Here is a how-to video on how to change the oil on a Lexus CT 200. Changing your oil is a great introduction to regular car maintenance. If you have never changed your oil before, sit back, relax and watch me have a laugh at my wife's over engineered Lexus hybrid.
Please "Like" and "Subscribe" and thanks for watching!
I had one of these several years ago and enjoyed it. I already knew how to change oil, but I just enjoy watching your videos. You always do a great job!
Thank you. 🙏
Thanks a lot for a nice lesson with a steady camera view and a clear description of the process. It's actually exactly what I was looking for!
No problem! Glad I could help. Go and get your hands dirty!
Thanks for your candid help! I know many things, cars ain't one...yet
More ct200h videos encouraged!
EXCELLENT instructive video. I've changed my own oil hundreds of times...but still enjoyed this video! Keep up the great work!! Your videography is SUPERB! Thank you.
Thank you!! 🙏
Your love for Lexus is refreshing!
Thanks, I used to have an XB I just sold it and now I’m looking at getting a 200h. Your channel has it all. Thanks for the content!
Before you know it, you'll be in the market for a Jeep Commander!! I know, that's not going to happen. 🤣😂
hey man thanks for this video! was a great step-by-step from start to finish (clearing the code tip is super helpful) and was even able to pick up ideas like the DIY ramps. thanks for this!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
So glad you linked the oil filter wrench, you’re a life saver!
Happy to help!
You did a great job. I think i'll just drive mine to Lexus because it does seem difficult to me but I really learned a lot.
Thanks buddy I had a hard time finding a good video to work on mine !
So glad I found this video and I’m now going to search your channel for more videos on the ct200h! As someone who was raised with Hondas, Acuras, and Fords, plus one Jeep, I’ve worked on my own vehicles since I was about 19 and was surprised at the difference when I bought my Lexus. I’ve been very annoyed at paying dealership maintenance costs and really wanted to find a good online tutorial so I could start to do my own work again. I may still say to hell with it and trade it in for something I can work on with less aggravation! Thank you for making this video and keeping it available!
No worries! I'm glad it's helping!!
Why go to the dealer to service it when you can get a mechanic to do it
Thanks for the help, helped me preform my FIRST oil change on my first car.
Yay!!!
Buddy you are amazing. Thanks. you saved me at least 90 bucks.
Thank you so much for this video. Doing a first time self oil change now!
Nice! If I can do it, you can do it! Good luck!
Outstanding! Thanks so much for creating this video 🙏🏼 Will highly appreciate creating more for the CT200h 👍🏼🙏🏼 I’m already following and following for my xB 👍🏼 Keep the spirit man !!! 🥇🥇🥇
Hell yeah. Glad you liked it!
My wife has one and this video is going to be extremely useful for when I get my own garage within the next month
Glad to hear that!
I got my ct200h since 2014 and I knows how to do maintenance my car but I'm still enjoy your video which is very nice and clean even though I'm an aircraft mechanic. Greetings from Washington state
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
PERFECT movie
I have the sport version in Pearl White of 2012 now for about 3 years, still loving it 'the looks, the driving, seats, 1:18, ....' Will keep it for many years more.
I also use an OBD2 tuning box and also that gives extra's. Pitty we have no turbo
Detailed helped heaps thanks! Mechanic quoted $600 for service . Did it myself using your guide and saved $540 dollars.
So glad it helped! My channel is about doing it yourself, saving money and enjoying the process! Thanks for watching!
$600 for an oil change? That is insanity!
He probably drives a money pit Mercedes
The best oil-changing video I have ever seen 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Clear and concise 👍.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the video! Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial 👌
Glad you liked it and glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Great video thanks!
Looking to buy one next year as my college car! Will be a big upgrade from my 02 Accord.
Good choice!
Thank you for showing how to change engine oil on Lexus CT200 hybrid. Mercedes have same process and filter as Lexus CT200 . Good video
Thank you. And thanks for watching!
thank you. I am taking over my nephew 2015 CT200h now and will change all the required parts, air, oil, fog lights, etc...
Good luck!
Saved a lot of money with this, thanks man!
Glad I could help!
thank you for sharing. I just got a used CT200 h myself. You’re vid Is very entertaining to watch.. I wish I can do it myself but for safety reason I won’t lol
You can do it!
Got a 2018 model a week ago or so. Man, this car is just perfect in every aspect! My record of gas usage, 3.9L per 100km. Amazing thing.
Wow, i am getting around 4.8lt/100km. However, the stock tyres are 215/45R17. Thinking of downgrading to 205/55 R16
Agree just got this car it's a wonderful peace of machinery
Thanks so much
I learned how to change oil and filter
Great to hear!
