Use a plastic Ziploc bag to remove the oil filter, I did mine yesterday and didn't spill a drop! Place the bag over the filter and unscrew the filter and the oil will pour into the bag then when the filter comes off put it in the bag and remove! I also fill my new filter with oil that way there's no dry startup!
Thats an awesome tip with the ziploc bag! I'll have to try that on the next oil change for sure! 👍
That is a great idea!!!!!!
Thanks. Good idea..Will use today
Great tip. Terrible location for the filter.
ThrustWasher I've also been told to fill the filter with new oil before putting it back on. Don't know how much difference it makes.
Thanks for teaching us the stuff our dead beat dads never did 🙏🏻💖
Hoo boy. Listen here boys and girls. I felt pretty silly being a grown ass man watching a video on how to change the oil in my "new to me" ram, but holy shit am I glad I did. Old filter seemed like it took forever to spin off holding it with a gallon ziplock bag to try and prevent spillage (actually works pretty well, barely spilled a few drops on the frame), but the new filter tightened up in like 2 turns. Was concerned at first, but then I remembered dude said to make sure the gasket from the old filter didn't stay on the truck, and that's exactly what happened. I've never had that happen before, and I thought it was odd that he would say that, but I 100% would have just double checked to make sure it wasn't cross threaded, and then used my reet ard strength to tighten it up good and proper.
Seriously, thanks for these videos and your posts on ramforum. Boutta tackle the active grill shutter delete.
its 7 quarts and u put the key in the run postion then u pump the gas 3 times thats the master reset on all chrystler products
Due to this virus scare, this girl is having to change her own oil for the first time, in a long time. Thank you for the walk through!
D
No problem! Hope it went well!!
BoostedMotorsports Yes, thanks to your vid! 👏🏼🏆
Did you survive?
You made it!? I knew you could do it
This girl just did my first oil change today on my 2015 ram hemi with this video. It was awesome and fun to do. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thats awesome! Glad you enjoyed the vid! 👍👍👍
Sometimes I'll use sandpaper for grip on oil filter.👍
One thing I do with all my oil filters that go in vertically is fill them with oil to get it full. It prevents an extensive dry start. Obviously the oil itself is new and clean so I’m not worst that but those few seconds of no oil in the engine does damage. Ive filled all my ram oil filters and when I start it after an oil change the dry start only lasts about a half a second, then its back to normal. I believe it makes the engine have less wear, making it last longer. Ive always done it with all my cars. People think I’m crazy but all my cars have had over 200k miles
I always pre-wet the filters, keep pouring, several times till the proper height to install w/o spilling. even for the 5.2 Jeep engines, a little less to match the screw-mounting angle. Jason good post, keep wettingum ppl.
I like your videos. I have the same truck and you pretty much go over all my questions when it comes to upgrades, accessories, and maintenance. I appreciate your help, keep up the good work.
I really like your videos on the Ram 1500. I do a lot of my own maintenance, and your videos rock!
I've changed all my own oil and filter at 5-7k in my last 4 vehicles even new off the lot with warranty.
My last two trucks were at 215k miles when sold and not a single issue, tundra though, and 2 challengers with 40k and 55k 5.7, 6.4 both manual trans.
I used a 15 minute lube shop one time in my off road tundra, and they mix matched all my skid plates bolts which also later fell off going 50, miraculously didn't do damage to my truck, but also torqued the oil drain bolt on so tight that I had to slot it and replace it. Never again, change your own oil! It's also kind of fun to select your own oil, and filter. Certainly good practice to learn your vehicle and how many miles she'll go without any need for any major issue on intervals, hell I've caught a worn out tie rod end before while changing my oil, and replaced that with a buddy on a Saturday off.
Just got my first 2014 1500 ram sport 5.7 hemi v8 thanks to you just did my first oil change on it thanks man appreciate your videos of course whoever had the filter on before me had it on so tight made it difficult but got through it thanks man alot 💯💯💯💯
Every couple of oil changes I usually pour some fresh oil in the top as it finishes draining, just helps get all that dirty oil sitting in the bottom
Your videos are amazing and I've learnt so much general ram hemi maintenance from you. I use a large glad bag to put over the filter before spinning it off saves clean up.
