Oil change time ! DYI ! With only 5 major oil producers, you are getting quite frequently the same product. But one costs far more than the other. Let the wars continue 🥴
Good video! Just started following your channel. I have the same feelings about changing my own oil. I bought an RCI skid plate with the access door panel to get to the filter because I hated taking that plate off every time. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Had a 2008 Tundra and upgraded to a 2019. Nothing has changed in the oil change process but your video was still helpful. Thank you for the fishing bonus, I love smallmouth fishing too.
worst thing you can do is have some underpaid under qualified grease monkey work on your car. These "oil techs" are techs because they couldn't get a real job or certification.
So far I have added a supercharger, Bully dog intake and exhaust, and a few other mods to my 1794 Tundra. I do agree, I sleep better at night knowing I have done the work myself.
Thanks for the video. I still will never understand this filter design, freaking Toyota, why change something that has worked like a charm for decades?
Synthetic oil is Synthetic oil. SuperTech does the job just like any other type and its cheap so I always go with it as well. And the 2020 Tundra (my truck) uses 0W-20 as well.
@gunluvr20 It's irrelevant what top four oils your company uses.Your company uses a certain vendor that distributes certain oils. It's whatever you can get through your vendor.
nice job. FYI Toyota dealer OEM OILfilters cost only 5.50$ and a new crush washer is a buck Also use anti seize on those skid plate bolts for the next time! My rig has 180 k and rusty bolts do happen
Patrick Thomas -are you able to post a link for those $5 filters? ...have not checked Camelback, but unfortunately my local dealership charges more than msrp for parts unless you push them - that gets old everytime, so they usually do not get my business or endorsement. Thanks
Good idea to do it yourself! the last two (and final!) times I've taken my 4Runner to the dealership they have overfilled by half a quart.... for whatever reason they just round up to the next quart. 4Runner takes 6.5 they Round Up to 7 WTF! The dipstick shows overfill by about 3/8 of an inch... I don't understand the incompetence
I always find it strange that in the US, car dealerships habe such a bad reputation among customers. In my country, almost all dealerships of all automakers do their job pretty well. There will always be bad stuff, but not to the extent of people thinking the dealerships are the worst place to take your car.
It’s mostly because of overcharging, upcharging (upselling) or a bad experience, such as it not being fixed properly and having to return it multiple times. We all want stuff done for free or cheap, sad to say -is the common entitlement mindset. The good experiences come from warranty work or an occasional freebie, or the good ol shop round the corner that you know and trust.
@@JLeeChron ive generally not had any bad experiences with dealerships. Maybe i was lucky. Ive owned nissan, mitsubishi, honda, and now a ford and never had major issues with the local dealerships. I still prefer to work on my own car just to save some time and hassle. Only take in the car if it has a major issue i can't fix. Very few independent shops are trustworthy in my country.
@@JLeeChron i totally get you. Ive been through the same on more than one occasion. Doesn't bother me too much, but definetely not right. I worked as a tech on ford and a mercedes dealership for 2 years and every car i touched got back to the customer in mint condition. Even better that how it came to me. It should always be like that.
He left out a very important part when re assembling the filter cap and center bolt. incorrectly rte assembling this part will lead to oil leaking from your vehicle.
So... Wondering why there so many of these oil change vids on tundra and tacoma and none of them indicate you need to hit the 8 zerk (grease) fittings on the drive line ?!?!??! Buehler... Buehler... Anybody ???
My wife asked me why don't just take it to the local Jiffy Lube? And that's the exact answer I gave her. I don't want some clown 🤡 doing it. I'll do it I'll do it myself.
Zachery Barker harbor freight has those, cheap but work well. @goonzquad uses them also- You remember which color is what size as the size markings do not stand out like I would like- why doesn’t someone make a good socket with the sizes brightly contrasted tho ???!!
@@JLeeChron Awesome-sauce. The sockets I have right now are Craftsman impacts that suck in my opinion. My lug nuts are always lodged in them after I buzz one off. Yes yes I am using the correct size socket. Maybe some cheapies will do the trick?
Derek right steering wheel control scroll to far right settings icon >down to vehicle settings> enter (centerbutton) then down to maintenance reset. For the 18-20 at least may be different for older models though.
To prevent the mess when unscrewing the filter, place a plastic shopping bag around and twist from the outside of the bag. The bag then catches any oil that spills.
@@itsfreewillly5062 That is NOT 10W. It's 0W. Check it out at... m.th-cam.com/video/rVYMoxjTXJw/w-d-xo.html You are reading it wrong. It may look like 10W-20 to you but what looks like a "1" is actually the letters "SAE" printed sideways vertically... Be careful what you say.
Just started doing the oil changes on my 2017 with 24k. "Skid plate bolts stripped out." Check! Stripped bolt and skid plate bolt spacer missing! Plus the dealer has been skimping on the oil (saying it is synthetic and under filling). It takes time, but just do it yourself.
The purpose of this video is to conserve money changing your oil not pay 12 dollars for a filter you can buy for 5 dollars at the dealer which is changed every 5000 miles.
@@JLeeChron B/C the alternator is under the engine, just the right place to pick up any road snow, slush, and mud. TRD? has a plate with an access door to change the oil filter.
Yep I switched to 5w30 for quieter operation and just because, worldwide this engine accepts pretty much all weight’s even 15w40 in some markets. I aim for 5-8k OCI I don’t think it really matters as long as it’s getting changed regularly and at the right level
Use the plastic piece. Way to show the wrong way! Especially if you have installed the TRD skid plate. You will make a huge mess if you don't use the tube for the filter. And you get self-righteous about how to change oil....
Showing how oil flows, showing how oil is poured? !!!! The Tundra oil filter has an additional valve - and this is something that is different. If you showed the whole process of unscrewing the filter housing, cleaning the valve ... OK. A film about how oil is poured into the hole ... a technical joke. And this fish at the end. Change movie scenarios to nature.
@@robertt251 because people buy cheap filters and cheap filters have crappy antidrainback and bypass valves. Using a cartrige filter eliminates the crappy valves and seals in a spin on filter.
Not the best how to video. You showed the oil leaking out of the filter everywhere, and then you were pouring oil in... isn't the filter replacement a major part of the oil change process?
Good video! Just started following your channel.
I have the same feelings about changing my own oil. I bought an RCI skid plate with the access door panel to get to the filter because I hated taking that plate off every time. Keep up the good work!
RCI skid plate sounds like a GREAT idea for me. Gonna Google that and get it on the way for next time ! Thanks !

