Your technique of using the plastic water bottle to catch the oil from the old oil filter is brilliant. Nice work. Thank you so much.
Thanks!
I finally put a Fumoto F-133 drain on my '08 4Runner. I've had an F-103 sitting in my garage for a few years, but never got around to installing it. Saw the updated version (F-133) and figured it was time. Another excellent example of Japanese engineering and manufacturing. I change my oil fairly often; this is going to make an easy job even easier.
Thanks man, the fumoto is amazing!
Spot-on. I really appreciate your attention to detail. The trick with the reset on the maintenance was awesome. You rock, thank you

I have a 2004 sr5 4wd, 123k miles. I’ve always used Castrol edge/Castrol edge high mileage 5w30. I recently switched to supertech 10w30 synthetic high mileage. I live in a hot, year round state so I’ve found that 10w30 makes my engine sound smoother in the mornings.
I now have 131k miles. I change my oil every 3k miles, so I’ve been trying all the oil brands. I really like Royal Purple HMX. Right now I’m running Valvoline full synthetic max life 10w30. I will probably be sticking with Valvoline from now on. Easy to find and packed full of detergents and additives.
I’m doing the change myself. I picked up a motomaster mph3614 oil filter fir the job. It was recommended by the seller. Hopefully it’s sufficient.
lol oh snaps. I just bought a '07 4runner and ran into your oil change video. Turns out you are the same guy that built the bbk monkey.
Wow more video brother 👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍
Be very careful about which oil filter because they have internal reliefs for example which may or may not be set correctly (this from a Toyota tech). I go with Toyota to be safe.
Tnx for the lesson!
Looks CLEAN like mine
!!💪🏽💯💯
Thanks 💯
What kind of headlights you have? Love the grills. Is it an insert or need to purchase the whole grill from Satochi? Got those logo on my 3rd gen. Also got a 4th gen same model you have. I’ll be subscribing. Thanks for the OCD tips. Me too! Neatness is a must.
The lights are from eBay, just a full replacement, and were a bit under $200. Just search "4 runner headlights black". I followed instructions similar to these for the Satoshi grille: www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/223559-12-steps-deep-satoshi-grill.html
Great video
Nice video! What bull-bar do you have on there and did it come with the light bar? Do you like the light bar? I'm looking to add some fog lighting to my rig and I like the bull-bar with the lightbar combo on yours. I think I'd want yellow fogs, but either way it's nice.
Tyger - and it's held up pretty well over the last couple of years
Is it necessary to replace the crush washer, or can the old one be used? I don’t have one. Also I’ve called around looking for one but nobody I spoke with has heard of a “crush washer”
Every auto parts store and every dealer will carry them. I buy them in bulk at Amazon: a.co/d/1eMGmo4
Looks like this video is a couple years old but if you haven't figured out our already, when starting the vehicle, you don't have to hold the key until it catches. You just turn the key over real quick and let go.
Thanks, yeh I've had this car for about 14 years and I still end up holding it out of force of habit :)
What kind of lift did you put on and what size tires? I have silver ‘07 and I love the way yours looks! Are the tire bfg all terrains?
It's the Daystar leveling kit (2.5" front and 1.5" rear); very easy to install and gave it the stance i was looking for. And yes, BFG All Terrain T/A on 2018 17" 4Runner rims.
I got the same rims on my 4th gen. What size tires do you have on here & are you running spacers ?
265/70/17 - no spacers on the wheels.
Are those the eBay black headlights?
Where can i get this crush washer for my 4runner oil drain plug?
Any auto parts store will have them.
@@eastcoastish Thank you.
How do you know how many miles you can get between oil changes?
Honestly, you could probably run 15,000 miles with good oil and be ok. I'd recommend changing every 7,500 miles or sooner. I've just got in the habit of doing it every time the notification light comes on.
eastcoastish thanks man, just changed my oil myself for the first time with your video! So easy to follow I can't believe I hadn't done this sooner! 🙌
@@eastcoastish i
Where did you find that Toyota grill mod?
I built it. Look up “Satoshi grille" and there's lots of folks building them. The Toyota badge on mine is from an '86 land cruiser.
What crush washer did you use? Where did you get it? Thanks!
I think I have my current bunch from the dealership but any autoparts store will carry them.
How would I go about opening a rear hatch on this model that’s been ceased shut? If someone could give me some tips I’d really appreciate it. Tnx
I really have no idea. I’d start with some liquid wrench or similar lubricant at the points you think it’s seized at…
@@eastcoastish thanx for the suggestion. It’s the latch inside of the door that’s seized
Do you have to remove the skid plate?
Nope.
@@eastcoastish Thanks, the reason for asking is I recently took my 4runner in for a coupon oil change, almost as cheap as doing it myself, and I watched the technician remove the skid plate. They were looking for more things to repair.
You should always start the engine for a minute or two, that gets all of the particles in suspension.
Great point!
Fram filters are generally known to be garbage.
If you are changing your oil regularly enough, I don't think it makes a significant difference. For what it's worth, this old 4Runner has over 150k miles worth of Fram filters (changed every ~5k) and is still running great.
I'm at 240,000 on my 99 lincoln navigator I always used Fram oil filter. I don't preach Fram but that's what I always used out of habbit.
@@eastcoastishthat Fram Tough Guard filter is their mid-tier offering. I’ve been using them for years and never had a problem with them. They’re rated for 15K miles, but really I wouldn’t go that far with it. Personal preference but 5K - 7K miles is more my oci. (I do a lot of hwy driving). Came across your video because a friend of mine just bought this generation 4-Runner, and I wanted to see what was involved with the oil change. Kudos! 😃👍🏼
