Oil filter housing replacement
Looked up the usual "first things to do" on Google and reddit before buying my Tacoma, and one of the big things was replacing the plastic oil filter housing. I got a metal one when I bought the truck 2 months ago, was waiting until the oil was due for change, which was yesterday & today.
While taking off the plastic housing, it cracked in 3 places, and one of the cracks seeping oil. What I did NOT buy, was the nice oil filter housing removal tool that everyone gets, leading to me accidentally breaking the old housing, and it being stuck for 12 hours. I went on Amazon last night, bought the 64mm oil filter removal tool, got it today and it slid on like a glove and got unstuck instantaneously.
So, no more plastic housing, verified no leaks. On to the next upgrade!
So far I have done:
-filter housing upgrade to metal
-new android auto stereo (love it){wanted for onx}
-air dam removal
Up next may be front bumper/winch combo
Thank you all for posting your problems and solutions. The information is beyond helpful, and just by using the search tool on this reddit, I am finding TONS of valuable info.
Thanks again!
