    I'm changing my oil for the first time in my 2010 tundra. Any advice I know I need to jack it up cuz I can't quite get under it and work so I'll need some 3 ton stands I think. Any advice on filter wrench and step by step on what to do.

    Ramps are way better than jack stands for oil

    Just roll it up on there and chalk the back tires and it should be good to go right?

    Good time to check for leaks. If the drive shafts have grease zerks, it's a good time for that too.

    Use silicone on the oil filter housing o-ring. Don't want it to pinch.

    And, ramps. Most will hold the vehicle there. Parking break is enough.

    Ramps
    5 gallon bucket for mess free drain
    Some use a motivx filter drain and wrench I don't and it's a little messy. Careful with oil filter housing depending who did last change it could be verry tight
    Replace filter and O ring on housing. The filter housing is O ring sealed do not over tighten
    Replace drain plug with fumoto valve for future changes
    Refill with 7 qts oil take off ramps to level ground check level add according to level on dipstick

    This is my preferred flavor in 5w-30
