All you need is a 10mm for the air filter and a 14mm for the drain plug... that’s it 😎😁 good info homie 🤙🏼
Homie Hektor subscribed to you and nakai recently. Good content guys! Keep it up
Homie Hektor, another legit mechanic
12mm and 10mm for the plastic protection panels on some of the cars and the skid plates on 4runners, Tacoma and Tundra
@@gothinking3705 I was just about to say that lol
after purchasing every tool on the list i am now mortgaging my house to attain the M calliper. that thing is brutal XD
I would also get a deadblow hammer for getting off tires
Yea forgot to mention that. I would just spartan kick em
Those rock warrior wheels 😭
Being on the lube rack at Toyota I approve this message
Only thing missing is torque sticks 80ft 100ft and 150ft
Don’t want to be over torquing or under torquing just using socket and gun
Or a torque wrench I'd imagine
More and more I’ve been told torque sticks aren’t really accurate. Most techs I know use impacts then torque wrench to exact torque
I don’t use a torque stick at Toyota I just put them on w my gun on lowest setting then toque
At my dealer the techs only use torque sticks. As a Technician I have the responsibility to treat every vehicle as if it is my own. I will always torque every wheel to spec when I sign my name on the that repair order. The last thing I want to do is warp a set of rotors, warp a hub, or worse kill somebody because a wheel feel off due to over-tightened wheel studs. It only takes 1 minute to properly torque 4 wheels. If you can't spare 1 minute per vehicle, you're lazy.
The Matco filter cup is amazing
It’s the same as the blue point, the one toyota gives you gets stuck too easily
Just started as a Lube Tech on Monday. Your videos are perfect. Thanks very much! I've always had a goal of being a Tech!
Nice man good job on getting that position in a time like this 👍
@@LetsDriftMedia thanks!! I hope to get into the main shop at some point. (Luckily for me a guy in the lube shop got arrested... So I took his place.. LOL)
@@commuterdigitalmedia141 😂😂😂 nice man good luck work hard
@@LetsDriftMedia aye cap'n! 😎
Im planning on getting a job at toyota before leaving my current job and if i do get the job im gonna be exciteddd
Hey nick, great vid! Just wondering what size drill bit you used to patch the tires ? Thanks!
Thanks for the video bro!
I said it before and I'll say it again. Express techs deserve higher pay than what they get. The amount of cars they have to do and how fast they have to do them is quite a bit more than the technicians have to.
I agree lube rack requires non stop working banging out oil changes and tires. There a dime a dozen tho so dealers dont see a reason to pay them more
@Truth Defender I was doing oil changes/multi point inspections at toyota in 10 minutes average once the car was in the shop. Set of tires 20-30 mins depending on the size
@Truth Defender usually only when it was super busy. I had an efficient routine. And 2 ten minute breaks a day
Thanks for this video . I'm looking to start my career at a local yota dealership here in norcal as a lube tech.
Definitely the BMW M caliper, it’s a must.
I'm starting an apprenticeship at my local Toyota dealer soon. I'm not sure if I will need tools yet, but this video is very helpful!
Even if it's not required it looks good to bring em
Very informative thank you
The Matco oil filter socket is really nice too
This a helpful video for rookies going into this field. But to include more into this video. As a Toyota Technician as well it's good to keep in handy of an allen set for TRD skid plates to access the oil filter housing & removing center caps from Aftermarket wheels to remove lug nuts. Thin wall sockets would be needed as well.
Thanks for the added tips man, I agree those will def be a good addition 💪
Appreciate this video !! Keep teaching usssss man 🤍
Thank you fam
YO YO..............YO!!!!!!! The intro is everything man. You got me saying that to all the ppl at my work😁. 👍
Haha got my coworkers on the Yo Yo Yooo as well
You gotta do a tshirt! Yo yo........YO! Lmk ill buy!
@@auson8088 how should I do it? Been thinking about that lol
@@LetsDriftMedia I do graphic design I can help you if your interested?
