Great video and the little one shouting for his daddy was priceless 🙏

Thanks a lot. Gonna do this in the misses 2013 now, brilliant car. Also followed your ledperf purchase for amazing results.

Great overview. Thanks. But I wonder why the dipstick and the filler lid wasn't loosened before emptying out the oil. Also jacking it up on an angle that helps the oil not completely empty out of the bottom tray.

Fantastic, I did it easily and I saved a lot of money !

Thank you for helping us ! One minor thing: if you put gear control on the " H " position, engine will be freed from ECU drive control, and you can start engine for an undefined amount of time. NIce job !!!

Exactly! And this is very practical for checking the oil level after renewing your motor oil… Start the engine for 10 second without accelerating, stop it, wait 5 minutes and check the oil level.

So I'm watching your video and thinking, this is great, finally someone is showing how to do this, and what oil filter wrench is best. Then you pan up and I see my car across the road!!! 🤣 😂

Really helpful - thanks !!

Good video, but a few minor points. That universal oil filter wrench is for removing spin on filters, there is a specific Toyota/Lexus oil filter tool for these, it's a cup wrench. That plastic pipe thing that comes with the new filter is for the models that have a metal canister oil filter with a bolt in the bottom, the plastic thing punches into the old filter and allows the filter to drain out before you fully remove it. Also don't put the filter element on the gravelly ground!

Thanks for the info. I knew about the special tool, but I prefer to show how to do these jobs with the tools the average Joe has at home rather than special tools. And yes, I dropped the ball by putting the filter on the ground. Thanks for the info about the other little piece.

Did you ever took that retaining clip on the oil filter housing (or whatever it is) out before unscrewing the cap? I will do my second oil change myself on this car some of these days and I'm wondering... I didn't remove it the previous oil change, but I see some do.

Hello! How do you reset the sevice light on this type of car?

Nice job! How about a brakes job? I have to change front & rear rotors and pads and could use some tips. Ordered TRW parts and a L/R hand piston press, since I understand the rotation direction differs in the rear calipers. Now the rotors are unevenly worn out (inside less contact with pads, much rust) and a grinding noise is there. The rear pads seem to be sticking. Have to do a thorough cleaning and greasing of the sliding bolts. Just bought the car (TS 2014) at 82.500 km and want to offer it a chance to start a new life with us 😊. Changed oil with Toyota 0w20 AFE, filters, and purchased new spark plugs. (Denso SC20HR11 are no longer available, found a Toyota note in the Denso catalogue saying they've been replaced by SC16HR11 since 2017 so I got these). Only need an articulated thin wall 14mm spark plug socket. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

The drain plug is at the back so if anything, lifting it with the jack will help it drain better. For filling it and getting the right level it should be level though.

Apparently the leading cause of battery failure is them overheating because this filter gets blocked. I collect my car on sat and will be trying to do this myself.

Hi pal, random question. When you press the brake pedal do you feel any vibration at all? Mine vibrates a little bit like abs would in a normal car. I put it down to it being the engine braking of the hybrid, but now I’m starting to doubt it, I’ve only had it a week.
