Oil Change on a CAT299D - What NOT to do
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Hopefully this can help others changing their CAT's engine oil. Not a fun project for the ill prepared. I recommend having plenty of shop cloths, oil drip pans, and a box of kitty litter handy for spills!
Also make sure you have your PPE; eye, skin, and ear protection is key!

Next time just put the plug back in it. Even if it doesn’t have the threads tightened it will stop a majority of the oil coming out.
Agreed! I did a dumb thing and panicked
@@MakersAcres we al can’t be perfect on the first try!
Watching this guy fumble his way through this has made my day better I don’t feel so bad about it taken 3 hours to find the AC charging port…
Thanks… I think
It is a learning curve!
Oh ya! Sadly a had second spill with the new oil drain pan as the holes were not drilled big enough for it! Ugh!
Thanks for the laugh. I needed a laugh today.
Glad I could help!
Wow, just wow. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ya…. Oooops
Time to invest in a breaker bar lol
Also this video is from 3 years ago?
@@scottwolowich6492 So... Kind of. We've been filming episodes for a while now. I knew I wanted to launch a UA-cam channel when we started working on our homestead, and had more fun stuff to share. Now that we are a little further along, and because of the Pandemic and being furloughed, I have been able to focus on editing videos. Editing videos isn't as easy as changing oil!
Yes, I do have one now!
Did u think it’s a car?
I have a RAM 3500 with a 5.9L diesel and this thing has a drain plug twice the size!
Did you know Diesel engines typically have a lot more oil capacity? Now you do! Hahaha… get a large drain pan bro!
Haha. I wasn’t prepared for the size of that drain plug considering how small that engine is compared to my Ram 3500. It’s was a great learning experience.
That’s how I usually learn too! Making big messes and breaking stuff lol. Thanks for the fun video ❤
@@maximkushner7911 thanks for watching and commenting!
How's the driveway cleaning up?
I did get it cleaned up! You can see a time-lapse of that in my pressure washer video.
Funny shit…
Ya. Oooops!

It was super bad!
