Kind of nice watching a oil change on a clean rust free car. Don't see many of those in Ohio. Good job on Vinnie's part loaning you the shop, but that's what brothers are for. I have 3 plus 5 sisters. Merry Christmas to you and family.
Yes the car was salt free at that point .I don’t use it in bad weather so I don’t drive it on salt wet roads . Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. My brother is the best , I am a lucky man , he helps me with whatever I’m doing or need . Thank you !
My '19 prius came with a spin on too! My 1st 5,000 mile chek up & they jst chekd level. I changed it the next day like u did. I'm gonna change mine every 5,000 miles or 6mos. Too many older prii have have clogged egr's & head gasket probs. Good luck with urs! I love mine!
It’s got 16k on it now , it definitely broke in the car runs noticeably stronger and my mpg went up a sold 1-2 mpg . Toyota dealer did the next oil change at 10k , the 15k service was just a tire rotation and fluid check, the oil is still so clean at 16k I’m just going to run it to 20 k and let the dealer do the included oil change.
I have exactly same filter type 90915-10003 on my 2022 Prius Prime and our dealers in Ontario Canada also don't change oil at first 8000km, so I'll have do it myself. Right now this type of filter is out of stock at Toyota, so I had to get a similar size Fram at Canadain Tire.
It is so convenient to do it on the hoist. I am thinking to do the oil change at 5k, but still trying to find where the jack point is, just can't see it because the car is so low. Good video. Thank you.
E Tran Thank you. I have a set of the low ramps they would work great for you. They aren’t that expensive either. I only used my brothers shop because I wanted to film it since no one else had done an oil change on one on TH-cam . When I changed it the oil was so clean , but I just couldn’t let the first oil change go to 10000. I’m at 8400 now and the oil is still so clean it’s hard to see on the dipstick ..going to get my free 10000 service probably in about 6 weeks or so at this rate ..btw let me know how tight your filter was, mine way too tight from the factory . I almost had to crush it to get it loose .
@@JohnDiMartino Hi John, thank you for the suggestions about using the ramps , I will go to my local auto store and check if they will go under my front bumper before I buy it. Also thanks for the warning about the oil filter's tightness :) I can see you have a useful removal tool there for it, I have a different type , sort of like a adjustable plier I hope it will work for my car. My car has only 2000 km about 1300 miles I think, as Australia is using metric system. Like you I also hate the cartridge oil filter type which my Camry hybrid has. We also have the 2003 Corolla that has a spin on filter and it makes life so easy for every oil change. I will do the oil change in April and I will let you know :) Thank you again.
Loved your routine oil change for the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid; just remove four bolts to remove the shield and drop the oil drain bolt and old filter using the oil filter wrench; easy as can be now; looks like it is highly accessible space behind the shield; I would love to also install a bypass oil filter in conjunction with an oil filter cooler to not only keep the 0w-16w synthetic oil as clean as potentially as practically possible for at least 10k miles oil change interval; so that the synthetic oil stays very cool in even in the hot weather and also so that the synthetic oil stays pure and clean down to the three micron contamination particle size; their looks to be enough space behind the shield; what oil bypass filter parts would I need to buy and what kind of oil cooler should one install to be able to keep one's 0w-16w synthetic oil as clean as potentially possible for at least 10,000 miles; I would like to keep my 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid for at least 25 years and I figure keeping the synthetic oil ultra clean with 3 micron bypass oil filter and using a matching accompanying oil cooler would be the best way to do that task; from what In understand it is not that an expensive initial investment to protect one's typical Toyota Corolla Hybrid vehicle.
I understand you wanting to do the bypass filter ,In this case I really don’t think it’s necessary I did pull an oil sample At 30,000 miles and the oil was still usable.If you live north in the salt belt ,And drive less than 20,000 miles a year I would focus more on keeping the underside rust free because it’s going to rust out before it wears out. Keep all ground connections coated with fluid film or dielectric grease.If you want it to last forever I would just change the oil at 5000 to 7500 miles it’s really easy to do when it’s very cheap you can get the oil and filter for $30-35 when the oil is on sale,Just stock up on it. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video I wish you the best of luck with your car,I love seeing other owners taking control and doing their own maintenance.
