2018 Toyota Corolla engine oil and filter change

2018 Toyota Corolla LE with 2ZR-FE 1.8 Liter engine

[@samsacre]

The book says 10,000 miles but I won’t go that long 5000 is my maximum! The oil is the lifeblood of the car but you know that Mr. Toyota maintenance! Big thumbs up

[@raylegend808]

I wish they would use this type oil filter on all toyota’s 😀

[@SeanPopify]

I'd remove the vanity cover just to check for valve cover gasket leaks, rat nests and any weirdness. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE GLOVEBOX! 😁😁😁😁

Part about the car loving the new oil made me smile haha

Peter, thank you for your wonderful videos. I had a question about the timing chain tensioner on the 2AZ-FE engine which is in my 2006 Toyota RAV4. My question is can the tensioner be adjusted? I realize that the tensioner is hydraulically controlled but I have heard that there is a procedure to adjust the timing chain tensioner by loosening the two nuts and letting the tensioner to be adjusted. Thank you!

[@fortis619]

I’m surprised that Corolla is still using that type of oil filter , wish Toyota would’ve kept that style for all its vehicles

[@Starman-yt8lj]

My son’s 2013 has the cartridge filter. Not sure when they went back to the canister type.

[@robertomulero514]

@@Starman-yt8lj They went back to the metal canister spin on oil filter about halfway through 2015 on the corollas. Luckily the spin on oil filter housing can fit 2009-2015 1.8 engines on the corolla 2ZR-FE motors. I did the conversion on my 2010 corolla to the spin on filter. Very easy to do with toyota OEM parts from a 2016. Much better than the cartridge paper type. www.ptetra.com/blogs/blog/project-lexus-ct200h-spin-on-oil-filter-conversion

[@davidr.wilson8194]

For anyone with a 2003 Corolla,or the 1ZZFE engine of similar years there is a TSB for an updated engine oil quantity.Originally the oil level was 3.3 qts. but the TSB updates the oil level to 4.4 qts.There is an updated dipstick available.I don't have the updated dipstick but,just like this guy,I put 4.5 qts. in when I change my oil.

[@Hernsama]

What about the new dynamic force engine 2.0 the Corolla has, what do you think about that engine?

[@564bruno]

Hello sir, I am thinking of buying a 2010 GX460 with under 30,000 miles. The car has been sitting outside for about 3 years. What items should I be sure to replace/check?

[@guidedbygreen1480]

Wow good find.

[@mikeatv]

i have that funnel its excellent.....!

[@bwest-yq3uc]

Glad to see the common sense oil change procedures. Toyota messed up and removed the Dip Stick. What was they thinking?

[@righteousredneck777]

It takes 4.4 quarts. A bit more won't hurt probably,but you got to be careful overfilling

[@marwinvictolero9838]

congratulations on 100k subs.now let’s get that 200k

[@agustinra1007]

Someone knows which models have normal oil filter and which have the plastic housing?

[@christopherboucher2887]

Bought this car a bit over a year ago and I'm only now hitting 29,000 km. (18,000 miles) Previous owner only drove it 14,000 km in 3 years. (8700 miles). Better than expected upgrade from 2014 Corolla. I let Toyota do the first free oil swap but I prefer to do it myself after that. Thanks for the in depth run through. One thing I've always wondered though. I had an 06' Tundra she the oil filter was on top of the engine. It was great. Unnecessary though, as I could not easily slide under the body without jacking it up. Why not have the filter on top for lower cars, and remove the need for jack stands all together?

[@parulp6385]

Great video but wrong oil. Always use Quaker State Full synthetic 5w 30 - never use 0w20 unless you live in some extremely cold area. QS oil is #1 with a over 130K protection. Mobile one is weak and so are almost all the other ones.Always use 5w30 for almost all modern cars(except diesel).

[@roynorw]

This is the best oil change video I’ve ever seen great job technician 👍

[@perunut4656]

That’s the one thing I can just about do on the car, a bit messy but at least you know it’s done properly and with the branded oil you prefer.

[@imranabbasi7871]

Good luck 👍

How is it this car has real oil filter and my 2015 has darn canister, plastic type

You can convert your 2015 the the spin on metal oil filter type if you want if you have a corolla with the 2ZR engine. www.ptetra.com/blogs/blog/project-lexus-ct200h-spin-on-oil-filter-conversion

[@M447DT]

Check the throttle body for carbon biuld up. If it has carbon clean it out. You will notice a slightly better acceleration if its never been done and if its dirty. I have a 2016 Corolla and I took the airbox hose off and had access to the throttle body and it was pretty dirty. I decided to clean it out and I felt that the car drove faster and has become more efficient after that.

[@aliendroneservices6621]

0:53 30k mile service should include brake-fluid exchange.

[@rayemanuel7460]

Absolutely not. Soonest recommended is 3 years.

[@davinp]

I have a 2018 Corolla SE with premium package and it only has 8,000 miles! That is because I don't drive much and did less driving last year during the pandemi

[@LuisCruz-ty8sl]

Is royal purple good oil?

[@drawbridge611]

I have a Tacoma with the 2TR-FE 4 cylinder, and the filter is way up on the passenger side of the block. You have to be Houdini with long arms to get to it. I like the arrangement on this Corolla much better.

Thank you Peter. Carolla looks nice. Great to keep up with maintenance. Do you have a preference for engine air filter I switched over to K&N. Pricey but good quality.

[@peterfernandezjr5914]

The oil fill cap and dipstick should be removed before the oil drain plug is released for a better drain of the old oil.

[@lukecrowe4199]

You should open the oil fill cap while draining gravity helps all the old oil come out better. Also you should use oil around the oil filter before installing it back on.

When did Corolla go to that oil filter? I have a 2015 and has a cartridge type...hmmm

[@robertomulero514]

You just missed out. The went back to metal spin on type towards the tail end of 2015 for the 2016 models. The filter housing is the same so if you want to switch to the metal spin on type it's easily done. www.ptetra.com/blogs/blog/project-lexus-ct200h-spin-on-oil-filter-conversion

[@guidedbygreen1480]

Yah just convert

[@Pallidus_Rider]

More Corolla content 🙏

[@jkk244]

I always fill the filter with new oil before installing it. When the filter sits sideways like this one, I fill it up about halfway with oil and the filter media absorbs it so nothing leaks out when I turn it sideways to install it. That way, there is already some oil in the filter when you start the engine after the oil change. Otherwise, there is a slight delay for oil to circulate through the engine while the filter fills up and the media material absorbs the new oil.
