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

I just finished my first oil change on 2007 Tundra CrewMax and I wanted to say that it is the most different oil change I have done since my '69' Volkswagen with an internal filter. With the help from mhadden-great job and all of you it was really not that bad. The next one will be much easier. I did want to say one thing about adding a tube or hose to the plastic piece for draining the filter cannister. I used a piece of 5/8' heater hose. It was not the tightest fit but it worked without an oil mess. So if you have a 2 ft. piece in your garage it will work. Also I purchased the oil cup at Advance Auto - 65mm/14 flutes. Worked perfect. Be careful like others have said about putting the big O ring in the correct O ring slot. I used 5W20 Mobil 1 and the engine is even smoother running after the oil change. Love my Tundra.
