yes very nice. I'm a bit more OCD than yourself when performing the oil/filter change. I remove the filter housing as a complete unit when draining it. Once drained and the filter removed from the housing, I clean the housing complete inside and out with gas, carb cleaner, paint thinner or whatever I have handy that will thoroughly remove all of the used oil, I also clean the inside where the canister housing fits, but only with paper towels or a rag. I also like that you pre-fill the canister with the new filter inside, IMO this is an important step that many don't take the time to do.
This is one of the best oil change videos yet for this application. You followed the official directions to the letter. Good job. Some viewers may be interested in the torque specs if they have a torque wrench and want to assure that they don't over tighten anything. Oil pan drain plug torque: 40 N•m/30 ft lbs Oil filter cap torque: 25 (±5) N•m/18 (±3.5) ft lbs Oil filter drain plug torque: 13 N•m/10 ft lbs
Congratulations. This is one of the better oil change videos on a six cylinder Toyota with the cartridge filter system that I've seen to date and I've seen a lot of them. I would have included the torque specs is all for those with a torque wrench &/or for those not really sure how tight is tight enough. Oil pan drain plug torque: 40 N•m/30 ft lbs Oil filter cap torque: 25 (±5) N•m/18 (±3.5) ft lbs Oil filter drain plug torque: 13 N•m/10 ft lbs
I don't know what the 22 thumbs down are all about...? I judge these videos on whether or not I would let the person doing the video change my oil. In your case that's a "YES".
Outstanding video!! My daughter asked me to change the oil in her car and I didn’t have a clue for these cars so, your precise detailed narrative was a blessing!! Thank you!
Excellent instructional video. I have changed my engine oil & filter like this for the past 40+ years. OCD is a good thing when doing mechanical work! (I cut oil filter apart and examine it, when I have a few minutes. Just to satisfy my curiosity!)
Great job! This is my first attempt on this model and after watching your video, I'm pumped and ready. Thorough, and detailed (and even positive/upbeat "you can do it!") - just what we need for these types of videos. Thank you, Johnathan, and again, job well done!
Just bought a used Venza and came here to see what was involved. Good video, but this is unintentional ASMR gold. Please edit your tags to include ASMR. You should do more instructional videos.
Very well done video. I always wondered why Toyota came up with 6.4 quarts, but when you suggested as an option to put .4 quarts into the new filter, it all fell into place. I normally just fill with 6 quarts without adding to the dry filter and wait to see when the dipstick shows low... it never does. Curious.
Yea, I learned that when you fill the oil canister with oil, that’s where the .4 is. But also, I believe it’s less strain on the engine when it’s pumping the oil through. But that’s just me :)
This is a great video, thanks for posting it. I just want to make sure I know if this was the 4-cylinder or the V-6 engine? I believe the 2GR-FE engine is the V-6.
I have the same car. I added a fumoto oil drain valve and just remove the whole filter housing in one piece and just replace the one large oring not the small one. It simplifies the process.
Well done video! Unfortunately my 2014 4 cyl. Venza is using oil. I’ve switched to 5w30 and it uses far less. The same engine is used all over the world and in some of the Toyota Hilux. In the Hilux, the book calls for 5w30 oil. I suspect that 0-20 has something to do with slightly better fuel economy or meeting EPA standards.
Norm, I have had a Toyota Service manager tell me that exact same thing! I have had 2 Toyotas go past 300k miles and he said if I wanted my 2016 Camry to go 300k, he said use heavier weight oil to protect the engine and I would get 1 or 2 miles per gallon lower economy, but engine will go 300K plus. Or use 0-20 and add a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer with every oil change. It's all about MPG for EPA!!
Hi there!! Here is the listing Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 640 Oil Filter Socket Wrench for Toyota/Lexus www.amazon.com/dp/B0015PK3AG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YycdEbNN3R5N8
Mine is a 2013 model too with 76000 miles on it. I feel that my car's engine kind of sounds loud, and I can clearly hear my engine while sitting inside the car. I was thinking of switching from 0w20 to 5w30 oil at my next oil change.. will this make my engine run quieter? Mine's a v6 too.
@@JohnathansWorld it doesn't sound quiet at all. Like I have a camry with 4 cylinder that's very quiet at idle, whereas with my venza, I can feel the vibrations and it doesn't feel as quiet as the camry. I thought V6's were supposed to idle better than the l4s. I can hear a knocking sound, like a diesel, or piston slap. Is there anything I can do?
