Yes, I buy a several cases of Toyota 0W20 at a time (I have 3 Toyotas) (6qts per case) there's a small amount of 1 qt left over and that goes in to my lube container (catch all container) I use that oil When I machine stuff.......LOLDo you use the same oil as the dealer? Possibly old school, but still a bit leery about switching brands/formulations of oil.
I'm impressed by you guys that can do it with no ramps. Did you use hand or electric tools to put back the skid plate? That was the hardest part for me. Not that it was that hard but I'm not that handy at all.I did my first oil change yesterday at 900 miles with Mobil 1 and the 90915-yzzn1 filter bought at Walmart. The oil was very clean. As mentioned in another post it was easy peezy, I did not use ramps just slid under and did it. Picture attached of filter from factory. Really no tricks everything is right there. On any car that I can avoid Jack stands or ramps I do, fast and safe.
Did the m12-1.25 end up working? Could you use regular yota crush washers with it?I ordered this one, but will wait till the free oil changes are expired to install.

I'll prob do an oil chg this weekend, and yes the standard crush washer should work (it comes with one in the kit) ...... same size thread/bolt.Did the m12-1.25 end up working? Could you use regular yota crush washers with it?
Ramps all the way - hand tools on the plates and drain bolt. I’ll use the torque wrench next time, anyone know the torque specs for the drain bolt (without me looking it up)? Also, get a filter wrench as it makes is easier.

I need to do that..Have you ever tried oil filter magnets open up your used filter after oil and filter change you might be surprised
I have never used ramps in my life. But at 67, it’s getting more difficult to crawl under there and do the job. Last time i did an oil change on my Transit 350, I jacked it up, and it was definately easier, so I figured, what the heck, and bought some ramps from Horrible Frieght to use, moving forward.I'm impressed by you guys that can do it with no ramps.

Nice bonus!I am very fortunate my dealer always gives 10 years or 100.000 miles free oil changes then a discount for parts like air filters etc that you want to do yourself helps keep your warranty and save a little if you want.
I swapped out the drain plug for the magnetic one from Votex last week. I'll let you guys know what I see at 5K miles when I do the next change.That sounds like a good idea.
Does this work on current filter ?I got this years ago from the local Toyota dealership. It’s what their techs use on oil filters. Works on canister and cartridge style filter housing Toyota oil filters.
