For those of you that might be angry with me for using these materials, feel free to use any compatible oil filter or oil you like.

After, literally, HOURS..., I finally found your video that told me about taking (what I call) "The Air-Spoiler" off located UNDER the exhaust manifold. I tried to remove the oil filter without knowing about this "Air Dam"/"Valence Sheet"/"Spoiler 😅"..., and I have big hands AND..., the old oil filter was a larger sized diameter 😮😂😢!!! A "Visual" is needed here, and a much longer story 😂😂😅!!!
FANTASTIC video here, and HUGE kudos and praises to you for a "job well done." Now I can FINALLY drive my car with some clean(er) oil 😂. I/we THANK YOU 🎉❤😂!!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for showing me exactly how to do it myself and save hundreds!
Love to read that! Thanks for watching!
4:07 there most definitely is a difference in the quality of oil filters. cut open a cheap fram and an expensive mobil 1 or royal purple filter, you will see the difference in the quality of materials
Just go with a OEM Toyota filter. Most dealer parts counter will include a drain plug washer. My second choice would be a WIX or WIX XP filter.
Once you open Supertech "cheap" oil filter and compare it to any mid-tier $5-$8 oil filter - then you will see how well the Supertech oil filter is made. It is definitely the best bang for the buck and is more than enough for up to 10k miles, if you vehicle manufacturer recommends such interval.
Fram lowest line of filters are absolute crap. But when you go for tough guard or extra or ultra synthetic they are on par with top tier filters
@@njsongwriter quality products cost more. i would rather spend a few extra dollars on a filter than a few thousand on engine repairs
@@SanProsan1993 Yep. I’ve used them for hundreds of thousands of miles in several vehicles, and they perform well.
Thank you so much for this video, so helpful!!, changed oil for the first time. not a problem. I used some duct tape to help loosen oil filter. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching Shelly!
Thanks for the tip! I will try that next time
Duct tape 😮? Who woulda' guessed? GREAT idea..., and I now have a new "tool" for the "ol' tool box" 😉💖🤗!!!
it would be helpful if you would tell the listener what size the bolt is so people know what size socket to grab, just makes sense dude but good information still, thank you!
if you cant figure that one yourself and expect someone to tell you.....than you are not cut out for this kind of work....you're just lazy
Second time around he said the drain is 14mm. Yeah, I like to know that ahead of time also. Otherwise I don't need a video to change oil.
He did, a 14 mm socket. Pay attention
I have a 2007 Highlander with a V6 and was prepared to remove the air dam that the video and the service manual showed. When I climbed under the car I was surprised to find that I didn't have one and there was very easy access to the filter. I have no idea why mine would be different, maybe it was a late model 2007, but it was completely different.
Maybe. Or maybe someone forgot to put it back on? Thanks for watching Alan!
@@2carpros No, it didn't have a place for it. The bumper wrapped under and it was all there was. I don't know if the fact that it's a Limited makes a difference or if it was a late model change. Either way, I'm not complaining since it's a lot easier and looks like it will be the easiest oil change of any car I've had. :-) Also, I really like the little funnel they have below the filter that directs the oil into the pan. Thanks for the reply, it is a great video.
Thanks for the walk through.
3:05 is upside down? Below looking up?
Actually... taller height means "more volume" means "better filtration" so buy the tallest filter for the buck (which fits the vehicle of course).
Hey Body i just bought a toyota highlander 2019 v6 sport for first time which best brand of oil is the correct for this type.
I prefered oil is Mobile 1 full synthetic but there are a lot of TH-camrs out there that prove that cheaper full synthetics, like I use in this video, are just as good. Thanks for watching Byron!
Awesome explanation thank u oh and to all the negatives it's a 14 mm be patient he told u lol
nice. thank You for a clear explanation
You are welcome!
it would be nice if you had mention two things one to becarefull to put the plug in the right way and mention if it is hard to twist it means the threads are not lined up properly and two DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO JIFFFFFY LUUUUBE because their technicians are good at ruining your drain and the plug threads. they did to mine and I cant even prove it because I decided to change the oil myself and that is when I found out now I have to spend $100 the cheapest to replace the pan myself which it looks easy but the pan is silicone glued on and makes it difficult to remove if the car is on the floor jack.
thank you.
Is it necessary to empty out you oil when changing the filter
Nice video, thanks
Suuuper helpful vid! thank you
Thanks for watching!
Informative video but why go thru all the work removing the front valance to get to the oil filter when you can get it from above without having to remove anything ?
Because people will be mean to me if I don't show it. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros LoLz. haha :) Actually tho. Thx for showing that. It reminded me that it's not a pain in the Butt to remove those darn things that get in the way of your work. Of course, that front one is Essential! Otherwise it gets so dirty under there and thats not good for longevity either.
Could you show me changing transmission fluid Toyota Highlander 2000-2004 ,pls,
Yep th-cam.com/video/2jSHRjk7mSM/w-d-xo.html got it right here for you. Thanks for watching!
How many miles between oil changes on this chassis Highlander?
Good job thank you
Is that motor oil any good? The supertech?
It is excellent oil. Made by Warren Distribution for Walmart. They also make MAG1 and others. Check Petroleum Quality Institute of America's website for confirmation.
Check out bobistheoilguy, supertech performs just as good as name brand oil at half the price.
Wait, so we need to replace the washer?
Yeah always a good idea!
depends on how messed up the washer is. Always better to replace it, but if you use the old one and there are no leaks then it doesnt matter
You can’t pre-fill the filter on these anyway because the filter points downwards. I don’t buy that you don’t need to pre-fill filters - whenever you can go ahead it’s not gonna hurt that’s for sure so why not take an extra 30 seconds?
You can if you want to. But it is really unnecessary. Thanks for watching!
Some oil filters are damaged during the manufacturing process.
@@robertwilkins839 so what’s your point? If you prefill you might catch a leak due to damage you mention? Highly unlikely you would not see that anyway
Gasket not an ‘O’
Please wear safety glasses when operating that impact wrench. Seen some things...
Also, why is it if I fill to Toyota’s 5 quart spec for my 05 Highlander, after I drain all oil and change filter, the oil on the dipstick is above the second mark??
@@jonnydwolf all the oil doesnt drain out completely. Some may still be at the back of the pan or just throughout the engine. always measure the amount you take out so you know how miuch to put back
Anyone use 0w20 Supertech oil in their Toyota or Honda engine?? How does it stack-up to the name brands?
I know quite a few people that run Supertech and it works just fine. I have been told by a chemical engineer that the difference is the label and not much else. Thank you for watching!
@@2carprosI have heard Supertech oil is made for Walmart by Citco/Warren for Walmart. Supertech always ran well in my 2011 GMC Canyon... in fact, I got about 1 to 2 mpg better fuel economy using this oil. I'm guessing as long as it meets Toyota specs., I should be fine.
@@2carpros Thank you for the reply. Does this oil meet API SN-plus specs??
With Supertech you pay for oil. With name brands you pay for oil and new sports car for the CEO of that name brand.
This dude is OCD. Which is a good thing when it comes to a mechanic.
That's accurate. Thanks for watching!
