Engineers don't fix the vehicles. I'll listen to what actual mechanics say about maintenance, because they actually see what happens to the components with daily use. Most of them recommend a 1k break-in oil change like what she did here. Then after that if you use full synthetic changing every 5k.
@@silvermonk13 I'm a mechanic. Engineers design and test all of these systems. They usually design to a standard of driving and maintenance that is not always reflective of the end-user. Mechanics love to work on cars and drive cars if they have time. Most mechanics will have no way of knowing or have the ability to reliably track how a 1,000 mile break-in oil change will impact a vehicle 5-10 years or 100,000 mile later- at scale. What mechanics do have a great deal of insight on, is how that engineering fairs long-term and how easy it is to work on. Generally speaking, vehicles with regular maintenance last longer and avoid costly repairs bills down the road. But lets not romanticize mechanics or engineers- they have different (yet related) roles. You can design and maintain the best vehicle on the planet- but if it was manufactured poorly, or a parts supplier decided to change alloys in a metal part, or change the polymer compound in a bushing- none of that engineering or maintenance is going to mean anything. Everything about a vehicle is complex. Don't try to oversimplify complex things.
@@shr00m7 you also shouldn't make things more complex than they actually are. Human beings like to make things more complex because they think it's supposed to be. If you take a basic coding class, it will teach you this.
Good job Chloe. Oil changes at 10,000 miles is always a bad idea. The car manufacturers are in business to sell vehicles and if you do a good job at maintaining your vehicle, they can't sell you a new one for a very long time. An initial oil change at 1,000 miles is a great idea. Then you need to keep it up. Replace it at least every 5000 miles. Do this and you will have a very long life engine. By the way Chloe, you should invest in an electric ratchet. It'll make you life so much easier.
Unfortunately for new cars, folks who don’t know how to change their oil rely on the warranty for the service. But, the dealer stipulated that the car must tell them first via maintenance code or notice in order to get that free oil change. That code will only appears when the driver hits their first 9 or 10,000 miles sadly
I did 1k miles and 5k mile intervals on my Camry. Leaving the factory oil in for 10k miles sounds like an awesome way to toast your brand new engine early.
@@njad3 I don't know what you're trying to say. I brought my car to the dealer and paid for 1k and 5k oil changes just fine. Did you think dealers stopped liking money?
I change my oil at 100 miles on my 24' 4Runner. Same for my 23' 4R and 22' Frontier. Cutting open the oil filters reveals close to 1/4 oz of aluminum bits, oil is sparkly under the sun. Better change early than late.
@@ellietheterrier1150 100 miles factory oil is enough for a new engine. My actual procedure is to break-in the remaining 1900 miles with fresh oil without sparkly bits, with 2nd oil change at 1000, then at every 4000. My minimum break-in routine is 2000 miles, depending how the engine feels it can be up to 3500 miles. My last batch of vehicles were late 1990, 2000's and still purr like kittens with I sold them.
I have been changing oil on my trucks, cars, tractors, and boats for about 35 years now. I starting putting in Fumoto drain valves in my vehicles (except the boat) a few years back. Never had any problems with them and it's easy to attach a hose to drain the oil exactly where I want. You should check them out.
I remember oil changes use to be 3k miles. When I got a Chevy they told me 7k oil changes because it was synthetic. engine broke at 100k miles. On my new Toyota I’ll be doing it every 4-5k
You can always use a measuring cup and pour out 3.2 oz of oil from your 5qt box. Then you know you have 4.9 to dump the rest into the truck. That’s how I measure out the 0.6 qts on my 6.6 qt oil change 😊
I have a 2016 4Runner trd pro that I bought brand new back in 2016, I have been changing the oil every 10k miles since new, have had no issues 125k miles later
I changed the oil on my '23 Tacoma at 1,000 miles. I sent the filter to the Whip City Wrencher channel to have the filter dissected and it was interesting to see what was going on in there.
Good video post by the way and congrats on your new 24 Taco.. When i got my 22 Taco fresh of the lot back in 2022, I did a every 500 miles 3X interval of oil and filter change until 1500 miles which was the last one. Then at 4k, change oil and filter again until 5K. From 5k did the last oil and filter change break in, then after that, went to normal oil and filter change at every 5K.... For the newer Turbos , I'd probably do and every 4K oil and filter change. just my 2 cents...
