Amazing diy maintenance tutorial! Definitely very useful for people who's new to diy maintenance like me.
I like this generation Tacoma plenty of accessories to customize.nice easy maintenance.
Great how to vid. Really thought out and detailed! I've seen a few of your other videos and appreciate all the work you put in. Subbed!
Good info. Glad you’re showing how to maintain the trucks
I love this lady and she had taught me so much in one video i am now a full time subscriber to her channel in look forward to more educational videos
I like to lower the spare at least once a year to lubricate the cable (or on newer Tacomas, the chain).
The only time i lowered the spare was to remove it...
weight reduction baaaaaaybeeeeeh, ftw.
@@mauiboy96768 letsgooooo
Makes rear differential gear oil change roomier, too.
Thought I was the only one who did this haha. Yup, lower it about twice a year, hose off dirt/debris, inflate the tire, and lube the cable with cable lube.
Some people say oil changes are only necessary every 10000 miles with full synthetic but more often cannot hurt and actually only be beneficial for the life of the engine especially when putting a lot of miles under dusty conditions.
Chloe, young lady you have it going on! Love all the videos and mods from all your videos. A lot of the mods i have put on my '22 Tacoma. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for making these videos. I don't have a garage or a place to work on my vehicles but I am still learning. One day when I have my own place I'll be able to do a lot more of it myself thanks to your helpful tutorials!
I appreciate your time and efforts making these videos!
Man, I'm learning all kinds if cool stuff on your channel. Really awesome content 👍🏻
Always doing your thing CK Big Ups to your family the whole crew GBU All 🙏 ❤
Very informative good video Chloe I love it thanks for sharing this info about maintenance I appreciate it very much keep up the awesome content 😎 I love learning something new about trucks 🛻
Thanks Chloe for the video! Be careful jacking up the back end with jack on rear end housing as they can break with all of the pressure from the jack.
Thanks for another great and informative video. I love Chevron products. My Tacoma only gets Chevron gas. Getting the fuel system cleaner has been challenging here in Canada.
Great job keeping your truck looking and working good,plus trucks are easy to work on Toyota makes it easy
Thank you for the parts list and part numbers.
Just found your channel, fine job with great information.
Didn't know Chevron includes a bit of techron at the pump - great video Chloe!
Thanks Chloe, great content.
Great video. Well done girl!!
Here i am about to order a grease gun for my 2020 TRD PRO thank you for the video!
Awesome video, I have a Trd off road with the skid plate it came with but with the Trd pro skid plate is it easier to do oil changes because of that removable plate?
Ugh!!’ I love those wheels you got on!!..I can’t wait to get a set of set for my 4runner!.. just saving up. Those the need lock wheels? And do you like them??
Hey, I just bought a set of quick jacks, a little pricey but if you rotate your tires regularly they will save you so much time compared to moving the jack and jack stands. Plus taking the weight off to break or torque the tires is easy.
I personally use BG Platinum 44K fuel system cleaner. Napa as I know is only chain store to carry it. For good reason. Its about $40 a can but the best fuel system cleaner on the market. I chose quality over quantity. Use every oil change as well. Including, BG MOA to improve fuel efficiency & improve oil life & longevity from breakdown over time. I also use BG RF-7 to improve viscosity & seal piston rings to prevent blowby & improve compression, being I have a 21yr old ford ranger with 245k that doesn't skip a beat. I like to use BG EPR "engine performance restoration" once a year to clean entire internal engine of sludge, varnish & carbon deposits! Proof in the puddin lol 🤙🏻
You should try truck camping! I would love to watch travel contents in your channel 👌🏻
Thanks for the video!! 1 question, after you pour the fuel system cleaner, do you run the truck until almost empty? Or do you go fill it up until full?
Nice videos. One food for thought when you are rotating those big heavy tires. Don’t use the your back or set them on your legs. Great for getting injured. Instead get yourself a big pry bar and put it under the tire and use the long bar with the leverage to do the work. Save your back.
Always go OEM. Always. I even go oem on my wheel air caps. That's how ocd I am.
