Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.
- Thread starter Teebo
- Start date
The F133N has superseded the F103N, as someone pointed out my mistake a day or two ago. The F133N drains faster IIRC.
Why do I see picture of fellas changing their oil on ramps? Doesn’t truck need to be flat to drain properly or am I missing a technique that you guys can share bc I d love to make getting clearance possible.

You’re never realistically getting all the old oil out unless you plan to do two oil changes back to back. So using ramps might leave a fraction of a quart more than being perfectly level.
I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it, especially if you’re the kind of guy or gal who is going to cut the OCI down to 5,000 miles or 6 months instead of 10,000 miles or 12 months. If you’re doing that you will essentially always have oil that is nowhere near being over contaminated, or suffering viscosity break down, or additive package degradation. So if a tiny smidge more stays in because you use ramps because that’s easiest but cut the interval in half I think that’s a good trade in the end.
Thanks for all the guidance. I changed mine Saturday and other than spilling about 2 qts of old oil while draining it and then dropping the filter in the spill and splashing it everywhere… everything went great

In my case, the driveway is gently sloped, so backing in and using the ramps makes it basically level.
Oil cooler under filter?
Nice bro thanks for this education
The F133N IS the recommended valve.
I think Techron is good stuff. There are warnings in the owners manual on using fuel additives, but I think those are related to octane boosters for people who use less than high octane fuel. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to check the manual, and then check the Techron bottle. If you are really worried, I would contact Toyota by email and ask them, rather than take someone’s word on a Toyota forum.

Thanks. It's been many years since I changed the oil on any car. Just making sure I'm as prepared as can be.
Those of you draining with F133N... how long does it take to drain? I'm gonna do my first (1,000 mi) oil change here in a few weeks and will collect an oil sample. Just wondering how long I should wait to make sure I can fill the bottle.
Thank you so much for doing this and taking pictures. Your post is what made me sign up to this forum. My dealership is pushing the yearly oil changes (or 16k km), so I'm glad to see its as easy to do as it was on my '02 Sequoia; looks like I'll be doing my own oil changes in between the "free" ones I get from my dealership.
So glad they went back to the cannisters
I assume that you have an additional qt of oil?
If you could, I'd appreciate some feedback, or a picture of how well the MotoivX 2320 filter wrench fits on the 90915-YZZN1. Amazon tells me it won't fit, but it seems a few people here have used that exact wrench and say its a perfect fit
From earlier in this thread - a perfect fit:

Which one did you get? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XTAGHU0?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I used a regular old plier style filter wrench and it worked perfectly fine.
