Default Re: DIY: Oil Change w/ pics. & Reset Maintenance Required Light

Did my oil last night along with engine and cabin air filters. was easy...except for that stupid 65-67mm wrench. a paper towel did not work, i hacksawed the 67mm outer ring off, then the 65 seemed too tight, i couldn't get it on the filter housing without banging it with a rubber mallet a few times...then it stuck on there good....how much for the good tool to remove the housing? i'll pay.


oh, and when i removed my oil filter drain plug, it was on so tight that the whole housing started spinning off...and that is from the dealer....

and i'm missing one of the wood screws that holds the front of the skidplate on...nice wood screws toyota!

but considering that i just bought it on wednesday, it is already in a lot better shape than when i found it!