Excellent job demo'in. the camera could have been stationary, (just me) and the blue crush washer is removable,(I leave it on, and take it off at my own liesure) great job.
Dealer has done last 2 oil changes , after Toyota care is over I’ll keep doing them since the last time at the dealer as just the tire rotation , they used my car to get breakfast for the guys it went in at 65mpg average I got it back w 55mpg so they were hammering it for nothing . My dash cam was in plain sight and on... dumb
I don't reuse the metal drain plug gasket on my 2020 Toyota Camry nor on past 2011 Toyota Camry . Though it's metal , when do you decide to replace it , before it starts leaking for what reason !? I'm using now a magnetic plug and had soft " gunk " on the tip , but no hard metal particles . I always use an oil flush of either Amsoil or Liqui-Moly . Would use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum as before , but only their Platimun 0W16 is available and a Amsoil filter .
I just did my 30 K service yesterday I replaced the drain plug washer the dealer did both of the 10 and 20k and you can see the washer was pretty beat up,So it’s not likely they replaced it. I’m gonna be uploading the 30 K video soon.
It seems odd that the drain plug is not at the lowest part of the pan. From what I can tell from the video, it is at the front and up a little. So, I would put the car back on the ground and lift the rear to get a complete drain of the pan. On my Gen 2 Prius, the drain plug is on the right (passenger) end of the pan. So, I put the car on the ground and raise the car on the driver's side. By doing that, I am able to drain almost a full cup more of dirty oil ! The result after refilling: Oil on the dipstick is light amber; looks just like it did pouring out. And... it will stay light amber for approx 3k miles before showing sign soot discoloration.
The regular Corolla has a lot more options . In the US you can’t get leather a sunroof or heated seats/wheel in a hybrid , but in Canada you can, also it’s 15” wheels only ..... it’s LE trim level only . I’m ok with it since it’s just my commuter car , I may add heated seats ...
@@JohnDiMartino As a Canadian, I am aware we get a few more options but I am sure they are on the way for the USA as well. Bigger wheels and wider tires decrease fuel economy and make potholes more dangerous.
We have a Camry hybrid, and a petrol only with the 2l engine. One family member also have the previous Corolla hybrid hatchback model, I don't mind to own one of the Corolla hybrid as they are excellent for fuel economy. But I decided to buy the petrol model because it's cheaper and also it doesn't use that much petrol either. I can get around 6 to 7.5l/ 100km. On the plus side it has a little bit more power if I ever need it.
Look up Openpilot Logan Legrand videos... Self driving level 2! I've got it in my 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, I really enjoy it for trips. (I only get 51 mpg, even before I installed the Openpilot. Any tips on increasing fuel economy? Mixed driving, very little city... Thanks!)
NoOneOfConsequence I have been watching the open pilot videos since I got my car, From what I’m seeing it doesn’t do anything unless you have active cruise control on .... I hate how the car drives itself on active cruise ...That’s been what has been preventing me from buying. I only have a 2.5 mile section of highway going to work , I hav toll plazas and red lights and turns at them . I only use the car to go back and forth to work pretty much so I haven’t bought yet... I’m sure the longer I wait the more revisions to the hardware there will be too . Improvements are constant ... I just checked my mileage again in my hand calculate mileage is about 58.5 now this is over the winter months it’s gonna get better in the summer. I think your road speed has a huge effect keeping it at 65 or under makes a huge difference also the most efficient speed for the car is 25 to 45 mph IMO and most of my commute is in that range . My dashboard said I was getting 67.8 miles to the gallon the last time I filled up and that is a tank average my hand calculated mileage was 61.3... so you can’t go by the dash it’s always optimistic . I keep my car in the garage in the winter that helps tremendously I don’t need to warm it up at all no defrosting it’s always 45 to 55 in my garage back right out and drive off gently. I put the driver side seat heater in ,That helped a lot in the winter now I can keep the heat off on 14 mile section of road where my engine doesn’t run at all or just for 20 seconds if I catch a red light . Of course on the way home I pay for that it’s all uphill. But having tone garage and seat heater stops the engine from running a lot to make heat and defrost .
Dave B the numbers are the only difference .... I did a bunch of research on it first because no one including the dealer had the 90915-10003. I just had my free 10k oil change done and the paperwork says - YZZF2 ...
Mine gives me 63 mpg and I love it Only crazy thing at the dealer is they say they change the oil every 10k miles I think is exaggerated That’s why I want to do the oil change myself Is 5k miles decent? Thanks for the answer in advance Great video 🇺🇸👍👏
That’s why I did this video . This car had 3800 miles when I changed it, 5k is a great time to change it . Make sure you use the 0-w16 . I found the Toyota dealer charges about the same for the oem 0-16 as the Mobil 1 cost me .... my car only has 16,250 on it due to covid I should have over 20k by now ...
@@JohnDiMartino I really appreciate you and thanks for taking the time to reply I’m doing it myself. It gives me peace of mind to chance the oil every 5k miles . Thanks again 🤝
So this change was really not necessary at all right ? I'm at 1200 and I'm considering having it done out of pocket to get the first oil out. And what was that you sprayed ?
It was not necessary at all ,the oil was super clean. If I Had it to do over I would do it at 5000 miles,or not at all.The oil was that clean. It is the cleanest oil I have ever seen on a new engine with 3800 miles .On my F150 I changed it at 1700 miles, the oil was dirtier than it was in the Corolla at 3800
I’ll try to remember to reset it at the 15k service. I didn’t reset it when I changed the oil because it is under toyotacare from dealer til 25k . I wanted the service due icon to come on at 5000miles. The dealer doesn’t change the oil until 10000 miles , there 5k service it just a tire rotation and fluid checks
Hi John, When adding 4.4 quarts oil, what's the oil line of the dipstick?The highest of the dipstick?Because last time I added about 4 quarts, the oil line of the dipstick is in the middle of it.
It put the oil level just below the top mark on the dipstick. That’s checking after sitting overnight.The dealer changed my oil at 10k and 20k with Toyota care and both times they over filled it a little . 5 quarts were on the paperwork . Toyota care is over now I’ll probably just do it myself.
John, I'm contemplating trading in my 2012 Toyota Corolla with 110,000 miles for a brand new 2020 Corolla hybrid. Do you like driving the hybrid? Does it have adequate power for merging onto crowded freeways?
Ray Emanuel It’s adequate but definitely no rocket . It is definitely stronger than my old 03 Honda Civic auto..And the Corolla lacks the nimble feel of my old Honda, but it’s way more stable . I’m kind of impressed with how well this car handles considering it only has 15 inch wheels ,The OEM Yokohama tires are excellent in the dry and rain.If this thing had 17 inch wheels it would be on rails. The car takes a set in the corner and even a few bumps won’t disrupt it it holds a line great. I like it more now than when I got it at six months ago.My biggest complaint about the engine is how noisy it is above 2500 RPM although it doesn’t run there much when it does it’s kind of noisy. The car does not struggle to maintain speed either like most small 4 bangers . And my miles per gallon are between 60 and 62 in the summer and fall and now in the winter I’m down to 54 miles per gallon it doesn’t shut off nearly as much with the heat on high.
How much room would you say in on the oil filter housing? I am going to run a WIX 57145 (vs 51394) on mine, but wondering if I could step it up to a 51348 - 74 mm OD vs 68 mm OD
I have all those filters, honestly not sure if the 348 would fit but I’m pretty sure the 145 would . I only changed the oil once so far , and I made the video , Toyota care has changed it since . Toyota care has now expired so I’ll be doing it again soon I’m still only at 23k
Gotcha. Thanks for the response and insights The specs on the 145 are exactly the same as the 394 minus the length. Would be cool to do a video on oversized filters. It always comes up on the forums.