I have 2009 Venza V6 2GR-FE and bought 7 quarts of oil. The last 1 quart bottle I only used 400ml to make the total 6.4quarts of oil like it says in owner manual. However I am unable read the dip stick. It covered in oil everywhere on it. Each time I pull it out and clean it then put back in I can't see the level it's at. What can I do? I don't have problem reading my other cars dipstick.
@@JohnathansWorld Yes, it just seems like the oil is kinda in spots it shouldn't be far up the dipstick. I had it at the Toyota dealer for something else and also asked them to look at it. They pulled out the dipstick in front of me and said it was good. It also is super clear the oil so its hard to even see any oil on it. After driving it some more I should be able to see it better as the oil darkens. Thank you for the reply and the great video it helped me do the oil change!
@@Hilariokinyo Mine too - it's weird how the oil is all over the dip stick! way above full and kinda smeared all over. I've had my 2010 venza 6 cylinder for over 10 years so i just look for any leaks and eyeball where i think the real oil level is. never had a dipstick like this one :)
@@JohnathansWorld do you know if the 2014 venza is the same process? I'm about to buy one and am very excited. I hope the venza is a good buy! I am hearing lots of good things about it.
I believe the process should be the same. I will verify later today to confirm. The venza is an amazing car. Only bad thing about it is the MPG. Other then that it’s a great car.
More than that oh master. If you are showing the jack, the stands... One could keep it to minimum with the filter cap tool and whatever wrench to undo the oil drain. Most likely you do not have to lift the car.
Yeah they put one on, for unknown reason. It seems to say to keep the filter from undoing itself but seems to be rather for obstruction trap to amateur mechanics.
The only way to get the proper reading is make sure the stick is clean then stick it back in the engine as quick as you can in and then out. And look at both the front and back of the stick.
Hey Jonathan. I tried checking the oil level several times on the dipstick. I can't get an accurate reading. I used one full 5 qt jug and then part of a second jug. There is just over 3.5 qts left in that jug meaning I used 1.4 - 1.5 qts beyond the first jug.for a total of 6.4 - 6.5 qts. Should I be worried about over-filling or is the potential overage too insignificant to worry about? Thanks
Hi there!! Thanks for watching my video!! You don’t wanna over fill the oil, it can cause damage internally to the engine, so what I suggest is, wait about 5-10 minutes, leave the car off, then measure the oil again, the reason I suggest leaving it alone for 5-10 minutes is to allow the oil to settle, then try the dip stick again, but try to put the dipstick in and out as quickly as you can, that way the stick will give a better reading but make sure it goes all the way in and pull it out fast. Did you run the engine at all after you finished filling with the new oil?
The manual I have says for the 2GR-FE engine, it is 6.4 qts, but sometimes the pan even when you remove the plug can have some oil laying in the pan, so some times it can be just a bit less then 6.4, but try my method for checking the level and see if it works for you
@@JohnathansWorld did exactly as you said. Ran the engine for 5 then let it sit for 5-10. Pushed and pulled the dipstick quickly but completely. Did it many times and still get a inaccurate smear of oil
That’s strange, do me a favor, take a photo of the dipstick after you pull it out, take a photo of both sides, I wanna see it, Hollowsworld2018@gmail.com
It’s possible there could be too much oil in the pan, if the oil is covering the whole bottom of the stick and not giving you a accurate reading then you may need to take some oil out.
Yea, I noticed that after I made the video, and I forgot to add pop up notes in the video what the manual says because Technically the manual says to use 5W-30 for the V6 Model and 5W-20 or 0W-20 for the V4 Model, I cant edit the video now. but I had no issues with the 0W-20. I sold the car at 100K miles and it still ran like a new car. It’s just my personal preference that I used 0W-20. I live in the Los Angeles area and I got great fuel economy and no engine issues whatsoever ever the entire time I owned the Venza. Also, I stay on top of maintenance for my cars, changing the spark plugs, changing the transmission fluid and filter earlier then what’s recommended by the manual. I’ve also only put Chevron gas in my cars from day 1 of ownership and I don’t have engine knock AT ALL. So it really comes down to conditions you live in and how you maintain your Car.
