- A how to video for changing the engine oil on a 2021, 2022, 2023 F150 5.0L V8.
- Requires 7.75 qts of 5W30 oil
- Note the change from 5W20 to 5W30 for 2021!
- Same filter FL500S as previous years
- Note the change from plastic oil pan and plastic plug back to steel for 2021.
If you're wondering, I like and use the Motorcraft Synthetic Blend oil, but that's just me. You can buy it right at Walmart if you are in the US and if you are in Canada, (until the border opens again), I've had great success ordering from rockauto.com. They ship to Canada, fast and cheap.
Valid for all trim levels of 2021, 2022, 2023 F-150, XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum.
* Please make sure to take appropriate safety precautions if lifting your truck to change the oil. Use jack stands, wheel chocks, safety glasses, gloves, etc.* - Авто та транспорт
Great job, just got a 2022 F150 with 4wd and 5.0. I’ve changed my own oil in trucks and cars for over 50 years but it is great to have a reference for the first time. I’m glad you said 7 and 3/4 quarts several times. It helps an old man remember 😅
Same here buddy but I'm only 30 years into it. 😂
Despite making the video and changing the oil many, many times, I still have it written down and pinned to the wall in the garage because I can never remember! 🤣
Thanks!! Getting ready to do the first one on mine and it’s great to know what to expect.
Awesome! Glad I could help! Good luck :-)
I noticed you were laying under your truck jacked up with no safety stands. This was like watching someone clean a loaded gun! This is the #1 killer of amateur home mechanics. Jack fails or slips, truck falls and smashes you. I only mention this so know body else climbs under a vehicle held up by only jacks with no safety stands. NEVER CLIMB UNDER A VEHICLE HELD UP ONLY BY JACKS! NEVER!
Agreed! I didn’t in this case because the truck is high enough that if the jack failed I can still fit underneath, just didn’t have enough room to work.
But great point: ALWAYS support your vehicle with safety stands when working underneath it if you have it jacked up.
Thanks for pointing it out.
I was thinking the same thing...It was hard to watch.
Agree. Hard to watch. Use jack stands!
Agree, use jack stand 😏
Or lose some weight lol
great video, Thanks!!
Came here to see if I was gonna have to deal with the stupid plastic drain plug. Glad they went back to basics. Thank you sir 🤙
Me too, so much better!
Don't know if this varies between build plants or date of production, but my 2021 F150 5.0 had a 15mm drain plug, not the 16mm as mentioned in the video.. Just my $0.02 for this video. Thanks for taking time to share the oil change with us.
Me too, 2022 5.0
@@jackeely54 good to know bc I’m getting ready to change mine today.
Same here 15 mill
Same here 2023 5.0, 15 mm. Kind of annoying I had to crawl back out from under to find the right socket
@@jameslauth5220I throw the whole socket set under with me so I know I have it but you have to pick it out by feel.
Good video. Love the flags ! 😎👍👍
Thank you! Have quite a collection now!
The oil filter drain is in the front and rear (or at least it is on my 2019 f150 5.0) so that it shouldn’t hit the shield beneath the truck. Look above the shield next oil change and you should see a drain tube identical to the one you see up front. This is for reasons in your case when the truck is jacked up or at a down hill angle, it can drain out the rear also. There is a large plastic tray underneath the oil filter that drains the oil out the front or rear depending on the angle the truck is sitting while changing the oil.
Awesome! I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the tip. Can't believe I've never noticed that before. I'm about to do my second oil change on it, so will be great timing.
Good video-----=== I always take the filter off first so if I drop it it lands in an empty catch pan with less mess!
Never thought of that but good idea! I always figured if I drained the oil pan first there'd be less oil coming out from the filter when I took it off. But have dropped the filter enough times maybe its worth trying something different!
Thank you brother! I got 5k miles on mine I’m about to do it 😳
No problem!! I’m at 16,000km (10,000miles), about to do my second.
Cool!! Oil not hitting the bar and spilling everywhere like the before
Indeed! Seemed like a big design oversight before. Much better now.
What filter did you use? I’m about to order the oil and do the oil change on my 2021 f150 for the first time later this week. Thank you for the content.
Hi, I've always just used the Ford Motorcraft filters. You can get them at the dealer, Amazon, RockAuto, or if you're in the US, Walmart usually stocks them as well at a very reasonable price. The 5.0L uses the Motorcraft FL500S filter. And if you've had previous 5.0L engines, note that as of 2021, you now need to use 5W30. Good luck!
