First oil change on my 2023 Sport

Well it sprayed out of the oil pan onto the floor. Skid plate sucks but I managed and I cant read the damn long ass dip stick with new oil on it.

Other then that I did my first oil change at 1500 miles on my new truck.

 

nice did you see any metal shavings?

 

why’d you do that? Did your dealer specifically tell you that? My dealer said bring mine back in at 5k miles for tire rotation, fluid top off(if needed) and an inspection and back in at 10k miles for first oil change.

 

I looked a little in the filter and didn't see anything.

 

oh no here we go again, you can do as you as the manual says or get it done early, it wont hurt to get it done early maybe your wallet but thats it .

 

Found like you I needed a bucket to catch oil instead of the normal catch pan. I blew out everywhere the first time. Lesson learned.

 

nice , i heard it doesnt get fully broken in after after 20k

 

I've done many of oil changes on Tacoma's. The 2nd gen makes a big mess as well. Changed the oil in my '21 today and despite my best measures still got oil on the floor draining the oil...

 

If anything was wrong it should be covered under warranty anyways.

 

Never had a drop on the ground or garage floor changing oil on mine.

 

Are you trying to incite a riot?

 

Take a bright light and shine it into the pan. You’ll see the shavings. Did mine at 200 miles and when the sunlight hit the pan you can see the glitters.

 

The real reason why I run a fumoto valve: I can control the stream so that it doesn't ricochet like the piss after last call at the dive bar.




Nice and neat, and the wife doesn't complain about the seat.

 

Kind of like staring at a fire hose waiting for someone to turn on the hydrant.

 

Dam straight, I am...

 

Thinking of getting one.

 

once i brake it loose i use my finger and unscrew it and let it fall into the catch bucket and get it out when i am funneling it into old bleach bottles.

If you get one with a nipple you can attach a tube to drain into a jug as well as control the flow rate.

It does stick out further than standard plug but a skid plate protects the Fumoto plug.

 

Quite humble as well.