Not wise to do this without a heavy duty oil filter cap wrench and the best ones have teeth on the bottom of them, just in case you discover that the previous person to do it over-torqued it to the point that it seems impossible to get off.
The filter is impossible to put on too tight. Hand tighten it until it bottoms out. It is hard to loosen up, slowly it will go. Easiest when it is cold.
Yea for sure, I’ve been using the advanced fuel economy in both my Toyota’s since I bought the cars, and my fuel economy has been top notch and also, my cars run perfectly and I have 150,000 miles on my corolla and it still runs perfectly. I recommend using Mobil 1 synthetic oil over any other brand.
Johnathan's World thanks for the response! We just purchased a 2013 Toyota Venza limited with 49k miles! I do all of the maintenance work on my 2013 Civic Si and was suprised to see the differences between some of the maintenance. I plan to do the same on the Venza and it’s always great to see high quality videos like this! I plan to change the trans fluid soon and know it’s quite a complex procedure. Have you done one on your Venza?
Your welcome!! Thanks for watching and subscribing!! I was going to do the transmission fluid change soon but it’s very very complex, have you seen the video how to change it? If not I can tell u the link to watch on RUclips how it’s done.
Johnathan's World yes. It looks kinda nerve racking haha. I plan to buy a scangauge to complete it. Unless it’s reasonable at the dealer to have it done. Did you have a dealer do it? If so, care to share the estimated cost?
No I haven’t changed it yet, I’m gonna change it at the 100,000 mark. I think it’s worth having the dealer do it unless you can get ahold of the kit to do it. But the problem with having dealers do it is how do you know it’s really being done? If you know a mechanic that has the kit to change the fluid on a Venza, and see if u can watch them change it, that’s what I recommend
Could you tell how to disconnect the maintenance required light on my 2015 Toyota Venza I watched how on youtube but the guy talked so fast this 89 year old brain couldn't grasp it. Your oil change instructions are great but don't think I'll tackle that. Thanks
2009-2015 TOYOTA VENZA OIL LIGHT RESET: To turning off the Maintenance Light on 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 Toyota Venza, conform to the following instructions: * Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position, but do not start the engine ** If your car has START push-button , press the “Start” without touching the brake pedal. * Press the odometer button until you see “TRIP A” on the little screen and hold it button * Next, turn the ignition “off” * Press and hold the Trip Odometer button, and turn the ignition switch to the “On” position ** If your car has START push-button , press the “Start” twice without touching the brake pedal. * Continue to hold down the Trip Odometer Reset button until “000000” MILES appears on the display and the maintenance light turns off. This procedure should applies to the first generation of the Toyota Venza (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 models).
You know what? When I watched the video, it was my wife’s house socks and then she just put on some sandals to walk outside lol, My wife was laughing when i told her about your comment lol
You are incorrect, see page 484 and 485, official Toyota Venza Manual for 2013 models. 0W-20 is the preferred Oil per the Toyota Manual. Manual also states you can use 5W-20 one time but you must switch back to 0W-20 on the next change. www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM73010U/pdf/OM73010U.pdf
@@JohnathansWorld I have a 2011 .. 2009-2011 models call for 5W30 ..Interesting that they changed the recommended viscosity to 0W20 starting in 2012 ?? I was not aware. I still use synthetic.

Great video brother! Do you have to order all the gaskets separately or will they come with the new filter?
I have the same car. I added a fumoto oil drain valve and just remove the whole filter housing in one piece and just replace the one large oring not the small one. It simplifies the process.

Hi there, thanks for watching my video. My venza was a 2013 with the plastic housing, never had an issue with the plastic one.

One could keep it to minimum with the filter cap tool and whatever wrench to undo the oil drain. Most likely you do not have to lift the car.
Did the o rings come with the filter??
Nice video, thanks
Very Useful Video 👍
On my 2015 Venza there's a lock on the filter housing. It won't come off unless you take that out. I broke my housing, not knowing that it was there
They must have changed the design after the 2013 model I have.
That so called lock will not interfere with removing the filter cap. Likely is was simply put on too tight during previous oil changes.
No lock on the ones I've seen.
Yeah they put one on, for unknown reason. It seems to say to keep the filter from undoing itself but seems to be rather for obstruction trap to amateur mechanics.
Cant get a correct reading on the dipstick. Any thoughts?
The only way to get the proper reading is make sure the stick is clean then stick it back in the engine as quick as you can in and then out.