Thank you for sharing
The oil filter wrenches may be the best for removal, when they slip. If you have to damage the oil filter upon removal; it ok if they crunch, because your putting a new one in it's place. However when installing a new one, just do it hand tight, and firm. Great advice! 👍
AYEEE I’m excited thx 4 the vid
Pretty cool video man.I had a ? On a 06 Scion xB Toyota said the key has no chip in it. But why does my used ECU need programmed for ? I’m actually thinking about working for Toyota
Could you do a video on tools you recommended for starting Toyota techs at the main shop.
I have another video that shows the rest of the tools I used on the line
Super video. Keep it up!
This info is super helpful, I start tomorrow and super nervous. I have done dead end jobs for the last 7 years so very excited to get into a job with career potential which is what I'm looking for. This helps a bunch Thanks!
also a toyota lube tech here, was wondering how its been for you so far
@@blademasta3650 it's been going pretty well so far, can't believe it's been 3 months already. Learning a lot so far hopefully it continues this direction. I honestly love it, way better than the dead end stuff even though the pay isn't as good.
Those tools can also apply to working at lexus as its toyotas luxury company.
I live up north and would never use a 12 pt socket on an old nut or bolt. They are always rusty from salt and a big risk to strip. Ford Driveshaft bolts are 12pt.
just got my bluepoint oil filter tool.... and i start at toyota on the 6th, lets see if this tool really does live it to what you made it sound like haha
Do you know anything about the Motivx 2320 wrench for Toyota filters? I currently work at a parts store and we carry a Lisle 61040 and I’m trying to decide between the two as I get my tool box ready to start as a lube tech.
I found so many Toyota oil filter cups under cars and stream lights under the hood
you got an eBay account, ill buy a streamlight strion if you have an extra
Matco makes a better oil filter cup that also engages the tabs as well as the sides of the oil filter housing. Definitely recommend torque sticks at least the 80 and 100ft lbs. instead of plain 10 and 12 mm sockets I would recommend the magnetic ones
Those are nice but they crack after alot of uses but will do the job fine
Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍
So I’m a student at in high school and attendee at warren tech in Colorado. I’ve put in 2 years there and are looking to start at Toyota. We get the sep discount at snapon so I used money from a mutual fund to buy my set I’ll use for when I start working next year. I spent around 7000 on just the snapon and got a really good roll cart and a few misc brands for other. Should I put in an extra year to get an aa in automotive or just go right into working is there a difference in pay
Any tips for an applicant? I've got 10 yrs experience combined in parts and writing service, but I'm over the people and I have applied for the lube rack at Toyota, but I have no hands on experience to mention.
I would also recommend the M calipers 😂🙌🏼
What kind of air chuck is that? Do you recommend it ?
You did a great job 👍.on this video.
Thanks man
Off topic but On the newer type toyotas with the paper filter oil canister. Do I need to open the bottom drain for the cannister? Is it necessary?
No that's just if you want to drain the filter before removal. I never did I just removed the entire cartridge
I just started as a lube tech at a chrysler dealer and this is what my core set looks like as well. Only difference is I have a 13mm long ratchet wrench lol. Chrysler is great when it comes to skids. Only the charger and challenger have to be removed to service. Good video.
Did you study automotive techn at a trade school?
It’s not a 13mm it’s a 1/2 mm
hey man can you drop the link for the 12-14 wrench ?
How does the commission work for express lube techs at Toyota?
Luby life (love your content)
I just found your channel decided to apply to become a lube tech at Toyota and got the job lol
Nice man
Lets Drift Media did you take mechanical courses yourself or did you go through Toyota’s training ?
@@einen4554 I went to citrus community college took a 2 year auto program
I have a messed up driving record too. A large chain car repair chain hired me to be a lube and tire tech. Upon my background check coming back they said I could not work there at this time. Oh well I work in IT and do 95% of my car repair and maintenance.