Al Fontana I did not. It hasn’t leaked . Dealer is doing the next oil change . I’ll see if they do it . The drain plug didn’t have a washer in it and the blue looking washer on the pan didn’t easily come off and was in good shape. Torquing it down felt wierd there must be a lot of crush in it . I rechecked it the next day it was dry and tight .
Funny you said that ... I was thinking about doing a filter cleaning video ...I’ve been slacking lately . Thanks for the motivation I will put it on my to do list .
you should check the car under even the car is new, don't trust the dealer, my sister bought a yaris ,I go with her to get the new car, she saw a din on the front bumper bar, they said they fix it, after 1 week go to again ,the din gone, like new, that guy say if you don't believe come with me, he show us another new car there, that bumper have the same din. 😱😱😱
If your paying … Toyota was paying for the 5 and 10k …. So it has to be done within a certain range of 5/ 10k. The 5k is just a tire rotation and top fluids and check of everything.
Guzmanlz stan it was just brake /parts cleaner , removing the oil residue from the drain plug and filter area .If you don’t get that off dust and dirt will stick to it and build up .
I have the 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid and I'm about to do my first oil change. I have done oil changes on IC engines before but not for a hybrid. How would I start the engine to cycle the oil without driving?
In addition, I have noticed that the oil is very light and it makes reading the oil level on the dipstick very difficult in comparison to my old Highlander. Any advice on how to check the level after an oil change?
I would do the oil change after you have the engine up to temperature , use caution removing the drain plug. That’s how I do it . This gets the most contaminants out . I try to remove the drain plug within a minute or less of shutdown . I agree it’s hard to see the oil level . I check mine in the morning before I start it . That’s the easiest way to see it . On my 2020 4.2 quarts filled it . I had Toyota care and the dealer overfilled it both times they charged the oil . I don’t think they check it they just put a little extra in and call it good .
Did check for leaks sorry no filming of that part. The , oil filter is mounted on its side,all you can do is oil the gasket and put it on, you can’t pre fill it being it’s side mounted. Thank you for commenting.
Ryan Linden couldnt beleive how clean my oil was at 3800 miles . You figure it never really idles in the summer and shuts off a lot of the time most cars are running so the hours are low for the miles .
@@JohnDiMartino, Yeah. I am actually quite interested to see how my first 5k tire rotate, and 10k checkup oil change goes. So far, the car is great! I love it.
Mine came on at 4600 said maintenance soon... the oil change interval is 10,000 miles exc for severe service (towing,roof top carriers, extended slow speed operation such as Taxi) then it’s 5000 . But every 5000 it requires the floor floor mats checked,(seriously) tire rotation and multi point checks fluid checks etc,and there’s also a HV intake filter for the hybrid cooling system that needs to be serviced at 5000 if on the servere schedule and 10000 if not. I think every other service it gets the hv cooling system level checked as well.... I have Toyota care so there doing all the services til 25000. I only did the first oil change because I didn’t want to go. 10,000 miles on the new engine before changing it.
@@JohnDiMartino Thank you. I swear the hybrid specific manual doesn't mention the interval like the regular model does. I noticed they seemingly skipped the oil change every other visit.
@@kyle-qw5yx No problem, they really don’t tell you much about the peculiarities of a hybrid, I recently learned about the hv battery not charging in N , they should tell you that when you buy the car. I use N going thru the car wash and occasionally I would get a message to put it in park to “protect “ the traction battery. Very poor wording and putting in park isn’t an option once you commit to going thru the wash .
I had half a quart left in the bottle of a 5 quart jug and the oil was at the top mark cold after sitting overnight. So it takes about 4 1/2. I couldn’t tell you what a non-hybrid takes.
bertrand Bertrand Hybrid , so it’s electric in traffic and under 45 mph it’s electric under light throttle, as soon as you need more than the 30 hp the electric motor makes, the gas engine starts and away you go.
You know Toyota 0-16 is Mobil 1 right . Also Toyota doesn’t sell the oil at the dealership, I tried twice to buy it , they only sell it out of their bulk tank when you have them change your oil.. Amazon showed it but it was 60.00 for 6 quarts and the mobil 1 was 25.00 and is the proper oil for that engine .
