Bro that is a great video. I took my 2021 F150 2.7 in just today, and with a discount of $12.50, I still paid $92.00. For a freakin' oil change. I am doing it myself from now on. I will get everything you used in this video. Great pan and very cool plug. I appreciate your detailed explanation.
Wow that’s a pricey oil change. I take mine to a local shop, 6 qts of semi syn oil and filter & lube for $39, tax and shop supply’s included. It’s tough to buy the oil and filter for that price. I have it changed about every 2500 mi as I don’t drive much in a yrs time. Otherwise it would be changed at 4000 mi intervals if I drove more
That drain plug is definitely nice and pretty, but I prefer the oil to rush out. Oil rushing out will pick up any type of settlement at the bottom of your pan. A little oil on my hands never bothers me.
The good part of the ronin is that it has a magnetic end on the inside which collects any shavings. Plus your filter should be cleaning the oil for any non medal sediment.
The plug isn’t on the bottom of the pan so there is about a 1/2” at the bottom of the pan to the drain. So I would think if there was any sediment it would still be laying on the bottom of the pan and not getting “flushed” out
I have one of these and love it, but I did learn that leaving the filler cap in when opening the drain slowed the flow coming out just a bit, after it slows then I would remove the fill cap . But this Ronin still let’s the flow come out very quickly, just better managed if you use a hose the way it is shown here
I like to put silicone grease on the reusable filter housings the end the threads and gaskets it makes it a lot easier to get it off if somebody overtightens it
When I take that access panel off I only remove 3 of the 8 mm bolts. Then I loosen the 4th bolt ( rear passenger side bolt ) . That lets me rotate the panel out of my way. When it's time to put it back on I just rotate it back into position and the other 3 holes line right up. Also I use a cordless drill with a 1/4 inch driver with a 8mm socket on it. Good video.
Mine ripped, but you can buy a steel replacement one from a raptor right from the dealer along with mounting hardware, and it bolts to the side of the frame.
Great video. Two in one. I’m definitely getting a few things you recommended for my next oil change. Also you have the best price for the oil filters🙌🏾
I had an oil pan like that, but the cap did not stay on well it leaked if it was lying flat now i just use a big square transmission funnel with a mesh pad in it on top of a regular oil pan. makes it hard to miss and does not splash. then dump it in a heavy duty 5-gallon jug from tractor supply.
Great job dude! I love that drain plug,definitely will be looking in to one.. and, with that skid plate, that’s underneath,try leaving the one bolt in tours Passenger side back. Just leave that one screw in loosely and then you can just move the whole thing out of your way without taking it completely down. It makes it a lot easier when reinstalling. That’s usually how I do it.peace!..I have that same funnel. I actually won that funnel at a golf tournament.Thats funny! .
Thanks for the video. I just installed one and discovered the internal part of the plug is magnetic similar to aircraft oil fittings to inspect for metal chips.
My only concern with the fancy Ronan plug is if you go to a service bay instead of DIY. Assume they may not have the special adapter to drain. As an owner I would not bring that device with me if traveling away from home.
That drain pan was a great purchase. After 30 years of changing my oil and transferring/spilling I bought one. I have a 2018 and don’t know that the Ronin will fit behind that cross member. The stock plug, if you crack it and just hold it in the opening the oil will flow down vertically. But you have to hold it the entire time.
Awesome video! Thanks so much!! The oil pan link in the description doesn’t bring any results on Amazon. The link looks broken or the product is unavailable. Any other link you could send?
Curious if anyone uses this with skid plates that have an access door to the drain plug. Looks like this ronin plug would be harder to use than a Fumoto since the piece needs to be screwed in to release oil.
Awesome video thanks for sharing you just saved me $80.00 by doing it myself I like wrenching on my MC & truck. Question where did purchase the oil filter from?. Thanks again.
Should wait after shut down 15 minutes minimum before checking the level (it is mentioned in the manual). The engine is designed to drain slowly from the upper end. My own 2.7 takes near 1/2 an hour to finish draining.
That’s the downfall of having a shop changing the oil, they don’t allow enuf time for a good drainage of the block. At most my mechanic lets it drain 12-15 min, the time to lube and change the filter
@@kenm4678 I have a 2 wd dr also but figured the location of the sway bar was in the same place for either drive system. One time I seen my guy make a helluva mess when he was changing the oil, popped the plug quickly and the oil came shooting out and splashing all over the floor. It’s that reason that I haven’t changed my oil in my driveway
@@pathunter7003 If not 2 vs 4wd then it's the year difference between my son's 2019 and my 2017 2wd. My 2017 2wd has the sway bar 2 inches farther back than my son's F150.
The only problem with these valves is, the pan is a side drain hole instead of bottom hole, so the inside lip of the ronnin keeps the bottom 2 ounces from coming out. Those bottom 2 ounces are where most of the sludge will build up.
After having done this at least 5x since this video, I’d say it’s an additional 1.5 2minutes of draining. A fair trade off considering I’m not spending ANY time cleaning up oil with my old plug.