I've changed oil in other vehicles plenty of times before but I just got my 2011 ram a few months ago and am doing my first oil change for it today. Great video 👍
Great Video. Nice and simple. I now have the confidence i need to change my own oil. Thank You.
Just got my 17 sport and these videos are teaching me a lot. Thanks for the posts
Thanks for the support Geoff! Plenty more on the way and new videos go up every other day! 👍
Thanks for the good info. I will typically remove the oil fill cap while draining oil to alleviate any vacuum and assure the best possible drainage. Happy motoring!
Thanks for checking out the vid! Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on the channel also when you get a chance! 👍😎
I like the video. You have the right voice for the Do It Yourself video.
This was very helpful. The owners manual is useful for determining how many quarts of oil your specifi
Model truck and engine holds. And I found mopar made two very different size oil filters for the 2014 Ram. So if your given a smaller filter than the one you remove from you truck at the Dodge dealership it's correct.
Great work man.
Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! Let me know what you think of the other videos on the channel when you get a chance too! 👍
Your videos are the best man. ⭐️
Thanks so much my man! Just did a oil change on my ram and this video helped a lot
Great video man, and thanks for showing us how to reset the oil life indicator.
Thank you! Changing my own oil this week!
Aside from the ziploc bag, getting a larger pan made a huge difference for me. I kept spilling with the 2 gallon one you used and later bought a 16 qt drain pan. Wish I would have done it sooner. It also has an anti-splash rim and a drain nozzle so you can pour back into gallon jugs without a funnel.
Very thorough my dude. Thank u!
Was about to do an oil change on 2017 1500 express and was wondering where the oil filter is. Your video was helpful. Thanks
The main reason gaskets stick to the block is from a lack of oil on the gasket. The oil residue on the block isn’t enough. Put oil on the gasket.
What he said. Oil on a gasket prevents it from sticking to mating surface. Sometimes (NOT with an oil filter) there is a need to NOT oil a rubber seal gasket, but, usually on permanently repaired surfaces that will never be removed again.
That's not why, they peel off everytime regardless. Oil is to lubricate the seal so that it doesn't bind as you spin on the filter, and therefore seals correctly.
@@amritk5173 Thats correct man )
So put the new oil on the rubber gasket of the new filter?
@@MgOrt231 yes
Really enjoying your channel!
Thank you appreciate the support! Plenty more on the way! 👍👍👍
Really nice, clear video. I remember changing the oil and filter the first time on my Ram after it was out of warranty. Took me a few minutes to find it using a drop light! The thing was tucked up under there.
Excellent video, very well done, I subscribed - thanks!
Great video shows you step by step real useful if you have no idea in mechanics
For less mess with the oil filter break it loose. Get a zip lock bag, put it around the filter then screw off. The oil goes in the bag and just a couple drops on the frame
chris zarish - That is a great idea brother. I am definitely going to try that.
I can't for the life of me ever get that to work
That's a great tip! 👍
Great and awesome tip! Thanks Bro!
Still a PITA though. My vehicle you just put your vacuum pump in the dipstick to extract the oil, and the oil filter is accessible from the hood, so no need to get under the vehicle or jack anything up. Don't know why FCA can't spend the extra $50 to make it more convenient to service.
Great vid man, while the drain plug is out take your oil filter off and screw on the new one after priming it, you will be amazed how much more oil will drain from the pan hole .5 liter sometimes. Need to get all the oil out
I love doing oil changes and switching out my winter tires. Anything else I need a real man to do it.
When the oil filter is vertical like that i found its best to fill it up with oil before you install it, this way you have oil pressure immediately on startup and don't have any clickity clackity lifters. Great video otherwise!
Thanks for the feedback Joe! 👍
Better to fill it only 1./2 way - 2/3. Sometimes the slug of oil in the filter will be an obstruction to the oil pump getting prime when there is air between the pump and the filter. - Sandy
I have always filled the filter at least half way to help prevent dry starts in the shop and I do it on my own Ram.
Holy shit I just learned something. Lol have had a little lifter noise on start ups that goes away. Thanks guys!
I use Amzoil and Wix oil filter on my Ram and I love it.
Great vid, I'm doing mine tommorow mornin 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Corey! Pretty straight forward procedure! Glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks again for your support! 🤙
Great video man!
