In the first part of this series I will show you how to replace your engine oil and engine oil filter. Possibly one of the easiest and most important maintenance on any Toyota. Do this maintenance on time and you will prevent a lot of problems including oil consumption or oil burning.
This guide applies to all Toyota models including those with a canister style oil filter and spin on oil filter. Some tips, tricks and methods we’ve developed to help Junior Toyota mechanics perform these services everyday at the Toyota dealership where I work. This video includes the same training new Toyota technicians recieve when they start their employment at a Toyota dealership.

14mm wrench
Torque wrench
drain pan
canister style oil filter wrench

How to reset maintenance setting in Toyota Sienna 2011. Please.
On my Tacoma some of the fingers were chipped from the dealer my 24 month service was over so I decided to do it myself after I finally got filter off with tool when I put oil in car and started it up oil leaked from one of those fins that were chipped so I ordered a new filter housing when you tighten filter do you bottom filter to engine then torque or bottom filter then leave alone
I have seen people pour some new oils once they drained old one to kind flush it. It that really necessary?
Wha!?! You're the first person to say don't swap the plastic housing for the metal one. Everyone says the OEM plastic is crap!
How many kms/time had the car done on that oil? Looks quite dark. I got the oil changed on my 2021 RAV4 Hybrid at 6023kms/6months and it still had the color of honey on the dipstick (but darker than the color of fresh 0w16 which is almost invisible on the dipstick). Didn't see what it looked like draining tho as the Toyota dealership did the oil change for me at my request (not a standard service).
I know you have a transmission fluid change out but can you post info on changing the 2018 -2022 camry 2.5 liter transmission filter ?
Hi AMD. The blasted Toyota dealership over tightened my oil filter (probs with a impact wrench) so I couldn't get it off with my ratchet and steel oil wrench that toyota supplies. I had already drained the old oil out of the drain plug and I had to add the new oil to drive my car. I later managed to remove the oil filter after a day of driving with a long breaker bar. Some of that old oil from the filter I couldn't remove is mixed in with my new oil. Should I be worried and should I change my oil immediately?
THe old oil was only 11 months old and I did about 4500 miles.
The old oil was semi-synthetic and I added full synthetic as the new oil.
Was wondering if I can use 5W20 in an 06 IS 250. I saw a post on a forum that said that there was a technical service bulletin put out saying to use 5W20 instead of 5W30 but I am unsure about doing it. thank you
I'm going back to doing my own now … thanks for this video, it was the filter style i was unfamiliar with. Not hard at all. Good info here :- )
Where do you get the a quick jack lift
Love your instructional video! never knew how easy it is to change oil in my car… YTM!
I’ve been a detailer for one of my local Toyota dealerships. My mom recently got a used 17 Corolla from said dealership. I’ve changed oil hundreds of times it feels like but I love this vid! Thanks man god bless
Hello AMD ,how do feel about the oil drain plug with magnet? Thank you
You couldn't fill the oil filter before installing because it would have spilled. If it is in the upright kind would you have added oil first?
Thanks for sharing excellent video!
Thanks for the step-by-step presentation. I’ve always change my oil twice a year at about 5000 miles each sometimes a little more. I use my car mainly for long trips anything less than 5 miles it’s by bicycle and feet all year long How do keeps me in top shape. No short vehicle trips ever! I have 140,000 on my 2008 Prius and I don’t burn a drop of oil. Garage cup and battery is good so far
The additional maintenance for off-road and harsh conditions is what I need help with.
This is the first time in my life I've ever heard of checking the oil with the engine fully warmed up. I was always taught (diy of course, never talked to a mechanic about it) that you had to let the engine sit for awhile after being run to get an accurate level and that it should be full on the dipstick at that time. So am I to understand that's all nonsense and you can check the oil after just having run the engine and aim for the level to be in the middle of the dipstick? I've been doing it wrong for so long…
