Very nicely done. Clear, concise, organized. No wasted words, and not too few. I will be looking for anything else you have re Corolla LE Hybrid. Thanks again!
Im a Corolla Hybrid 2023 owner as well. Love the car plan on doing my own maintenance on it.. Looking forward to more videos on this car. I have 12500 miles on it and did three oil changes on it already. I like using only OEM parts. Hope you can do a series on this car with updates with any issues you were experiencing with (if any) or tips and tricks with owning it thanks! Have a nice day !
A few nick picky things. I suggest wearing disposable gloves to protect your hands from the oil, especially while removing the bolt, filter and cleaning any spilt oil. It can be very messy. Also, pull the oil inspection stick a little out to help introduce air while draining your oil. Also, clean the stick before adding new oil. Thanks for a great, easy to follow and understand video. After the dealer supplied 2 free oil changes, I'll be doing it myself.
Great video, I love your direct style. I just wrote a critical response on The Car Care Nut's page because that dude takes so long to make his points, it's painful trying to get through them to the end. Kudos, one more subscriber for you!
Nice video - clearly narrated and good visuals. Recent practices recommend cleaning the engine surface that contacts the filter and filling the new filter with oil before installing.
Awesome simple and very well lit and explained video. Thank you so much. I just bought a 23 hybrid Corolla. Thank god this car doesn’t have that irritating ass cartridge system that the late model tacomas and 4Runners have !!
If you have normal strength (for a male) there's rarely a need to tighten the filter with a wrench unless it can only be reached at an awkward angle, or for "industrial" size engines. Put a film of new oil on the gasket, too. Good of them to put the filter where it doesn't bleed all over the side of the engine.
If you need a rachet for the plastic cover a 10mm socket is needed. I have 5 oil filter tools and none would work. So I was mad and just went to the dealer and bought the right one that would remove the filter since I plan on keeping this car for 150k miles. lol
Just bought a 2024 Corolla LE 5 days ago. It takes 0W-8 oil. I had to order the oil from a dealership across the country. Only 145 miles on mine so far, so it will be awhile to my first oil change.
@chrislind2 I just bought new 24 also but I would be annoyed if dealership didn’t have oil of car I just spent 30k for. I mean what about when you bring in your car for oil change Will they have it then or do you have to find dealership that does have oil? I already bought my oil from dealership and getting ready to change my oil at 1k miles.then 5k. I have read others of your same plight I guess my question is why, anyone?
I don't believe the manual stated one. What is very common for the many cars I have had is to hand tighten the filter until the gasket of the filter touches the engine block, then turn it three quarters of a turn.
You shouldn’t see any oil consumption at all as long as you change the oil between 3000 and 5000 miles, the 10,000 mile intervals is completely ludicrous just came from a place with a cross track had 150,000 miles on it. Oil was changed every 6000 miles and the engine was sludged. I don’t know how many countless cars I’ve seen completely destroyed by 100,000 miles because they were sludged due to oil change in rolls being too long.
@darkrulier tell me about it lol. Though Subaru has had oiling issues since the beginning of low tension piston rings. Also the PCV was never serviced as well. All in all it was a trashed engine. Just looking down the oil filler cap a with a bore scope told a story of ignorance on byhalf of the original owner
No, people have been using rhino ramps for a very long time. Ideally we'd all have vehicle lifts and the work would be done on a level surface. Driving the car around and getting the oil hot + taking the fill cap off when draining will result in the oil leaving the car quick. Lastly, by changing the oil every 5k miles or so even if I only get out 98-99% of it, the 1-2% of old will mix with the new oil which then over time will get replaced.
By the way often I change the oil on a slight downhill slope (driveways are graded slightly for drainage) and can position the car to point towards the low point effectively reducing the angle a little more. Probably splitting hairs though at this point
In your Excel spreadsheet is there anything other than the amount of well you're putting in and taking out that you're tracking or do you track other things as well.
Aside from tracking oil consumption, I also record the service/repairs done with the date and mileage at the time of each. This helps me keep track of what maintenance I need to do and serves as a great seeking point when I sell the car. I personally would much rather buy a car with service records than not.
I would remove and drain the filter first. Usually if you drain the pan then tighten it up and then remove the filter, more oil tends to drip out from the plug
I don't really have an order that I keep to, I just changed the car's oil on Saturday (up to 27k miles on it now) and took the drain plug and filter off and waited 10 minutes before covering both holes up. Waited 10 minutes cause that's how long it took me to eat breakfast lol.
Bought it Jan of last year. At this point we're avging abt 19,500 mi a year but that will slow down some now that wife is finishing up nursing school that's on the other side of the valley
Hi i went to change my Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2023 LE Transmission Fluid flush but shocking thing the technician came to me and told that its a different fluid which is not available in Canada, He said we use normal Toyota Fluid but for this we need some " TOYOTA GENUINE E-TRANSAXLE FLUID TE", So they hold me car to contact Toyota what to do ... please guide what should i do ?
Thank you. Great video. But i wonder, doesn’t it void the warranty of the car? I thought all new cars should be serviced at the Authorised service centre.
Not in the least. The three year’s manufacturers warranty is there no matter what. It’s purely the extended 10 year warranty that you won’t get at a main dealer but it kicks in again if you go back there at any time during years 4-10. As long as you service it at a main dealer you get one more year’s worth/another 10,000 miles worth of warranty. You can get an extra year’s warranty every time you service at the main dealer, up to and including year 10 or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
If the car is brand new, you should brake it in and change the oil after around 1k miles. Then every 7k miles with good long life oil (brand does not matter as long as it has the Toyota specification). I also think this engine calls for 0W-8 oil, but I am not sure, just make sure you use the right one specified for the vehicle. Oh and a crush washer is a must have not nice to have, believe me and dont ask how I know...
I don't see why not. If your car is a little lower or has an approach angle that's a little more you can put a 2x4 where the bottom of the ramp meets the ground
I also have a 23 corolla hybrid close to 5k miles, should i change it myself now? I am confused as to why because the owners manual says to do the first oil change at 10k
If you plan on keeping the vehicle for a very long time, the best practice would probably be to change the oil every 5-7 thousand miles. It is very common though to do the first oil change in the first couple thousand miles due to the engine breaking in and they're being a lot of metal contaminants suspended in the oil.
I did, I don't have the size as the dealership just asked my model, year, and trim and then gave them to me. I will try measuring them with my digital caliper I just bought though and get back to you
It's definitely not dire. Just get it changed sooner than later... don't wait 10,000 mi before doing the first oil change especially if you plan on keeping the vehicle for many many years
Yup it's ft/lbs. It's thick and definitely not little. I've been doing around that much ft lbs on all my drain plugs over the last 20 years. Never had an issue and also never heard people use inch lbs on a truck/car drain plug before.
Yeah it's really only tiny bolts like valve covers in my experience when you have to move down to the smaller torque wrench. I only do common/typical jobs I don't have experience taking an engine or transmission apart, I'd be surprised if they didn't deal with inch lbs on those items
During the Warranty you should be using Toyotas OEM Brand Oil/Filter and be saving the Receipts. If you have any problems with the Engine your giving Toyota the excuse they look for to Void the Warranty. Was at the Dealer today asking about using Mobil 1 0w-8 in my 2024 Corolla and was told that was a no no. 27 Dollars for 5 Quarts of 0w-8 Mobil 1 and a 7 Dollar Toyota OEM Filter instead of 70 Dollars for 6 Quarts of Toyota OEM Oil or pay 144 Dollars to the Dealer for the Service. What i did was had my Free Oil Changes moved up to 1000 miles for the removal of the break in oil and again at 6 thousand miles for the Second free service. I will never put 20 Thousand miles on my car in 2 Yrs so i would never see the second free oil service. I will be lucky to put 6 or 7 thousand miles a yr on the car because i have a second car. I still plan on going in just before the 2 yr mark for the final inspection and Tire Rotation. Good Video at least i got to see what i may have to deal with. But it's a little late in life for me to climb under cars at 69 yrs old. Thanks for the Video. The only difference between Mobil 1 and Toyotas OEM is slight differences in the Additives Mobil 1 uses more wide range of Additives to sell to more Brands of Cars and Trucks.
There's always crazy things that happen, but I generally have good enough luck that I wouldn't be the one in 500,000 people that has a Corolla lemon. When I did my oil changes, in between the free ones from the dealer under the warranty, they didn't say anything to me. Could their lawyers find a way to screw me if some crazy thing happened during the tiny warranty that came with the car? Yes... but I got bigger things in life to worry about.
The 23 Corolla Hybrid has the 1.8 liter 2ZR FXE motor which Toyota states that 0w16 be used. If you pause at the 1 minute 38 second mark of the video you'll see that the oil cap states 0w16 not 0w8. Hope this helps.
Both are really good, I don't think among the major brands one is going to be by far better than another. There's not a ton of differentiation among well respected oils these days