Thanks for your support brother! More on the way! 👍
Thank you I just got my first 2015 Ram truck and this help me a lot is marking an oil change now and they try to charge me 130 for the oil change hell no haha that so simple that now that I see your video man
Good job...thanks...👍
Doing my 2013 ram soon...this will help...your computer oil reet is a little different than mine so hopefully I can reset it the same.
Good tip about the gasket.
Thanks for info.
Thx it helps me out ot know it's going to b3 easy to change my oil
Thanks John! I just changed my oil with you today!
Hi. I love your channel. I've been doing my oil since I bought the truck Brandy new(2014). I use a 2L coke bottle cut in half to place under the oil filter before I start loosen it. That way. The half coke bottle catches all the dirty oil. I'll be doing spark plugs soon. So your other video for that will be very helpful.
Thanks for the support on the channel! 👍👍👍
Nice! Thanks for the vid. I think this might be the first vehicle I've owned where you don't have to used a jack and jack stands. And I suppose I could use the air suspension to raise the truck for more clearance.
Thanks for your support brother! Yeah its nice to not need a jack to get under the truck! Everyone keeps telling me to put a 2/4 belltech drop on it but I like how practical it is right now lol 😆
Boosted2k I would drop it. I have the factory air suspension on mine and wish it would go lower. Although mine is 4x4, I'm not interested in raising it. If I had your truck I would drop it.
ALWAYS fill the oil filter with fresh oil before install
Mobil1 good stuff. I use their filter too.
I am not sure if anyone has yet mentioned this. I am a fan of Mobile 1 Full Synthetic that you show in the video. After the normal break-in period on a rebuilt '78 Datsun 280Z engine I switched from the mechanic-installed Pennzoil conventional oil to Mobile 1 full synthetic. To my knowledge, in the early '90 no other oil companies offered full synthetics in the U.S. I stuck with it in that vehicle. Recently I have begun switching all of my vehicles to full synthetic oils of varying brands. They all sell for their weight in gold now, even conventional oil, so what's a couple buck every few thousand miles. I have typically stayed with the brand that the previous owner used, if I knew the previous owner. I even have a Chevy S-10 with 310,000 miles still running Quaker State. In an effort to avoid stocking 3 or 4 oil brands in varying viscosities for each brand, I sought to find one oil brand in one product line that would be suitable and recommended according to all of the manufacturers of the vehicles that I own that is readily available in local retail stores, mainly Wal-Mart (best oil prices that I have found). It is nearly impossible. I did not find one brand and product line that satisfied all auto manufacturers' special additive/formulation guidelines simultaneously. I'm not driving Porsches and Teslas either. For instance, one brand met General Motors "GM6904" specs while not meeting Crysler "MS6395". Some manufacturers go ever further. I owned a 2014 VW Passat 2.5L that specced one Castrol Edge product, and only that one product. I have begun looking in my owners manuals for what each manufacturer recommends specifically for that year and that engine ( like API SN vs API SJ, or the aforementioned GM...., MS...., WS...., etc,) and not relying on older conventional knowledge and experience.
Now, my 2015 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi manual recommends, Mopar, Pennzoil, or Shell Helix that meets Chrysler MS6395 material standards. Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic does that. No others that I found did so. All of the viscosity preferences of mine are out the window now too. If my manual states 5W-30, that is exactly what I will use, even if I "feel" like 10W-40 would be better in the SC summer heat towing a 6000lb boat up and down hills at speeds that I could be arrested for just mentioning. No more 10W-30 in the winter, 10W-40 in the fall and spring, and sometimes 20W-50 in the summer.
So I found it interesting to note that you are using the very oil that I would have grabbed myself for the first oil change as the new second owner of this truck. I just thought it may be worth everyone looking into. I have also been a fan of OEM oil filters in the past. Wix has demonstrated a commitment to manufacturing quality filters. Napa sells a wix made NAPA Gold filter that is excellent according to some very good mechanics and car nuts like me. It saves me time running around to dealers buying Mopar, Nissan, AC Delco, Toyota, Suzuki, and Mercury Marine filters that I like to keep in stock. Something else worth exploring is the filter medias available now. I have seen some stating that they were designed for use with synthetic oils.