Thanks
I like your truck
Thank you!
Good video and nice to see the oil pan changed! Does you 5.0 have the felt plate underneath the transmission? Mine was missing from the factory.
Thanks! No, mine doesn't have the felt plate. My previous did, but not this one. Figured they had just changed the design. Was it supposed to be on the 5.0?
@@michaeltouw8908 Mine has the felt plate. 2022 Lariat
The nice thing about a truck is you can just drive up on a couple of 2x10 scraps and have enough clearance to get under to change the oil and filter.
Sure makes it a whole lot easier than my mustang!
@@michaeltouw8908 Agreed - I also have an 18 GT. I have race ramps but I use them like jackstands because they probably won’t clear the front spoiler. One jack on each side and then I just slip the ramps in (backwards) and lower the car on them. Interesting they went back to a steel oil pan - I just bought a bunch of replacement plastic plugs figuring I’d be using them in both the F150 and Mustang. I also put in jacking rails so I don’t mess up the pinch welds with the jacks.
Thanks for the video on the 5L. Only one thing. Have you tried to use the dip stick. There are multiple bends in the tube that the stick is to smeared to read. Is there a trick to using the dip stick?
I'm approaching 60,000 miles/100,000 km, and yes, have used the dipstick multiple times. Agreed, it is hard to read. Two tricks I've found:
1) wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel and repeat, it becomes SLIGHTLY less smeared the second time.
2) if you twist it a bit and look at it at the right angle you can see (if I recall gr. 10 science correctly) a "meniscus" of oil and you can see the top edge of the oil line where the curve touches the dip stick again.
Dip stick could definitely use some improvement though!
What rim and tire are you running? They look great
Hi, I put 20x9 wheels on it. I just got them from Canadian Tire here in Canada, and 275/60R20 BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires. They are a 33" tire in this size. I wanted something a little bigger, but wasn't ready for a lift or level kit yet. I like the all black look and the little more aggressive tire. They have been great in the snow, on the highway (have a 60 mile one way highway commute), and have taken them quite far off road several times and they have been a great balance between all of those uses.
Tires: www.americantrucks.com/bf-goodrich-all-terrain-ta-ko2amf.html
Wheels: www.canadiantire.ca/en/wheels/pdp/trail-boss-rebel-alloy-wheel-satin-black-1412224p.1412229.html
Just an observation to be aware of. I had a oil filter o ring come off the filter and stick to the engine block. If you don’t notice it and put new filter on it will leak once engine pressure builds up.
Great advice! Always check your old filter when it comes off to make sure the o-ring is there, or if you can see the filter housing, doesn't hurt to check that too to make sure it's clean and that there is no old o-ring still there.
How is your 5.0 holding up? Any new updates? I have one on order, but have been hearing mixed review on the new 5.0 updates. Would be good to hear it from an actual owner like you!
Hey! I’ve had my 2021 5.0L for 18 months and have 55,000km/34,000miles already and (knock on wood) it has been trouble free. My 2018 burned some oil, this one does not. The engine has run smoothly and reliably. The only issue I’ve had is that the tailgate had to be adjusted once because it was getting stuck and not releasing and it’s now starting to do the same thing again. But other than that I would still highly recommend the truck and would buy another one myself. It’s driven daily on highways and occasionally off road and has made it from the east coast to the prairies. Still love it.
I had to take my 2021 to the dealer as the doors were all caddy wonked. They adjusted them but the driver side doesn't seem to line up right where it latches. I'm sure it will give me problems in the future. 😂
@@michaeltouw8908 have the tailgate issue too with my 22 - it happens periodically but I have an easy solution. Just push on the upper driver’s side corner as you push the button. I think the problem is the rubber bumper at the top is a tad too thick putting too much tension on the latch so it can’t release.
@@scottyV1000 thanks, I’ll give that a try. And if that seems to solve it maybe I’ll try adjusting the rubber bumper a bit to see if it permanently fixes it.
