    (See 3.4L 5VZ 1st Gen oil change for 1st Gen Tacomas)

    The oil filter for the 2.7 second gen is: 90915-YZZG1 (the following part numbers are equivalent:
    90915-YZZG1, 08922-02011, 90915-YZZD1, 90915-YZZD1-DS)

    Oil filter for the 4.0 second gen is: 90915-YZZD3

    Make sure you have all you need for your Oil Change:

    Oil filter
    Oil filter wrench
    New oil plug gasket (available from dealer)
    5.5 quarts of oil
    5/16" ID 5ft long tube
    14mm socket wrench
    Oil pan
    Oil funnel

    oilchange1_b324701fc2ff67c73b783b015aa76ed4db49cce2.jpg
    Remove the plug at the bottom of the filter holder:
    oilchange6_4e1f7a16c9c8b0449edcab7559c7fbc692893742.jpg
    Connect a 5/16" 5 foot long tube to the filter drain, and run it to your Oil catch pan. Alternatively, you can try a method @Plain Jane Taco posted about here:

    "I just took a plastic cup (a slim one), put a couple of holes in the rim and attached a small bungee cord to it. When your done carefully lift it out and dump it. Throw the cup away or clean it out and use it next time." 2 pics below:

    IMG_5986_zpsm1ckwh2i_eb25be8fdbc649760590429f13a63e936fd4efca.jpg


    Using a filter wrench, remove the filter:

    oilchange10_71228baabb50184cf25950a359512d0c335504a7.jpg
    Clean the filter mount to get the dirty oil that sleft in it, out.:
    oilchange11_75b60f1360617875e9a6dfc84bcd65d113a79f1c.jpg
    Put the filter holder plug back on. Lube the new filter seal with a light film of oil:
    oilchange12_3c3e2ca13d12dde207731a3e285b215a5a35002c.jpg
    Install the new filter. Hand tight, then 1/4 turn:
    oilchange2_f17dbea4dc58517b98c8aaaddfcd5761c773c06d.jpg
    Get a 14mm socket, and find the Oil drain plug under the truck:
    oilchange7_26de6a87bc2466762f891ae4b72aad75b85ae362.jpg
    After breaking it loose, remove it and let the oil drain out:
    oilchange8_a40b51b8cc4d56ef4a7aaa17bd3c29f1cef3f177.jpg
    After the Oil drains out, with a new gasket on the drain plug, reinstall the plug in the Oil pan and torque to 30 lb-ft:
    oilchange7_26de6a87bc2466762f891ae4b72aad75b85ae362.jpg
    Then, Fill with 5.5 Quarts of your favorite oil:
    oilchange3_6c32563760e0e753d05168f5d7eddbc3d1cc5f27.jpg
    Run the engine for a couple of mins. and check the level:
    oilchange4_637de8c673e3359e5200cb6a1c46688fa2c788c4.jpg
    Dont forget to recycle your used motor oil.
    Many Auto parts store will accept your used motor oil for recycling. Check your phone book.

    Crap.. that's how the oil comes out of that resevior... I used the 'ol soak it up with a rag technique.. (no wise a*s remarks please...)..
    Also just picked up a craftsman oil filter adapter that adapts to various sized filters..

    A few bolts are different.
    agreed. I have just been using a 16oz water bottle, but still end up spilling it some times, going to get some tubing for the next time for sure! Bump for Sticky or for other people.

    Yep! If it helps, set the ratchet before turning the bolt, just to be safe. :)

    Man, I sure wish my oil filter was that easy to get to! ( I have the 3.4) I like that little shield that is around the base of the filter.:thumbsup:

    I used to do my own oil changes since I was in high school (1994) until I got to own my 2004 Tacoma V6. I did 1 oil change and then I gave up. It's too uncomfortable. Looks like your pictures are for a 4-cylinder Tacoma and it might be easier than changing the oil on a V6.