Yea dealerships dont bother with bad records. I understand tho since they have to insure you to drive customer vehicles but it does suck for some I learned my lesson fersure
Yeah they take driving records very seriously
Pretty simple . Nothing crazy and pretty affordable.
Thanks for the videos! Does that oil filter wrench OFTOY468 work with the new 4runners and Tacomas?
Yes all Toyota/Lexus cartridges use the same oil filter socket. It even works on the small disposable filters that many 4cylinder Toyotas have.
@@LetsDriftMedia Thanks. The wrench works well. Do you recommend / or is there any advantage to using the OEM Toyota Oil?
I’m 32 with little experience but been working at a tire shop for 3 months now and really enjoy it. Considering taking automotive classes this fall either one year certificate or two year program. Is it worth getting into this field this late in my age?
I hope Nick responds to your comment because I am in a nearly exact situation as you: 32 years old, no formal automotive experience/knowledge, I worked at Discount Tire for 3 years, interested in becoming an auto tech at the Toyota dealership 4 minutes away from my home and looking into community college auto tech classes once I separate from the Army where I've been a helicopter mechanic for 15 years.
Whatever path you choose, I wish you the best of luck Tyler!
@@TheAH64mech ya trying to decide on a trade this late in the game tough choice. Mainly done factory work which is ok but just isn’t fulfilling. Seems automotive field don’t always pay that great but I find it enjoyable and fulfilling.
Same boat guys but 35 and I've spent the last 10 years between parts and service writing and I'm soooo over dealing with the customers. I have tons of knowledge, but no formal hands on "experience"
THAT IS GOOD
What is the oil filter socket part number
I can vouch for the sockets 8,10,12,14,17,19. I have both deep and shallow sockets for these sizes.
When you started off as a line tech were you ever discouraged or had a tough time flagging your hours?
I have like 5 months as a line tech after being a lube tech, I have my good days and my bad days but sometimes I just feel discouraged, and I question myself a lot.
Tbh not really because when I first got on the line I got fed pure gravy. Even later on when new techs took over the gravy i managed to flag high hours you just need to stay positive dont let one bad job or paycheck discourage you! Mindset is everything
Don’t be discouraged I worked as a lube tech for 9 months then got moved to main line been on main line for 7 years now MT taking L1 Tuesday so hopefully MDT but when I was first moved off of quick lane onto mainline I actually made less money due to being slower then the other techs that had been doing it for years but that soon changed don’t get discouraged over it just take your time and make sure the job is done right the first time and I promise the speed and confidence will come.
cody rs I really appreciate the response bro. I know a bit about cars and diagnosing isn’t my strong suit, but hopefully my managers can see it that way and allow me to grow as a tech.
Im about to get moved to lube and t ten is going good so far
Sick!
A thin wall set isn’t a bad thing to have I run into a lot of tundras were you need a thin 19
do you recommend getting 3/8 ratchet or 1/2 ratchet?
Both
It cool 😎
The newer Toyotas with the a25 engine are actually going back to the spin on filters but the Toyota filter cup fits those as well
Thank you
Blong Thao i can vouch for you on my channel i uploaded a video of me disassembled one of these A25 and they do have spin ons now
Anyone that needs to get that filter socket needs to get the bluepoint. I got some other brand socket and it’s considerably heavier than the blue point.
Chrysler Technician tools you need....
1. *new transmission*
those cars are hoopties! Those mechanics must place an entire car atleast once a year Lol
MetroSB and that’s why we make the big bucks 😉🤷🏻♂️
My Chrysler days did make me the bucks. I remember thin timing chains like the width of a 🚲 😁. Did alot of cyl. Heads since the valve seats would drop.
@@forgedsteelwrench9249 I looked at a Challenger and the salesman told me they are more reliable than Toyota now. I did lots of DIY work on Ford and Toyota/Lexus, not familiar with Chrysler. Toyota products are very good. Ford V8 stuff is quality too.
