Mother Of All Whore Threads Non-VIP Edition v.1

Just found out the Tacoma doesn’t have a normal spin on oil filter. So I have to buy some tool kit ($70ish for a nice one, one time fee) to be able to perform the oil change.

Dealer oil change is $100 unless you can get a coupon.

To be fair. Toyota has been using that style for a long time. You can use some large adjustable pliers. And pretty much any oil change in Canada is over $100. Covid screwed everyone.

Spent the day at the lake.

I’m sure I researched this when I first got the truck but was just reminded of it since I will be doing an oil change in the next few weeks.

The “kit” I’ve see are just all overkill. I can just buy the filter housing wrench for $35 for a nice one.


Do you all use a magnetic oil drain plug?

Also, I believe the new Tacoma has gone to the regular spin off oil filter.