Water-oil does not run up hill! Your garage is higher than your driveway. The back of the truck is lower than the front because of that and it causes the oil to come towards the back on that small skidplate. If you use your stands on the front and the jack to lift the back. The oil will come through where it’s supposed to come and your truck won’t crush you if the jack fails. Also when you take the oil plug you should take the filter off as well and let everything drip as long as you can, flush with a bit of fresh oil and place everything back then refill. This gets rid of all the shavings and dirty oil. Just my two cents. I sent your video as a guide to a friend for his new truck. Thank you for sharing this. 👍🏼
Have you noticed any oil level changes, like if oil was missing or anything like that?
This was the first oil change at 3000mi/5000km and there appeared to be NO oil consumption. After adding the new oil, I poured the used oil into the containers and it completely filled all of them (ie/ 7.75qt).
I had a 2018 with the 5.0 and it was using a quart every 1200-1800mi (2000-3000km). So far it appears as if Ford has fixed the oil consumption issue on the 5.0!
The problem was the length of the dipstick. The 5.0 didn't burn oil. Resolved by ford.
Nice video!
Where did you buy your motorcraft oil? I'm having a hard time finding in Canada.
Amazon wanted $156.
Thanks
Before Covid, just went across the border to Walmart, but now I order from rockauto.com. Cheap prices and actually very reasonable shipping to Canada.
@@michaeltouw8908 I thought you might say that haha... I tried ordering my oil from rockauto and they would not ship to my area, very strange. Bought many things from them including my filters. Thanks for reply
@@unforgiven7 that’s odd! I’ve ordered from them a number of times now and they’ve shipped to me in Ontario no problem. I’ll have to try again, fingers crossed
@@michaeltouw8908 Why do you not buy the 5 quart container along with 2 addtional 1 quart containers? Wouldn't that be much cheaper as buying it all in individual quarts?
Wish I could get one of those oil pans! I’m stuck with my plastic one on my 2019 5.0. The customer out cry must have stuck.
For some reason, my Dad seems to like his, but I much prefer the metal oil pan and plug!
besides the oil consumption issues, its what kept me from buying an F150 V8 for the last 4 years, now I'm reconsidering..
@@rockkstah2550 I'm at 6000 miles / 10,000km and I did the first oil change at 3000 miles. No oil burned during that time and I just checked again yesterday and the oil was right at the "full" mark on the dipstick. Don't want to jinx myself, but seems that they have it fixed! My 2018 F150 V8 burned almost a quart every 1000 miles. This seems like a brand new engine compared to that.
@@michaeltouw8908 thanks for the heads up I might be driving a new 2021 F-150 V8 before this year is over.
What kind of rims and tire wheel setup do u have?
I have BF Goodrich KO2’s and run them year round (am in Ontario and have several months of snow and they work great). Rims are 20” from Canadian Tire (a jack of all trades retailer in Canada). These are my second set of KO2 tires and would highly recommend.
Oil is 5. 30. Is it synthetic blend or all synthetic thanks
I believe the manual just calls for regular oil. I’ve always used the Ford Motorcraft Sythetic Blend. It’s inexpensive at Walmart (in the US anyway) or RockAuto and if you do some research on performance/quality testing of the oil it performs very highly.
Was your drain plug somewhat resistant coming out and going in?
No, didn’t seem to be? Was snug but came out easily with wrench or socket.
Did ford get rid of that yellow plastic drain plug on the 2021 f150? The one they have on 2015 to 2020 models?
Yes! It’s now back to a steel plug that you remove with a wrench or socket. Reminds me of the one on my 2006 Mustang. Guess it’s personal preference, I like the steel plug much better, yet my Dad prefers the yellow plastic one on his 2017.
@@michaeltouw8908 thank the lord!!! I hated that plastic plug on my 2018 f150. I got a 2021 f150 now and haven't looked at what it has yet
Depends on which engine is in the truck
@@dcb805 I bought a new 2021 5.0 v8 and it's got metal plug now
How is the 5.0 doing? Why didn't you get the 3.5 Eco? Wyoming guy thanks
We road tripped along the Oregon Trail from Independence, MO (well starting in Ontario) to Oregon last summer, Wyoming was my favourite state!
Reason for 5.0 was purely emotional, no real logic. I enjoy the sound and the V8 (which I realize is likely a dying breed). My parents have a 2017 3.5 EB and they get similar mileage, so went with the 5.0. Have owned a 2016 2.7 and had no issues with it either, but have always enjoyed the Coyote.
As for how it's doing, I'm approaching 60,000 miles/100,000km and, knock on wood, it's been bulletproof and very reliable.