@@alb12345672 glad to read that you DIY your rides, makes you really own your car no matter what you drive. Not many research their options before pulling the trigger on a new car. Whatever you drive now, (even if it is a chrysler) hope you have a set of reliable wheels.
@@forgedsteelwrench9249 I do every thing that you could do on jackstands. I drive a GS350AWD now. That is a very well built car, decent performance too. Not much to do except service. I changed out the Trans filter, probably not necessary. Can't hurt though and shifts much better.
I like the Chrysler RWD platform. Seems it is one of their better products. Never had a new car. Thinking now may be the time.
This may seem off but later next year when I have money saved up I plan on working at Toyota either express lube technician or entry mechanic technician however am I able to get either jobs or do I need to start low to my way up to another job because I haven't worked on cars since I went to college in 2012 (was there for 1 yr). I like to start working on cars again and getting back into it however I'm 27 and is that bad on their end to not hire me that high of age? I'm just curious I want to get back into the automotive industry however I would like to know if Toyota will hire me or not because of my age and my not so great of automotive knowledge that I forgot a long time ago. Of course I know how to work on my own '14 Tundra and my family cars I've done the basic maintenance on them all but I'm curious if Toyota is willing to hire me at a high age and my not so great knowledge. So what's the best tier level or job to start out at Toyota because it seems like there's a lot of jobs on certain levels they have, seems all to confusing to which to start out at a late of age.
Try to get hired as a lube tech first. Theres only lube techs and flatrate techs so lube tech would be entry level. 27 is not old btw I've seen lube techs come in at there mid 30s
@@LetsDriftMedia Thanks for the response. I might go with that. Another question, since I'll be starting out fresh, will Toyota promote (increases paycheck) me if I work well enough and do they also take out a lot of taxes (FYI, I live in CO)? I looked up on google and it says the average pay on Toyota Lube Tech is $12.86.
The reason why I'm asking is because I still have my '14 Tundra to pay off and having to loose a couple bucks from my current job to going down to Toyota might screw me hard on certain points even though SURELY they'll promote me down the road but I doubt anytime soon. So its like a gamble I'm saying. I would absolutely love to work at Toyota and become a automotive tech but having a few bucks down (as of right now) hurts quite badly with a/n expensive truck.
Hey Nick great video Bro! are you back at Toyota?
Thanks and no still with BMW just figured this video would help alot of people
What about a torque stick in toolbox?
Not a bad idea but personally never used them at the dealer. Just used a torque wrench after setting the vehicle down
Hey man I’m getting an interview with Bmw what the questions they asked you in the interview
Nice good luck! Work experience. How many hours I was flagging. Why I wanted to work for BMW and can I diag.
Lets Drift Media haha I got hired heck yeah man I’m super excited about this career path I heard about there Bmw step program it’s sounds pretty cool !
The Toyota you worked at, is it a Penske company?
No it was family owned
Pry bar and big hammer! Carnicero
Did you get your driving record straightened out?
Yea that was back in 2012 the points fell off my record 3 years later
First of all, you said 7mm Allen socket, it’s actually an 8mm socket or you can most of the time get away with a T-50 torx bit, its for the Scion IAs. An 11mm is socket also for the tpms nut since Toyota’s policy is to remove the sensors before unmounting the tires. I would recommend also a memory saver to plug into the obd port so the memory saves on the car after installing a battery. I would recommend a band wrench set as well at least the small one aprox 63mm for the new Camry and rav 4 oil filters. Other than that, You were right on in giving a description of the tools needed
Thanks for adding those in! Knew I was forgetting some stuff
The 2020 r whole can filter
enjoy the content man! Please persuade BMW to let you video!!! hahaha
Scott Glover of course they wont let him bmw is trash
@@abear9184 fr
Trying. I love BMWs they always need work done. Great for techs!