I know it stinks! So hard to get quality made parts from anywhere other than China anymore... You buy OEM and still get made in China ....😕Thank you for commenting
It's not like it will break or warp or leak, so you can take a chance on a simple oil filter, especially if you change your oil on schedule you will notice if something is wrong. If they made them here it would cost at least twice as much. So again, it's just an oil filter man.
Do not Do this to a new Toyota (Bad move), the oil in the car from the factory has special additives. You shouldn't change it until the 10,000 mile interval as dealer and manufacturer says. The special additives help with the engine break in period. These cars are bullet proof as long as you follow the maintenance schedule listed by the manufacturer who created the car.
It had 3800 miles on it , I spoke to my dealer about it, your information contradicts there’s . According to the Toyota dealer , there’s nothing special in the factory fill , They said they would change it at the 5000 service if I wanted . My car doesn’t use a drop of oil and I’m getting 61 to 66 miles to the gallon the worst thing I’ve ever done to my car is take my car to the dealer service dept . Once I do this last oil change at 20,000 miles in the next few weeks that’ll be the last time my car sees a Toyota dealership unless it’s a warranty issue.
My oil analysis came back absolutely perfect in part because I did this ….There’s nothing special about the oil , changing it early removes the high levels of wear metals from the initial engine break in when the parts are wearing in together . Waiting 10k miles ona new engine is just dumb unless you do not care about the long term service life . Btw this video more than paid for the oil change and I helped a lot of ppl with it who weren’t sure how to do it or what filter to get. 👍

NoOneOfConsequence I have been watching the open pilot videos since I got my car, From what I’m seeing it doesn’t do anything unless you have active cruise control on .... I hate how the car drives itself on active cruise ...That’s been what has been preventing me from buying. I only have a 2.5 mile section of highway going to work , I hav toll plazas and red lights and turns at them . I only use the car to go back and forth to work pretty much so I haven’t bought yet... I’m sure the longer I wait the more revisions to the hardware there will be too . Improvements are constant ... I just checked my mileage again in my hand calculate mileage is about 58.5 now this is over the winter months it’s gonna get better in the summer. I think your road speed has a huge effect keeping it at 65 or under makes a huge difference also the most efficient speed for the car is 25 to 45 mph IMO and most of my commute is in that range . My dashboard said I was getting 67.8 miles to the gallon the last time I filled up and that is a tank average my hand calculated mileage was 61.3... so you can’t go by the dash it’s always optimistic . I keep my car in the garage in the winter that helps tremendously I don’t need to warm it up at all no defrosting it’s always 45 to 55 in my garage back right out and drive off gently. I put the driver side seat heater in ,That helped a lot in the winter now I can keep the heat off on 14 mile section of road where my engine doesn’t run at all or just for 20 seconds if I catch a red light . Of course on the way home I pay for that it’s all uphill. But having tone garage and seat heater stops the engine from running a lot to make heat and defrost .
Thanks for this video. Is the filter 90915-YZZF2? The old one says 90915-10003. What's the difference between the filters?
Dave B the numbers are the only difference .... I did a bunch of research on it first because no one including the dealer had the 90915-10003. I just had my free 10k oil change done and the paperwork says - YZZF2 ...
Mine gives me 63 mpg and I love it
Only crazy thing at the dealer is they say they change the oil every 10k miles
I think is exaggerated
That’s why I want to do the oil change myself
Is 5k miles decent?
Thanks for the answer in advance
Great video 🇺🇸👍👏
That’s why I did this video . This car had 3800 miles when I changed it, 5k is a great time to change it . Make sure you use the 0-w16 . I found the Toyota dealer charges about the same for the oem 0-16 as the Mobil 1 cost me .... my car only has 16,250 on it due to covid I should have over 20k by now ...
@@JohnDiMartino I really appreciate you and thanks for taking the time to reply
I’m doing it myself. It gives me peace of mind to chance the oil every 5k miles .
Thanks again 🤝
Yes every 5K , remember they only care if your car makes it till it's out of warranty.
