9:11, does anyone else notice how clean the engine bay is? ITS AMAZING!
Lol it’s dirty again
@@PhoRunnerhow you get it so clean lol mines a dirty mess
I just spray it down haha
Cleanest oil change that I’ve seen!
Thanks for the tip! as I’m a big 3rd gen owner! I own 2 4runners a 97 sr5 4x4 with 142k miles and a 99 sports 4x4 with only 67k miles that one is my toy and garage kept! I’m debating between either every 3k or 5k miles love these vehicles so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I personally do 5k oil changes now or 12 mo. This one got away from me but no harm no foul. Synthetic oil makes me sleep easier when I’m lazy lol
Thanks for the tip! Taking off the rear skid plate made a huge difference. Have changed in my truck today and it was very very very clean! Thanks!
You are welcome
Sweet! I just picked up a 99 4runner and am about to do the first oil change. Going to try this oil too👍🏽
Nice! So far so good! It’s oil at the end of the day so no complaints yet
Perfect video. Just changed the oil on my 02 sport and you made the job a piece of cake. Thanks!!
No problem!
That’s good oil it’s as good as amazon basics I used it havent had a problem. I watched farm project do oil testing and it did great
Yeah I’m starting to think oil is just oil unless you have some high performance engine that needs racing oil
I think all Toyotas use the same crush washer and 14mm drain bolt. The drain bolt or pan will not strip out if you use a crush washer, one arm, a short wrench, and go easy. The plug needs to be tight or it will leak. Once the crush washer starts yielding don’t try to tighten further.
that's good to know!
First of all i like your 4runner looks very sharp, also you explained everything so clear, good video, thank you.
Thanks bud
Thanks for review I got this product for 15 bucks this is my first time put full synthetic from semi blend on my ride. I cant wait on this weekend.
Nice
Never seen that tool you used to take the oil filter off. That was very easy.. will definitely check for one on lime.
The filter socket? Walmart sells them for cheap!
Thanks that was a big help and you covered a few things the other guy did not cover. Thin latex gloves made all the difference. Also had a throw away rag and some paper towels on hand. I was a bit messier than you.
Cool!!! glad i made this video for you guys!
enviable-clean engine bay!
I clean it with purple power!! Maybe I’ll make a video one day!
Wow 2 pack 5 quart jugs for $30 ain't bad at all for that Kirkland synthetic brand👍🏽
Yeah. 24.99 actually! Very good price and I saw some reviews of the oil and it is comparable to supertech full synthetic which is also great oil!
My Costco had the 2 jug box on sale for 21.99 yesterday.
@@stevemccooleq nice! that's dirt cheap!
Thinking about 40$ at Wallyworld ( Walmart) + filter Castrol 5w 30 synthetic 265k and I love the videos ohh 2002 4runner and it is gold in paint with the Tan interior otherwise it needs a front driver's seat
@@stevemccooleq yep having a costco card would be nice so i could actually by things from costco.
the walmart brand _______________ is i think just as cheap and made by the same manufacture.
Why are people so protective of their costco credentials? this is the only question i have.
Excellent video, thank you for making it.
No prob
Are you still using the same type of oil? Looking to do my first oil change on my 98 runner,so looking to use the best quality oil to maximize engine life. thank you and god speed
I see you have a fuse-relay setup next to your battery. I am looking for options on installing something like this to safely power my lights and other accessories. Did you buy this or did you build it yourself? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks bro.
All diy! I will make a video soon to show you guys what I did!
I did mine today…much easier to remove skid plate and just reach up to oil filter than to remove clips in wheel well.
Good tip
@@PhoRunner But I hate clips…
Thank you for the video. Where did you get the part to remover the oil filter?
Walmart :) or any auto parts
Hey PhoRunner, do you remember what size is the oil filter wrench? I’m thinking it must be around 73mm but I’m not sure..
Hmmm each filter has a different size it seems. I just checked the oem filter and resize none of the ones I have fit lol. I also have an adjustable one so I guess I’ll be using that!
Im ordering a lift kit and possible body lift for my 3gen. Let me know if you want to install it and make a video out of it.
Nah... haha.. good luck my man.
If you can get them good size pieces of cardboard work best to absorb any spills and they're usually free. Can be reused too.
