Nice vid. Always good to review the basics once in a while. Should be really helpful to those new to car maintenance.
Make sure the old oil filter gasket comes off with the old filter, otherwise you will double the gasket with the new filter and cause a big leak. Also, I fill the filter with new oil before installing.
303 Mopar what gasket it’s a o ring also I’ve never seen the o ring stick on the oil filter housing causing a leak ,maybe don’t over tighten filter then you will never have this problem
There is a gasket on every oil filter, and it has a tendency to stick on the adapter. I always check on the adapter that the gasket comes off with the filter. If you've ever had this happen to you, then you know.
Good video. A few suggestions for newbies that are not covered properly here. 1. Wear gloves. 2. Replace drain plug gasket 3. Remove oil filler cap before draining 4. Fill filter at least half way if angle allows 5. Inspect oil in a very shallow pan for metal shavings, not a jar. 6. Older cars will benefit from synthetic oil products. Safe driving all.
Can not wait for the day I have enough time to open a shop up
I like to open my oil fill cap before draining old oil.
Thank you for your video. Very informational. One of the best I've seen on oil changes. Very professional.
filling the new filter with oil, letting it soak in for a minute, then filling again, lowers the time taken to build oil pressure
There's a engine builder that I watch on YT that recommends putting ZDDP in the older flat tappet motors because these new oils don't have zinc in them.
Would definitely recommend pre-filling the oil filter.
Know someone who ruined a brand new $4500 crate engine because they didn't check for leaks. Got the wrong diameter filter and put about 4 miles on the engine before spinning the bearings.
cody roland Ouch!! That must hurt financially (BIG TIME)!!!, and mentally!!!
Good stand up guy.
One top tip is to pour a little bit of fresh new oil through so some of the dirty stuff on the bottom comes out.
Parabéns pelo vídeo!!!......Muito Bom!!!
Awesome thanks
Thanks
yep.
You didn't pre fill the filter with new oil, I've done that for 20 years, am I wasting my time?
Yes for sure. It took maybe 1 second for the filter to be filled at startup.
Is it true it’s good to put a little oil in the oil filter when possible. So the car starts easier.
No need for that
To put or not to put is all depends on u
make sure to get the "correct filter" at auto parts store ! HAhahahaha
question , some mechanistic told me to keep oil between low and high points on the stick .
Sergey Khochay ummmm why? Anytime it is below the max line, you could be causing premature wear and tear, or damage to your engine. Because anytime it's not on that line, there's not enough oil getting to the right places.
Nope, that´s why there´s a MAX and a MIN... you shouldn´t keep it near the MIN mark, but not necessarily always in the MAX one...
I was always taught that the best place for the oil level is 3/4 of the way up in the safe zone on the dipstick
a little bit of leak is normal!?
Johnny Knoxville lil bit
Yes a bit of leaking is normal. If you ever design or build an engine you will see why. Turning shafts, large surfaces on sumps etc. Hard to make stuff precise, let alone stay precise for 50 years.
I would say more normal with older engines. Most new engines are so precisely made that it might be a bigger red flag but still some seeping oil is not that bad. If you get drops on the ground then it is too much.
Allot if your driving a Jeep.... 😁
Even the jet engines on the B777 leak a lil bit.
Thank goodness I've always had oil in my oil
That´s a 10 cents aluminium crush washer on the drain plug... I can´t stand that he used the old one, moreso when it was "pointy".
