I'd lose my job advising people on the benefits of heavier oils because I spent an extra hour reading on here.

Clock wise is the opposite when doing things on the ground, isn’t it 😂?. Thinking back on the filter I had also thought it was strange it was tightening in the direction it did. I will just focus on righty righty from now on instead of clock directions.

Yes, it did feel like it stopped. Also, yes, it is officially stopped. I am a happy camper!

Bitog Update. Amazon Basics torque wrench came in. I inspected my oil plug and did wipe a little bit of oil (very small). So I set my new wrench to 30 and got to torquing away. In the picture, the left is the new torque wrench and to my surprise it needs to be pointed to the left to tighten...

I did not remove the old washer. It was on my bolt and I screwed it back in. If I get the torque wrench I should just be able to program it to the specs and see where my bolt is at, correct? Should I loosen the bolt then retorque?

Toyota maintenance wrench and also while driving it said "schedule oil change soon". It's just weird to me since I didn't recall this happening at 5K, and also my Toyota app was telling me to schedule an oil change under Vehicle Health Alert.

Hello, I have a 2023 Highlander and completed my first DIY oil change and I was hoping to get some advice. I changed my oil at 15K, and Toyota is set up to have 10K intervals and I did my dealer freebie at 10k. A few days after my DIY change my oil maintenance light came on. This caused me to...
