister, right??

[@ScubaCat3]

On #2, NO - you need to be sure it's properly seated in the groove. I just put it in the groove and spin the small bolt/cap on before I install the housing. No need to do it up in the vehicle, but everyone has his/her own way.

[@robertslegers257]

Many Toyota lube techs have told me that pre draining the cannister is just a waste of time. Unscrew the cannister and let the oil drain.

[@nevmitch2]

@@robertslegers257 i think the pre draining is only to expose the small O ring first which does have to be changed at times....imagine trying to remove that bolt with the assembly off the car

[@BashoStrikes]

And what does one do if the dealer or the oil change place used a pneumatic wrench to screw the filter canister on to the tune of 50+ foot lbs.? My wrench broke trying to get it off. I took it back and made them loosen it to the proper foot lbs. Ridiculous.

[@GorillazGames]

Bro, they tightened mine on so much, i ended up accidentally breaking one of the little plastic fins on the cannister. I thought it was minimal enough to keep using....long story short, I had to buy a replacment. I got the metal one instead.

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Quick question. I see everyone using the plastic piece to drain filter of oil. I’m assuming you can just skip that step and unscrew the whole thing correct? May be a bit more messy but that’s ok. Just looking and the different services of this vehicle as I may be trading in my equinox by the end of the year. Thanks for the video.

[@HuskerRed11]

I believe so yeah. I don't think that lil plastic piece is really needed. Like you said it'll be a lil more messier but that's what shop towels are for. 😂

[@GorillazGames]

Ok, update: So I changed the oil in the venza...but not without a major issue. The toyota dealership i was taking it to prior decided to put the oil filter cap on with a godamn impact wrench and "overtightened" it. As I was taking it off with all my might, one of the fins cracked off of the cap...but was seemingly minimal enough, I continued to use it. When I started the car, immediatley looked under the car for leaks...and godammit, oil was shooting from the filter cap like a supersoaker. Needless to say, I replaced that fa33ot plastic cap with an aluminum one. Fit like a glove, cleaned up my mess, did not overthighten, gaskets were lubricated. Mission complete. Thank you

[@GEARMOAUTO]

Dang. Well I'm glad you are smart enough to check under the engine after a filter change. You would be surprised how many people call it good and start driving. Well done sir. Without Struggle there is no progress

[@GorillazGames]

@@GEARMOAUTO ya thanks. I checked immediatley when i turned the key. I acutally didnt even have to add oil i was so quick. Anyway, thanks for the video...and yes....no struggle, no progress.

[@donweimer9264]

Stupid design for an oil filter but, I would be leery of the snug and quarter turn tightening method especially with the plastic housing. I would hand tighten and then use a torque wrench to tighten it to factory spec. I wouldn't take the chance of over tightening and breaking the housing. Just an observation.

[@stacylangford8015]

It's not a quarter turn after contact. Your gonna cause people to break the housing. Look up the torque specs. The o-ring seals it, not pressure from torque

[@masterofnone1808]

18 ft.lbs. (almost half as tight as the drainplug in the oil pan).

[@tariqbhatti6584]

I can’t get the bottom metal piece to open. If I turn it the whole canister opens. Got any suggestions? Thanks!

[@ecotonemurphy1197]

Just take the whole thing off. Messy but works, and you can take the bottom screw off using two tools. One to hold the canister and the other to open the screw.

[@KeeptheFireBurning777]

How much Nm must i use for the big oilfilter key ? and for the small one with the small o ring ?

[@johnnymckissick2735]

I would put the bottom cap on first then prime/fill the filter to prevent a low oil pressure start up.

[@bobg3221]

Yeah, I just changed mine today for the first time because I just purchased the car about a month and a half ago. The dealer said they change the oil but I drive the car a lot. It looked clean when I checked it, but I just wanted to make sure I changed it today and yeah, it was kind of a struggle with that oil filter, it shouldn’t be that bad the next time since the dealer changed it, they probably heroed it on even the drain plug was kind of snug. It was on there pretty damn tight.

[@PianoUniverse]

It there any reason you cant take off the filter without draining it first?

[@stjohnsriverrat]

When I changed mine, The whole cannister came off, I didnt realize the center plug was supposed to come out. I replaced the large o ring and couldn't figure out where the small o ring goes. I placed in on the bottom of center part that goes through the filter element.

[@DominiAeternum]

I've never changed the smaller gasket or taken out and cleaned the spring mechanism for the bottom part of the canister filter assembly. Is that a big problem? I don't even understand why they have a gasket there and what the purpose of the bottom part of the canister is.

[@homerfry9234]

It makes a big mess a little mess.

[@DominiAeternum]

@homerfry9234 problem is not all Toyota filters have that option. Some you just have to take off the whole canister.

I have this kind of filter on two Toyotas i have i kind of like the drain fitting it beats the heck out of my Subaru legacy getting my arm and exhaust covered in oil pulling out the metal canister filter and having it spill all over everything . I am betting Toyota did it for environmental reasons so you don't have canisters of oil leaking out in garbage dump

On mine I found that the metal plug on the bottom is stuck tight on the filter housing . Any idea how I can take that off so I can change the small O-ring ?

[@dananolan7847]

Merry Christmas morning, I can understand you wanting to replace the small O-ring, but in all honesty it is not absolutely necessary. With that said, if you're still inclined to change it out it would be easy enough to Secure the filter housing in a vice just snug enough to where it will not twist, and then go about removing the inner plug that contains the small O-ring. That's one way. You could also apply some heat while performing this surgery on your filter housing.

[@stepzc]

Great video! Is the filter cover cap a 3/8" or 1/2" square?

[@jtjones4727]

If I recall right, it's a 3/8" square.

[@noniespam]

Can I question the 1/4 turn to snug. I’ve read several manuals and watched other videos that recommend a specific tork like 18 ft lbs and that doesn’t come close to a 1/4 turn after first contact. Just asking as I’m getting a Toyota and looking for info as I plan on my own oil changes.

[@GEARMOAUTO]

Yes proper torque is best. I wish I didn't say that cause snug to a mechanic and snug to a non mechanic are different. I will see about putting the torque spec in the comments
