Glad I could help!

That’s why I make these. Oil changes are very easy and you can use high quality products for cheaper than your regular mechanic.

Glad it was helpful!

Appreciate it!

Since this is a top loading oil filter I actually don’t oil the filter up. But definitely oil up the gaskets before tightening it back in.

I do it for my OCD lol. Need to get it as clean as possible.

IF they can prove it is an oil related failure.

Definitely hear that. My friend just wanted the cheapest best quality stuff and this is the combo I came up with.

That FRAM ULTRA is one of the best oil filters on the market. Better then any ACDelco filter.

That’s untrue. Millions of cars around america use Frams on the daily. I’m not a fan of the orange ones, because of the cardboard end caps, but these higher end ones are really great filters.

Most people who review filters like the Fram US. The cheaper ones aren’t that great. But their high end ones are right up there with the Wix XP.

Ramps I got from Harbor Freight. They’re 60 bucks.

Did the front bumper scrap at all

For sure. I usually do that if I have a complicated set up. Like my wife’s 2015 Q50. That was a pain.

If you put in the correct amount. You shouldn’t have to check it….

I mean I’m not a professional. Was just helping my friend out, but what makes you say that?

@ez.repairs the removal of the caliper mounting bracket is not needed. One of the two bolts on the caliper is enough to swing the caliper out to have access to the pads. Sometimes, you may need to remove both.

Car owner here 🙋🏻‍♂️ - I had on the stock mufflers at the time of this video. Now I have MBRP Race Series, they sound insane 🔥🔥🔥

Glad you liked it!

For sure. This is my personal car and Everything so far has been pretty easy. Next job I have to do is locate my coolant leak and fix it. It’s probably the expansion tank.

Good oil 👍

Those spring things?

I like them. They seem pretty reliable. The main issue that I had was the moon roof drain leaking water into the passenger footwell. I just unclogged whatever dirt was clogging up the drain and it hasn’t happened again in about a year. You get lots of tech as well. Heated/cooled seats, 360 cam.

I have one 2010 to be honest it a good car but not worth the money

Honestly. This is my friends car so I’m not to sure the differences in all the different models. but logically. Almost every trim has a different motor or tune. So you really have to find out what’s meant for your specific car. We got a kit off of Amazon for this oil change. I did his car again a few weeks back now and the kit wasn’t available, so I just got a KN filter Walmart suggested, the white one, and I used mobil1.

What weight are you using now? My friend just got this car and would love to avoid having future problems.

@@ez.repairs i used mostly leftover quaker state euro 5w-40 and a bit of 0w-20 to complete it. Was originally going to use just 0w-20 again but I pulled the stick before draining and saw that it was dry. I panicked and drained the oil and measured and it burned a bit over a quart during the 7k miles. But i didn't have a 30 grade so i just mixed two viscosity which is no problem. But you can use full synthetic 5 or 10w-30. 10w-30 if it doesn't go to 0f where you are. Less viscosity improvers is always better. So I'll use 10w-30 next time around. But outside of the US where emissions regulations aren't strict these toyota engines will state to use anything from 0w-20 to 20w-50 in the owners manual. But in the US they can't if they want to get rewarded with EPA credits so they only list 1 thin grade to say they're swaying their customers towards using thinner oils which is what they used to test EPA emissions with. It's done at a corporate fuel economy average so that's why you see a lot of thin oils being recommended even when the engineers are complaining about it. Thin oils accelerate damage and cause oil burning. it's actually the reason why Ford switched their 5.0 back to 5w-30. Thin oils causes wear faster to where it wasn't worth the EPA corporate credit for them. Too many issues during ownership.

1.25 gallons is 5 quarts. So you’ll need a little more.

5.3 qts. I use 16oz of marvel mystery oil and a 5qt jug.

It’s a beast! Enjoy your car!

It’s not my car. The owners are still enjoying it. I see it regularly every 6 months for oil changes.

Not my car. The owner gets lots of heat for keeping it on lol.

Just took it off 2 weeks ago cause it cracked. Died protecting the splitter. Splitter is perfectly fine, no damage at all, just some slight discoloration at first, which went away as it was exposed to the sunlight. Can't even tell the shipping guard was there for 3 years before. RIP Banana 🍌 😢

Yeah that’s my bad. I only noticed after the fact that I said seconds lol.

Thanks for letting me work on this beast!!

I use the hand break when I’m doing the fronts just for added safety. But you have to disengage it to get the rear rotors off.

​@EZ Repairs I talked to a guy who changed his brakes, and he said you haven't disconnected the emergency brake ( since it's electronic). So are you saying you have to electronically disconnect it, or I just need to make sure the emergency brake is not engaged?

Yes for sure. I’m just very OCD and want to clean off as much rust as possible, and taking off the bracket makes that easier. Also helps with not getting grease on the rotor.

But easier to clean the contact surface when off the vehicle

This is true. But since it’s usually up against the piston or the inside of the caliper I like to put on it so it doesn’t stick to it. My friend once had his pads stick and he was getting super crazy noises from his brakes. I told him to put grease on the back of the pads and it fixed the issue. Saved I’m some money since he was about to buy a whole new caliper.

True. But I like to be thorough. So I take it all apart to clean it up.

I like to apply it first so I can get it all over the the ears. But to each their own. Thanks for the tip!

Not my car. My friend asked me to put the new pads on. I showed him that they were fine. But he still wanted it done.

@@ez.repairs This friend needed a friend to help him know facts and not waste time and money for something that obviously didn't need to be done yet!

@@fordwindsor351😂

Not my car. Was doing for a friend. He wanted new pads all around.

You’re right. I’ve done a few brake jobs now and have never done it, I always forget. So far no problems. But why tempt fate. Thank you for the tip!
