Toyota Tacoma Oil Change 2016+ 3rd Gen

[@luckybastard6352]

One of the better oil change videos

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@austin_d2339]

Agreed!

[@renhoek1967]

Never did one and the clip was hidden from camera. Back to guess work.

LOLOOOO

[@cpsmonroe1]

And also not spending the first 3 minutes explaining what the video will be about. We can read the title in less than 5 seconds.

[@duvalpenny100]

The quart bottle screwing directly into the oil fill is an amazing "hack". I'm always super paranoid in going to get sand and grit into my engine from a dirty funnel. This totally avoids that and saved me from every buying another funnel for the Tacoma!

[@rlreynos]

that was a boss move indeed

[@brandonbaker5729]

Genius idea using the first bottle screwed in as a funnel. Gonna definitely use this one in the future!

[@michaelbolsius3551]

Amazing video. Just did my first oil change on my 3rd gen and it was a breeze.

[@deadbrother5355]

Thank you for the last shot reminding us to enjoy the truck. Its too easy to get stuck on daily momentum, and not enjoy these things we can do that make the grind worth it.

[@MrCxiong116]

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. Hate these Toyota oil filters, they add more steps into doing oil change. I like the old steel can oil filter, just screw them off and put new one in.

[@DOOSHEAN]

The TacomaKid These filters suck balls

[@DOOSHEAN]

The TacomaKid I’m not worried about the design, I understand that they function the same. I just would prefer a normal metal filter. I don’t care that they produce a little more waste. It’s just a little bit of metal. The oil filter setup on my 2nd gen Tacoma was much better and easier. Fees like they went backwards with this one.

[@oscarpallaresmedia21]

@@DOOSHEAN lol a little bit of waste! That's why this world is so f$%k up.

[@DOOSHEAN]

The TacomaKid I’m sorry my opinion on an oil change offended you. I’m not careless about waste and pollution. I pick up other people’s trash when I’m outdoors. I care about the wilderness and keeping it clean. I recycle as much of my waste as I can. Including metal filters when I changed the oil in my old truck. It’s honestly kind of funny that you got pissed off and brought up politics. You should learn to not get so easily offended and assume things about other people.

[@DOOSHEAN]

Oscar Pallares I actually agree with you, but metal in an oil filter is very minuscule. Also, it’s not very hard to not throw them away, and take used filters and oil back to the auto parts store for recycling.

[@IvanAmerson760]

Thank you, not a bunch a talking. A bunch of wasted time watching someone unbolt everything. Short, sweet, to the point, and informative. Great video.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

You're welcome and thank you for the feedback.

[@ns3v3n]

Best instructional videos out there, I watched this video once and got a clear sense how to do it. Most videos doesn’t even show the clip that hold the housing in. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped.

[@mojorayjones]

This video is so cool, I watch it even when I don't need to change my oil! Cool production.

[@kevinkidneyy]

damn near the best video everyone else be doing 30 min videos and talkign too much. this is awesome

[@markoickle9066]

Thanks for the "to the point " demo, I am now ready to do my first Tacoma oil change!

[@nealnelson9309]

I GREATLY appreciate that there was no fluff in this. Just exactly what I wanted to see. Good video.

[@stevensevek6151]

One of the better videos. One thing worth mentioning... Oil pan drain plug torque: 40 N•m/30 ft lbs Oil filter cap torque: 25 (±5) N•m/18 (±3.5) ft lbs Oil filter drain plug torque: 13 N•m/10 ft lbs

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks for the torque specs!

[@d1972leeable]

Ready for my first old change on my '19 Tacoma! Your video will help tremendously! Thank you!

[@solarflare1008]

Ridiculous amount of steps for something that was so easy to do not so long ago. Great info.

[@edwarddillon6016]

I agree, Toyota apparently found it easier, to complicate a far easier screw on filter.

[@cojojacobs3538]

I agree completely...i assumed it would have been a breeze since ive done this on several toyota trucks 2005 and below....boy was i wrong

[@timothyhaskell8262]

What engineering GENIUS came up with this concept?

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Timothy Haskell it seems they try to complicate the design so that the dealership has continues business from the everyday driver

[@lrlapua8035]

stupid setup for sure.....I could change the oil in my old F150 3 times by the time I change it once in my 2020 Tacoma...

[@mikespunchlist]

@@lrlapua8035 And do it without spilling oil all over the driveway like I did doing this!

[@CabanaD]

Wonder how many dealerships are skipping the filter change on the oil service? Going to this filter setup seems ridiculous.

[@s2perman]

great step by step instructions- excellent. no camera movement 12 and 14 mm sockets. perfect.

[@im_caiman4479]

Good video and nice Tacoma. Smart idea to improvise cutting the quart for a funnel. I would caution that it probably isn't good practice to cut it in place as shown in the video. A piece of plastic could potentially get cut off and fall into the oil filler. I have over 200,000 on my Gen 2 but look forward to getting a Gen 3 soon. Thumbs up.

[@guygutierrez263]

Dude, thanks for the video. It made changing my oil a complete breeze, and that oil bottle tip was fantastic.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Guy Gutierrez that’s great to hear! Glad it helped!

[@ianmcintyre8724]

Great video instruction for the oil change. A few more steps than a can filter, but doing once a year not a biggie. Thanks for help when I do my TRD Sport.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks for watching. Glad it could help.