Thanks, but it would have been nice if you started with showing that the panel that covers the oil drain plug needs to be removed first.
So this change was really not necessary at all right ? I'm at 1200 and I'm considering having it done out of pocket to get the first oil out. And what was that you sprayed ?
It was not necessary at all ,the oil was super clean. If I Had it to do over I would do it at 5000 miles,or not at all.The oil was that clean. It is the cleanest oil I have ever seen on a new engine with 3800 miles .On my F150 I changed it at 1700 miles, the oil was dirtier than it was in the Corolla at 3800
is the drain plugg torqued to certain
Can you do a video on how to reset the oil check
I’ll try to remember to reset it at the 15k service. I didn’t reset it when I changed the oil because it is under toyotacare from dealer til 25k . I wanted the service due icon to come on at 5000miles. The dealer doesn’t change the oil until 10000 miles , there 5k service it just a tire rotation and fluid checks
Hi John,
When adding 4.4 quarts oil, what's the oil line of the dipstick?The highest of the dipstick?Because last time I added about 4 quarts, the oil line of the dipstick is in the middle of it.
It put the oil level just below the top mark on the dipstick. That’s checking after sitting overnight.The dealer changed my oil at 10k and 20k with Toyota care and both times they over filled it a little . 5 quarts were on the paperwork . Toyota care is over now I’ll probably just do it myself.
@@JohnDiMartino Appreciate your explaination! You rock!
0W-16 in Canada is 75CAD right now. I'm going with 0W-20.
Idemitsu Full Synthetic 0W-16 Engine Oil SP/GF-6B - 5 Quart on Amazon for 31.25 US . Don’t use 0w20 in the winter
John, I'm contemplating trading in my 2012 Toyota Corolla with 110,000 miles for a brand new 2020 Corolla hybrid. Do you like driving the hybrid? Does it have adequate power for merging onto crowded freeways?
Ray Emanuel It’s adequate but definitely no rocket . It is definitely stronger than my old 03 Honda Civic auto..And the Corolla lacks the nimble feel of my old Honda, but it’s way more stable . I’m kind of impressed with how well this car handles considering it only has 15 inch wheels ,The OEM Yokohama tires are excellent in the dry and rain.If this thing had 17 inch wheels it would be on rails. The car takes a set in the corner and even a few bumps won’t disrupt it it holds a line great. I like it more now than when I got it at six months ago.My biggest complaint about the engine is how noisy it is above 2500 RPM although it doesn’t run there much when it does it’s kind of noisy. The car does not struggle to maintain speed either like most small 4 bangers . And my miles per gallon are between 60 and 62 in the summer and fall and now in the winter I’m down to 54 miles per gallon it doesn’t shut off nearly as much with the heat on high.
@@JohnDiMartino thank you.
That blue-faced washer of the drain bolt (4:25), should that be changed, say - by the 3rd oil change ?
Yes , dealer changed oil at 10 and 20k , I did it at 30k (see my other video) and I replaced it , part number is in that video .
How much room would you say in on the oil filter housing?
I am going to run a WIX 57145 (vs 51394) on mine, but wondering if I could step it up to a 51348 - 74 mm OD vs 68 mm OD
I have all those filters, honestly not sure if the 348 would fit but I’m pretty sure the 145 would . I only changed the oil once so far , and I made the video , Toyota care has changed it since . Toyota care has now expired so I’ll be doing it again soon I’m still only at 23k
Gotcha. Thanks for the response and insights
The specs on the 145 are exactly the same as the 394 minus the length. Would be cool to do a video on oversized filters. It always comes up on the forums.
I wish you would have shown the plate on the bottom being removed thats all I'm trying to find , don't wanna take em all off
did you have to install a new washer on the oil drain plug?
Al Fontana I did not. It hasn’t leaked . Dealer is doing the next oil change . I’ll see if they do it . The drain plug didn’t have a washer in it and the blue looking washer on the pan didn’t easily come off and was in good shape. Torquing it down felt wierd there must be a lot of crush in it . I rechecked it the next day it was dry and tight .
