Also want some heat in the engine too as the oil will drain much more thoroughly. About 90°F on oil temp. Crack fliter too before. Oh and if you have airmatic rear, put it on a lift or 4 jack stands.

Safety note: it’s very risky to rely on a jack to hold up any vehicle. I strongly recommend using a pair of jack stands, or some other fixed prop. I have a pair of 8”x12” sections of wooden beam that I always put under my frame rails. #safetythird 😉

It’s odd that the recommended service interval on my CLS550 2014 is 60K before you change the engine air filter. That’s such an ambiguous interval. If you live in a dusty environment you should do it much more frequently. As another commenter said, that filter you pulled wasn’t dirty at all. For the cost of these things, I’d have run a vacuum over that one, cleaned the air box out and called it good. What engine does your 2012 have? Have you had any oil leaks?

Suggestion: Use 99% Isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle to clean the filter case and housing both inside and outside. It's great at removing grease and oil and evaporates quickly. Also, if you can find it, get some DC4 o-ring lubricant. It is soluble in water and oil but protects the o-ring from damage from the threads.

Good video. Thanks for sharing this. A few thoughts. First, although you didn't have to do it this time, you suggested using a screwdriver to scrape the washer / gasket from the oil pan if it sticks after removing the oil drain plug. That's probably an OK way to do it, but you risk scratching the area where the washer / gasket seats to the oil pan, which could result in a leak, particularly if you do this repeatedly over many oil changes. If you use a screwdriver to remove the washer / gasket, wrap the blade in a cloth first so you don't scratch the oil pan when removing the old washer / gasket. Second, you didn't mention, or remove, any rear tire chocks after removing the jack stands and jack. Again, probably not a big deal, but for added safety, you should chock the rear wheels to prevent the car from rolling backwards when the front is elevated. Third...Amazon-brand motor oil? Yes, it's Dexos approved, API certified and white labeled by Highline Warren, but...for not much more (at BJ's or Costco when on sale) you can get Mobil One and get the highest standard of performance. Once again, probably not a huge difference, but I always feel better knowing I've got fresh Mobil One in the crankcase.

Very funny how on the 3rd bottle of oil you held it the " wrong " way. The reason to hold it that way is that it allows a little air back into the bottle so that it doesn't come out in "spurts". One other piece of advice is to take a paper towel and wipe down the filter housing mounting surface and inside that area. It's not doing any harm by not doing it but it's just that little bit "cleaner" and less chance that a drip of oil appears and you think you have a ;leak. A good reason to replace gaskets is that over time they break down and become brittle or deteriorate So I would pull that filter housing drain plug out once every few oil changes and swap in a new gasket. People think the plastic filter housing needs to be replaced with an aluminum one but that is not really necessary as the plastic ones will last the life of the vehicle. The problems arise if the filter housing is over- tightened ( I believe the torque required is actually around 17 foot pounds which is not very much at al)l. Some Quick Lube places will overtighten the housing so that when the next oil change happens the housing is seized on and requires so much torque to remove that it cracks the housing ( it will also crack an aluminum housing, don't kid yourself ) and you have a leak and need a new housing. Even some Toyota mechanics have used air tools or just over tighten these and you need access to new filter housing or your vehicle isn't going anywhere for a while. On the Highlander the oil goes into the fill hole quite quickly but on some vehicles if you pour it in that fast it will overflow and cover the outside if the engine so watch around the bottom of the funnel for oil seeping up. p.s. it is also a good idea to place a piece of cardboard or paper under the engine after you have put in the oil, checked the level ( a little more than halfway between the lower and upper marks, oil expands as it heats up )/ run the engine for a while ( a couple minutes ) and look for drops of oil after 5 or 10 minutes.
