- Instructions on how to remove the skid plate, drain the oil pan & oil cooler.
Skid plate hardware 16mm-6 point
Oil Pan drain plug 14mm-6 point
Oil Cooler drain plug 15mm-6 point
Mopar Oil Filter 488 4899AC
7.5 Litres of Full Synthetic 0w40
Two things.............Always support the oil cooler with another wrench on the cooler housing when tightening the drain plug.
YUP............the MO-899 filter is the CORRECT filter for everyday driving.
The SRT filter is for track use, where you would be changing the oil MUCH more often.
Agreed, two hands would of been great if I had a camera man!
uh oh... you got lucky with that fairly loose oil cooler bolt LOL
If I had to guess it was mabye tighten to just a few lbs!
Mine was loose as well
Thanks for doing this video. I always prefer to do oil changes myself because the dealership rips you off. I highly doubt the dealers take the time to drain the oil cooler.
I hear ya man, it's cheaper as well to! Just keep your receipts for warranty!
Thank you dude, super helpful knowing those dealers don’t do shit
why don't you use srt filter, and where did you drain the oil from the pipe? is it obligatory?
I don't see a purpose to use the srt oil filter as this Mopar filter meets the same spec as the SRT filter(also mopar) I also change my oil more frequently, and you should definitely drain the oil cooler as it's part of the service.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx Cut open the Mopar one. VS's the SRT ( 5038041AA ) one, big difference. Plus Hellcats motors are suppose to us one. I use the SRT one. On my 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn with the 5.7L Hemi.
No TRX comes with a SRT oil filter, didn't see a reason to use one. I'm not worried about it as I change the oil frequently and use a catch can.
Hi, seeing you drained the oil cooler, but I didnt see you refil the oil cooler back in. Why? and which oil did u use for the cooler?@superbrowndudenational_trx
@ThePasserGenius The oil cooler gets refilled from the engine, after the engine starts the oil cooler will be filled. It does not require any additional oil added from a second location.
Drain plug is a 13mm on my 22’
Thanks for the update!
this vehicle came to my dealership & i put an acdelco filter 🤣🤣 also i did remove all those bolts & yeahhhh it’s impossible to put that skid plate back with one person 💀
Lol yah it's a pain in the butt!
I just did! But it sucked
I think they put the oil filters in the worst possible positions on purpose. I have small hands and I have a difficult time on some oil filters. God help you guys with big bear paws for hands.
These trucks aren't to bad, if you have a spring cup, and extension it will make it eaiser to.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx Getting ready for my first oil and filter change. Just got my aftermarket ECM installed and hooked up my tuner. Will get back to you after oil change.
Hi how are you?
I trust you and would like to ask a question. I have a deposit down for a Ram TRX limited edition ignition edition 2022 I want to ask is it a good car? I’ve never owned Ram. Would you recommend it more than the F150? Any problems you’ve seen with them or heard about?I don’t want to make a mistake it’s a big purchase it’s a limited car I’d love your feedback and recommendation. I’m in Texas.
Great truck and build quality, far more superior than any Ford product in terms or interior and power. Its also proving to hold its value better than the Raptor. There is no comparison between the two!.... However the fuel consumption is very real Hahaha!
Mo, if you don’t know the clear striking difference between the 2 trucks, please do not waste your money. You will never appreciate trx or do your diligent research.
Thanks for the video. I think I’ll change the oil in my 21 Trx today I’m down to about 25% oil life.🤔
Did you get it done?
@@superbrowndudenational_trx Sure did!
Don't forget to reset the oil light! Cause I always do lol!
That’s the easy my friend
Such a great help... thanks for all the tips!!!
You're welcome sir 😀
Did you add any engine oiler cooler after you drained it?
I’m confused to why there’s a oil cooler drain
The oil cooler will get filled by the engine oil after the engine is started up.
All Hellcats have the drain on the oil cooler
@@superbrowndudenational_trx I see, so you you drain it after every oil change?
It's part of the oil change and should be done to ensure all the old oil is out the vehicle.