The Hawaii EFI tank additive stipulation is because they are allowed lesser additives when it comes to fuels in Hawaii. It's in case you don't get top tier fuel with the standard additive package over there.
On your oil jug, try tipping it w/ the spout on top rather than at the bottom. Seems counter intuitive, but if it's not vented, it helps it pour more smoothly.
When I took my 23 TRD off road to service at 5000 miles, I thought they doing the oil change, but they didn’t and they didn’t tell me ! Until I took it in for a 10k mile service, I realized that they just change the oil at 10k miles ! I wasn’t happy ! 😡😡😡😡😡
First oil change at 800-1000 miles is the way to go. 10k mi oil change intervals is just ridiculous. That's designed to increase Toyota dealer repair revenue
The YZZ filters are what is called a locally sourced supplier. That's why the YZZ filters are 30% less expensive that the OEM. MSRP for that YZZN1 oil filter is $5.97.
It does for Toyota. They can market it as a low cost of ownership. Then when the engine starts burning oil at 50,000 miles they tell you to buy a new car.
1k after break in oil change probably is definitely early for an oil change on modern motors, but makes sense for a turbo motor. Good to see Toyota finally ditched the paper filters, but 10k oil change intervals in the manual is complete nonsense by Toyota. 5k should be the max for a turbo motor. Better is 3k to prevent oil from clogging up the turbo and as a preventative from fuel dillition of the oil.
Not a Tacoma owner but have a 3rd gen Canyon and a 2nd gen Canyon as well. I have always changed oil every 5k but when I asked Service Advisor about a 1k break in change he advised me against this. Anyway, I have no strong opinions on this but curious if there are anyone knows about factory additives in initial oil which comes with trucks of any kind? That was reason SA said it wasn't needed. If any experiences, pls share. Thanks! And yes, great content from Chloe, great information in your videos!
Hey Chloe your old motivx oil filter socket will work great on the 24 Tacoma oil filter 90915-YZZN1. I had a 23 Tacoma and now have a 24 sport and used it a few weeks ago for my break in oil change
Might get a bad truck off the assembly line absolutely. Change the oil after 1000 miles if not 500 to look to see if there is any metal fragments actually as might have a blown engine. Dealership at Toyota should require this given the recall situation so will be watching this closely. Also depending on the oil type might be able to smell to see if there is something wrong or even taste although this won't work with synthetic but yes testing for an actually breakdown in the viscosity checking for any burning type taste to see again...any metal in there? They might run every vehicle off the line now probably do on a set of rollers which makes sure all fluids properly distributed through the system and shows good compression before leaving for Dealership...where also Dealer prep is done to check all this before taking off the truck and receiving as payment. Tire alignment important. Look for any leaks. Best if done by your Dealership actually as they are the one responsible for any recall as they took delivery😊
I purchased a Motivix oil filter cannister wrench for our RAV4. I used a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel and cut off the slotted section of the original cast aluminum oil filter wrench that I purchased from the Toyota dealer. I "donated" the modified wrench to our church's "auto-ministry" , so we won't run the risk of damaging one of our "client's" plastic Toyota oil filter housings!
My 2019 4cyl - gen 3 came with a YZZD3, even though the spec says YZZD1. I've stayed with the "3" version since it's slightly longer, with additional capacity. About 4" versus 3.4" in length.
I commend you for your using a torque wrench on the oil plug. No one does that. Not even the oil change places or the dealers. Sometimes I will have my oil changed at the dealer or oil change place and sometimes they over torque them to where I have to jar them loose by banging on the ratchet with a hammer. What I do is hang tighten until contact and then just "snug" it. That's what 99% do. You are "special" in a good way.
This doesn’t sound right. Dealerships obviously have torque wrenches with a digital display on the wrench itself to tell you how high the torque is. They set the wrench to specifications. Maybe your dealership in the Ozarks doesn’t torque right but here in Southern California we live in modern times
Every time I have my RAV4 serviced at a Toyota dealer as it is still under warranty, they overfill the oil. Last time was 750 mls. I had to use suction via the dipstick pipe. They don’t give a sh.t. I live in Australia.
It takes more because it’s a turbo charged engine that’s also running at higher RPM usually. The turbo needs a healthy supply of oil and you probably do have an oil cooler since turbos heat up oil pretty good.