FYI OEM oil filters can be had for $5 or less from the dealer... Just because it's oem doesn't mean it's "more expensive" same can be said for a lot of service items. Also "snake oil in a can" is a waste unless you let your car sit with e10. No need for "cleaners" in the fuel system unless you take short trips and not get the engine hot
More vids to come buddy 👍💯
great video, I pretty do the same to my 4runner, but if you use a good top tier fuel "exxon, shell, chevron, etc... you can skip the fuel additive.
Excellent video, thank you.
Correct me if I am wrong, I have been led to understand that you should do the fuel system cleaning in the tank before you do the oil chance because it tends to make your oil dirty. That way your oil stays cleaner. Just my two cents.
I am looking forward to getting a Tacoma and modifying the suspension. Heard lots of good stuff on the Dobinsons. Not going to be doing a lot of off roading. Want to keep it close to stock as I will be more on pavement. Which set would you consider if you were to go with the Dobinsons MRR 3 way? Thank you for your time!
Love to hear your opinion on the Dobinsons MRR 2 way suspension for the 3rd gen tacoma.
Some people recomend for the oil change to drive the vehicle a short time before draining the oil because I guess hot oil flows better and the oil picks up more of all the wastes.? Also some people, who go by what the dipstick shows recomend to fill oil till the full mark, drive it a bit to have the oil go everywhere (oil filter) then recheck the dipstick and refill accordingly. Finally I was suprised to see the silver tacoma gone and a white one in it's place.? Anyway great video.!
Chloe do you change the Spark plugs yourself? Would love to see a video on how to do that.
Great Video!👍
Just a heads up for those that shop around for best prices. Oil filters and cabin air filters can be found on alternate websites for about 1/4 of the price. If you can afford to support small business, please do but shipping alone was $25 for 3 oil filters and a single cabin air filter. Insane prices if you ask me.
That woman is one of a kind!!
I use bg 44 injector cleaner amazing stuff
3:03, Good job young lady but I have a suggestion for you. Get yourself a 6-point Flank Drive
socket for best grip and to prevent damage to the bolts or lug nuts. Snap-on Flank Drive or even Flank Drive rip-offs are better than a 12-point socket.
I have been using fuel system cleaners for such a long time now. Including motorsports. Never had any fuel system issues other than old gas in my classic Corvette over winter storage. Are you loyal to Techron or do you recommend any other cleaners? I typically buy whatever is on sale.
You should get the hood strut raisers. I did so easy to open/close the heavy hood.
The only oil filter for the 3.5L that compares with toyota's OEM is WIX, so nothing wrong there. However Havoline's detergents is subpar to OEM which is contracted 0W20 Mobil 1 synth, so I'd quit using that, only only oil I'd go with over OEM is Royal Purple dexos, not that XPR stuff in 0W20. I also average around 26k/yr and in cold climates so I care a lot more about engine/trans/diff condition than suspension, tires and brakes.
Have you ever though about installing a fumoto drain valve to make getting the oil out really easy and without mess?
when I was using a "wet" air filter like K&N on my FJ, I would also clean the mass air flow sensor.
If you are getting enough oil on the mass airflow sensor to get it dirty. You are using to much oil.
@@warhorse58gt just the fact that air is moving over an oily element, you're going to get some on the MAF, even a little bit will will get on the wire inside and cause the sensor to send false readings to the ECM
@@warhorse58gt It doesn't matter what is making Mass Airflow Sensor dirty, it should be periodically cleaned just like Throttle Body Assembly.
I believe the TRD intake filter is good for 15-20K before cleanings, amirite ? Great video BTW.
Good explanation Thanks 😊
Chevron with Techron and Texaco with Techron ftw! 😃
i really like the method wheels ,
Thank you for all your videos! Very informative and straight to the point. I have used the last free oil change / maintenance from Toyota and will be doing maintenance on my own. On a side note do you add any protection to your door panels to protect from door scuffs? I didn’t realize how easily they get scuffed by shoes.
