Bro I have to give you major credit for flawlessly draining that oil in one perfect column not a single drop on the ground. I made a total mess it even spattered on my clothes and face 😝 but to my defense it was my first time. Hopefully I will improve next time. Thanks for the video.
Haha thanks man. Just keep inward pressure on the bolt until it is all the way screwed out. It takes a little practice. I have had my fair share of oil spill situations for sure.
You can always use a fluid extractor to get the oil out. Then you'll only need to worry about what's in the filter. You also won't need to worry about the oil plug and its gasket.
No matter how many times with 5 cars to do oil changes on always need a refresher 😂 thanks 🙏 56,000 miles on my Tundra 2021 cement every 5,000 miles baby lasting a long time! Did all diffs at 40,000 miles doing Transmission soon! At 60,000 thanks
It’s a lot easier if you get a skid plate with oil filter access. Overall it is a pretty simple process. I had a f150 ecoboost that was a whole different story.
thank u for the video! doin my 1st oil change on my 21 tundtra. i ordered all the right stuff, will be changing my own oil ever 5k, gonna enjoy this big v8 for several hundred thousand miles cuz i sure as hell aint buyin an underpowered overworked v6 in a fullsize
Cut a 7 inch access panel in the skid plate to get to the filter, purchase the fomoto valve for the drain plug to better control the oil draining into a five gallo jug…purchase from motive x the filter wrench that have finger plates that match the ribs on the filter housing Use amzoil filters while more expensive the oil flow better….everyone has oil preference I use the best Penzoil Ultra These are my suggestions..I have 21 limited if you tow purchase the genuine transmission cooler kit Toyota deflected the trans cooler after 2018 a must have to keep the trans cool when towing
Tundra oil change intervals are recommended by Toyota every 10k miles. If you check your Owners Manual in the maintenance log section, you’ll notice that Oil Changes are not listed on the 5k, 15k, 25k, etc intervals. Personally, I was concerned with the 10k mile intervals. I have 25k miles on my 2020 Tundra Platinum 4x4 and the dealership has only changed the oil twice at 10k and 20k miles. After watching The Car Care Nut’s recent video titled “TOYOTA OWNERS! Please NEVER Do THIS to Your Toyota!”, he convinced me to ignore Toyota’s “recommended 10k oil change” and start changing it every 5k miles. Here’s the link if you care to watch. ruclips.net/video/TJhFAwFv-O0/видео.html
Yea I did all my research and it’s just common sense that more frequent oil changes would keep the engine cleaner. This is my first new truck so I decided I would change it every 5k miles no matter what. Also I just don’t trust the dealership oil technicians not to put my drain plug back in with an impact.
That's an EXCELLENT unbiased video, HIGHLY recommend people watch it. That being said I was commuting 5k miles every 5 weeks, 99% highway. Used mobil 1 0-20 in my honda civic, 368k miles with ZERO oil loss between changes.
The washer gives a more uniform seal to the mating surface of the fastener. I have gotten away with just cleaning and reusing them plenty of times but for how cheap they are I just change them out now. Once they are crushed you have a chance of it leaking since it has been deformed.
@@MarleyJaxGarage yeah I agree and toyota already has a new 5.0l high output na v8 in the Lexus is 500 fsport. They badly need to drop that babe in and take the turbo v6 out.
@@MarleyJaxGarage How's the aluminum housing upgrade been holding up ? Do you put a thin layer of antiseeze on the threads ? Thanks for any info in advance 🇺🇲
Did I you get the recall done on your truck for the hi beams and low beams being on at the same time. If you did and can you do a review on it and what the dealer actually has done to fix the problem? Thanks
The directions says 7.9 quarts and not 8.5 quarts? I went and dumped in 8 quarts. The oil level hit the bottom of the top dot on the dipstick. I didn't pay 80 dollars for the MotivX kit. I only bought the funnel and the wrench separately for 25 dollars. I made my own drain hose by using the one that came with the oil filter for 7.50 and comes with a crush washer. Not even a drop on me or the floor.
Where did you get that information? All the research I have done suggests Toyota oil is made by Mobil. Toyota does not make there own oil. I do use an OEM filter but that’s because I buy it in bulk. I don’t really worry about it too much with the 5k interval oil change which I think is the most important.
Friend of the family who is an engineer for Toyota. Yes Exxon/Mobile does make the Toyota oil. They formulate it specifically for the Toyota 5.7 so it has slight differences as far as the additives which make it more ideal For the tundra. I wasn’t trying to be combative, really you can’t go wrong with either one but technically the Toyota oil is “better” for the tundra.
@@UghDroppingLoads interesting, if you have any specific info on that I would love to see it. Send it to my email in the description. My buddy at Toyota told me something completely different. He said the 5.7s have been around so long that any good 0w20 oil would be good as long as it is changed every 5k. The way he explained it to me is that the toyota oil and the specific additives that they use are specifically designed for the newer engines that start and stop when at a light and idling. They are actually somewhat thinner to better protect the engine since the oil pump is frequently off. The tundras don’t have that issue so the oil really doesn’t benefit it but I would love to hear differing opinions on the matter.
@@UghDroppingLoads the is not true. Both are good oils and fine to use on these trucks. More importantly, change your oil every 5K miles. People are so caught up which type of oil they use, more frequent oil change intervals is the best thing you can do to a vehicle if you plan on keeping it long term
I literally said both oils are fine to use on the trucks and you can’t go wrong with either one. Toyota uses Toyota oil for a reason, as minute as it may be to you and I, I’m just saying they had it formulated for them for a reason so there is a difference. Again, it’s insignificant if you are changing your oil properly.
@@MarleyJaxGarage I took both my wife's 2021 Highlander and daughter's 2020 Corolla, Toyota changed the oil, replaced fluid, and rotated tires all under Total Care. Hard to beat Toyota Care from a cost and time saving stand point. And if I have to trust them to do an engine rebuild/swap for warranty work then I think they can properly do an oil change. Just my .02
Was that at the 5k service? They told me all the vehicles running synthetic only get them at the 10k service. Not saying I don’t trust them but the guy doing oil changes won’t be the same one doing engine work. It also all depends on which location your having it serviced at, I have had both good and bad technicians. I trust myself enough to do basic maintenance and the cost doesn’t bother me at all.
@@MarleyJaxGarage When you take it in for service, they will give you an oil change sticker to come back in 5k. As previously mentioned they do a complete service and it got billed under Toyota Care. I did not have to pay a penny. Service advisor also informed me that they use full synthetic oil as well.
I took mine in for service at 5k. They did not change my oil, I’m not sure if your Toyota dealer is different. I didn’t decide to change my oil until after I received my service and they told me the first oil change was at 10k. My service included: Check installation of driver’s floor mat Inspect and adjust all fluid levels Inspect wiper blades Rotate tires Visually inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
I know that Toyota knows what they are doing but man I cringe at 0W-20W in a V8 thats towing. In the sweltering heat of Summer a 5w-30 would have made more sense. Bombs away ... LOL
I’m not too worried about it, these engines are proven and I don’t think you or I know any better than Toyota engineers. Doesn’t seem like it would benefit them at all recommend a lesser oil type.
I was leary about 0W-20 in anything but close tolerances needs thinner weight. Wife's Camry used 0W-20, my Tundra uses 0W-20. Now she has a new RAV4 and it calls for 0W-16 !!!! Never an issue in SC heat. I change at 5k intervals. Always used Mobil1. They run better and get better mileage with recommended oil.
Really couldn't ask for a better video. Looking forward to more!