@@tyler93539 it matters, seconds count when you start up the engine with a dry filter. Your top end will have 0psi oil pressure for 2-3 seconds while the filter element fills up. Yeah it doesn’t sound like a lot but when you add that all up over the life of the vehicle / every oil change it can make a difference in the long run. Master techs say it does nothing because they don’t give af. They only have to get it to last while it’s still within the powertrain warranty. I butted heads with Toyota master techs / dealerships over a number of different claims they made when I owned a Tacoma, needless to say it was enough to get rid of it. Toyota dealers are the worst of the worst.
@@PhOeNiXpIoLe ok bud what ever you say basement expert ill keep trusting the guys that have been doing this for 30+ years that i work with every day and watch them work on their personal vetches the same way, the last thing a mechanic wants to do is work on a personal vehicle after working on cars all day
They normally change the oil when they give it to you, but then again you will never catch me changing my own oil when a vehicle cost as much as they do these days. Oil changes should be free as it's not even worth the cost of doing it yourself these days either.
I also had this problem looks like the skid plates metal grommets up front aren’t centered with the hole for the bolt just took a bit of finesse to get it back on
Great idea to change oil early. Factory parts/filter absolutely! I'm still old school, not doin 10k between changes. Dont get me started on 0W oil :)Disassembly required for oil changes? .. I still feel spoiled with my 2014(Holy hell, my truck is 10 years old already). Filter up top, pan bolt easy access.
You bought a new one???? Ya my buddy bought the new ttv6 22 Tundra ya hid engine blew at 22k miles. I would have kept your 3rd gen. I have a 19 trd or manual Tacoma and a 24 Trd Pro 4runner. I not trading thoues in on the 4th and 6th gens no way.
watching your videos on 3rd and 4th gen aren't the same to me as of 8/30/24 nothing to do with how you post, your doing great but my 3rd gen Tacoma trd pro was stolen and honestly makes me sad.. but congrats on your 4th gen🎉
Just curious about your opinion on the quality of the gen 4 Tacoma vs your gen 3! Use any criteria you wish to compare them briefly! BTW... It's not the mountains calling you... It's us, in New England... Come here and go bogging with us ANYTIME! Take care and thanks for the informative commentary!
F133N is newer version with a larger hole in the valve body, and it drains 2x-3x times faster. F133N has long outlet nipple and F133S is short nipple. edit: on initial installation, Fumoto states to only tighten their valve to 15 ft-lb, NOT 30 ft-lb the OEM steel plug needs. The fumoto valve is made of softer brass, and I've seen pics of the valve's male thread sheared off, when it was tightened to 30. Without a torque wrench , Fumoto recommends tighten an additional 1/8 - 1/4 turn past finger tight (using a new Toyota blue gasket, of course).
I’d switch over to Valvoline, the Havoline additive package isn’t all that great, 10k miles between changes is way too long no matter what stage in life the truck is in.
Additionally, latest & greatest is meeting the GM oil spec "Dexos-1 Gen3". It supposedly reduces risk of low speed preignition (detonation) in direct injection (DI) engines. An oil can be "SP" rated, but won't necessarily also meet the Dexos specs. At the risk of overthinking it, the "Extended Protection" versions of Valvoline & Mobil1 synthetics have an enhanced additive package, but I still would NOT increase the oil change interval of 5K-6K miles that Toyota typically recommends for "heavy duty " use (eg, towing or predominantly shorter trips)
you don’t need oil change. salesman or financial advisor should tell you if bought brand new truck. will free oil change for 2 years every 10,000 miles plus free tires rotation every 5,000 miles. that’s what i bought brand new tacoma 2022 i got still running free oil changed every 10,000 and free tires rotation every 5,000. But i ll trade in 2024 tacoma maybe next years.
One of the things I appreciate about my 4.0 gen 2 Tacoma is it takes an even 5 qts and the filter is up top and is easy to change 😁
The reason the smaller engine uses the same oil is for the turbo. Just watched the car care nut about turbos. The inter cooler uses the oil

I was thinking of buying one but "made in Mexico" threw me off and price Toyota is asking for thses trucks are crazy
5W-20 in a Turbo engine, Hmmm_ Usually turbo engines use 5w-30 cause the engines run hotter.
NICE
Go figure they went back to normal oil filters. I despise my 3rd gens paper filter and housing 😒
I'm a retired mechanic. Just go by the intervals in the manual. You will never know the difference except that you'll save time & money.
