Thank you for this !! Very detailed and well explained. Once I get through my free oil change services, I'll definitely be referring back to this to do my own!

Awesome glad you found it helpful!

Would highly recommend staying with the Toyota oil. Any full synthetic meets the standards there's does but Toyotas oil is specifically formulated for their engines with particular additive packages. The motor oil geek on youtube has some great videos on this. Just food for thought.

If you read the back of Toyota oil bottle you’ll see it’s manufactured by Exxon Mobil….it’s likely mobil1. Toyota doesn’t manufacture oil or filters they just rebrand them. I’m not telling anyone to not use Toyota branded oil or filters but you can buy other brands without concern

Back a few decades ago my local Toyota dealer used Valvoline engine oil pumped from big drums. It was my understanding that Toyota oil back then was rebranded Valvoline. Same for gear oil.

Just did my first oil change, a lot easier than expected. @ 1563miles... RP 0w20, N1 Filter, Fumoto drain plug... The filter drain is millimeters off the frame, no mess if slowly removing filter.

Awesome to hear! Just went through my free changes and it's all garage work from here. Maybe I'll have them do the trans fluid at 30k but we'll see haha. Very easy job on this truck though. One if the best layouts on a modern vehicle I've seen. Gotta love Toyota.

For those who think the lawnmower-sized N1 filter is a joke, the larger 90915-YZZF1 fits. The V6 filter used on the Tundra and Sequoia also fits, 90915-10010, and is just slightly smaller than the F1.

Hell yeah, do you have any idea if the o ring to thread distance is the same? If it's not oil will just go around the filter and not get filtered as it won't have proper engagement of the threads.

The bottom of the N1 and the F1 are identical. O-ring is the same diameter. I thought I took a picture, but I didn't. With the -10010 the bottom flange is different, with oval holes instead of round. O-ring is the same spacing as the other three.