I bought door sill protectors from sparks parts and am very happy with them. Make sure you order the right ones because at first I ordered the access cab ones when I needed the double cab ones. I can find part number for you if you’d like! They were about $36 before S&H and come with 4. The ones on Amazon are about $25 and you only get 2.
@@fernb5444 thank you for the info! If you have the part number that would be great! So you used the door sill protectors on the door panels themselves ?
Yep, as someone mentioned before, the door sill protectors are so worth it!!! Here is what I have for my double cab: www.sparksparts.com/oem-parts/toyota-door-sill-protectors-4-piece-pt7473520102?c=Zz1pbnRlcmlvciZzPXNpbGwtcGxhdGUmbD0xJm49U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHMmYT10b3lvdGEmbz10YWNvbWEmeT0yMDIwJnQ9dHJkLXBybyZlPTMtNWwtdjYtZ2Fz
@@ChloeKuo thanks! I actually do have the door sill protectors installed by the factory when I purchased my truck. I apologize if I made it confusing but I was referring to the door panel it self. I have passengers that scuff the door panel next the speaker or they use there foot to push open the door which causes scuffs as well. I am just seeing if anyone has tried to wrap the lower half of the door a vinyl to prevent it. :)
FWIW, Chevron is a great detergent fuel to keep your fuel system clean. A+ on including it as part of the DIY. If you want a fuel for the most horsepower you want Shell. Many tuners I respect say they see better dyno results with Shell than Chevron.
Toyota technicians say fuel Cleaner is a waste of money. And yes the technician does got his own channel on TH-cam.
Chloe, looks like you have a nice floor coat in your garage... what kind of floor coating do you have?
Just change my rear differential on my 19 tacoma 52320 and she almost do her oil change and im also gonna check thr ball joints and pretty soon service the rear drum brakes
Front shafts got 2 zerk fittings
As I remember by the front diff and one near the transfer case
What are your Opinions on the 5th Gen 4Runner..can you please make a video about it thanks!!
Motive X Tool's
Love the kit have one
You're awesome ' thank you !
Awesome great videos
The prices all these dealers charged for simple things like changing out air filter or cabin filter is just ridiculous. I'd been ripped off before and I'd told myself I will never ever go to the dealers for maintenance ever again. I always told my kids, even you're not a mechanic the 2 most important things you should know how to do is 1/ oil change and 2/ brake job. Just these 2 things alone can save you so much money in the long run and it is not that difficult to do.
Agreed. I just started doing my own oil changes and aside from the saved money, it's a very empowering feeling knowing I am capable of doing this on my own.
So do the TPMS sensors stay in the same setting to which tire they were assigned first or does it automatically reprogram?
12:16 I used that plastic oil filter drain thingy and it broke off leaving a small plastic tab in my oil filter housing. I had to take apart the housing to get it out. That was the last time I used that stupid thing!!
Toyota said 1st oil change for my 2022 Tacoma was at 7,000 miles.
Came with the mandatory prepaid oil changes for 3 years. They keep putting excuses to do it so I just do it myself now
Great Videos!! I just bought my first Taco, 2022 SR with SX package, I pick it up Tuesday. Can I fit 265/75r16 on it without any lifts or leveling kits?
Yes. Zero rubbing, confirmed all over the internet w/ no lift. But if ga$ milage (every bit helps) in this Brandon economy is an issue, stick w/ stock size (granted 265/75r16 is only one bump up) and a more A/T aggressive look/design than the stock "all seasons". Chloe's HEAVY KO2's - E rated - virtually no need for that weight on tacomas - they are a drag on what the truck's engine, etc. was designed for. There are better choices in terms of weight.
So you recommend oil changes every 5k miles?
540 RAT is a great blog that compares and tests about 100 types of oil. Halvoline pretty low on list. Quaker state full synthetic oil rates #1. I live in the valley and use 10w30 in my charger
Hey, what are you thoughts on bug deflectors? You think they actually work?
Can you please do ac evaporator clean up video diy!
Thank you so much for showing me how to change my cabin air filter without breaking anything. I'm a 40 year old failed mechanic 😅
Where can you safely put the jack to lift one side of the truck? Anywhere the frame is flat? Is it strong enough?