@@JohnDiMartino yes, Toyota washer is aluminum and reusable 10x without issues
Any chance of you doing a video on cleaning the battery air filters?
Funny you said that ... I was thinking about doing a filter cleaning video ...I’ve been slacking lately . Thanks for the motivation I will put it on my to do list .
@@JohnDiMartino my guy!
I was wondering why you were doing it yourself instead of Toyota but that makes sense
this just a oil charge,no book stamp, any mistake no warranty
you should check the car under even the car is new, don't trust the dealer, my sister bought a yaris ,I go with her to get the new car, she saw a din on the front bumper bar, they said they fix it, after 1 week go to again ,the din gone, like new, that guy say if you don't believe come with me, he show us another new car there, that bumper have the same din. 😱😱😱
that's odd your dealer wouldn't change it early, I know at my dealership ill do 10k mile services at like 2k miles
If your paying … Toyota was paying for the 5 and 10k …. So it has to be done within a certain range of 5/ 10k. The 5k is just a tire rotation and top fluids and check of everything.
What was the brake fluid spray at the end of oil change plug and filter?
Guzmanlz stan it was just brake /parts cleaner , removing the oil residue from the drain plug and filter area .If you don’t get that off dust and dirt will stick to it and build up .
I have the 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid and I'm about to do my first oil change. I have done oil changes on IC engines before but not for a hybrid. How would I start the engine to cycle the oil without driving?
In addition, I have noticed that the oil is very light and it makes reading the oil level on the dipstick very difficult in comparison to my old Highlander. Any advice on how to check the level after an oil change?
I would do the oil change after you have the engine up to temperature , use caution removing the drain plug. That’s how I do it . This gets the most contaminants out . I try to remove the drain plug within a minute or less of shutdown . I agree it’s hard to see the oil level . I check mine in the morning before I start it . That’s the easiest way to see it . On my 2020 4.2 quarts filled it . I had Toyota care and the dealer overfilled it both times they charged the oil . I don’t think they check it they just put a little extra in and call it good .
Just put ur foot on the gas pedal. It turns the gas engine on
Should you check for oil leaks and put oil in new oil filter?
Did check for leaks sorry no filming of that part. The , oil filter is mounted on its side,all you can do is oil the gasket and put it on, you can’t pre fill it being it’s side mounted. Thank you for commenting.
I'm getting really close. just undr 4,000 miles riight now. I love the car. Supposed to go 10,000 miles from what the book says....
Ryan Linden couldnt beleive how clean my oil was at 3800 miles . You figure it never really idles in the summer and shuts off a lot of the time most cars are running so the hours are low for the miles .
@@JohnDiMartino, Yeah. I am actually quite interested to see how my first 5k tire rotate, and 10k checkup oil change goes. So far, the car is great! I love it.
So toyota recommends an oil change every 10k miles on hybrids?
@@Spawn223311 not just on the hybrids. All models, gas and hybrid.
what's the oil change interval? 10k, or 5k? My maintenance light comes on every 5.
Mine came on at 4600 said maintenance soon... the oil change interval is 10,000 miles exc for severe service (towing,roof top carriers, extended slow speed operation such as Taxi) then it’s 5000 . But every 5000 it requires the floor floor mats checked,(seriously) tire rotation and multi point checks fluid checks etc,and there’s also a HV intake filter for the hybrid cooling system that needs to be serviced at 5000 if on the servere schedule and 10000 if not. I think every other service it gets the hv cooling system level checked as well.... I have Toyota care so there doing all the services til 25000. I only did the first oil change because I didn’t want to go. 10,000 miles on the new engine before changing it.
@@JohnDiMartino Thank you. I swear the hybrid specific manual doesn't mention the interval like the regular model does. I noticed they seemingly skipped the oil change every other visit.
@@kyle-qw5yx No problem, they really don’t tell you much about the peculiarities of a hybrid, I recently learned about the hv battery not charging in N , they should tell you that when you buy the car. I use N going thru the car wash and occasionally I would get a message to put it in park to “protect “ the traction battery. Very poor wording and putting in park isn’t an option once you commit to going thru the wash .