Yah i had none that day lol. I usually throw some shipping boxes under there
Would you use 10w-30 during the summer? I live in FL and it gets hot as hell over here
Nope. I use what it calls for. It gets pretty hot here where I’m at. 115 highs sometimes. We got a lot of triple digit days on the summer.
@Francisco, I have seen people use 10w30 for 4runners here in tampa. I have heard that's only if your mileage is high. Castrol oil is the brand I see people using
Great video
Thanks!
You should make a headlight retrofit vid next 😎
Maybe. But there’s one already! Speedy’s garage has one!
I just used the last of my Kirkland 5w-30. Costco has mobile 1 high mile oil for $32 for 6 qts.
Good stuff!
How far do you like kirkland oil? I ise Eneos oil but I would like to try kirkland. I also have a 99 4runner
So far so good. No issues yet and drives just fine
PhoRunner Channel I’ll try it. Thanks
You could also use cheap (painters) plastic drop cloth from dollar tree or 99-cent store. They're big enough to use half at a time, if you cared about the extra cost. Plastic table covers from the same stores also work. ;)
I have free tarps from harbor freight I usually use hehe. Wanted to see if I could do it drip free lol
Shower curtain liners from Dollar Tree work good
What size oil filter wrench fits the OEM filter?
I’m not sure but I’ll see if I can measure it for you
How do you keep your engine bay so clean?
Lol I don’t know. I have cleaned it a few times.
Where did you pick up those battery connectors? Best truck on the internet man. I absolutely love it.
Check my electrical video! They are called military terminals
Job well done. For those who may be interested why don't you show how to reset the maintenance reminder. Thanks
There’s no maintenance minder on these 4runners that I know of
How long is that ratchet extension?
probably 24"
What brand is your oil filter wrench?
Some generic metal one but I also have a lisle one
GOOD VIDEO ...HI I HAVE 98 4 RUNNER AND IM USING THE SAME OIL HOW LONG YOUR GONNA LEAVE THE OIL BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE? THANKS
Hmm 1 year or 7500 miles haha
That’s my plan! Full synthetic seems to last a while and if it’s not burning, just burning away money
Lol thanks. I got cases of Costco oil to go through. May be a while
@@PhoRunner I once leave once a 15w40 and other year a 25w60 in a n f150 1997 for 2 years aproximately, same filter . My ignorant self thought that since I didn't used much the car and it looked good the oi l and nlt brown It was fine. The truck is better mantained today lol, I am going to use this kirkland oil in it
@@subtegral been there done that, but not anymore unless I put some quality filter and oil like amsoil
Dude thanks for the idea 👊 since now on I going to do myself the change oil
I have a 1999 4 runner 4x4 good video
No prob! Easy job!
Are you still using this oil at every oil change? Debating if I want to start using this
Yes I am
4: hello I have some weird vibration between 60 to 70 MPh. No shakes. Just vibration what think thanks. My name is alek.
Driveshaft or tire balance
🔥🔥🔥
How’s the Kirkland working for you? I wanted to get some feedback before trying them. Been using Mobile 1. I got 330k on my rig :-)
Seems fine to me haha. I’m still using it and just did the valve covers and it looked great. No sludge or anything
@@PhoRunner That’s what I thought. Thanks for your feedback.
Ok I’m baffled.. I just replaced 5.5 qts of oil on my 3rd gen today and the deep stick is reading below the low mark measurement. The oil is obviously not leaking.. WTF is going on??
Edit: I added a bit more oil, like 1/2-3/4 qt and the mark went from being empty to fell. Weird, but ok with me..
Must have been that the the oil wasn't on the measuring tube yet..
Lol interesting
What is the torque requirement for the rear skid plate (engine cover)?
Tight lol. No clue hehe
@@PhoRunner very good. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Are you still using Costco’s Kirland oil? I’m about to make the switch on my 01 SR5 that has 312K on the clock. I’ve got the 5VZ as well
Yes sir. About to change my oil and use Kirkland again hehe
@@PhoRunner How have the long term results been like? Have you done any oil analyses with Blackstone Laboratories?