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the chuckle with your your "count the cylinders" to determine the number of quarts of oil needed theory. I hope you have figured out the two are not related...at all.
While the oil filter cartridge might not be as convenient, it is less waste going into landfills consistent with this hybrid's "greenness." They can also be incinerated, metal canister filters can't. Many states designate used oil filters as hazardous waste..it is easier to comply with the disposal regulations with cartridge filters. Cartridge filters will only become more and more common.
Oil turning dark in color doesn't mean in and of itself the oil needs to be changed or there is an issue with the engine. Urban legend. More related to heat cycles or soot.
Handy tip: Your oil will drain much faster if you remove the oil filler cap AFTER you remove the drain plug.
Finally, and you know this....get the torque spec for your drain plug and consider torquing to that spec. I know many shops don't, but there is a correct way to do things. Stripping the threads on an oil pan really sucks.
I appreciate the link to the cap wrench.
Good video, just one thing you forgot to lubricate the sealing O ring on the filter cap, usually just a smear of motor oil to prevent it from twisting out of the groove when you tighten the cap, but I am sure this helped a lot of people.
Great point. Someone mentioned that below. I did it off camera. I forgot to show it. 👍
You can buy the oil filter wrench from Toyota dealership for Prius. It will also fit for CT 200h as well
Thank you ! This gives me some confidence to change the oil in my car and save around £120
If I can do it, you can do it!
At first I was feeling some type of way as you brought up all the quirks with the car, as I love my CT, BUT...it does have it's quirks lol. I appreciate the DIY vid on getting this done!
Also, great looking garage floor. Hope to get this done on mine as well. Maybe as soon as my lady gives me a break on all the projects she has on my plate... :/
I can't live without the floor. I had power steering fluid all over it today as I restoring it for our MIata. The fluid wiped right up.
Great video - thank you very much. And, speaking of a pain in the ass - my 2012 CT 200 has these "use once" plastic clips that hold the plastic skid plate in place and the only way to remove them is to essentially break them (which I did) - instead of the much preferred 10mm bolts (also philips-head screws) on yours . Thankfully, tie-wraps worked well to put (and hold) everything back in place, but I was like, WTF?! Thanks again and all the best.
😂 Classic Lexus!! I’m so happy the video helped! Good job.
I love my Lexus Prius....ahem.....CT200. 42 miles per gallon - $15ish dollars to fill up - better for the environment! (P.S. Thanks for changing my oil!)
EssentiallyKelly It’s a great car with a horrible oil change process and lots of blind spots.
True story.
I like my 2013 CT200h.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers My Honda Insight is the same way. You can look behind you and check your mirror 3 times, your still praying every time you switch lanes. The insight has 325K miles. Getting a CT next. The interior oozes 90s japan. Right up my alley. Wish Honda made a car like this.
The battery banks are bad for the environment though 😂😂 trading one evil for another
Great choice on the oil filter cap wrench and on positioning it correctly. It's amazing how so many can't seem to get that right.
The only thing I do different is
1. I don't use any tools to change the o-ring
2. I make sure to oil the o-ring.
Good points. You could damage the o-ring channel if you gauge it with a tool and I did oil the o-ring, I just didn't show it. I'm not 100% sure its necessary.
Very helpful info. Great commentary. The Ford comment was funny. aka Found On the Road Dead. Thanks for the link for the Oil Filter wrench. I think its stupid too how you need this tool and have to get through that plastic cover. Definitely not like my 59 Nash Metropolitan!
Thanks for the video! How long does the battery last?
Thanks!
Thanks so much for doing, this video as I now know how easy it is I doing it myself and save money on next service.. Well done...
my 2012 lexus ct 200 is great had for 3 months great on gas average about 36 miles per gallon and 23 dollar to fill it up today im getting the firl oil change
Thank you!
You're welcome!
great camera work
Thanks for watching.
Thanks good video
THANK YOU!!!
I've had plenty of Fords and never had black oil, just sold a vw with direct injection, oil was always black, we now have a 2018 fsport CT200 , best car we have ever owned
We still love ours! Thanks for watching!
“If your oil is black… you either have a Ford (chuckles)” got me rolling. As owner of both CT200 and Saleen, i know what you talking about 😅
Lol. Than you know what I'm talking about. Lol. Thanks for watching.
Thank u so much!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much
Any time!
Thanks for the great guide! One comment: looks like that those ramps are not helping to get all of the old oil out...
merci for info
vous êtes les bienvenus
Hello,
Thanks for this very good video.
Do you know the process to make off the seatbelt bip ?
Thank you.