Those headlights with the led amber running all the way down to fog lights👍🏾👍🏾
I know! Looks awesome when it’s just the running lights on wrapping all around from the top down the side and into the fog lights.
Is that a option with the led amber corners or does it change to white when you turn on headlights
@@franciscoalonzo559 not sure exactly what you mean but the big “C” shaped LED light is white. There are a couple small accent amber lights that stay amber.
@@michaeltouw8908
Ohh I thought the c part was amber
@@franciscoalonzo559 Nope, definitely a nice bright white, along with the LED headlights. For me, a big improvement over the traditional halogen bulbs from my last F150
Hows the transmission and overall driveability compared to your 2018?
Overall driveability is quite similar, a little tighter and more solid maybe. Little quieter. I had issues with my 2018 transmission clunking on occasion and making other noises. 55,000 miles (90,000km) later this one does not seem to have that issue.
@@michaeltouw8908 Good to hear, looking to make the switch from my 2019 5.0. Transmission skips 2nd and 4th and I'm not a fan. I've been told the 21+ doesn't due that.
@@JokerSRT well, don’t switch based just on that. Depending which driving mode I’m in (ie/ eco, sport, normal, etc), the 21 sometimes does that too. In sport mode it seems to hit them all, but I’ve noticed some modes it does skip occasionally. Maybe see if you could test drive one first
Any problems with your truck? I’d like one but nothing wrong with my 15 model. Just worried about buying a problem
Knock on wood, no. No problems. I’ve had it for just about a year now and 25,000 miles. It’s been trouble free. Drive it to 120 miles per day to and from work, off road on crown land, from the Great Lakes to the prairies and it has been excellent. I had transmission noises and oil consumption on my 2018 but not a hint of anything on this one. I’d recommend without reservation.
Traded my 15 5.0 FX4 king ranch for a 21 5.0 fx4 sport 2 months ago. No regrets. The 5.0 10speed in sport mode is a blast, and averages 3mpg better than my 15 did
Safer to use jack stands so won't get crushed if jack fails
Agreed, and I have made that comment in the notes section. Thanks for the reminder!
will the fl500s fit a 22 f150 5.0 as well?
Yes, it will! Same filter, you're good to go.
5w-40 oil for the win.
Where I'm confused, if you look up for specs is says 8.8 qts, but other places say 7¾ or 7.7.
Which is it?
For the 5.0, my manual said 7.75 qts!
Does this not void warranty?
No, not at all. Why would it? Just keep a record of your work and receipts. There’s no requirement that you have to have the dealer do all your work.
2022 F150 5.0 was a 15mm socket. Everything else was the same including the oil drip out the back.
To be clear, the only reason why the oil came out in the wrong place when removing the oil filter was because you had the truck lifted at the wrong angle?
But it was nice to see the used oil come out of the pan straight into your pan.
Curious, is there an override for the V4 deactivation?
Likely yes. I imagine if the truck is sitting flat on the ground or lifted on a hoist, it should likely all come out the intended spot beneath the oil filter. Was meant to be a note to the home mechanic who has lifted it only in one spot enough to get underneath.
No override for the V4, nor is there any indication when it kicks on (i.e/ no light on the dash or anything). I saw one video on youtube with an aftermarket exhaust where they claimed they could tell in the exhaust note when it kicked on.
I expect there is/may be an override through FORScan similar to the auto start/stop, but haven't investigated it enough yet.
@@michaeltouw8908 Thank you Michael.
I’ve seen a video showing a small wire disconnect from the battery. You get an error on start up but can quickly reset with OK button
@@donburgoyne2038 doesn’t work on the 2023 idk about 21 or 22
What is the number for Motor craft oil filter 5.0 engine thanks
Hi, it is the Motorcraft FL500-S filter that you need. Other brands have a different number, but I've always just gone with the Ford/Motorcraft one.
From what I understand synthetic blend oils have no percentage so you could literally have a few drops in each quart ,just run full synthetic and second. I’ve never heard of anybody going to the drain plug and thinking they can take it off by hand.
The drain plug on my 2018 was a plastic one with large tabs on the side and was just a quarter turn and was capable of being removed by hand.
Good point regarding synthetic blend oils. At one time I had done a bunch of reading and research on the Ford synthetic blend and seemed to get very high ratings. And is a good price. I’ve ran it in several vehicles (F150s and a Mustang) for a collective 300,000 miles and am happy with the performance. But to each their own :-)
next time go in with your creeper from behind the passenger front tire. Get alot better access and angle on taking out the plug
Thanks I’ll give that a try in a couple weeks when it’s time for my next oil change!
