When unscrewing the oil filter, in addition to wearing latex gloves, i like to use a shop towel to wrap around the filter while loosening it. Helps to avoid spilling dirty oil on my arm.
I've been told that since 0w20 pumps better in cold temps and is less viscous than 5w30, it's preferable for Toyotas, especially ones with more engine wear.
@@mickmockedmackJust wanted to share my findings… Yes 0w20 pumps better and is more viscous, but this engine was engineered to run off of 5w30, which is why most people elect to use that. Toyota switched this to 0w20 to improve gas mileage. Usually with more engine wear you will want a thicker oil to make up for the tolerances lost by wear and tear.
Got a question I have a 2007 Toyota Camry 2.4 engine I put a little more then 5 quarts in there and it’s showing on the dipstick that I barely put any and yes I made sure it I poured it in the right spot and there’s no oil leak anywhere plus I’m getting a low engine oil pressure light with a check engine light
@ 176k miles and I don’t know I bought it used from someone the red triangle light is blinking and it says low engine oil pressure I already added 6 quarts of oil it won’t show on the dipstick I’m very confused could a bad oil pump make it do that ?
Thanks for the clear helpful video bud!
Thanks for your video. Make sure to have the car off the jack stands and on a level surface when checking the oil level.
Thank you! I saw another video but he didn't mention that the filter is right by the screw
@@jevinday Always happy to help!!

@NotKevo how many miles are one the car? Does it burn oil?

Is your engine burning oil?
Mines does is normal when it’s high mileage
Thx
Yo bro, where did you point the jack stand to lift it up? I thought I can only place the jacks on the sides when lifting the front
engine sub frame it's that metal in front of the exhaust has a little hump, the owners manual tell u where
What happened to the oil pan gasket?
@@gmwilliams4314 what do you mean?
First
It seems like this channel isn't all that popular so being first is nothing to boast about.
Need to get a life...
