I changed it 5K all highway miles

Now this is smart! That’s some farm boy thinking! I made it way too complicated 😂

@@NickP4XWilderness and I don’t even own a farm!

You can see leaks from the side also and I regularly check my oil level afterwards. No leaks

You’re right it is 22-29, idk where I got 20. I might have just remembered incorrectly or got it mixed up with another low torque spec 😅

@@NickP4XWilderness It happens. Ive seen others that say 20 also. Thanks for the video

Yeah and that’s why I’ll never buy a ford. Ford before 2003/4 sure, but everything since then has been a nightmare.

That’s why I started. It also costs me an average of $60 compared to over $100

True, I just prefer OEM filters or at least purchasing the best 5K mile filter. For my next one I purchased the NAPA gold filter. That’s why I do mine also. Saves money, it’s a clean job, things are put back on right, and they’re not putting the wrong oil in. I don’t trust these shops anymore hiring kids to do these jobs. These “technicians” aren’t mechanics. Another good tip is to buy those 5 qt in three packs then you really get a deal. I bought three for $40 a piece. So with the roll over of extra oil I’m averaging about $51 an oil change.

O yeah I’m not letting that sit much longer. I’ll be getting it taken care of before fall. Especially now that I’m in Alaska

Thank you! 🐓

I agree. I was thinking about buying one of these, but no thanks now.

I’ll have to look into it!

I mean, it’s not that horrible compared to most trucks. No truck is going to be easy.

@@NickP4XWilderness ... True. I'm sure the non-PRO4X Frontier is probably easier with no skid plates.

I’ll check it out!

Are you being facetious? Or is there really an easier way?

Yeah I do every 5K miles and I guess you’re right I can just leave it off. I don’t mind a little bit of a mess it’s when it gets all over, I just prefer it as clean as possible 😂

I’ve thought the same but it takes me 20 minutes to change the oil and costs me $15 for the filter and $40 for the oil. The last time I went to get a full synthetic oil change they charged me $80 and the time before that was at a dealer and it was $120. Plus, they don’t even top fluids off anymore. So for me it gives me the piece of mind knowing it’s done right, I’ve filled up my fluids and it’s good to go.

@@NickP4XWilderness wow, you must live in a very expensive place. I just got mine done at a dealership recently with a tire rotation and it was less than $50.

For me, I just don't trust them. Will they put on a new crush washer? Will they get oil all over the place? Will they torque the bolts back on properly? Will they use the correct oil? All these things would haunt me and there's too many oil change disaster stories out there to ignore.

@@RKDriver they will, they even sent me a video showing the truck up on the lift and the condition of the brakes, etc. you can barely buy the oil and filter for what it costs for them to do it, then you have to dispose of the oil.

I DO NOT TRUST ANY BODY to work on my equipment. If I can do it... I will. If you can... you should. You get a chance to LOOK at the old oil and check for metal. You get a chance to LOOK all around your engine and take a bunch of pictures if you want to, and look at them later. DO NOT TRUST ANY BODY to work on your equipment. Always verify.

So you drop the whole skid plate? It really doesn’t look too difficult. That’s the one issue keeping me from buying one of these trucks.

Appreciate the valuable information! For now I’ll pin your comment for people to read it. For my first change I attempted it through the inspection cover because I figured it’d be faster and easier…it was neither 😂

You’re missing out on a good vehicle if that’s what’s holding you up! The skid is only a few bolts

@@NickP4XWilderness Nick, this is a great video! I have a 2022 SV and it may be somewhat different than the PRO4X but removal of the second skid plate (with the oil filter inspection window) was not a great option. I would have had to remove the lower valance bumper in order to get at all the necessary bolts required to remove the skid plate. Instead I used your funnel advice. I had a plastic funnel that I could squeeze, pass it through the window, and then open it up under the drip spout. The trick, as I learned in some forums, is to slowly unscrew the filter and let some of the oil drain into the funnel before taking it completely off. Once off, quickly tip the filter upright and pass it out the side of the plate....not through the window. Thanks again for your video. Until I watched this, I was ready to try the water bottle trick. Instead I used a funnel with no modifications and had zero mess!

Thank you! If you feel like jacking your car up I would definitely recommend taking the whole plate off so you don’t have to ruin a funnel 😂

How are you liking yours?

@@NickP4XWilderness it’s great!

@@davedonlick2146love hearing it! Hope you’ll continue to enjoy the content!