Ever since I have been doing my own preventative maintenance on my cars, they seem to last much longer with no major issues.
worst thing you can do is have some underpaid under qualified grease monkey work on your car. These "oil techs" are techs because they couldn't get a real job or certification.
@@anandchundi6805 most of the newbie techs at the dealership are the ones that do the oil changes and tire rotations. Most also don’t last very long.
Micheal Keaton doing his own oil changes now.
Lmfao
Good video J Lee, going to do my 2017 Tundra this weekend.
Mobil 1 periodically offers rebates. You can get a rebate of $17 when you purchase 5 qts of oil plus Mobil 1 filter.
So far I have added a supercharger, Bully dog intake and exhaust, and a few other mods to my 1794 Tundra. I do agree, I sleep better at night knowing I have done the work myself.

What ya get for MPG on that bad boy!? Like 8?
Thanks for the video.

Thank you for this!! Picking up my 2020 Limited and trying to learn what I can coming from a Ford
Tundra and a Yamaha. Two best engines out there
Nice and i have both.
Absolutely makes difference leaving oil cap loose + leaving oil filter loose for proper Drain
As always wonderful and interesting
Taco Man thanks 👍
I agree I do my own changes ... this way I know what I’m getting
Great video man very straight forward
Simply simple. Great foking video dude. Thank you

Most Tundra oil change videos don’t open the oil cap before draining. I like your method and do it as well
Thank you for taking the time to make this. helps a noob like me out a lot ☺️
Great video. The only thing is you missed is the reset oil mechanism on the truck😢
@@futureddshanley just toggle through the menu on screen and do a maintenance reset. Easy on the Tundra
@@JLeeChron done!
I like the hat. Where did you get it? (the navy one)
Lost me with the Super Tech oil. Just because it met the one specification doesn't mean it compares to Mobil 1. Look at bobistheoilguy forum
Look up project farm. Oil Olympics. Super tech actually beat out mobil 1.
@gunluvr20 I'm sure with a police fleet the brakes last forever. Around here the cops dont stop at stop signs

How it runs with the super tech oil? Soon I’m going get myself one
Unstoppable David runs just as good with same mpg. Saves a few dollars, and meets the Toyota requirements
Runs fine in my Sequoia and I tow a 25ft Airstream.
What kind of impact sockets are those? I like that they are colored.
Zachery Barker harbor freight has those, cheap but work well. @goonzquad uses them also-
You remember which color is what size as the size markings do not stand out like I would like- why doesn’t someone make a good socket with the sizes brightly contrasted tho ???!!
And also they are not impact rated, but work for smaller duty

How do you reset the dash oil maintenance alert?

Joseph Rawe good tip there! Thanks
Do a video to demonstrate how that works...
Question: Is their a reason why you are using 10w-20? I see others use 0w-20
ItsFree Willly it is 0w20.
J Lee Chronicles Ohhh.. I see him around 1:40 with bottles of 10W-20’s in the background...

Get a Fumoto valve and avoid a potential mess.

Why not leave plate off ?
Guillermo Loredo its ok to leave the skid plate off. Just put it back on when off roading for protection.
@@JLeeChron B/C the alternator is under the engine, just the right place to pick up any road snow, slush, and mud. TRD? has a plate with an access door to change the oil filter.

0w16, no way! I use 5w30 on my 3URFE, always will
