What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I have no idea...It's an oil change. Open drain plug, open filler, remove filter. Replace drain plug, replace filter, refill with oil. Check dipstick. Done.

 

undo the bolt on the oil pan. Drain it. Put it back in. Fill with oil.

Pretty straight forward.

 

1. Put cardboard under truck and lay down.
2. Use filter wrench to remove filter, discard.
3. 14mm socket to drain plug, drain oil into container.
4. Install filter, reinstall plug, fill with 5w30.
5. Drive another 5000 miles and repeat.

 

Yeah but I gotta replace the filter every time right and isn't there like a crush washer to replace every time or am I just making these things up in my head?

 

Wow that's about the best response I could ask for. Thanks dude!

Edit: this \/ is about the best response because it includes beer! Haha

 

Yes and yes

 

You forgot the last beer but I'll let it slide.

 

I'm disappointed in you! No new filter?! You totally should work at the dealership!

 

You also want to wash your hands somewhere in there.

 

I've never replaced a washer when doing an oil change...

 

Now this is how you do an oil change lol! I think this man deserves a beer!

 

Its a fibre washer, you can use a copper one as well. Its not included with canister filters (common with euro style drop in kits). It is in the parts diagram, but even dealers exclude it often. If you want to do it right, then you should use it.

I bought a 10 pack with washers a while ago from here for around $50.

Throw me one of those beers, I'm tired just reading about an oil change.

Mine have always been aluminum.

 

Same difference

 

Mine has never leaked so I'll go on reusing it whether I'm supposed to or not. I don't even remember what it's made out of.

 

Still, its a 15 cent washer, its designed to be there, why not just use it. Im just OCD enough that i would be thinking about it every day if i knew it wasnt there, drip or no drip.

 

If it ain't broke, you haven't done enough mods!

 

but............but....but...........

 

I didn't change it when I changed tranny fluid either. It's pretty overkill, here watch these...
