Oh thank god lol, i was gonna say your shit gonna be burning oil like a motherfucker. Hats off to changing that shit regularly, i aim for 3k-5k, leave the oil Filter for every other change
Changing your oil every 2k miles seems like a waste of money. Maybe if I wanted to do it more often, I'd do it at 3.5k miles instead of every 2k. That's a lot of money spent on just oil...
not bad for the first time doing a oil change. only thing i would sugest is after it runs for a few minutes ...leave it for a hour to top it off on level ground
I noticed that you used your floor jack in the front of the vehicle before placing the jack stands, was there a reason for that? Does it make it so your tires land evenly when you are finished, removed the jack stands, and then lower the car back down? I've seen so many vods of people just using the floor jack on the side, lift, place stand, move to other side, and repeat. Also, how did you know where to center the floor jack in the front of the vehicle?
As a mechanic I will NEVER go 20k miles without an oil change I do my oil 3-5k miles not bc the oil can no longer protect the motor but bc sludge will 100% build up if you wait 20k miles between oil changes and instead of getting 150-200k miles out of my motors life I’d rather spend an extra $35 on Mobil 1 Ext Perf 20k mile synthetic oil an change it every 3-5k miles to clean any previous sludge from previous owners out an to prevent it
Yes! Well idk what that is in miles but this car is recommended by the dealer to change the oil at 7500 which I think is way too late. I do it every 5k. This is just MY first time doing it myself. I had serviced at the dealer three times already 😁.
How come you added a washer to the plug? I didn't see you have to remove a "old washer" when you removed the plug, did you? Sorry for the question, i have a new GR and trying to understand the method behind this and why a washer was place on it when placing the washer back on. If i took my car to a 10 minute oil change, would they even know about this? Is the washer a necessary process and if they didn't do what you did, would it be a big mistake on their part which could compromise the integrity of the oil plug?
@@uReact2 I have yet to do anything with the oil in my car, it's only a month old. So are you saying there is a washer on the oil plug? I'm just curious because if i took my car to lets say, Express Oil Change (the 10 minute oil change place), would they know it "needs" to have a washer? I know you are not a mechanic, but just trying to understand this whole washer thing, i have never dealt with one with previous, older cars.
@@Ccortanaayeah I wouldn’t take my cars to any of those quick oil change spots. A lot of them are known to mess something up on your car. Some cars don’t take washers and use like a o-ring gasket. But these cars take a washer. They’re only like a dollar at the dealership.
@@uReact2 Also, those gasket rings look metal? I've seen a lot of good reviews on those blue rings that look almost like fabric. Is that ring you showed metal? If so, how come you chose that over the blue rings?
This is my first time doing the oil change on this car. The car has been serviced at the dealer three times already. So I have not neglected it lol.

Loved how you gave details! Oil change doesn’t seem that hard to do. Keep posting more diff videos !☺️
I do mine every 2000 miles

Aren’t you supposed to do an oil change every 5000-10000km

@@uReact2 5k if you drive it on the highway to get 5k miles in a year. Every 6 months if you drive in city or town.

Every time I took it to the dealer they put a new washer and I’ve always put new ones after any oil change on any car.

@Ccortanaa yeah most Toyotas use that metal washer with a blue coating on them. Subaru is using crush washers like the one I have in this video.
