Just did my first oil change on my '24 Tacoma last week, was trying to get it done at 1000, but ended up closer to 1500, still better than the manufacturer suggestion of 10,000 miles... sheesh.

Yep, such bullsh*t from them - the motivations for that are strange. Turbo engine especially as the Car Care Nut/s channel will tell you.

The oil that comes with these new engines is break in oil and formulated so that all components wear in a predetermined pattern. By prematurely changing the fluids, you pretty much will glaze all of the mating metals. Read your manuals and do the research before you make your own maintenance plan.

When doing oil change on any of my vehicles, I always leave the oil fill cap on to prevent exactly your situation. Once it gets flowing, then get up and take oil fill cap off.👍🏻 Nice Tacoma.

Brother this is too good! 💪 I LOVE IT. Beautiful sport in the BEST color!

The legend grows and I am there for it...

Honestly I think your oil change filter is one of the better ones out there because your “mistakes” will help everyone learn. I think you did great.

I think you're doing the right thing changing at 1000. Thanks for the video.

Got a good laugh, thanks for sharing the spill! Love your truck, the BEST color.

You're doing the right thing, in between 500 to 1k miles it's a good timing 👌.

so much for the “less mess drain pan” :-)

THAT was a drain - Niagara Falls! Beautiful sight seeing spin on filters used again on Tacomas (judicious cardboard use). Good luck w/ the rest of the issues popping up for the new design (and better luck than the Tundra! - wow - what dumpster fire they are having)

You were right about the oil draining being hilarious, I've been there too. Good video, very enjoyable.

Interesting. Haven't seen an oil change done on the new 24 tacoma yet.

I did my first change a few weeks ago at about 750 miles lol. I was actually considering trying to make a video like this because there was nothing on KZread at the time. Kudos for actually pulling it off. Almost the same exact thing happened to me with the mess! I even left my cap and dipstick on to try and give myself a chance at not making a mess, but nope, it still shot outta there like a stream of hot piss 😂. Next time I’ll have a funnel ready to catch it!

FU**ing OIl everywhere! That was a surprising oil deluge. I wonder if keeping the oil cover on would make the stream tamer and more manageable. Thank you for the insight and sharing.

Yep. I found leaving the oil cap on in the engine compartment of my current Tacoma to allow for a slower drain. I open it when the flow calms down. Don't feel bad BrokenMachine. I only know that because I made the same mistake! Waiting on my 24 should be any day now. Best of luck.

Thanks for the video. I have my stuff ready to go for my 5000 oil change. The filter I have is really small but is the same one you used. That oil came out with some force! I may put some paper towels in my pan to reduce splash.

What oil you gonna use ?

You’re the 1st one to do an oil change video on the new Tacoma, thanks! You learn stuff the first couple times you change it. Please go to Harbor Freight & buy a 3/8 torque wrench so you can use the correct 14mm socket. A 1/2 torque wrench is more for torquing wheel lug nuts. That part hurt my ocd more than the oil mess. 😂

@@BrokenMachine85 The drain plug should only need 30 foot/lbs. That’s what I set for my 21 Tacoma. My 3/8 Icon torque wrench goes from 20-100 ft/lbs. and the cheap 3/8 Pittsburg one goes 5-80ft/lbs. either will work. I just checked, 40Nm = 29.5 ft/lbs. Thanks again for doing the video though.

happy to see they are still using a spin on filter.

@@user-tb7rn1il3q Yeah I own a 2021 SR with the 2.7. Its a work horse of a motor. But still easy to work on. I do electrical work so its abused daily; but I do my own oil changes! The spin on filter is half the reason why I went with the 2TRFE over 2GRFKS

Good stuff!! Just get you an anti splash pad for your drain pan.

Yah… the same happened to me with this oil drain… just splashing around everywhere! Note… for your next change… get oil absorbing pads & place them everywhere!

Scrab 2-by lumber can work as wheel chocks. Also, if you don’t have jack stands, shove a stack of lumber under there in case one of those black plastic ramps collapses

Is the oil drain plug higher than the bottom of the pan ?

Beautiful truck. How much did you pay for it?

use a short piece 1.5 " pvc pipe shorter that actual measurement will help alot.

Well.said!

That mess you made, is how all my tacoma oil changes go and somehow it gets more messy after each oil change for me

What is the torque spec of the skid plate bolts?

Thanks!

First Oil change video for a 24 Tacoma yes

3rd gen does the same exact thing, shoots out like cannon. Fucking nightmare.

I have never "Primed" an oil filter before by filling it up. Only put oil on the gasket. Is this something new?

@BrokenMachine85

Certainly not a new concept. I was taught to prime filters back in 2011 for my Triumph motorcycles. Also, you’re certainly not going to ruin your engine if you don’t prime a filter. Plenty of people with high mileage engines have never primed a filter. It’s just a technique to go above and beyond with ensuring 100% proper lubrication at start up after an oil/filter change.

4:50 that oil pan that drain sit a bit higher than the lower part of the pan. Looks like still hold about 1.5qtz of used oil in. Could be wrong I don’t know. Others that that did a great job.

You did the correct thing by changing the oil/filter, this flushes out most of the break in that's floating around. 600-1K miles is when to do it. Toyota says 10k miles ? they are on drugs.. Never go beyond 5k miles, period. engine longevity is a Important thing, vehicles and parts cost to damn much money. Turbo engines run hotter so changing oil every 4k -5k is best.

Hi this is Ivy from Muslogy. I LOVE your KZread videos so much! They are impressive. Recently we are working on the products for 2024 Tacoma like armrest cover, console organizer, door handle storage box. Wondering if there is an opportunity to collaborate with you to make product review😊

I’d do the first change almost immediately. Definitely before 50 miles.

Less Mess Drain Pan.................lol

Yea, that’s the main advantage of the fourth gen Tacoma in that it’s primarily designed and geared towards people that have never owned a truck before and are transitioning from a car to a truck that runs, drives, and interior/exterior performs like A CAR!👍🏻

nice DIY video. I recommend a Fumoto oil drain valve. A clean drip free oil change.
