Changing oil filter on 01 Taco

Taking off the skids is a good idea, but I generally just put a,"blanket", of paper towels under the filter to catch most of the oil, then once in awhile I`ll
take the skids off and use Castrol Super Clean/Pressure wash on them.

 

Thanks, I will try that as I usually have the tires pointing straight.

 

yep thats how I do it too if its hot i spill if not I dont

 

use a punch and hammer to "ventilate" the old filter lol it makes for a nice solid stream of oil and you can pick where it drains from .... also they make filters that have drains on the bottom and you re-use the filter....spin the housing off, wash the filter element...replace and spin housing back on....they are like $150 but its the last one you ever have to buy (for that truck) i think the one company is called tru-filter