I haven’t done any but perhaps I will do it for the channel! I will test it out and see. I doubt anything will be wrong since I’ve seen the cheapest of the cheap ran in these things lol
@@PhoRunner You totally should! They’re like $28 and they give you a great narrative on the condition of your oil sample and how your engine performs overall. You have another sub, sir. Thanks for the responses 🤙🏼
You forgot to add scrony arm. When you state the tools you need to say state scrony arms. Fortunately I got a set available in my sleaves.
Lol
Wow, that same box of 2 jugs there now is $67
Your vehicle looks like brand new nice
It’s got scratches haha. Those 2 jugs are stil 24.99 at costco
@@PhoRunner I bought a box (10 quarts) of the Kirkland 5w-30 today at Costco in Eugene and it now costs $38.99
Yikes!
3rd gen. w/over 300k, sum oil seapage from "all" gaskets but; 10k mile oci's, no oil burning & running strong, make sure to clean that pcv w/some carb cleaner until you hear the rattle👌 "no rattle = replace"
Nice! Just did my valve covers and changed out the pcv :)
@@PhoRunner Perfecto!👍
if your engine burn oil try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil next time.
No burning for me :)
with skid plate off , may as well grease the front universal joint
Can i put this oil in a high proformence engine? Lexus is 350?
Don’t see why not. Oil is oil at the end of the day.
As long as it's the recommended viscosity.
Where ya git the rear skidplate?
It’s factory skid plate
@@PhoRunner cool going tomorrow
@@PhoRunner before I look stupid is they a middle pan? These guys are that come with the rear skidplate
Skid plate for oil pan. The rear one is the gas tank
I've always heard synthetic oil is bad for these engines because of its age.... how long you been using this?
Since I owned it 4+ years.
Is this hydrocracking oil's ?
I’m not sure what hydrocracking is
Yes, Grp 3
Thanks 👋
Place cardboard on the floor under the work area. Never get oil on your floor. If I don’t have cardboard I pick a box from other people’s trash just before I’m ready to change my oil. Break it down slide it under the truck.
Good tip. My floors clean up easy though since I put that epoxy on it.
Yup. Cardboard soaks up any spilled oils.
Haha I keep cardboard on my garage floor 24/7 and I still seem to get oil on the floor
Why not Eneos Fell the different body
not sure what that is.
@@PhoRunner engine oil MADE IN JAPAN
I do my oil changes on a cold engine. No need to get potentially burned by hot oil/exhaust pipe. Also, full synthetic flows plenty fast when cold, and the oil filter also breaks loose more easily on a cold engine.
I like a semi warm engine. It warms me up when it's freezing in the garage lol
I've heard synthetic is actually bad for 3rd gen 4 runners... I see a lot of people use Castrol oil. I'm confused by this 😓
I been using it for a while and no issues
@@PhoRunner is Castrol oil good oil?
Yeah you’ll be fine with any major brand out there. I even use supertech if I had to. Toyota doesn’t complain lol
Technically Kirkland oil is mostly Group 3 and not 100% Synthetic so it should be good for the 4R.
If my 4Runner ever saw this video, she would hate me.
lol
The price of the oils gone up. I think I paid like $32 two weeks ago
Yikes! Glad I got some extra jugs laying around!
It's still a better price than super tech from Wal-Mart. From what the internet says, most of these oils are the exact same thing
This is true
It’s same warren product, Costco got cheaper with different lable
Yup
15 months ..Why not wait to 2 years to make them even..oil change every 2 years and Kirkland oil any special??? for 2 years? make me think?? I change my oil every year on my birthday....????
Weather was nice lol. Too hot in summer
Please dont use the old oil to lube the gasket. Old oil has all sorts of contaminants it it. You're changing it for a reason. Just use the new oil and have peice of mind.
Oopsies. I’m sure it’ll be fine
If you bought that filter on eBay/Amazon it’s likely fake. There’s a half billion dollar industry selling little fake car parts like that. So if I were you I’d buy a filter at the auto parts store or Walmart. I wouldn’t trust fake crap on my engine.
@@subtegral I'm just trying to warn him. I'd rather have either of the genuine filters you listed over a fake off eBay.
I got mine from mcgeorge Toyota. Amazon is full of fakes these days but if you order from Toyota directly or amazon directly, should be good bet it’ll be authentic.