No, sorry
You’ll find the same filters on the 2012-2016 Camrys. Those super seal for some reason. And I’ve actually snapped wrenches trying to get it off. Took all the guys in the shop to get that thing off lol. It wasn’t just the one instance either. It’s happened with them all. I recommend anyone to buy a nice steel made removal tool and not the cheap thin aluminum ones.
Yep. Facts. Every time I change the oil on the Lexus I'm shocked by how tightly the filter is on there. Thanks for watching.
You forgot to lube the oil filter gasket! Great video btw 🤙🏻
I did it off camera. Great point, though and thanks for watching!
Just done my oil change. My filter tool to unscrew the filter was different from the one in the video and was poor. Unscrewed it ok but ended up sticking to the filter casing. I left it there. I don't have a fleet of Lexuses so it's not like I'll need the tool for anything else. Win some, lose some.
Next time removal will be that much easier!
Good video! Now I see what my local oil change shop did wrong 🤦🏻♀️
If I can do it, you can do it. 💪
Thank you
Any time!
I Love my CT20000000H
Good for Commute.
I drive it 300 miles a day
Not sure when the change was made but my 2016 CT200h has the oil filter cap facing the oil pan instead of parallel to it. No idea what genius made that design change or why, but it certainly doesn't make changing the filter any easier.
Thank you !!! Respect!!! It's really very clean car :)
I believe oil change schedule is every 10k miles .. at least for my 2015 ct.. hence the very clean oil at 5k.. thanks for the video!
That maybe true, but I’ll never change oil at 10k intervals. Oil is too important to the life of your engine and it’s very inexpensive insurance.
Can you make a video on changing the transmission fluid?
Absolutely!
Extreme Daily Drivers Just smashed the subscribe button!
You are The Man!!! Thank you!!
Your wife has excellent taste in cars !
And men!! Thanks for watching!!
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Agreed! I want to buy one also 💪
I use trip A as my miles since I filled up with gas, and reset it everytime I fill up….then I use trip B for my last time since oil change.
5:15 its not a skid plate.. its a belly pan. For mpg.
You are correct! Thanks for watching.
I like this car .. do you or everybotty recomends this car for a everyday driver car i drive every day 40 miles to my work and 40 to come back home.... and any problems with the battery pack ? Like those hondas or some toyota prius????
We are at 62k miles now and not one issue. It's a Toyota. Do you know what "Toyota" means in Japanese? Bulletproof.
Thanks so much im ab to buy one i liked thanks...
there is a guy on the CT forum that is currently at 580k......... that is five-hundred-and-eighty-thousands miles. 5-8-0-0-0-0.
Thanks, the 2011 model does not have bolts just those plastic tabs and so I unbolted bolts I should not have.
"Maintenance Required" does necessary mean oil change. This car needs oil change every 10'000 miles.
The 5000 Miles warning is for tire rotation and fluids top off.
Do one of these but on the Scion
A Scion with the same 1.8 engine would be the same...
You don't have to wet the gasket, as with a conventional canister filter?
I always do. It helps the filter seal to the block.
Is It The Same Process For The Hybrid!? I Like FORD! "Line"" Haha 👍🏼
Can the CT200H use 0W-16 oil? In the manual, the lowest viscosity rating oil stated is 0W-20 but I see 0W-16 oils labels which says that they are suitable for Hybrids
I wouldn't. There is no benefit. Thanks for watching.
Changing the oil after 5000 miles is very luxurious
You only need to change oil every 10,000 miles or each year. Not every 5,000 miles. Use full synthetic oil 0-20w.
Yeah, this was a 10k change. I misspoke in the video.
Any recommendations that’s a must for the CT, other than the oil change? I am at 80k miles and refuse to spend over $600 at the dealership for “maintenance” and I want to get to know my CT baby!
We are getting close to that. We still have only done oil changes. Brakes need to be replaced and we are having issues with the door lock actuator. More videos on the CT coming soon!
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers is the door lock actuator what actually makes the doors lock automatically when the car shifts to the drive mode? That’s my issue as well!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Being detailed avoids mistakes! Great video!
but the dealership snackies and drinkies!!! and the courtesy UX!!
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers MY CT 200H in Oz is clocking 110,000kms and had a e-safety check (for registration renewal). The mechanic said that for these hybrids, the front brake pads will only likely require replacement at 150,000kms as with his experience with most Prius
I would say do a video how to change the brakes, but it will be years. Still on my first set of brakes and im at 110,000 miles and they still have plenty left.
That is coming very soon! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Do you have idea what’s the measure of the wood ramp??? I like to do one for my cars..
I'll see if I can get you some measurements. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the vid sir. maybe, just maybe cut it in half.