Hows that cylinder deactivation working out
To be honest I can’t even tell. If I hadn’t read it in the manual or online I would swear it didn’t exist. Also can’t really tell any difference in fuel economy from my 2018 5.0L, so who knows.
I put in my order for a 21with the V8 before i found out about it
@@TheJasonVoorhees I have 6500km/4000mi and haven’t noticed it come on or off even once so if it’s drivability you’re worried about I wouldn’t worry. I used to drive a Silverado for work years ago with it and this is nothing like that.
And it’s quite possible there might be a way to deactivate with FORScan.
@@michaeltouw8908 tell me if it helds up after 70k miles more
I took mine in to the dealership and they charged me $210.00 for the oil change. I was shocked! but they were nothing but smiles. Maybe it's time to change my own oil.
I'd say its about time to with that kind of pricing! You can get the Ford Motorcraft oil and filter from Walmart or RockAuto for 1/3 that price.
I always used to do my own oil changes but got in the habit of the dealer do it with my Acura and Infiniti. Now have a Mustang and F150 and I continued letting the dealer do it but they put 8.5 quarts in my Mustang that takes 10 quarts and put the wrong viscosity in the F150 plus it was low too. I went back to doing my own - that way I know it’s done right.
When starting after changing the oil, hold the gas pedal down all the way. This puts the truck in flooded mode. It will not start but will crank and allow the oil to push around and build pressure before starting and running anything dry. Looks like we cant fill the oil filter prior to installing with tis design.
Crazy I always do that on my explorer with the 4.6 3v, great tip
No need to do this
@@MrCherrygrovedude why not? And why do so many people suggest it
With the 2021 3.5 ecoboost, the drain plug is now back to steel. So there I was like an idiot for 20mins looking for the "old" 2018 style plastic plug
... My God these guys cant make up their minds...
Also, nothing like a home oil change during the winter! Lol
Lol, I was the same looking for the old yellow plastic plug the first time. I'm not sure I have a preference, but I do like the feel of the steel one better. Yeah, the winter is never a great time for working on the car, but still a nice break from a desk job. Much more enjoyable now with temps in the 70s!
Mine was a 15mm btw 2023
Hows the v4 mode?
My daily commute consists of 60 miles (100km) each way. 90% highway driving. I’m pretty sure it must go into the cylinder deactivation mode multiple times on my commute but I’ve never been able to tell. Assuming it’s working as designed, I can’t tell it’s happening. I was a little leery of it at first but seems to be well hidden in the background and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the 5.0.
@@michaeltouw8908 that’s good to hear, I’ve got an older 5.0 with the 6 speed and thinking of upgrading. Truck looks great hope it treats you well.
@@coltonspeer3005 I've had a 2014 5.0 and 2018 5.0 as well as a 2016 2.7. The 5.0 keeps getting better, and the fact that they seemed to have fixed the oil consumption issue makes me like it even more. Haven't done much to the truck other than swapping tires/rims, tinting windows, and adding a 12V outlet/powerpoint in the bed. Still working on my dream build list!
Not sure what year you have, but I got the same XLT Sport 302A package that I had in the 2018 and this is a HUGE upgrade. I love the truck.
@@michaeltouw8908 I’ve got a 2014 fx4 5.0 with 226km on it now it’s been good just want to upgrade soon. Good to hear that they fixed the oil consumption! Your truck is the trim I would get looks great.
Glad to see Ford going back to the steel oil pans and screw in oil plug versus the plastic oil pan.
do you have any oil consumption?
I just did my 3rd oil change after an interval of 13,000km/8000miles and I drained nearly exactly the same amount out as I had put in so I am relatively confident in saying no, no oil consumption! I had a 2018 with 5.0 previously and it used a lot but this seems to be not a problem at all with the 2021.
@@michaeltouw8908
thank you very mach for your comment 🌹
I thought f150 5.0’s change their own oil. Every 5,000 miles it burns 3 qts. Just and more.
Certainly seemed like it with my 2018! But this one (knock on wood) doesn't seem to burn a drop.
