I find it important to open the 2.7 filter before and during the drain. Else it retains about half quart of oil. Don’t drain first, replace drain plug, then change the filter. Fully drained takes a nice even 6 quarts.
@@TheREIstory it puts the ECM in "flood clear" mode, which disables the injectors, allowing the oil pump to fill the filter and galleys before you start the engine.
@@208Concepts awesome I'll do that next time. Will it just keep turning over? I've got a 2017 so it's push to start. Is there a different sequence for that model of 2.7?
@@TheREIstory they have a cranking timer I believe. It's all CAN based on these so just floor it and push the button. On my Rangers, being basic, I had to hold the key to keep it cranking.
I'm glad my 2022 Ford F-150 is only the "lowly" smaller 2.7 liter EcoBoost, lol. That cartridge style engine oil filter up top is very nice! Some says there's no anti-drain back valve in the cartridge style filter element so the 2.7 liter EcoBoost motor will experience "dry starts' if all the motor oil is allowed to drain back down to the oil pan like say if truck is left parked overnight etc. Don't know if this is true or not? There is a kit from Baxter Performance that swaps from the Ford cartridge style filter to a more conventional canister style oil filter like their 500s or Ford Performance filter you're using on your 2022 3.5 liter EcoBoost F-150. This Baxter Performance kit still keep the canister filter up top in the engine bay in the same location as the previous cartridge style filter, but it's kind of expensive, lol. I just got some MPT Performance "custom" tunes on my 2.7 liter EcoBoost F-150 + am liking them. Soon I'll have brand-new 1 step colder ruthenium spark plugs put in a big CV Fabrication Titan V2 performane intercooler put in & then I'll have some tune revisions done too! Interested to know what you think of your updated tune revisions on your 2022 Ford F-150 3.5 liter EcoBoost.
The anti-drainback valve, ain’t. Is an anti-back flush valve. Proof? Next oil change lay your old filter on its side full of oil. Will be empty in 30 minutes. The “drain back” flap is leaky. The 2.7 has whatever Ford engineers want built into the engine.
On the 2.7? It may not be, if you’re changing every 3-5k like you should. But do it anyway because a new filter comes with new seals. It’s kind of a “why not” situation. Average cost? Hmmm, I’d charge 175-200$ if I was doing it. Oil isn’t cheap, it’s like 70$ for 6 quarts and a filter.

I thought I was one of the only ones to do a flood clear initial start 🤣
Can you explain the point of this mechanically? Just curious. Never done it but I own a 2.7 and do all of my own oil changes.

@@208Concepts Appreciate your help. Also, did he flash back to stock before the oil change?? What's the point in that...

Is it really Necessary to replace O rings on the oil filter each time you replace it? What's the average cost for the job?