And look at both the front and back of the stick.
@@JohnathansWorld tried that, impossible for a read.
When you pull the stick out, is the whole stick covered in oil?
Take out the dip-stick and leave it out for 5 minutes. Then try again.
Perfect 👍
Is this a V6 or 4 cylinder?
V6

Have you noticed any benefits from the advanced fuel economy Mobil 1?
Yea for sure, I’ve been using the advanced fuel economy in both my Toyota’s since I bought the cars, and my fuel economy has been top notch and also, my cars run perfectly and I have 150,000 miles on my corolla and it still runs perfectly.
I recommend using Mobil 1 synthetic oil over any other brand.
Johnathan's World thanks for the response! We just purchased a 2013 Toyota Venza limited with 49k miles! I do all of the maintenance work on my 2013 Civic Si and was suprised to see the differences between some of the maintenance. I plan to do the same on the Venza and it’s always great to see high quality videos like this!
I plan to change the trans fluid soon and know it’s quite a complex procedure. Have you done one on your Venza?
Your welcome!! Thanks for watching and subscribing!!
I was going to do the transmission fluid change soon but it’s very very complex, have you seen the video how to change it? If not I can tell u the link to watch on RUclips how it’s done.
Johnathan's World yes. It looks kinda nerve racking haha. I plan to buy a scangauge to complete it. Unless it’s reasonable at the dealer to have it done. Did you have a dealer do it? If so, care to share the estimated cost?
No I haven’t changed it yet, I’m gonna change it at the 100,000 mark. I think it’s worth having the dealer do it unless you can get ahold of the kit to do it. But the problem with having dealers do it is how do you know it’s really being done?
If you know a mechanic that has the kit to change the fluid on a Venza, and see if u can watch them change it, that’s what I recommend
Could you tell how to disconnect the maintenance required light on my 2015 Toyota Venza I watched how on youtube but the guy talked so fast this 89 year old brain couldn't grasp it. Your oil change instructions are great but don't think I'll tackle that. Thanks
Hi there,
Disconnect it? Did u try to reset it first? You don’t wanna disconnect the light unless you are having issues with it
2009-2015 TOYOTA VENZA OIL LIGHT RESET:
To turning off the Maintenance Light on 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 Toyota Venza, conform to the following instructions:
* Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position, but do not start the engine
** If your car has START push-button , press the “Start” without touching the brake pedal.
* Press the odometer button until you see “TRIP A” on the little screen and hold it button
* Next, turn the ignition “off”
* Press and hold the Trip Odometer button, and turn the ignition switch to the “On” position
** If your car has START push-button , press the “Start” twice without touching the brake pedal.
* Continue to hold down the Trip Odometer Reset button until “000000” MILES appears on the display and the maintenance light turns off.
This procedure should applies to the first generation of the Toyota Venza (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 models).
What socket would I need if I don’t have that tool
Which socket are you referring to? The one to remove the plug or the oil filter housing?
is no socket that would replace that tool
Is it the V6 engine?
Yes it is :)
Thanks Bro!

Just a reminder, the oil filter cup only needs 16 ft lbs of torque... Which is barely anything
Just needs to be snug

Venza 2GR-VE V6 calls for 5W30 not OW20. I use Mobil 1 5W30.
You are incorrect, see page 484 and 485, official Toyota Venza Manual for 2013 models. 0W-20 is the preferred Oil per the Toyota Manual. Manual also states you can use 5W-20 one time but you must switch back to 0W-20 on the next change. www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM73010U/pdf/OM73010U.pdf
@@JohnathansWorld I have a 2011 .. 2009-2011 models call for 5W30 ..Interesting that they changed the recommended viscosity to 0W20 starting in 2012 ?? I was not aware. I still use synthetic.
@@sarahtennent5952
Odd. Our daughter's 2011 Sienna says 0W-20!
I would not jack the car up on gravel/rocks...solid ground
I agree but I have no choice in my home
What do you want. He put boards under everything. This guy pays attention to details.
who on earth designed that filter
Toyota, LoL
That's 'supposed' to be earth friendly.. :-) it 'can' be wringed out during recycling.. unfortunately the home mechanic rarely has that opportunity.
What's the matter. Do you think it's rocket science?
Ya pinch o rings.. automatic transmissions are filed with them lol..
