Having done over 100 oil changes, mostly Toyota's, I thought I'd seen it all. Leave it to Toyota's last service tech to over-torque the oil filter plastic housing. After the 3/8" ratchet didn't provide enough torque, I resorted to a 1/2" ratchet handle just to get it to loose. Not realizing the plastic housing cracked under that extreme torque, I re-installed it and ended up spraying a few quarts of fresh synthetic oil over my garage floor. I purchased the aluminum alternative and this video did a great job explaining everything I needed to know including placement of the large o-ring and lubricating the top and bottom of the filter. Time and time again, I'm reminded that most techs can't be trusted to torque things properly. I've had the drive-through oil and lube businesses strip oil drain plug threading on two different cars (one a Cadillac and Toyota pickup) and now this. Cadillac wanted $1800 to replace the oil pan which I re-tapped myself for $35 for a tap set and new bolt. Sometimes it can't be helped that you have to rely on a tech to do things, but I do my best to keep mechanics away from my cars and find good DIY videos like this one to do it right. Thanks for a great video!

Yes, I'm just past the Toyota complimentary services" and paid over $200 for the last one. I will be doing my own from now on as I have for over 40 years on all my vehicles. I'm worried that the last service the "brand new" Toyota Tech ( the ones who usually do oil changes ) may have over tightened the housing as I am over 100 miles from the Toyota Dealership. The plastic housings more often than not, will crack ( hard to notice until your vehicle has leaked all over the place hopefully in the driveway or garage and not after10-20 miles of driving "down the highway. Where did you get the housing you mentioned and what part number / model was it?

The plastic drain plug comes with all replacement oil filters, as well as the O rings. I attach a hose to the bottom of the plastic drain plug to the oil collecting pan. It does drain the oil from the canister so when the canister is removed there is very little mess. HOWEVER, I HATE THIS TYPE OF OIL CHANGE CANISTER. GIVE ME BACK THE STANDARD SCREW-IN FILTER SYSTEM ANYTIME.

I use the same filter cartirdege removal tool as your video and always torque the cartridge body and the drain cap, as well as the pan plug, with a new crush washer (OEM) each time.

He mentioned that but the one that came with his Mobil Oil Filter was a "screw in" one ( he actually showed how it screws in) and he mentioned how he didn't like it at all. They don't "go bad" so when you use a push in one, keep it for the next oil change and just in case the oil filter you buy comes with the screw in type. The brass one he showed is interesting and I'm curious to know how well they "hold up" over time ( if they leak after a while or fail completely. The draining of the oil isn't absolutely necessary but makes the whole process a little less messy as removing the oil filter housing without draining it first requires that you are very careful to not "tip" it at all or at the very last you will spill a little oil and at worst you will spill about 1/3 of a liter / quart of hot oil. You can never reach every nook or cranny to clean the spilled oil up. Oh and just remember after draining the oil from the housing to use a fresh "O Ring" on that drain hole plug and DON'T over tighten it ( I think the torque is only about 11-12 foot lbs nut don't quote me on that.

The oil is basically brand new...do you want to dump out $30 worth of oil just to fix a $2 O-ring? Also, there are many people out there who replace the synthetic oil at 10K intervals, but replace the filter every 5K. Anyway OP, there is no issue removing the filter cap without draining the oil. You will loose only what is in the cap.....half a quart or so. In fact, I believe they swapped the cap and filter before draining the oil even in this video.

It's my opinion that the aluminum oil filter assembly is actually not a good idea. You only have to torque the plastic one to 18 lb.ft. Also, if not threaded carefully, the aluminum ones have the potential of stripping and damaging the threads, where the plastic ones never will. As long as you do your own oil changes and torque everything yourself to the proper specs, this doesn't pose any problems. That's just my 2 cents.

I didn't get a chance to watch the whole "video" but I have a few things to mention. Some people have bought some ( not all ) "metal" ( aluminum ) oil filter housings off of Amazon and had "issues" with the part. A very common problem with this rather silly Toyota oil filter system is that do it yourselfers and even "quick oil change" places over tighten the oil filter housing. I believe it only requires 17-18 lb feet of torque which is not very much at all. same with that drain plug on the bottom and I believe that one is even less torque????? I wouldn't suggest using an oil that says it is good for one year or 20,000 miles???? or is it kms? It is better to use the mileage or time that is suggested in the owners manual which is usually 16,000 kms and I would suggest it's cheap insurance to replace it sooner than that 8000 to 10000 kms or 5000 -6000 miles or 6 months max. Mobil Oil filters are probably good but there are some "fake" Toyota Oil Filters available I believe "online" that are notorious for failing. They even have TOYOTA stamped on one of the fins but are made of cheaper, flimsy "paper". Use Toyota oil filters or a reputable brand there's no point in saving a couple bucks on an oil filter that may fail and cause thousands of dollars in repairs. It baffles me that Toyota has gone to plastic for such crucial engine components to "save a few bucks?????" It's even more confusing as Toyota makes a metal oil filter housing to replace the plastic ones ( probably over $30 at Toyota and under $20 "online" at Amazon etc. but there are counterfeits out there ( Toyota only sells their Genuine Toyota Parts through Dealerships because of the Franchise agreement that Toyota has with all their Dealerships) I also believe there are 2 different sizes of oil filter housings and i have no idea which models or years have which size. that Oil Filter housing removal tool looks pretty nice, the plastic ones ones "slip" and or round off especially if the housing was previously overtightened. If you replace the plastic one with a metal one keep the plastic one around just in case it's needed again.

I do not see any advantage to installing an aluminum filter housing-none. Also, OEM filters work as good as any aftermarket available and the filter you installed is much different than the OEM part. I would not use it because of that. Lastly, your trucks warranty will most likely be voided if you go over the 10,000 mile recommended change interval.

Don't just take my word for it, but I believe that the TRD off-road has the same motor as the 2WD 4.0 V6. Look it up to confirm. Another thing you can do to confirm, is wait till you do your oil change and see for your self if your filter canister look similar to the one I show in the video. I hope this helps.

Mobile one advertises 15k miles but they say follow your recommend oil change intervals so I think it’s a wast in my opinion

Some may use their vehicle to travel across the states. Theyre just saying that so theyre not accountable. But their oil is fully capable if you want to use your vehicle to travel across the states. To me, the interval you should follow are the ones that arent engine oil related. Especially the 4WD system.

I did 16000 to 18000 mile oil changes on my 16 Maxima. Using this oil and Archoil 9100. I did do oil analysis with Blackstone and my numbers were fantastic

I'd like to know why some engineer laid awake at night dreaming how to complicate an already simple task on many vehicles such as changing out an oil filter. What a bunch of Bull S@*^.

Stupid to change your oil once a year or 20k . Oil is cheap
