2019-2021 Toyota Corolla | Oil & Filter Change | Maintenance Light Reset

So it is that time again to change the oil and oil filters for my family’s cars. Since, my Daughter wants to learn how to do it, we are making a video to share on the key points of an Oil & Oil Filter change for her 2021 Toyota Corolla. However, most everything should be similar with all years within 2019-2023. Check your manual for specifics to be sure. This video is only intended as quick reference for the basics of this maintenance procedure and is catered specifically to a 2021 Toyota Corolla SE. The parts and tools we used are directly below.

Supplies:
Oil Filter:
- Many can be used, but we used the original Manufacturer version, Toyota part #90915-YZZN1
Oil:
- Use a Full Synthetic Oil.
- 5 quarts are required, but make sure you check your dipstick to ensure proper fill levels. First clean the dipstick, then recheck. The oil should be visible between the 2 round detents on the end of the dipstick.
- 0W16 is preferred, but you can use 0W20 or 5W30 as backups types.
Tools:
- Dust cover on underside of Engine: #2 Phillips Screwdriver
- Engine Drain Plug: 14mm Socket
- Filter Strap Wrench: There are many options here, but the key is that no matter what you use. You are aiming for a snug fit, not wrenching it down crazy tight. That may crush the filter. My Filter strap was too big, so I used some Channel locks. I have left links below for examples of tools that can be used for this part of the maintenance.
