Found the dealer had also totally stripped a skid plate bolt and snapped another, you know, because dealer. 🤷🏻♂️

Nicely detailed video. For those of you looking for tips for your first oil change... especially if, like myself, you do not have the means to lift your vehicle... I will add this: Get the skid plate out of your way, by first removing plastic shield. Yes, there is a plastic retaining pin holding the shield, unless someone already broke it! Disengage it by prying up center part with screwdriver, then the outer (main) part of pin can be pulled out. It remains connected to the shield. The metal skid plate can now be removed more easily. I used a flower pot to hold the plate up while I removed the screws. You can figure out the two hooks in front after the plate swings down. The drain plug washer did indeed stick to the pan... so tightly that I wasn't sure if I was scraping on the washer, or a raised lip of the pan itself. Discovered that the pan definitely is flush with the drain hole, after a pair of pliars finally worked the washer loose. The newly designed Motivx tool worked well on the filter canister, without engaging and potentially damaging the plastic fins. Good advice to use a torque wrench to reassemble, in my opinion.

I have two 4Runners in the house. I put a Fumoto valve on both drains. It’s pretty nice at least for the oil pan drains.
I did my Tundra oil change two times last year. I've owned it five years and had oils changes done at the dealer, but $85 for a dealer to change it versus $55 for two 5 quart jugs of Mobile 1 and a filter, I'm gonna save where I can. But those pesky oil filter housing are a bitch, I found that if they don't wet the O-rings with oil and over torque the housing they suck to get off. But ever since I've been oiling the O-ring and torqueing it to the right amount, they're way easier to get off.

I first learned of toyotas plastic housing filters on this gen 4runner. it's not bad but I do wish it just use a spin on filter so I could run a wix on it. this just takes a teeny bit longer and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that metal arrow on the housing supposed to line up with the ridge on the oil filter housing. I always thought it was a dummy proof way to get it right without torque wrench. it pretty much bottoms out barely a 8th turn after it anyways so it's basically as tight as it needs to be anyways at that position. also that Toyota oil is made by ExxonMobil so if you wanted to save a bit of money. just buy a 0w20 Mobil 1 oil from Walmart or somewhere and thats as close as it gets to oem Toyota oil without costing a fortune. or use any other reputable 0w20 like Castrol edge or pennzoil platinum.

It is cheaper for Toyota to make, since metal is more expensive than paper, and a couple of rubber O rings. A steel screw on oil filter has several parts which are machined, and have to be assembled liquid tight. Then they have to paint it. The steel ones are bigger and heavier to ship too. So the Toyota ones are better for Toyota's profit margin, and for the environment.

I’ve never been so interested in a simple oil change. Such a shame Toyota moved to the canister oil filter. I love the simple cartridge filter on the 1GR-FE in my taco. No need to remove skid plates either. C’mon Toyota, keep things simple!

New 2022 skid plate has a cut out that can be removed with two bolts that allow easy access to the filter cartridge. Only took 7 years to do it.

@@CH-jq7xg no kidding?! I put the TRD skid on my wife’s 2020, so it’s the same, take it off every time. My 2021 I have KDSS, so I have RCI skid plates and a small door. That would have been nice to have a dedicated easy way to take the filter out. Way cool.

I bought a 2019 Highlander even though I wanted a 4Runner. The 4Runner's steering wheel was to far to the left and my shoulder was smashed up against the door.
