Default Re: DIY: Oil Change w/ pics.

Many thanks, great write up.

Did it tonight at 1300 miles with Castrol GTX (dino). Did it to a relatively hot motor and those first couple quarts came out so fast they shot right off my drain pan (same as pictured) and onto the tire lol.

TRD 2wd's do have the skid plate. Wasn't too bad really, but haven't put the skid back on yet.

One question: I noticed a bit of "goop" in a few places. If you've ever used WD-40 on adhesive and you get those little balls of jelly, that's what they looked like. It was mostly on the threads for the filter housing. Anyone else? Assembly lube? Wrong place for the question?

Cleaned them off, but it did make me curious...

Thanks
