Oil filter wrench, Oil drain pan, Socket wrench set, MotivX ToolsThis is my 2021 TRD Tacoma Sport getting the oil changed. Easy access to everything you need to change the oil. The dipstick seems to have a bad design where it curves inwards and makes it difficult to get a good oil level reading but if you look closely you can tell where the level is. As promised, I will leave the torque specs below as well as a link to the MotivX Tools I used. I am not sponsored by them but I do really like their product. Thanks for watching!
