2014 Toyota Corolla engine oil and filter change

[@tomkoolman]

Your narrative pace and tone sounds very alike to a professor I knew during my university life. A very nice gentleman.

[@krispyn2dc]

The oil change is hands down the most important maintenance service there is on any vehicle. It should always be done this way with extra care and detail.

[@randalhill6283]

Love your videos. They've helped me keep my car going. A 2007 Toyota Corolla "S" that just rolled over 240,000 miles. Your video on changing out the timing chain tensioner saved me a lot of money. It's one of the easiest car repairs I've ever done

[@1ronhall]

Peter my friend ...... very thorough video on an obvious basic, but critically important service ..... keep up the good work and keep using the OEM parts!! Your customers are in good and professional hands!!

[@the_winter1329]

This video was a life savior, thank you!

I have a 2014 toyota sport S+ good car it is, I bought it used and it runs good. Thanks for this video it's very helpful and informative. Happy new year 🎉 and thanks again for this helpful video of yours.

[@ArsonistArborist]

Same, absolutely love my 14 Corolla S with a 6-speed. Best car I’ve ever own. And my wife’s 06 Corolla CE is pretty fantastic too

[@eddied8989]

Can you provide the part name and number of the special oil filter tool that was used . Thank You

[@SeanPopify]

Peter, I hope you offer Kirkland-branded oil too. I thought I saw the boxes in the shop on another video.

Excellent work and attention to detail my friend!!

On the crush washer: My local Toyota dealer parts department sold me what it said was "12031A" washer that was *black* rather than blue. Said it was a superseded part, but I can't find it anywhere else...

[@collinhopper7542]

Black is the new blue. Black does indeed supersede blue.

I can't find that anywhere either - I buy the blue ones by the bag off Amazon...

Kirkland 0W-20 synthetic oil on sale for $22 for two 5 quart jugs can’t beat it. That’s half the price of mobile one. And it’s an excellent oil. They are eating Mobile1’s lunch.

[@moose354]

Peter, do you think Toyota went backwards to the 1950's going from a spin-on filter to a cartridge oil filter? Baxter Performance makes a spinon filter adapter. What do you think of converting to a spin-on filter? Why did Toyota make the filter housing out of plastic instead of metal?

[@kalani1987]

I worry about proper oil pressure with that adapter. Reason why Toyota didn't use a metal housing? Plastic is cheaper of course

[@tdgdbs1]

2018 and newer Corolla reverted back to spin on filters.

[@patrickthomas6170]

I bought a Toyota branded metal oil filter housing for my 5.7 L . I cracked some fins on the plastic one

[@njsongwriter]

@@patrickthomas6170 Likely that would not happen if the lube technician followed the correct torque specifications.

[@حامدشهاوى]

Thank you so much Keep up the good work 👍

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks Peter for your helpful information.

[@dougharo9138]

Hey Peter, have you heard of an aftermarket adapter that will allow you to use the metal spin on oil filters. Just wondering what you thought. I happen to see it on Scotty Kilmer's channel the other day. Keep up the great toyota videos. Doug

[@1ronhall]

I just watched Scottys video yesterday re the adapter ..... I’m thinking if I want to use one ......

[@Malossianoplus]

No. Don't use them. Company has decided to don't put those filter for 2 reason. 1 is ecology 2 most of this spin oil filter haven't good spec for the bypass valve 3 the spin oil filter have less high flow filtration P.s. stop watching skotty. Now is more a seller than a mechanic.

[@njsongwriter]

If you want a spin on filter, newer Toyotas are referring to spin on canisters. I would stay away from conversion kits as they may reduce the oil flow rate.

[@DIYDaveOK]

Peter, the Toyota guidance for oil changes on our new 2020 Rav4 state that the oil dipstick markers are now "too little" and "excessive," and state to get in the middle of the range. I, like you, always used those as "add/full" lines. Why the change?

[@njsongwriter]

They are still add and full marks. Too little means add oil and excessive means over-full. Let's not create any confusion here. Nothing has really changed. The oil capacity listed in the owner's manual should bring you up to (but not over) the full mark which would be excessive.

[@jeffreydevoti7000]

On a oil change, take note of the level on the dipstick, it should read exactly full . On used cars I have found one or two that had the wrong dipstick, instead of trying to find correct one, after filling with correct oil quantity, just take a carbide scratch tool and deeply mark correct full level, and reference that to oil level. I know it's in short supply these days, but just use common sense. 🤔

[@xOGKuSh]

I have a 2001 Toyota Camry LE with the 5SFE, 20mi away from rolling over 274k. Burns about 3/4 qt per 5,000mi. No check engine light, everything still works.