Great video! everyone elses sucked
Arguably the best comment I have ever received. 😂🤣 Thanks for watching!
Great video but I kinda disagree about the bath filter vs the cartridge filter. I just bought a used CT200h and I'm looking forward to its first oil change. My Wrangler JK and Hyundai Genesis sedan both have bath filters too. I like having to replace just the paper element. Less waste and more economical. The Jeep filter is so cheap the last two times I went to the dealer they just gave me the filter for free, no lie. I asked for the filter and the dude at the parts desk just tossed it to me and said no charge. Color me dumbfounded.
The key phrase in this comment is "I'm looking forward to it's first oil change." :) Thanks for watching.
Well i was going to do it myself.....because getting charged $125 is BS!! I need that lifting thing and the tools
Link for everything in the video's description!
What is the name of that tool for the CT? I see two different sizes want to be sure before I purchase.
Motivx MX 2321
What’s that filter cutout thing called?
Just click on the link in the description to order one.
My Lexus actually tells you what does need to be taken care of for maintenance! But it shows it on the sat nav screen.
And of course, thank you for the diy video!! I might use it and spare some bucks changing the oil myself! And also be sure about what kind of oil was put in the engine. I have some trust issues when I can’t see what was changed under the hood lol.
You should add affiliate links for each item used in this process. It would help people see exactly the tools/materials required and you would get a little more $ for your time and effort.
Already done, my friend. It's all in the description box. Thanks for watching!
Hello, is there a big difference between 2015 and 2017 ct200h?
I highly doubt it.
Have you drove the IS250 just to do a comparison? Materials, feel, confort?
Unfortunately, I have not. Thanks for watching!
what are the chances ...you have the same two cars i have; the ct200h and my all time fave PRELUDE! yes my prelude is white too...and im changing my engine oil on the CT...you are the white me. lol!
😂😂😂
There are two different types of oil cap tools at eBay; one is 64,5mm in diameter, other is 79mm. Who to choose?
Get the Motivx MX2321. It's the best.
Great video! Never buying a Ford 🤣🤣🤣
Me neither! Thanks for watching!
My oil filter is too tight. The wrench won’t even loosed it. What could be the problem?
Bicep strength? There is no secret. It needs to be loosened. Crank on it until it comes off. Good luck and thank for watching.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers took a breaker to it. Still didn't work. I looked online and apparently the techs at the dealer overtorque these all the time. I had to take a electric wrench and set it to 250ft-lbs to get it off. lmao
Thanks for the helpful video though!
I knew you would get it. Never had a doubt. Techs do always over tighten it. That's another reason to always do it yourself.
why did you pay $25 for that oil filter tool? I actually like the fact that in the CT200h, you don't throw out the entire metal housing, along with the actual oil filter. Environmentally, that makes sense, and plus the filter itself is cheaper than replacing the entire metal housing.
Because he wanted the get best...
Not sure why you're complaining about the plastic cover and the fact the filter is in a filament... aren't most newer cars like this? I get the headache of the special tool... but it's a one-time buy for under $20.
The short answer is “no”, not all newer cars have this type of oil filter. Thanks for watching!
Oh well, thanks for the slight clarification. I wasn't trying to troll... was just genuinely curious and thought otherwise. Thanks for the video though! Just got one of these and plan on doing the oil changes myself... so this helped a lot!
No worries, dude. Congrats on your purchase!! It’s a great car. We have 47,000 trouble free miles. I’ll be changing out the front brake pads soon and plan on doing a video. Thanks again for watching.
Is the car not supposed to level for this?
It’s supposed to be level, I always check it after I start it and it’s on the ground. I did film that part. If you put in the correct amount, it doesn’t really matter.
Extreme Daily Drivers makes sense, love the Ford comment BTW 😂👍
Lol. I hate Fords.
Does the car need to be level so you can drain all the oil? Not so you can see if there's enough oil in.
@@Droneocean Sorry for the late response, Carmine. No, the car does not have be level. It's actually better off at an angle because the drain bolt on the oil pan is located on the back of the pan so by having the car at an angle you are sure to get all of the oil out of the pan. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
No it does not take a qt per cyl. Lots of V6 and V8 cars take 4qts plus filter. There are also 4 and 6 cyl engines that take 8 to 14 qts. please look up your individual engine capacity.
Thanks Mr. Knowitall. It was a generalization.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers your welcome lol. Its ok. . we all live and learn. I did enjoy the vid. I just felt that if people generalized as such it could lead to a few damaged engines. Keep up the good work.
Tighten till it strips and then back a quarter turn
Nah, I go straight for the impact gun.
