Some people say oil changes are only necessary every 10000 miles with full synthetic but more often cannot hurt and actually only be beneficial for the life of the engine especially when putting a lot of miles under dusty conditions.

I like to lower the spare at least once a year to lubricate the cable (or on newer Tacomas, the chain).

Thought I was the only one who did this haha. Yup, lower it about twice a year, hose off dirt/debris, inflate the tire, and lube the cable with cable lube.

Amazing diy maintenance tutorial! Definitely very useful for people who's new to diy maintenance like me.

FYI OEM oil filters can be had for $5 or less from the dealer... Just because it's oem doesn't mean it's "more expensive" same can be said for a lot of service items. Also "snake oil in a can" is a waste unless you let your car sit with e10. No need for "cleaners" in the fuel system unless you take short trips and not get the engine hot

I like this generation Tacoma plenty of accessories to customize.nice easy maintenance.

I love this lady and she had taught me so much in one video i am now a full time subscriber to her channel in look forward to more educational videos

Man, I'm learning all kinds if cool stuff on your channel. Really awesome content 👍🏻

Great how to vid. Really thought out and detailed! I've seen a few of your other videos and appreciate all the work you put in. Subbed!

I appreciate your time and efforts making these videos!

Chloe, young lady you have it going on! Love all the videos and mods from all your videos. A lot of the mods i have put on my '22 Tacoma. Keep up the good work!

Always go OEM. Always. I even go oem on my wheel air caps. That's how ocd I am.

Good info. Glad you’re showing how to maintain the trucks

Thank you for making these videos. I don't have a garage or a place to work on my vehicles but I am still learning. One day when I have my own place I'll be able to do a lot more of it myself thanks to your helpful tutorials!

I bought O'Reilly Conventional oil , when I'm finished changing the oil, I poured the used oil in the O'Reilly oil bottle and recycle at O'Reilly auto part store.

Always doing your thing CK Big Ups to your family the whole crew GBU All 🙏 ❤

Great job keeping your truck looking and working good,plus trucks are easy to work on Toyota makes it easy

Thanks Chloe for the video! Be careful jacking up the back end with jack on rear end housing as they can break with all of the pressure from the jack.

when I was using a "wet" air filter like K&N on my FJ, I would also clean the mass air flow sensor.

Tire FROG MAKES A TOOL THAT SLIDES UN THE TIRE AND PUSH THE HANDLE DOWN AND IT RAISES THE TIRE UP INTO PLACE . it really helps.

Thanks for another great and informative video. I love Chevron products. My Tacoma only gets Chevron gas. Getting the fuel system cleaner has been challenging here in Canada.

Just a heads up for those that shop around for best prices. Oil filters and cabin air filters can be found on alternate websites for about 1/4 of the price. If you can afford to support small business, please do but shipping alone was $25 for 3 oil filters and a single cabin air filter. Insane prices if you ask me.

Correct me if I am wrong, I have been led to understand that you should do the fuel system cleaning in the tank before you do the oil chance because it tends to make your oil dirty. That way your oil stays cleaner. Just my two cents.

Very informative good video Chloe I love it thanks for sharing this info about maintenance I appreciate it very much keep up the awesome content 😎 I love learning something new about trucks 🛻

Toyota technicians say fuel Cleaner is a waste of money. And yes the technician does got his own channel on KZread.

3:03, Good job young lady but I have a suggestion for you. Get yourself a 6-point Flank Drive socket for best grip and to prevent damage to the bolts or lug nuts. Snap-on Flank Drive or even Flank Drive rip-offs are better than a 12-point socket.

I personally use BG Platinum 44K fuel system cleaner. Napa as I know is only chain store to carry it. For good reason. Its about $40 a can but the best fuel system cleaner on the market. I chose quality over quantity. Use every oil change as well. Including, BG MOA to improve fuel efficiency & improve oil life & longevity from breakdown over time. I also use BG RF-7 to improve viscosity & seal piston rings to prevent blowby & improve compression, being I have a 21yr old ford ranger with 245k that doesn't skip a beat. I like to use BG EPR "engine performance restoration" once a year to clean entire internal engine of sludge, varnish & carbon deposits! Proof in the puddin lol 🤙🏻

Toyota said 1st oil change for my 2022 Tacoma was at 7,000 miles. Came with the mandatory prepaid oil changes for 3 years. They keep putting excuses to do it so I just do it myself now

Thank you for the parts list and part numbers.

Hey, I just bought a set of quick jacks, a little pricey but if you rotate your tires regularly they will save you so much time compared to moving the jack and jack stands. Plus taking the weight off to break or torque the tires is easy.

Didn't know Chevron includes a bit of techron at the pump - great video Chloe!

Awesome video, I have a Trd off road with the skid plate it came with but with the Trd pro skid plate is it easier to do oil changes because of that removable plate?

Thanks for the video!! 1 question, after you pour the fuel system cleaner, do you run the truck until almost empty? Or do you go fill it up until full?