Did you get torque values from TRX service manual?
I got them from my shop software for our truck. Which would be the same values located in the owners manual.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx Ok thanks for the reply! I just picked up my TRX last week and will do my own oil changes. I always like to have a service manual but I haven't found one yet for the TRX. Thanks for posting the video!
For sure buddy! Have fun with it!
Great video, I was thinking about running this cooler on my 6.4 Restomod GTX is there any chance that you have more photos for the cooler and how it is mounted in the truck? I have to modify ot of course and there is a set up with all the parts attached to the cooler just like what you have, I had asked for measurements of the cooler but they don't seem to care. Any chance you might be able to give me the dimensions of the cooler and the part that holds the cooler. I am not sure how yet but it would be cool if I can make it work in a professional way. Thanks John
Hey John that sounds like it's going to be a killer build. I can take a video this weekend and try to measure it for you. Do you have Instagram? You can message me directly there if you like.
I like seeing that there is a filter drip tray. My 02 4.7 has it and it's a great feature for making things a little less messy. Hopefully the 24 is the same way. About to do my first oil change on it.
Your right about that drip tray, definitely helps. Luckily nothing has changed for the final year of production 2024. So your good to go!
The 0w-40 oil is that what this engine takes or that’s a preference.?? And any Auto Zone has it including the oil filter.?? Thanks for the video it was very helpful.!!!
The 0w40 is what the engine requires to maintain the warranty. I perfer to use the Pennzoil platinum as it's also used from the factory!
I used a different brand oil not being srt, do you think that is the cause of metal shavings in the oil dipstick???
The brand shouldn't matter, did you use the specified weight of oil 0w40? Are you sure they are metal shavings on the dipstick?
If you can, drain the oil, check it with a magnet, cut open the oil filter as well.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx yes sir its 0w40. Been parked for almost a month now, do not want to risk it due to no more warranty. 2021 trx with 13xxx thousand miles, also the check engine light came on for the Low coolant, i have topped coolant off and light is still on. I've only been doing research on UA-cam but there isn't much info about this trucks. I will check it either this week or next week with a magnet, and getting specifically srt oil and fileter from coparts. Oil still looking honey colored with shiny debris. it was my sunday truck with the family 🤷🏻♂️ idk what's going on with it. Very disappointed
why did you drain the oil from the cooler? is it necessary?
Draining the oil cooler is part of the oil change and 100% necessary.
You make it look too easy that I may try it next time. Great video, thanks 😊
Thanks man, just take your time and have all you tools and supplies laid out. You can do it!
That is the darkest I’ve ever seen any used oil.
Yah it was quite dark, I've seen worse. Still a bit surprised tho!
Thanks man!
I have bent the crap put of my skid plate offroading. Poor design by Ram as my raptor never had this kind of damage nor did the raptor get damage on the same jump on Saturday where I bent mine. The 1st oil change will be interesting!
Lol yah I bent the shit out of the skid plate that covers the front diff. The irony was it happened on snow during winter Lapping! There's so nice aftermarket ones for our trucks out there to!
Since you bent the skid plate during normal operations, wouldn't the warranty cover a replacement?
@@KevinSmith-bg9tt i have ordered a frame cut bumper from evil mfgr so it doesn't happen again
I just bought a TRX oil change kit on Amazon. Came with a mopar MO-041. Is this correct filter? Also, should one buy a filter wrench to remove the oil filter or will a rubber strap tool work?
Yes that filter will work for you, if it's the first oil change you may want to get a filter wrench as it will be very tight. Just a bit awkward is all! Have fun and good luck!
Thanks man! I called my Ram dealer with the oil filter part number and he couldn’t even find it. He said it wouldn’t work in the TRX. I’ll get one of the wrenches! Do you happen to know the size/# of flutes?
It should work with all the 6.2 SRT motors, I do not recall how many flutes. I would buy a small and large wrench and return whichever one you didn't use.
Awesome video. Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful 😊
Thx dog!
Glad this shit is helpful lol!
Thanks!
You're welcome, enjoy!
