for anyone prepping to do this, I'd suggest having a larger 1/2" breaker bar and a 24 mm socket for the oil filter housing because those things can be over torqued by the dealership, at least mine was. this was the solution I'd found on tacoma world, if anyone runs into a similar thing

Same , I’m in love with my 23 TRD OR

Great video, I'm 64 years old, and I only rotated tires on one car out of the Many cars and trucks I have had over my lifetime. What I found out is yes it made them wear the same, but it wore out all of them at the same time, so I never rotate tires anymore, why? Because I don't want to have to buy but 2 tires at the same time rather than all 4, It's a lot cheaper to buy 2 tires over 4 or even 5. I don't believe you get more life out of your tires by rotating, but you do get more life out of the set that way because the back usually wears out faster if you have rear-wheel drive and spin your tires when you take off or the front if you have front-wheel drive. And I never included my spare tire in the rotation, which honestly is probably a good idea, especially if they all match and they are all new. I'm going to try it your way on my new Tacoma and see what happens, I don't need a new spare tire, just something to get me to the tire shop if something happens on the road. I do carry a can of fix a flat and a mini air compressor with me everywhere I go, I even carry a tire fix it kit I bought from Amazon in all my cars and trucks so if i can find the whole I can just fix it on the road. I do a lot of backpacking and white water canoeing. Right now I have a dodge ram 2500 Toyota Tacoma and a Honda CRV which doesn't even come with a spare tire at all it just the can to fix a flat lol. I'm going to try it your way this time and rotate my spare into the mix until I get my spare worn down to almost time to buy a new one and see what happens, keep up the good work.

I’ve got a question for you Jason. My dealership uses Mobile 1 full synthetic oil when they change the oil and filter. If Havoline is better oil, why do they use Mobile 1 ? I get free oil and filter changes for as long as I own my truck, (which is about 15-20 years or 250K to 300K miles). Toyota says to change the oil and filter every 10K miles but I still change it every 5K miles, so I buy the Mobile 1 full synthetic oil and filter and crush washer, so Toyota charges me $40 every time I’m paying for it. My 23 TRD Off Road is about a year old with 8,500 miles. We’re going to MT this weekend for vacation, so I’m sure after returning home it’ll have 10K miles on it.

@JasonExplainsThings perhaps I'm an old school guy. Service my oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles witch ever comes first. I've been doing that since 1996 regardless of whether I'm driving V4, V6, or V8 engine or turbo engine as well. Also, transmission service drain and fill every 15,000 miles, never transmission flush. My oldest vehicle I own is a 2006 Toyota Sequoia 4WD 3 inch lift on 35 inches currently has over 300.000 miles. Also, 2013 Lexus GS F Sport and 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO. All get the same type of service as mentioned.

Does anyone know where to get the Havoline Pro RS oil? I can’t find it anywhere!

Yeah it’s impossible these days. I’m using Havoline Pro-DS instead.

I’d love to do this myself seriously but I take it to the Toyota dealership when it is time to change the oil. Therefore, I just let them do ieverything every 5,000 miles.

What style are those wheels ?

They are TRD cast aluminum bronze wheels. OEM wheel.

The oil wouldn't shoot out if you had the vent open. Just a little advice from experience