Good video, sincerely. One bit of advice: shorter is ALWAYS better. No need to try to produce a Steven Spielberg caliber video - just convey the bullet points. You may consider editing to a shorter run-time. That really does appeal to most people. Viewers do NOT like having to watch commercials and the longer your video, the more commercials they will have to suffer through. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the feedback, good to know. And you're right, I don't like sitting through ads either, good point.
Look at that rust on the drive shift. Sad 2021 truck. It's definitely gonna be a problem when warranty over
I know a lot of people are complaining about this, but I've also owned 4 F150's and they've all had rust in the same areas. As have the Silverado's I've driven for work over the last decade, so at the moment I am not concerned. Regardless it's not a good PR issue for Ford!
It's light surface rust. No reliability concerns from that. It shouldn't be on a new truck for sure but won't negatively effect anything but cosmetics
after replacing the oil tensioner or whatever the hell, at only 50k miles and havingg weird rattling noises from the engine under low rpm, I am officially done with f150 v8 trucks. I think im done with ford in general. Im just gonna stick with it but invest in a japanese car. I did my best to support murica but they just scam people with terrible products. Its a shame because they look so beautiful on the outside.
Sounds pretty frustrating! This is my 4th F150 (3rd with V8) although have usually traded them in around 60,000-80,000 miles. I do have a 2006 Mustang with the 4.6V8 with 125,000 miles and (knock on wood) it’s been trouble free. I had the oil consumption issue on my 2018 F150 and occasional transmission rattle, but all that seems to be addressed now in the 2021...(hopefully ...)
@@michaeltouw8908 Are you sure the rattle was transmission. I have a 2018 and the rattle that develops is from spark knock running 87 octane in 5.0L which they increased compression on from 10.5 to 12 in 2018 as well as the 10-speed shifting too soon. The noise completely goes away with switching to 93 octane or E85, so now I run 93 in one tank and then fill up on E85 and switch back and forth so the costs balance out.
@@Mrbink01 No, I'm not sure at all, your experience could be a great explanation too. Just seemed it always happened when I let off the throttle and from what I had read online at the time, it seemed to be transmission. I don't have the truck anymore so can't test out the higher octane fuel, but sounds like if that works for you then an easy fix! Regardless, seems to be fixed in the 2021 and runs like a top on 87 octane. At 6000 miles/10,000km and not a noise or rattle to be heard.
Hand tight only please!😀
No jackstands.....jeeeez
Yes, and I’ve noted that in other comments and in the description that I should have been using jackstands.
OMG a metal oil pan, Ford finally…. Transmission pan is still plastic though….now Ford needs to get someone to redesign the transmission pan to metal pan
I know! My 2006 Mustang has a metal pan, glad they have finally returned to it. One step at a time…
Just a piece of advice. You need to use a torque wrench when putting your drain plug back on to it’s called specification. You never just use your own judgement. And maybe I don’t see them but you shouldn’t post videos without having the proper safety in place. What happens if your jack fails. I’m not trying to bust your balls but you should really delete this and start over so nobody takes your advice and climb under truck without jack stands.
any cops ever give you shit for the license plate cover?
Nope! Had a CBP agent comment one time crossing the border, but haven't had any issues on this or my other car with the smoked license plate cover. And have travelled from coast to coast in the US and nearly the same in Canada with it. (Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself now!)
That Confederate flag is gross; why sully such a nice garage with it 🤬
Agreed.
I have a large collection of flags. Have changed my position on this particular one and it has come down since filming the video and been replaced by a different one.
That's excellent to hear! Thanks for replying, and thanks for the informative video. Doing the 2nd oil change on my '21 today after spending 150+ USD on the first one at the dealer. Spent ~200 bucks on 5 gallons of motorcraft oil and 12 motorcraft filters and won't be wasting that money at the dealer anymore!
Glad to hear it helped!! Not giving all that money to the dealership is always a great feeling! I’m approaching 50,000 miles already on the truck. You’ll be pleased to know the truck has been bulletproof thus far (not to jinx myself).
Had to give it thumbs down because not only you do not change your oil when the truck is not leveled (speaking of not leaving old oil in the engine), you certainly do NOT crawl underneath a car/truck that is raised with a floor jack without additional support. like a stand jack, wood blocks, etc. (especially when it's not level).
Yes thank you. Other people have commented on the jack stands and I have highlighted a note in the description on that as well. As far as not being perfectly level, yeah, certainly that’s ideal, but most home mechanics aren’t going to have a lift to perfectly level their vehicle.