Looks like you used one jack stand. Probably should use two. Floor jacks is really more for just lifting a vehicle. But could be used as a secondary protection or putting one of the wheels underneath once removed as a secondary protection. While working on your second wheel.

The prices all these dealers charged for simple things like changing out air filter or cabin filter is just ridiculous. I'd been ripped off before and I'd told myself I will never ever go to the dealers for maintenance ever again. I always told my kids, even you're not a mechanic the 2 most important things you should know how to do is 1/ oil change and 2/ brake job. Just these 2 things alone can save you so much money in the long run and it is not that difficult to do.

Agreed. I just started doing my own oil changes and aside from the saved money, it's a very empowering feeling knowing I am capable of doing this on my own.

I am looking forward to getting a Tacoma and modifying the suspension. Heard lots of good stuff on the Dobinsons. Not going to be doing a lot of off roading. Want to keep it close to stock as I will be more on pavement. Which set would you consider if you were to go with the Dobinsons MRR 3 way? Thank you for your time!

Here i am about to order a grease gun for my 2020 TRD PRO thank you for the video!

Thanks Chloe, great content.

That woman is one of a kind!!

Nice videos. One food for thought when you are rotating those big heavy tires. Don’t use the your back or set them on your legs. Great for getting injured. Instead get yourself a big pry bar and put it under the tire and use the long bar with the leverage to do the work. Save your back.

I have been using fuel system cleaners for such a long time now. Including motorsports. Never had any fuel system issues other than old gas in my classic Corvette over winter storage. Are you loyal to Techron or do you recommend any other cleaners? I typically buy whatever is on sale.

So do the TPMS sensors stay in the same setting to which tire they were assigned first or does it automatically reprogram?

Have you ever though about installing a fumoto drain valve to make getting the oil out really easy and without mess?

great video, I pretty do the same to my 4runner, but if you use a good top tier fuel "exxon, shell, chevron, etc... you can skip the fuel additive.

Great video. Well done girl!!

Ugh!!’ I love those wheels you got on!!..I can’t wait to get a set of set for my 4runner!.. just saving up. Those the need lock wheels? And do you like them??

More vids to come buddy 👍💯

Love to hear your opinion on the Dobinsons MRR 2 way suspension for the 3rd gen tacoma.

Some people recomend for the oil change to drive the vehicle a short time before draining the oil because I guess hot oil flows better and the oil picks up more of all the wastes.? Also some people, who go by what the dipstick shows recomend to fill oil till the full mark, drive it a bit to have the oil go everywhere (oil filter) then recheck the dipstick and refill accordingly. Finally I was suprised to see the silver tacoma gone and a white one in it's place.? Anyway great video.!

I’m like you I do my own oil changes I never ever went for the free Toyota oil changes I don’t trust anyone but myself

Chloe do you change the Spark plugs yourself? Would love to see a video on how to do that.

You should get the hood strut raisers. I did so easy to open/close the heavy hood.

Excellent video, thank you.

The only oil filter for the 3.5L that compares with toyota's OEM is WIX, so nothing wrong there. However Havoline's detergents is subpar to OEM which is contracted 0W20 Mobil 1 synth, so I'd quit using that, only only oil I'd go with over OEM is Royal Purple dexos, not that XPR stuff in 0W20. I also average around 26k/yr and in cold climates so I care a lot more about engine/trans/diff condition than suspension, tires and brakes.

Thank you for all your videos! Very informative and straight to the point. I have used the last free oil change / maintenance from Toyota and will be doing maintenance on my own. On a side note do you add any protection to your door panels to protect from door scuffs? I didn’t realize how easily they get scuffed by shoes.

Yes. Zero rubbing, confirmed all over the internet w/ no lift. But if ga$ milage (every bit helps) in this Brandon economy is an issue, stick w/ stock size (granted 265/75r16 is only one bump up) and a more A/T aggressive look/design than the stock "all seasons". Chloe's HEAVY KO2's - E rated - virtually no need for that weight on tacomas - they are a drag on what the truck's engine, etc. was designed for. There are better choices in terms of weight.

Where can you safely put the jack to lift one side of the truck? Anywhere the frame is flat? Is it strong enough? My last vehicle was unibody where most of the structure was NOT an okay place to put a jack...

Hey, what are you thoughts on bug deflectors? You think they actually work?

Chloe, looks like you have a nice floor coat in your garage... what kind of floor coating do you have?

FWIW, Chevron is a great detergent fuel to keep your fuel system clean. A+ on including it as part of the DIY. If you want a fuel for the most horsepower you want Shell. Many tuners I respect say they see better dyno results with Shell than Chevron.

Hi 👋, nice wheels Pro tip: 10:09 instead of letting the entire weight of the truck onto the wheels, then torque. When you’re lowering ur truck with the jack, right when the treads of the tire contact the floor (tires cant spin). Lock the jack, and torque at that moment..the weight of the truck is supported by the jack, and isn’t affecting the load on the wheels. So u get an even torque. Lower jack after torquing