Oils cheap, turbo engines not so much
That works if you plan to trade the vehicle in at 100,000 miles.
@@Garuda1415 exactly
Bad advice. Turbo need to be oil change every 3 to 4000 miles.
Hey Chloe, did you have any issues bolting the skid plates back on? I could not get them to thread and it took me forever.
I also had this problem looks like the skid plates metal grommets up front aren’t centered with the hole for the bolt just took a bit of finesse to get it back on
That oil was black at 1000k
Great idea to change oil early. Factory parts/filter absolutely! I'm still old school, not doin 10k between changes. Dont get me started on 0W oil :)Disassembly required for oil changes? .. I still feel spoiled with my 2014(Holy hell, my truck is 10 years old already). Filter up top, pan bolt easy access.
Bet you would've found metal in the filter.
5k max on a turbo engine
that's life saver compear 3 gen oil filter 😂😂
You bought a new one???? Ya my buddy bought the new ttv6 22 Tundra ya hid engine blew at 22k miles. I would have kept your 3rd gen. I have a 19 trd or manual Tacoma and a 24 Trd Pro 4runner. I not trading thoues in on the 4th and 6th gens no way.
Well at 58 k CASH DEAL !!!!! you can change the oil every day if u want.
watching your videos on 3rd and 4th gen aren't the same to me as of 8/30/24 nothing to do with how you post, your doing great but my 3rd gen Tacoma trd pro was stolen and honestly makes me sad.. but congrats on your 4th gen🎉
5000
Bridie Course
Just curious about your opinion on the quality of the gen 4 Tacoma vs your gen 3! Use any criteria you wish to compare them briefly! BTW... It's not the mountains calling you... It's us, in New England... Come here and go bogging with us ANYTIME! Take care and thanks for the informative commentary!
The Car Care Nut made a video going over Toyota/Lexus parts including what YYZ means: th-cam.com/video/dFQPxSzPGF8/w-d-xo.html
Dang, oil gets that dirty after only 1000 miles?
Modern detergent oils get pretty dark even at low mileage oil changes.
Poor Taco 😢 gone so soon, Honda drivers man 😅
5k please
👊👍
This may help with your oil drain. (Fumoto F103N)
F133N is newer version with a larger hole in the valve body, and it drains 2x-3x times faster. F133N has long outlet nipple and F133S is short nipple.
edit: on initial installation, Fumoto states to only tighten their valve to 15 ft-lb, NOT 30 ft-lb the OEM steel plug needs. The fumoto valve is made of softer brass, and I've seen pics of the valve's male thread sheared off, when it was tightened to 30.
Without a torque wrench , Fumoto recommends tighten an additional 1/8 - 1/4 turn past finger tight (using a new Toyota blue gasket, of course).
I’d switch over to Valvoline, the Havoline additive package isn’t all that great, 10k miles between changes is way too long no matter what stage in life the truck is in.
Additionally, latest & greatest is meeting the GM oil spec "Dexos-1 Gen3". It supposedly reduces risk of low speed preignition (detonation) in direct injection (DI) engines. An oil can be "SP" rated, but won't necessarily also meet the Dexos specs.
At the risk of overthinking it, the "Extended Protection" versions of Valvoline & Mobil1 synthetics have an enhanced additive package, but I still would NOT increase the oil change interval of 5K-6K miles that Toyota typically recommends for "heavy duty " use (eg, towing or predominantly shorter trips)
1008 miles lmao
Hope your okay after the car accident
Thank you 🙏🏼 sucks for sure but it could’ve been way worse. Thankfully everyone + Cody was totally fine
What happened?@@ChloeKuo
you don’t need oil change. salesman or financial advisor should tell you if bought brand new truck. will free oil change for 2 years every 10,000 miles plus free tires rotation every 5,000 miles. that’s what i bought brand new tacoma 2022 i got still running free oil changed every 10,000 and free tires rotation every 5,000. But i ll trade in 2024 tacoma maybe next years.
For my new vehicle I always let the dealer do the oil change for until the warranty expires.
That's if you trust a dealer, I know I'll do a better job, and if you do it right and keep records it's still under warranty.
You're going to trust the dealer who wants to sell you another car?
Changing oil that fast is pavement princess behaviour
Social media pressure.