[@honda116969]

1a year? Look up the "the car care nut" on KZbin... Every 6 months is better, you have a very expensive truck and oil changes like 40 or 50 bucks your motors like 10,000

[@codynautic]

My oil filter was over torqued by dealership, Makes me think they never even changed it. Shattered two cup wrenches. Purchased a third, and used the outer 27mm, with 550lb air compressor ratchet . It was the only thing that worked. Great video, sir & I dig the music.

[@magicwc3]

I have the same goddamn issue, so annoying.

[@codynautic]

@@magicwc3 Damn! Sucks. Its a real pain in the rear

[@magicwc3]

Yeah, i broke two of the cheaper stamped cup tools with a 1/2 driver. Ended up having to buy a forged one and use a 24” 5/8 breaker bar to get it loose. Concerned it being run so overtighted compromised the composite housing. Spec is about 18ftlbs, which you can essentially do by hand…

[@FishstixTv]

Finally a cut and dry. No bs video thanx

[@andytraditio2983]

That stupid clip!!! 4 videos and yours was the one that actually talked about it and showed it. Thank you.

[@alexnunez4019]

This video heps every time i change my oil. Invaluable. Thank you

[@traviskas]

short and sweet! thanks! what a pain in the ass they made this gen tacoma to do changes on... miss my 2nd gen for this alone.

[@michaelwhitehead4458]

Thank you so darn much for making a video that didn’t require so much talking

[@davidcampbell1899]

Good Video. I have a Camry with the same type of oil filter arrangement. I would like to meet the Toyota Engineer that designed that oil filter system. I would make him lick the spilled oil up off my driveway. That spout you push into the bottom of the housing just makes a mess. Better off (not by much) with the type that screw in.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

David Campbell haha yeah definitely not the most convenient design

[@nartmot]

I don't know how much it matters or not, but the service manual actually advises that you DONT remove the oil filter clip. Just a FYI for anyone looking to do this for the firs time.

[@geraldmiller4670]

Where did you find a service manual?

[@MrMikey1273]

Don't remove the clip. If you push it down it won't be in the way of the teeth on the filter canister

[@USAisAFK]

For God's sake don't remove this thing. I followed the videos instructions and once you take it off it is INSANELY OBVIOUS this clip is not ment to be removed and put back on repeatedly; it is a very hard steel, and the thin tabs that hold it in place are not ment to flex back and forth. If I had to guess this thing is CRIMPED ON at the factory. Look at the tabs on the clip and how they grip onto the structure, they are CRIMPED ON. shame on the video uploader for putting this info out without correcting it.

[@nickrodriguez6013]

Thanks for the vid. This was the first oil change vid I watched for doing my Tacoma. Man, seems like oil changes are getting more complicated with these newer vehicles. thank you.

[@ChrisLawley43]

Thanks for the video, I’m about to do this on my dads truck as I will be using it for a roadtrip.

[@americanmilitiaman88]

I think the only benefit of a cartridge filter over the traditional filter is being able to see what is being filtered out. Thats about it.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Yeah I think they might just be trying to Reduce waste

[@herbsison3089]

Excellent instructional video !!! Thank you DYA

[@suppaduppa5]

Solid. Man my filter was on so tight i was contemplating if it was mounted backwards 😂

[@krazzielaosboi]

Must be nice to change an oil on a vehicle without jacking it up!!!

[@peekingman]

Yes it is!

[@happykamp789]

Do you actually have to remove the retainer clip? Some have said it is not necessary to do so. You are the first person to even show the retainer clip in the video. Great video.

[@USAisAFK]

2:26 for fucks sake save yourself some heart ache and don't remove this clip. To anyone watching..... don't remove this clip. I watched like 20 other videos after this one and nobody removed the clip. For good reason. It doesn't need to be removed. And it's a pain in the ass in to get back on. This guy's clip slids on and off so easy because his is probably bent all to hell.

[@alexnunez4019]

Thanks boss. Just bought my Tacoma so this was helpful.

[@ruel1072]

Thanks for this. You should also pour some new oil onto the new oil filter to ensure a wet start when turning the engine on. Pour new oil onto the filter after installing it into the oil filter housing.

[@daahveed8072]

I can’t fucking take off the oil filter. It’s tight as fuck. Idk what to do. I need to change that shit, but it’s impossible. I’ve removed the clip and I kind of broke some of the housing trying to take the stupid thing off

Gah. Getting ready to trade in my Jeep on a Tacoma and was REALLY hoping to not have to deal with those oil filters. We have a 4Runner as well and I’d hoped they’d have changed them

[@jaredscott547]

Ever pour oil into filter housing before reapplying?

[@frankbeams4333]

Why did you have to remove the skid plate. You have access even with it on. Never mind. U need to remove to get to oil filter. Ok

[@jsurfslammer]

I did as show and got down the road and the low oil light came on. I looked under and it is leaking around the filter, now waiting on a tow to the dealer to find out what is wrong. Will comment later on what happened that caused the leak!

[@LordZorak11]

Do you really need to put the Retaining Clip back on ? Seems like if you screw it in.. it's probably not going to come out.

[@rblaclewell]

I don’t think you need to take it off at all to do the oil change. I had a Camry with the same filter and never had an issue. I changed the oil in that car 10 times and never took out the clip.

Do you totally snug down the filter housing? Had a hell of a time getting mine off today and when putting on I didn’t go all the way tight. Still very snug, just didn’t want to crack the plastic lol
