I don't think so. When I reset mine is just went to 9999. Didn't notice any other options.
Seems like we might just have to keep it in mind as I plan on changing every 5000 as well. I changed at 1000 so will change at 6000.
Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

Great pictures and thank you for sharing—wish I took the time to do the same with my first oil change. What ramps are those? Might have to invest in a pair for the LC. Thx.
Rhino Ramp Max
Probably overkill, but they seem solid. For some reason Amazon wouldn't deliver to me in NY, but no issue from Autozone.
Extremely wise advice...especially for those who might be thinking about "saving" money, and as an end result, completely destroying their engine or significantly reducing their engine's life.
Simply not worth the risk(s), as the mechanic demonstrates and definitively talks about throughout the video.
Thanks for sharing. You may have saved someone who comes across this Forum Post a lot of money and trouble...
Where exactly on the engine is this filter located? Is it accessed from underneath or from the top?

Remove the front skid plate and you can miss it..........
There is a good YouTube video on using old oil by The Motor Oil Geek, Lake Speed Jr.

If anyone is interested in a magnetic drain plug that is good quality and a direct replacement. It uses the stock crush washer. Also filter mag makes a oil filter magnet that fits the small oil filter. Many of the Amazon or online drain plugs are aluminum and not very durable.
This is information only, not intended to start a debate on magnetic drain plugs and filter magnets. Some people use the oil drain valve, some people use the stock drain plug, some people use a magnetic drain plug. This is personal preference. There is a lot of cheap China replicas out there and makes it difficult to find quality aftermarket parts.

personally, I wouldn't. the risk of leaving a small amount of debris in the residual oil is likely far lower than introducing something with the flush....whatever that is. I'm not commenting on any product in particular. Maybe there's a spectacular flushing product out there.....I don't know. Just in general I would consider that unnecessary, and possibly even harmful if you happen to grab the wrong product.

I like replacing the drain plug with a valve, which make this impossible for me (posted about the valve somewhere above in this thread I think), but the idea is a good one. In the past with my bikes, I've just put a magnet on the oil filter to do this job. something like this would work. I like the idea of just capturing that stuff in the filter as well.If anyone is interested in a magnetic drain plug that is good quality and a direct replacement. It uses the stock crush washer.

Yea… throw those worry beads out the window.
My understanding is that techron is basically a detergent additive, which if you are using premium at top brand gas stations you are already running a fairly high detergent gasoline. Also I believe this is a dual injector engine (I think I heard that) where the second injector is basically spraying (cleaning) the the intake. I use techron in my 1983 car that runs regular gas, but that's the only one.
There would be no benefit to using it in a new engine.
First time swapping 0W20. Man that stuff is like water. I would advise anyone who does their own oil to have a high walled pan/bucket or a funnel or something. This stuff hit the drain pan and ricocheted onto my wheel and lower control arm at first. Not fun. Thankfully I had stop towels down there with me.
Other than that pretty easy. Stock skid plate is kind of annoying for how useless it is. Might upgrade that next time I am under there.

I was really tempted to try this. I guess since I have skid plates it’s probably fine. Just have anxiety about messing it up and then leaking oil all over. I guess I could keep the original in the truck in case shit ever hits the fan.
They are pretty sturdy, and hidden up behind skid plates. I don’t think you will mess it up. Directions for installation come with the Fumoto valves. Just mess With it before you install it, and you will easily figure out how it works. I just put one on my soon to be X GF’s new 2024 Four Runner (which has skid plates), when the engine oil was cold, without spilling more than a few ounces of oil. Then I had her take it for a drive to warm up the oil, and then return, so I could show her how to change her own oil, without the need for a torque wrench, every single time.