A few more worthy suggestions to everyone about oil changes. Don't go 7000 miles before an oil change even if your Vehicle Information Center indicates you are only at 60% of the oil's life. I like 3000, maybe 5000 with synthetics. Check it once a month when the vehicle is level and the engine is cool. ALL vehicles use oil, regardless of age or mileage. Fill the new filter with fresh oil unless it is mounted horizontally and coat the new filter gasket with a film of oil so that it seals well and does not pinch and deform as it is tightened. I personally like a 1/4 to 1/2 turn with a filter wrench after hand tight. I have seen filters come off of other people's vehicles before. I prefer a wrench of the proper size over a ratchet and socket where permissible. It gives me a better feel for how much torque you are applying. A torque wrench is the best of course, but not many people own one, at least in a 3/8" drive. And if you have the luxury of letting the vehicle sit for a couple of hours with the drain plug out, let the dirtiest oil (those last few drops) come out while you grease the suspension, check CV boots for cracks, and look for other signs of potential failures. Spend that time getting to know your vehicle from below.
One last thing to anyone attempting to change their own oil for the first time : Down the road no matter how much you know or how much experience you have, question everything until you become familiar with each of your vehicle. In 37 years of having the satisfaction of doing my own mechanicing, along with probably 350 oil changes, I am here myself to learn from someone else what I think I may already know.
Actually Amsoil was the first synthetic. Original mobil one sucked and Amsoil showedmobil how to make it.
Great video subbed..
Thanks brotha. You have helped me a ton already. Just got another Ram
Thank you ...👍🏼
You only need 7 Quarts... The dealer filled it above last time... so I changed my own this time with Pennzoil full synthetic 5W-30W. The 2019 uses the OK button to select and arrows to pass through the choices.
Nice video, nice rims
I have a tire pressure light on as well just bought this 2013 sport 5.7 liter Hemi
Thanks bro 👏
Another great video boosted2k thank you! keep up awesome content! hopefully, I can start making similar videos soon, just waiting on the computer to get here.
Thanks Kody! Yeah get those videos up brother! Nothing better than having a video to see all the work that went into a build years later! Wish I did this sooner with my other builds! 🤙
I just bought one of these trucks and I love it!! but ,I still cant get over the motor covering and filter,looks like a lawnmower and vacuum cleaner,lol....I always thought you was supposed to fill oil filter half way cause of way they oil themselves,new motors might be different far as i know,thanks
Mobile 1!!! That's what use!
Can't go wrong with Mobil 1 synthetic! 😎
Thanks brother
Nice truck
What wheels do you have on there? They look great!
Thanks bud...just did my oil on my 2018 ram I just got. I used liqui oil....any thoughts on engine longevity?
Hi..great video....should you ALWAYS change the oil filter with EVERY oil change?
Great instructional vid. Thanks.
Thanks Andy! Be sure to check out the other videos on the channel too when you get a chance!
I got to say 2wheel drive is much easier to change the oil filter than on my 4x4 👍🏻😎
Haha very true! 😎
can you do a video of the ATI Super Damper installation? thank you
and
bravooooooooo :)
Thanks brother! I haven't had a need to install one of those yet and they are super expensive! Probably supercharge this old girl before I get to putting one of those on 😁
Not sure what year and model you're driving BUT the 2013 Laramie Longhorn 5.7 Hemi 6speed 4x4 with the heavy duty Tow Package makes getting to my Oil Filter a complete and total B&#^CH...I can tell that our lines run differently and yours allow fairly easy access considering the design location could have been much easier to locate for a regular service item. Good Video. Well Done. JP
What kind of mufflers do you have on your mopar? And thanks for video
So after you reset it on the dashboard does it still real “change” ? Mine stayed the same on red.
I let the old oil drip out of the drain plug hole while I change the filter. Before I put the drain plug back, i clean the old oil around the drain hole and clean the bolt threads of dirt. Then I clean the flange where the new filter will seat. And put clean oil on the filter gasket and prefilled before replacing it.
Before I use Mobil 1 and noticed it will breakdown more faster than Pennzoil and my truck engine feels more smoother.
Garcia's Wood Work probably because the only Mobil oil certified by Chrysler is the Mobil super synthetic
Nice wheels and tires.
Thanks Alex!
What type of wheels? Great informative video, I’m new to the ram family, thanks for the tips.
That's what I wanna know
Hellcat replica wheels
I have a 13, 2500, doesn't have the steering rack so the filter is easier to change, but seems like a very small filter for for the size of engine, not much bigger than my lawn mower uses.
a magnetic socket or just placing one at the end to take out the bolt will prevent oil from getting all over you and the bolt will not fall in the pan
Great tip Derek! 👍
Love the wheels. What size are they?
Was there any type of gasket or washer for your plug? My setup and plug looks just like yours but there was no washer..
Bro do you prefer Mobil 1 synthetic oil or pennzoil?
The lid is child-proof lol.😂. That's why u are having trouble lol.😂. I had to say it . You step in to that one lol.😂 Ty for the video
Great video. I have a question. I have a 2020 2500 6.4 gas Ram that takes euro motor oil. Do I have to put that or can I put regular oil.
Have you thought about a oil filter relocation kit? To be able to move it to a easier access point. It would really help out in my opinion.
Yeah I've seen them and people seem to be happy with it! Personally it doesn't bother me too much for the amount of times I need to get under there and change my oil I just deal with it. 😁
I am going to try that and an engine oil cooler too. Currently runs at 100 - 107centigrade but hoping Cooler will keep down to 90 centigrade
Just blast the frame with brake clean after putting the new filter on. And the spec is 25 ft lbs on the drain plug for the 5.7 hemi
what do you suggest about the kms or miles between oil changes,compare to the light reminder I can drive lake 8700 ,miles or so,many owners change the oil when they hit 5000mil but I am thinking full synthetic oil is much more better then 5000mil,so what do you think,what is the best way for this?
I liked your video is was well scripted and the camera work and audio was great. I the onlything wrong was the fact the Mobile 1 oil is not compatible with Dodge Ram 1500 5.7l hemi. They make a compatible oil for the hemi in Europe, but it's not sold here in the states.
Is there any grease fittings underneath the truck that we should be looking for?
Can you make a video on how to replace a valve gasket cover on a dodge ram 1500? Year 06-10? Please and thank you
i have a 2012 with the hemi, engines has 120k miles. should i use the same 5w20 oil?
any insight is great appreciated
Hey buddy where did you get your tires they are super clean ?
Te pregunto Toretto,. Tengo una Hemi 5.7 y el fabricante indica 5w20 Sintético. El anterior dueño usaba mineral 15w40 . Cabe destacar tiene 310 mil km sin fugas ni nada, solo mayor consumo de combustible. Puedo colocar de una vez a sintético del fabricante sin tener que lavar el motor para evitar el carbón que generó el aceite mineral me tape los conductos y deje de lubricar el
Motor.
Yes i use to use Mobile. My oil pan was rusted out bad. So dodge put new one on. Got me thinking about bolts on manifold. I use pensoil. Or what ever. Ya it's in a stubid spot. I go in the front towards the filter. And always us mopar filters. And other fluids
Hi I have a 2012 5.7 hemi and I'm installing a new camshaft what oil do you recommend to break it in .... I currently use 5w20 but I live in texas and people tell me I'm supposed to run it on 5w30 or 10w 30 because 5w20 is too thin.. please help
Ok I gotta ask. Do your save any money by doing the oil change yourself? Seems like they get such a good deal on parts and oil. The price I can buy the stuff at makes it really not worth it for me to do it. Good video and tips and can’t wait to see more. Thanks
haha , i just did mine yesterday, You can always hear and feel smoother operation after oil change. I just rather spend 60 bucks for synthetic and 20k miles filter made for it, but i leave it about 7k miles. What's up with smaller oil filling opening? It used to be double size on my 06.
Yeah they made it pretty tiny on these trucks but I still managed to dump it in there without spilling it all over the place lol 🤣
Question.. local shop used acdelco 0w20 oil and acdelco filter. Is the 0w20 the correct oil viscosity for 2012 ram 1500 5.7 ? Any input would be great t.y
What antenna do you have? Thanks!
I was told to put some oil in filter also before installing new
I recommend Royal Purple, it’s good stuff…. I use on all our cars and truck
Have you ever replaced an original 5.7 oil pump with a 6.2 version to remove the dreaded hemi tick? Have you filmed it?
Do you use a new crush washer on the drain plug?
If someone adds 5qts of 5-20 and 1qt of 0-20 could the vehicle run? Or should they drain it and do it all over?