Nice video - clearly narrated and good visuals. Recent practices recommend cleaning the engine surface that contacts the filter and filling the new filter with oil before installing.
I recently came across some good info on benefits from pre-filling filters. Going to add it to my procedure
Around were I live, mobil1 just came out with a 0w-8 oil. 😅😅
So clear and concise!
Awesome simple and very well lit and explained video. Thank you so much. I just bought a 23 hybrid Corolla. Thank god this car doesn’t have that irritating ass cartridge system that the late model tacomas and 4Runners have !!
Good video. Thank you all the information I needed and write to the point.
Nicely done! Oil coming out looks good! 👍 Nice looking Corolla!
You can pour the old oil in Mobil 1 oil container by using a funnel. Do need oil transport container.
Very well done video.
That is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Thanks!
If you have normal strength (for a male) there's rarely a need to tighten the filter with a wrench unless it can only be reached at an awkward angle, or for "industrial" size engines. Put a film of new oil on the gasket, too. Good of them to put the filter where it doesn't bleed all over the side of the engine.
Agree, if it isn't awkward to twist, hand tightening is the way to go. Usually 3/4 of a turn after the filter touches the housing is all you need
If you need a rachet for the plastic cover a 10mm socket is needed. I have 5 oil filter tools and none would work. So I was mad and just went to the dealer and bought the right one that would remove the filter since I plan on keeping this car for 150k miles. lol
Was it on incredibly tight? Mine was from the factory
@@DIYAroundTheHome I dont really know as I had the metal tool. So it was easy to remove. But I have heard that they are from the factory. :)
Amazing vid thanks!
Noooo!! Lol. When you dropped the filter. Hurt my soul. Great video though!
Just bought a 2024 Corolla LE 5 days ago. It takes 0W-8 oil. I had to order the oil from a dealership across the country. Only 145 miles on mine so far, so it will be awhile to my first oil change.
Non hybrid?
With engine break in I would change it at 1000 miles. Lots of metal shavings from the break in.
You can use OW-16.
Change first oil between 500-1000 miles. The first oil change is the most important.
@chrislind2 I just bought new 24 also but I would be annoyed if dealership didn’t have oil of car I just spent 30k for. I mean what about when you bring in your car for oil change
Will they have it then or do you have to find dealership that does have oil? I already bought my oil from dealership and getting ready to change my oil at 1k miles.then 5k. I have read others of your same plight I guess my question is why, anyone?
Taking off the splash Shield and on the jacks takes the longest. The actual oil change only takes about 5 to 10 minutes
Thank you for your video! Do you happen to know the torque spec for the oil filter?
I don't believe the manual stated one. What is very common for the many cars I have had is to hand tighten the filter until the gasket of the filter touches the engine block, then turn it three quarters of a turn.