Great video and great product. I ordered the Ronnin oil plug. I'm always proud to support another American company 💪😎
Thank you for saying that. It is refreshing. Not a whole lot of US companies making stuff anymore. Thanks again. I’ll see you in the next video 🤙🏻

Great video plan on doing mine this weekend nice 75 degrees here in Texas.
Thank you! Enjoy that weather….23 degrees over here 🥶
I store my ronan oil plug with an old siphon hose attached to it in the swingout tailgate store bin. Definitely worth it.
Perfect idea. May have to steal that one.

Very smart. Thanks you!

Your funnel works good with the ford plug. Pull the plug right into that big red funnel works good.
Great video bro! You broke it down to the T!
Thank you man. I do my best. 🙌🏻
Thanks for hopping me to the ronin plug you should see my drive way there is oil all over it man.
My pleasure man. It’s a must have IMO if you do your own changes. Thanks for picking my video to watch. I appreciate you.
Awesome video, I bought the same RONIN drain plug…game changer! Running AMSOIL Signature Series 100% synthetic 5W30 oil is also a game changer!🤙🏽
Thanks for the info!
I have one on my 2018 and it's the best money I've spent on my truck.
People hate on the price but after 2 or 3 oil changes you quickly realize it’s totally worth it. Thanks for watching brother.
Just ordered a Ronin drain plug! Will be testing it out soon. Thank you for the info 😎
Nice man! Enjoy!!!
Well built piece. Definitely quality stuff.

And make damn sure you can open the hood before you drain the oil.

It can be undone like a normal drain plug as well worst case scenario

Awesome tutorial.
Great video and information on it. Definitely going to look into getting that for sure. Thanks for that my friend.👍👍👍
Absolutely man. Thanks for checking out my videos. 🙏🏻
Do you ever change the oring on the factory’s oil pan plug?
Awesome video! Thanks so much!!
The oil pan link in the description doesn’t bring any results on Amazon. The link looks broken or the product is unavailable. Any other link you could send?
Great videos man! Keep it up
Thank you for saying that. 🤙🏻
My same vehicle 😍 let’s see the video.
What a out an external pump to remove the oil prior to change?
Don’t think that is necessary but you could definitely do that if you had one.
Will the plug fit on a 2016 F-150?
Curious if anyone uses this with skid plates that have an access door to the drain plug. Looks like this ronin plug would be harder to use than a Fumoto since the piece needs to be screwed in to release oil.
Does this work for the 2022 powerboost???

@@kenm4678 ha, mine is an ‘18 , so right in the middle of your yrs of trucks
Great video! TY! I'm curious, why no hood liner on your truck?
Not sure. Didn’t come with it.
Nice oil plug and great demo, but $60 on Amazon? I think I can put up with a little splash for that.
I don’t blame you. If you have a driveway that you really don’t want any spills on it’s worth it.
Do you still remove the entire unit after all the oil drains to get that last little bit of oil on the bottom of the pan?
I do, the ronin plug is nice to minimize the mess but still leaves a few ounces in the oil pan. I pull out the ronin every oil change
Need special tool. To remove oil filter what am I to do .
What is you make and model of vehicle?
The only problem with these valves is, the pan is a side drain hole instead of bottom hole, so the inside lip of the ronnin keeps the bottom 2 ounces from coming out.
Those bottom 2 ounces are where most of the sludge will build up.
Debating on this or UPR… any advice?
I haven’t tried UPR but the Ronin is rock solid.
The oil plug is not available on Amazon…

@@Benjamin06267485 that’s weird. When I click it, it says available.
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼😎lo voy hacer!! gracias😃
Bueno!! De nada!!
I'll use an oil change pump. No mess, no hassle.
If ya got one that’s a great option. Thanks for watching man.
doesnt work on 2.7
Does it get all the oil out with the oil pump?
If anyone is curious, the oil filter housing calls for 18ft-lbs
Thanks for that!
Did I hear a "that's what she said" at around the 10:25 mark? 😆
…..must have been a weird editing glitch or something.
yes you did.
Yes, I like to wait 20 minutes for my oil pan to drain
After having done this at least 5x since this video, I’d say it’s an additional 1.5 2minutes of draining. A fair trade off considering I’m not spending ANY time cleaning up oil with my old plug.
Where was this video yesterday when I changed the oil in my 2.7 😂
Lol! Sorry man. I have to change mine again here soon. It’s a MUCH more enjoyable process with this thing. Don’t mind doing it at all really.
Is it cheaper to do your own oil changes? Does it impact your warranty to do your own oil changes?
Hey man! Yes it is cheaper. No it will not affect your warranty.
TWSS 🤣 cracking up!
Hahah! It was too easy.
Cool video! We have launched the 6500K led headlight bulb, would you like to try it? I have contacted you by email, hope to collab with you, thanks.
I have the Ronin..so much better than the yellow piece of crap it came with
I agree!
You just need more patience with the drain plug
Imagine a world where people will pay $70 to replace your oil drain plug. No thanks
80 bucks for a plug? F that.
such a shit design by ford
Agreed
Agreed
80$ on amazon in case someone is interested
