Out of all the autos I've owned over the years, my current Taco is the easiest to change oil on. It was already easy but adding the Fumoto made it crazy easy...

Having the filter on top made it super convenient to remove and much less mess than the ones under:

Once the drain is complete, close the Fumoto valve and installed the new filter:

And then add your favorite oil and you're set to go for another 5k-10k miles before the next oil change...

Last step is reset your auto's maintenance light... O0

Sure these full synthetic oils cost more but it also last 10k miles so it's not a bad deal overall.

Gone are the rip-off eras of the 1980s and 90s where they recommend oil change every 3k miles or 3 months. Then it went to the current standard of 5k miles.

10k works best for me... O0

I said, it's the easiest auto to do oil change that I've ever own because it sits high enough so no jack or ramps needed:




And the filler sits high enough that I don't even need to use a cone or spout:

That's it, simple as that...

When done, I pour the old oil into the new oil's empty containers and recycle it... O0





Take the Taco for a quick spin and wait a few minutes then check the oil level...

between the two dots is perfect:

This happens when you "don't get out much" (per the neutral PH members) and LIE that your mommy's car is your car:

My full synthetic oil change cost less than Walmart's "$52.88" and I put a more reputable oil brand in my Taco's engine than their in house SuperTech brand...

I added a tube to the nipple and just used a dirty glove to catch the oil so have never changed a less messy oil filter than the one my Taco  O0:
