Nice job and you make it so simplistic with no hydraulic jack and a simple crescent wrench. I have a Winnebago Travato with the Ram promaster chassis and love how easy it is to change the oil.
I don't need any extra tools and since I already have the drain cock I'll continue to use it. I've gotten pretty good at doing this. Gives me a chance to inspect for gasket leaks and suspension/cv joints.
Good job: Please comment on use of oil extractor, as on ProMastersOnly. Drain plug leaves about 3/8 inch of used oil in bottom where extractor sucks out all oil. Planning to order Swan Lake, Topsider or 12 volt.
I've never used one on any vehicle I've owned but I'm sure they work great. We don't have a lot of space to warrant the need for one. That's a great video idea for someone. Check Project Farm YT channel to see if he's tested one.
I have a video on my channel using an oil extractor. I use an electric pump. Once you do it that way you never go back. No need to even bend down under the van!
Question: at 16:10 you click the filter in place then screw on the top. Other videos show the filter being clicked into the cap and then filter and cap together tightened in. Any difference between the two methods?
I bought 5 qts Pennzoil Platinum 5W20 full synthetic at Walmart today for $23/each. I went ahead and bought 10 qts because 1 qt alone was like $12, save it for next change

Thanks. I'd be interested in an oil catch can installation of you ever do one of those.
If you run a tube down the dipstick spot, you can pump the oil out, then that way you never have to go underneath the vehicle again.

Not that I'm aware of. Preference really.
Nice job with the explanation and discretion on how it works.
It was great to see you two again.
Always a thumbs up 👍
Likewise, great seeing y'all as well.
O'Reilly's worker tells me MO-349 is not compatible with 2023 RAM Promaster 3500. Is he incorrect??

Don't climb under there, get an oil extractor
Don't have room for it.
