4th gen Oil Change

3/4-16 thread. There's so many equivalent filters I'm not even getting into which one to pick. The YZZN1 is the one they're going to give you at the dealer.

 

everything was showing 3/4-16 UNF but,then it was said that the 90915-10009 and 90915-YZZN1 is M20x1.5mm per fitment..

 

90915-10009 is a part number that is on vehicles coming off the assembly line. 90915-YZZN1 is the correct replacement

 

Is it just the camera angle or is the drain plug really up high on the oil pan? To me it looks like there 2-3 inches of pan below the oil drain plug.

 

One of these funnels makes the job really clean when adding oil. Screws into filler cap port, has gasket:

Tip for all - Get yourself a plastic cup to put under the oil filter housing while its draining. I cut one to size so I can cram it in there while it's draining and walk away. This results in little to no mess from the oil filter housing.

 

I designed this gizmo and 3D printed it off:



It uses two 3/8" neodymium magnets. Ask me in October how well it works. When I do it, I think I'll put a piece of plastic on the crossmember first.

Looks like that is just the picture and not the file. My printer is on and waiting! Thank you!

 

Slick! Apparently Toyota needs you on their engineering team as this should almost be a factory attachment

There is one caveat about this. The spin on filter. Not that my gen 3 is difficult I just prefer the spin ons. But hate the idea to invest $300 a after market adapter

 

Thank you and printed!!

 

Turbocharged engines burn more oil than naturally aspirated engines. I had to top mine off a few times and I haven't reached 5,000 miles yet. I had a 3.5L Ford Ecoboost work truck and it burned more than 1 quart between oil changes and truck was also brand new.

 

Some of the kiddos here don’t know who, or what that is…

 

Everyone knows that's Vincent Vega.

 

looks like the general consesus is mobil is closest OEM / the same thing? or is there another preferred type thats used? trying to make sure I dont skimp out and get the correct additives.. ty!

 

Anyone else hate the screws they use for the skid plates, I damn near cross-threaded one. Next time I'll put some never seize on them, they looked like they had a little deformation that "helps" keep them from backing out?

 

Some owners have been using these for quick pan removal.