They wouldnt want someone exposing there unreliable products lol but love this channel dawg stay on your grind big dawg
@@LetsDriftMedia that's the thing. Good for techs, bad for customers 😂
I need a few parts for my AE86! Maybe you can help.
I dont work for toyota this is an old shirt sorry man
are you listening Anthony !!!! harbor freight... this fool wants to get the snap on.....i guess hell have them in a dream lol
do you think I’d qualify to work as a entry tech even tho I’ve never worked as a lube tech?
if you have tech experience then yes, if not I have never seen someone become a tech without having prior experience or going through the lube rack.
How much do you make gross per year as a lube technician for toyota
whatever minimum wage is in your state.
So if you have a bad driving record, over 2 points. You CANT be a tech? Or you have to wait some years before applying again? Thanks boss!
Depends on the dealer everywhere I've been any more then 2 points they couldn't insure you to drive customer cars so cant even be a lube tech technically. I got lucky they let me stay I just wasnt supposed to drive customer cars
What's the part # to that blue point Toyota oil filter socket? Lmk
Jeremy Anthony he said it in the video.
@@nonchalantbeatz ok
OFTOY46.8?
H5, H6 & H10 hex sockets
It was I was all those but obd and drill
I start my lube tech job at Toyota next week hahaha
Nice!
I've just started a mechanic apprenticeship at a local garage which has a great reliable reputation and I've got into mechanics since late 2018 how long do u think it will take for a amateur to get full experience and does it depends on a person and how quick he learns
I dont think you will ever have full experience on cars theres always new technology/advancement when it comes to cars just keep learning
Yh give it 5 years or less or even more I'll be on point
Pittsburg Tools Any Good? Or Crap Mul Stank?
Hit or miss I really like there red/black rubber grip ratchets. The electric 1/2" impact is really good for home use too
Eh brother any work boots you recommend?
JULIO RENE ARGUETA OCHOA redback boots
Red backs hands down
That exact digital tire pressure gauge is actually like 60-70$ on amazon in case anyone was interested in it
Thanks you! I overpaid then back 3 years ago
Lets Drift Media i did the same thing Astro use to make them for Matco and I bought the Matco one for 120$
This model is offered by like 5 different brands. Stay off the trucks they want $140+. I just bought this on Amazon for $60 as stated... It was for another tech as I ran his over 😂
Kanjorsx too expensive homie 😎
Wait...what about the crows foot set?
Not really going to need that as a lube tech. Even flatrate I can only think of 1 or 2 times needing a crows foot for toyota.
bruh hook me up on the oem engine mounts, 4 of them is like 580 bucks
@ 3:02.....Tricked the shit outta me......
I recommend the oem oil filter socket. Has that gorilla pussy grip and its 3/8 so you're not tempted to crank with a 1/2
Since it’s an entry level, are they expect you to know how to mount tires?
They will teach you how to.
@@LetsDriftMedia thank you. I’m about to start with them next week.
Upgrade that impact gun with a 8000ftlbs one designated to remove and tighten oil drain plug.
I only use that impact gun for tire pressure sensors
I’ll bring the m caliper on my first day of work 😭
You left bmw back at toyota? If so you should🤣 you love T
He’s still at BMW this an old video
I have a brembo caliper does that still work?
Should be alright.
You don’t work at BMW anymore?
Still do just put on the toyota uniform for the video
Didnt you work at BMW?
I still do
Hahaha 😂
Torque stick for wheels new techs over torque the wheels when they first start i know i did
What did I just see was that a 10mm
I thought you weren't a tech at toyota anymore
I like your cat more than that over price tool box.
Me too!
I’ll probably lose that 10mm.
How much does a lube tech earn?
Usually just around minimum wage from what I've seen
@@LetsDriftMedia oh okay I just had an interview and I really want to become a technician, hopefully I get the job
@@chrismen8499 nice good luck man
@@LetsDriftMedia I got the job, any tips?