It would be great if the new oil filter came standard with a crush washer.
Excellent tutorial and filming! Look forward to more Tundra stuff from you.
Excellent vid. Very well done. No extra crap I don't care about and speeded up in the right parts.
Thanks man I appreciate it. That was one of the main reasons I started making videos.
Thanks for using our tools!
Made the job so much easier!
Y'all should give him more toll
I cut a hole in my skid plate just large enough to remove the oil filter saves a lot of time
Yea I am debating on this or buying a TRD skid plate off marketplace. I already ordered the aluminum oil filter housing.
I'm up for a new truck. This is a great video. Why is it that my t100 from 1997 is about five steps easier to do than a truck from 2021?

Thanks man I will check into it, what exact oil are you running? And what model filter?
Thanks for linking that kit, Bro. Very convenient.
For an oil change thats pretty intensive
Seems pretty average for most vehicles I have done. Was a walk in the park compared to the f150 ecoboost I had before.

@@MarleyJaxGarage I agree. I came to the same conclusion and that’s why I’m changing my own oil twice as often as Toyota recommends.

What’s the importance of changing the washer? I’m about to do my first oil change I got the kit you put in the link
The washer gives a more uniform seal to the mating surface of the fastener. I have gotten away with just cleaning and reusing them plenty of times but for how cheap they are I just change them out now. Once they are crushed you have a chance of it leaking since it has been deformed.
Got it so just a regular fender washer will do?
@@CesarHernandez-ys2cm I know this is old, but no, a crush washer differs from a fender/flat washer.
Great camera shooting and excellent video, thank you so much..
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video!
Really nice job on the video. I look forward to more Tundra maintenance vids from you 😊
Look into the TRD oil filter it's a bit more money but it's 10× the filter.
Yea I saw those after I bought the regular filter. I want the aluminum filter housing too.
Didn’t know these filters existed
@@jamesburroughs7248 i like them a lot i try to use it for every oil change, last time they were back ordered go figure.
Outstandingly made video!
Which plugs are you going to use and what rotors if I don’t mind me asking great video
I’m not sure yet. I will probably leave everything OEM for the near future since it is so new. Do you have any recommendations?
@@MarleyJaxGarage I keep getting info on NGK and Denso spark plugs I hear they pretty good
@@MarleyJaxGarage still kinda iffy about rotors man they costly as all out doors
Really happy that toyota got rid of that trash filter with the new tundra that came out. Went back to a canister.
Yea I just bought the aluminum housing for the next oil change. I went with the old tundra, not ready to give up the V8 yet.

30 ft lbs. for the drain plug on my 2016 tundra
how to reset after engine oil change
On the multi-information display, select “Vehicle Settings.”
Select “Maintenance Reset.”
Select and press “YES.
Great video.
Very thorough and love your explanation with details!
Good job
Love and appreciate your videos man.
