DIY Oil change tip

Simple and easy. Score the bottom of a 32 oz powerade bottle off. The threads work perfectly for the oil fill port on the engine. It threads right on very securely. Today was a windy day and this sure made life a bit easier. It also holds the 5 quart jug upside down to get every drop out. Hope this helps someone who doesn't have 3 hands to hold the funnel and neatly pour the oil!

 

Good idea. The worse thing about changing the oil in the summer is the gnat problem. Need a third hand for swatting. With the modified bottle supporting the oil container, I just found my third hand.

 

Neat observation. Does this only work on the 2TR-FE or other Tacoma engines as well?

 

I would think all of them. I always use a "homemade" funnel and today I just happened to have a powerade bottle. Then I noticed it threaded right in to the threads on the the engine.

 

Mobil 1 works too... V6, but probably works for 2.7 too.