Nice oil change video. Obviously do not keep adding paint marks to the engine cover LOL 😂

[@duffythewhitedog]

Thanks for your video ,very helpful and easy to understand

[@brokenwrist24]

More than likely its not the timing chain tensioner leaking. We've replaced the orings on them and still had a leak afterwards. That and those orings rarely fail. Instead what leaks is the timing cover because the gray sealant thats used at the factory is crap. I reseal these timing covers all the time.

[@Fahif808]

What do you reseal them with?

[@geyser3445]

Why do you think Toyota uses a plastic filter housing instead of a spin-on metal filter?

[@KrazyKramer]

Because they count on stupid people to overtightening them and breaking them when it's time to replace. Profit is why

[@geyser3445]

@@KrazyKramer That is the only reason I could come up with too. I thought Toyota was better than that.

@Paul Donnelly Jr The EPA. That's pretty laughable. But I guess it works for some people of a certain alleged mindset

Weight. EPA. 5k oil changes at the maximum. The EPA is creating more pollution with all the bad engines and transmissions.

Interesting filter design. My toyotas are all much older.

I'm impressed the oil wasn't pitch black unlike some cars i see. Dirty but still had some colour to it. What was the interval for this oil change ? There's only 1 aftermarket brand i'll use, and that's German made "Mann" filters.

[@njsongwriter]

Denso makes the OEM filter. You wouldn't use that?

[@RastaJediX]

I wonder if this gen of Corolla had the same oil burning issues that the 1998 to 2002 models suffered from?

[@DIYDaveOK]

Nope. I've got a 2013 (diff engine) but it's never burned oil.

[@kevinmiller4486]

"Used engine oil is apparently harmful..." Does that apply equally to new engine oil? You should mention that larger Toyota engines with cartridge oil filters take I slightly larger oil filter cap wrench than this 1.8 liter engine takes.

[@jamesu]

[@imtiyazbaig6439]

[@peterrudy9207]

I'm sure you can buy a new Toyota cast aluminum oil filter housing to replace the plastic one . I did on my 2011 Toyota Camry 2.5 liter , 4 cylinder engine .

[@njsongwriter]

There is nothing wrong with the plastic units as long as they are torqued correctly to 25 N•m ±5 N•m (18 ft.lbs. ±3.5 ft.lbs.). Even the Aluminum units have been known to break when over-torqued.

[@peterrudy9207]

@@njsongwriter Plastic is plastic

[@njsongwriter]

@@peterrudy9207 I agree that plastic is plastic but I've had an authorized Toyota mechanic tell me that the plastic unit will last the life of the vehicle if it's not torqued more than 18 ft.lbs. ±3.5 ft.lbs. I change my own oil so I'm counting on him being correct. I've changed it 7 times so far and it's not showing any indication of wear or deteriorating. I know plastic can get brittle with age. If it ever breaks maybe I'll switch to aluminum then... But 18 ft.lbs. ain't much. Still if the aluminum one is cast aluminum, I would stay away from it. If it's forged aluminum then I'd be more likely to switch.

[@hugogordillo9250]

Thanks, big help

[@chrisduby4564]

The oil filter should be removed first, because it takes much less time to drain all of the oil out of the filter housing, then it does to drain all of the oil out from the oil pan! I always allow at least one to two hours to drain the oil from the drain plug! This way I get much more of the old oil out then I could, if I only let it drain for say, fifteen minutes!

Yes. I don't know if you can even purchase that weight with conventional oil.

@@escottn the manual allows a few types of ratings like 10W30 and 5W40 etc. I have been using 10W30 Toyota semi synthetic and wanted to know if full synthetic is OK.

[@njsongwriter]

@@Citizen052 In the US the manual does NOT allow for those higher viscosities. It may say that 5W-20 can be used but to switch back to the recommended 0W-20 at the next oil change. Also some of the latest models call for 0W-16. Full synthetic is fine. Why wouldn't it be?

[@jeffreydevoti7000]

From what I've seen at Walmart, synthetic oil is very close in price to conventional oil, and I think will soon be all that's available. The only exception will be specific oils for motorcycle, diesel and farm tractor, lawn mower and two cycle blends.

Toyota, I don't really mind you switching from spin-on to cartridge-type oil filters. I do however *really* mind needing a special tool to complete a simple flippin oil change! Not cool. Very not cool. Needless, annoying, irritating, and clearly a brilliant idea dreamed up by a guy in a tie that would never stoop so low as to change his own oil like some common peasant. You seriously need to get up from your desk, go find that guy, hand him a set of wrenches and tell his candy ass to change his own oil. I mean you could have at least had the common decency to put the stupid required adaptor in the glovebox.