Shaping for hybrid
Kinda bothers me the crush washer wasn’t changed :)
Yea dealer never changed it either . I changed it on the 30k service. It never leaked …
hi where is the air filter on this engine...thanks in advance.
It’s down in front of the engine between the radiator and engine .
@@JohnDiMartino thanks John so its an easy change?
Do you know how to remove the covers from the rims?
Yea just put a large tire spoon between the rim and cover and twist . They come right off
@@JohnDiMartino thanks
LOL
How much oil did you put in the car?
arman nemati 4.4 quarts
How many quarts of oil did you use?
It takes 4 and a half quarts .
Can somebody share a place can I can use and pay 10 bucks to this kind shop. I am in Yorba Linda, CA
Благодаря :)
Unless there is a difference, the 2020 Corolla needs 4.9 quarts not 4.4.
I had half a quart left in the bottle of a 5 quart jug and the oil was at the top mark cold after sitting overnight. So it takes about 4 1/2. I couldn’t tell you what a non-hybrid takes.
@@JohnDiMartino Gotcha, I have a non hybrid Corolla that uses 4.9. Didn’t realize that the hybrid used less oil.
Electric?
bertrand Bertrand Hybrid , so it’s electric in traffic and under 45 mph it’s electric under light throttle, as soon as you need more than the 30 hp the electric motor makes, the gas engine starts and away you go.
1.8? -2.0? Engine
1.8L that’s all that’s available in the States in the Corolla Hybrid.
Use Toyota 0_16 it's better oil!
You know Toyota 0-16 is Mobil 1 right . Also Toyota doesn’t sell the oil at the dealership, I tried twice to buy it , they only sell it out of their bulk tank when you have them change your oil.. Amazon showed it but it was 60.00 for 6 quarts and the mobil 1 was 25.00 and is the proper oil for that engine .
looks like Toyota went back to regular oil filters.
I was so happy to see that spin on filter ! I hate cartridge filters .
7:30 Man I can't cope with that Made in China S...t …. realy … Why cant they make them here??? (good Video love all hybrids and elektrik cars )
I know it stinks! So hard to get quality made parts from anywhere other than China anymore... You buy OEM and still get made in China ....😕Thank you for commenting
I think you will have to go out naked if you don't like stuffs made in China :)
It's not like it will break or warp or leak, so you can take a chance on a simple oil filter, especially if you change your oil on schedule you will notice if something is wrong. If they made them here it would cost at least twice as much. So again, it's just an oil filter man.
Do not Do this to a new Toyota (Bad move), the oil in the car from the factory has special additives. You shouldn't change it until the 10,000 mile interval as dealer and manufacturer says. The special additives help with the engine break in period. These cars are bullet proof as long as you follow the maintenance schedule listed by the manufacturer who created the car.
It had 3800 miles on it , I spoke to my dealer about it, your information contradicts there’s . According to the Toyota dealer , there’s nothing special in the factory fill , They said they would change it at the 5000 service if I wanted . My car doesn’t use a drop of oil and I’m getting 61 to 66 miles to the gallon the worst thing I’ve ever done to my car is take my car to the dealer service dept . Once I do this last oil change at 20,000 miles in the next few weeks that’ll be the last time my car sees a Toyota dealership unless it’s a warranty issue.
Make in China ..😂
DON'T DO THIS! The first oil in the engine from the factory has special break in additives its important not to change it before the first 10k.
My oil analysis came back absolutely perfect in part because I did this ….There’s nothing special about the oil , changing it early removes the high levels of wear metals from the initial engine break in when the parts are wearing in together . Waiting 10k miles ona new engine is just dumb unless you do not care about the long term service life . Btw this video more than paid for the oil change and I helped a lot of ppl with it who weren’t sure how to do it or what filter to get. 👍
Mobil 1 :))))) oil for stupids:))) use Motul
Get a clue man 0w16 was next to impossible to find 2 yrs ago when I made this . I took what I could find . Your the only one who looks stupid here .