Car Care Nut says 5000 miles, I do 5000 miles. I think he's one of the best Toyota RUclipsrs and my personal favorite.
@@CursedEarthPizza yup! And a 1k oil change for break-in
@@CursedEarthPizza Agreed love his channel
Are you concerned that the way your car is jacked and the angle of the drain plug will retain dirty oil in the pan?
No, people have been using rhino ramps for a very long time. Ideally we'd all have vehicle lifts and the work would be done on a level surface.

@@DIYAroundTheHome Sound good, thanks for the quick response!
Thanks, most of us are still under warranty with the oil change. I will do it ouce warranty is up
Yeah I didn't want to go 9,999 mi before the 1st oil change. With the engine breaking in I figured an oil change in-between would be the safest bet
I will be doing the same. 10k oil changes seem foolish.
yes but if you touch it that may maybe the end of your warranty leave it to the dealer.@@MatthewGlenn26196

@DIYAroundTheHome Thanks man I had no idea that it was different, I was told it was fine cause cars are new but honestly better safe than sorry.
question: you need put on any mode your hybrid car before changing oil and filter ? or disconnect battery?
No need to change modes or disconnect your battery

Is 27 ft lbs torque is all for Toyotas ? And is Corolla hybrid has cvt tranny?
Did u put in maintaining mode
Reset the maintenance minder
Have you changed the fuel filter
I have not
2023 corolla call for w-8 oil , not 0w 16 oil, however , you may use 0w 16. must change to 0w8 when you change oil next time according service manual?

The US version of the 2023 Corolla Hybrid uses 0w-16. The US version of the 2023 Corolla non-Hybrid uses 0w-8. This video is the Hybrid.
is valvoline better than Mobil 1 ?
Both are really good, I don't think among the major brands one is going to be by far better than another. There's not a ton of differentiation among well respected oils these days
Do you lose the warranty if you do the oil change by yourself?
He’s RUclipsr
No
does it have a washer ?
Crush washer? Yes
You're gonna get sludge, gell with that oil- why ? I don't know. But I had it
Please don’t use electric tools on the oil pan lmao
