    I believe this is the best DIY video I have ever seen!
    My favorite part is no editing...
    We all goof up a bit....
    I wish I could change my tires every time I rotate my Oil. I just loved that!!!
    And my child put rocks in my pump!!
    YOU got a new sub, and please keep them coming real!!
    As I am saying goodbye for now, I still have a smile on my face!!
    Thank you!

    Don't top off the brake fluid!
    The fluid level will naturally drop as the pads wear down.
    If you top it off then the next time you change the pads and push those caliper pistons back, that reservoir will overflow and everything under that reservoir will be covered in brake fluid which eats paint!

    Great video and very informative. The oil smell and visible oil on the valve covers, could be related to a leaking oil cooler. Its made of plastic, 🙄 and sits in the valley between the heads. They are prone to cracking, so an inspection of it may be worthwhile. Also, Baxter makes a screw-on oil filter adapter, (metal,) that replaces the plastic 🙄 cap and gets rid of the filter cartridge. What's great about it is that it keeps oil at the top of the engine to help lubricate the valves during start-up, thus eliminating dry starts, which can prematurely wear out the camshaft lobes and rockers. Its easy to install and may prolong the life of your engine. Again, thanks for making a great video.

    Excellent video, good tips especially the door hinges. My dad taught me to remove the fill plug first before the drain plug. If for any reason the fill plug is gacked, you sure don’t want to find out after the fluid is drained

    Great video! Just one bit of advice though, I know everyone’s got opinions but I just wanta help you out. Mobile 1 unfortunately is not certified for Mopar engines. If you check the certifications on the bottles you’ll notice it’s not certified Chrysler MS-6395. Penzoil is. So I recommend going with directly Mopar or Penzoil

    Keep the little squirt tops from the differential oil bottles to use to fill the transfer case.
    Can also use it in combination with a small hose to fill the manual transmission.

  • @darthvollmer

    Before pulling that oil filter out, lay some shop towel around the underside, and cover that alternator; also do that gasket/filter stuff over a trash can, not your engine bay.

    Instead of using the pour to clean oil, fill with oil and run the vehicle for 5 minutes, drain and refill. Does it cost some money? Yes, but it cleans everything out entirely.
