Great thanks for the detailed video. In a few days I'm getting one free from my great aunt. Thing only has 21k miles. I like to do my own oil. This is basically how I thought it would go but still nice to see it done before doing it myself.
Hi there again Toyota maintenance - just rewatching this video again as I'm about the change the oil in my 2002 Echo and its good to review the professional approach. Thumbs up buddy! Love your work.
Had another question. How tight should the oil pan bolt be when tightening it? I'm a woman and I've heard that you should tighten it till the wrench doesn't move, then tighten another eighth of a turn. I do not want to strip the threads, but, I worry about the bolt loosening. Also, is one oil pan bolt washer better than another? My dad taught me how to change the oil and he drilled it into me to always put oil on the new filter gasket before putting it on. And checking to make sure that no existing filter gasket is stuck on before putting on the new filter. Love you dad.
I have done this car before the thing I do before I lossen the oil drain bolt I draw a little line on the bolt and the pan with whiteout. And then when i'm finished draining the oil I tighten it when the lines lined up the white line with the bolt and pan and you should be good.
You don’t have to do sump drain bolts up very tight at all. Just a little beyond firm. Not too tight. You can re-use the original washer for the life of the car if you’re not over tightening the sump bolt.
I have a 2002 Echo and it loses a lot of oil. After about a 1000 miles you will see oil all over the hood and passenger side on the firewall. What coule it be? Valve cover gasket?
Excellent video. I just got a 2000 Echo and was debating whether to change the oil myself or have it done for me. I've changed oil before ( on another car) , but it's been a while. Your video certainly gives me confidence. Do you turn the bolt on the oil pan counter-clockwise to remove it and clockwise to put it back on? Also, what is the size of washer on the bolt?
Manual calls for 3.8 quarts, not 4. 10W30 if you’re in a very cold climate. 5W30 is for all temps, & preferred. You’re the only person I’ve ever seen measure the oil while you’re pouring. In my knowledge, & opinion that doesn’t give an accurate reading. You’re not giving time for everything to run down into the oil pan. You didn’t clean the stick either.

2:30 Great tip to lower the passenger side slightly to get more oil drained from the pan. I'll have to do that the next time.
Thank you for the video it was very helpful just changed the oil on my 2001 Toyota Echo

Do you have a video regarding things you should look for before purchasing a used vehicle? I’m sure a lot of people would find it helpful.

it appeared that the new oil filter was "pre-moistened" before he took off the plastic.
I think you should have a torque wrench and go 18 foot pounds of torque
I think the way you're doing it is perfectly fine between 1/8 and 1/4 turn.

Lefty Loosey righty tighty
It’s insanely easy to do this yourself. I’ve got a 2000 echo myself and always change the oil myself every 3000 miles. I use 10w40 in my engine.
Great demonstration! Thank you 🙏
Excellent video. Thanks!

Where are your jack stands bro? Not safe to trust just a jack
Was thinking same thing - he requires jack stands
He got trust in that one Jack
There’s actually two jacks, one on each side.
Please I have a question
How much engine temperature in Eco have I have 95 so much
Awesome presentation. Thank U sir.
Thank you.
How much to measure and wind the original engine temperature in echo
Very helpful informations.
thank you
Can you make a video of replacing the belts on the echo?
During a spare 45 minutes on a Sunday arve can you replace the steering rack to replace the bushes on it and refit so we can learn.
My grandma's has the same car but red
use jackstands. and put oil on the new filter gasket
they said it was pre-greased
Use wrist pounds to torque.
Mechanics do it lying on their back