My last vehicle was unibody where most of the structure was NOT an okay place to put a jack...
I’m like you I do my own oil changes I never ever went for the free Toyota oil changes I don’t trust anyone but myself
What is your opinion on turbo charging a 2019 5 Gen 4Runner? Probably the same engine as yours.
Looks like you used one jack stand. Probably should use two. Floor jacks is really more for just lifting a vehicle. But could be used as a secondary protection or putting one of the wheels underneath once removed as a secondary protection. While working on your second wheel.
where did you find the jack extension .. i have not been able to find a good, heavy duty one to safely put on my jack
Does that TRD PRO Intake fit and function on the 22 Tacoma SR5 Chole ? , thinking of upgrading mine
Had do you reset the maintenance reminder I have a 2021 TRD Off road with premium audio and was told to go to the gear symbol and scroll down to maintenance reset but mine doesn't have the maintenance reset there
great content Chloe 👍. so happy to see Cody 😀. ♥️🌮🐕🦺🐶
What torque wrench are you using?
Ok im lost there is no oil drain plug ? The oil comes out from the filter housing?
Dang, baller. Two Tacoma’s?
Great DIY! I won’t probably use that fuel cleaner every 5K service though. It’ll take out your cat convert when you’re near 80-90k miles.
What do you mean take out ?
@@Alvisr7 Destroy….
Chloe.. what's the difference between the Havoline RS and DS.. the RS is hard to find
You can get those clamps for the air box on eBay for like under 10mbucks
Trans & 4x4 system w/ rear & front diff fluid change
I read that Mobile 1 Full synthetic oil makes toyota brand oil. So i use Mobile 1 and instead of the 0W20 i use 5W20 and a WIX filter
Does Havoline pay you to recommend their oil?
Try Valvoline Synthetic beyond excellent, test prove. And Napa platinum filters. My 2001 4runner has 430K runs so smooth
Thanks
Try gumout tune up in a can!
Take mine to the dealer every 5k for oil change and rotation. I think I pay $86 which seems like a pretty fair price. I clean my own K&N air filter myself.
There’s a video out there showing that the oem oil filter is the worse when it come to filtering
So cute ☺️
i felt pain in my knees when i saw you not using knee protection!🙉
I have the same motivx oil filter wrench and it always gets stuck on the housing it’s a pain and I always have to knock it out how do I afford that
You should check out Baxter performance oil adapters. You can then use a spin on low profile filter. It's so much easier than Toyota oil filter housing filters. Plus more filter material to filter the oil. Also, those plastic oil filter housings can get cracks, leak and cause engine failure.
Toyota engineers know what they are doing. If it came plastic it’s ok to use. Sure they’ll crack if you over tighten them. But if you know what your doing they are fine.
@@charleysantiniJust google "toyota cracked filter housing". Crappy design. It will crack taking them off too. Plastic and heat don't mix.
@@clairebear5029 oh I’m sure they’re are some out there that have cracked. But I’m willing to bet it was more user error then anything else. The Care Car nut did a video on these. He says they’re perfectly fine to use, like I said Toyota engineers wouldn’t approve of something that will break on it own. I’m sure they took heat into consideration when designing them also.
@@charleysantini Metal > Plastic. Plastic is there for lightweight and Planned obsolescence. Just like the lifetime tranny fluid changes LOL and the lack of a fluid dipstick on new highlanders.
@@clairebear5029 yeah I never understood that whole tranny thing with Highlanders. I actually just came from a 2022 Highlander XLE. I was like …wtf? 😂 but I hear ya on the plastic. Trust me I understand. I was going to change my filter housing on the highlander to a metal one. But after I watched car care nut do a review on it, it made sense. I think also using the right filter removal tool makes all the difference with those. Lots of crappy tool designs out there. Some people probably bought a cheap one and jacked up the housing using it. Then over torquing the hell out it. I know you understand proper torque specs cause I saw you use one on your tire rotation video. Btw. Keep up the great vids. Glad I found you!!
Where do u buy ur tort wrech at?? I meed one can u give me a site for it..thank
