AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on UA-cam are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra!

Here's the magic 2-WAY OIL FILTER WRENCH amzn.to/3y3k3Yq
Never thought an oil change video could be so entertaining! Fun video! After TWO “professional” oil change places neglected to snug up our drain plug (it was leaking) I considered just doing it myself going forward. This video makes me also question if it’s worth it…
Entertaining video.
1. Torque wrench is used only for installing threaded nuts/bolts. Do not use to remove threaded nuts/bolts.
2. Cardboard under the vehicle reduces the mess.
3. Use a punch to poke a hole in the bottome of your oil filters and it will cause less of a mess.
4. A lot of new oil containers are now 5 quarts. Check before you purchase.
5. Being 96 degrees outside, I'd skip running the engine to make the oil hotter. It will flow just fine.
If you are still looking for a new tow vehicle that will save you a lot of aggrivation and will pull your Airstream easily. Get a Ford F-250/350 with the 7.3 litre gas engine. A lot less cost on routine maintenance than a diesel. Easy oil change at 8 quarts and you have enough room under the 4wd truck to do an oil change without ramps.
Thanks for the entertainment. It was awesome!
You might regret later on tightening those filters down with that tool. I have always only tightened oil filters "hand tight". When you use a tool they tend to get stuck on the mounts and if you're lucky and with some great effort they will turn off. I have helped friends in the past that have tightened the filter on with a wrench and have had to chisel the old filter off the engine, not fun at all.... All in all another great video and I am glad that those ramps didn't collapse while Seemore was sitting on them.
No tools yes only hand tight
I agree and it looked like he tightened too much. He will need that new tool to get it off however 😊.
Yeap
My oil change guy may regret it. 😂
I agree…
Use oil to lube the seal, also you should really pour some oil into the filter prior to installing it
Very true, Vaseline will break down quickly at those temperatures.
i always just used a little of fresh oil on the gasket when i put a new filter on.
Wasn’t it the oil pump?
I think fresh oil handles the heat better
Hey Sean! Thanks for the entertaining and educational video. I love the running stream of consciousness commentary, it reminds me that I am not alone when I do the same during projects.
That is so true!!!😂
You’re fortunate of the position of your filters, it wouldn’t hurt to fill them with oil before installing.
It helps with dry start up.
...and that was the first time I've seen somebody use vaseline to rub across the rubber gasket. Nothing wrong with that, because vaseline is petroleum jelly. You can also just dip your finger in the regular oil and spread it around the gasket.
@@gj4578 yes, in general vaseline should not be used as it can swell and or deteriorate gaskets and o-rings. Those big filters are mounted facing up so fill 'em while out, finishing with a swipe of the finger over the gasket with the same oil. No big air traps and oil on startup.
Also to avoid oil running down your arm knock a whole in the old filter at the bottom
Frequent Oil change DIY tip: When putting new filters on, only use hands to tighten. Using the wrench to tighten sometimes leads to over-tightening (aka SUPER-hard to remove next time). Luckily, next time will be outsourced, eh? If you must use a tool, don’t exceed 3/4-1 rotation after gasket contacts surface.
If you can find the filters from K&N you can remove those with a regular socket. No need for oil filter tool.
that was the most unexpected LOLOHO video subject matter ever recorded but because of Sean's humor, this video, like all the others, was thoroughly enjoyed!
Thanks! You know, it’s kind of funny, but I have found myself watching stuff on UA-cam and the Internet that I never otherwise would have watched. It’s kind of like a cooking video. Sometimes it is fun just to watch someone else Cook. If you liked it, please share because I think this video is off to a slow start. 😂 I really appreciate your kind comments.
Sean.... that was hilarious!!! True life is always fun to watch!! 94°F Humidity probably 90% I go thru the same thing every year on my 04 duramax!! Busted knuckles, misplaced tools , forgotten steps... lotsa mumbling and trucker language... Kristy was a trooper hanging with you the whole time!!
One way to change your oil is to use a metal punch in the bottom of your oil filter, so you don't get slammed and Let the oil drain out.
lol for a person that had no idea what he was doing. I am very impressed. You did awesome job lol 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Thanks, I’m sure there will be several Monday morning quarterbacks here in the common section who will criticize my techniques. I have never claimed to be a diesel technician… While I can handle the basics usually of turning a wrench. I’ve done enough oil changes at this point to at least avoid the most obvious mistakes, but of course, there is always room for improvement. Anyway, I appreciate your watching and the positive feedback! 🔧
Good job. My only recommendation would be to replace the oil drain plug with a fumoto valve. Also on my 7.3 f250 a 5 gallon bucket fits under the oil pan. No need for ramps. 6.0 may or may not have the same clearance. If it does, no need for the $50 drain pan or the ramps.
I second the use of the fumoto valve, it works great.
I ordered one for my 6.7 after changing the oil as well
@@markwagner6353 Fumoto drains are great, but.... on an engine like this, or my Cummins, having it hanging down where it can get knocked off, is not good.
@CharlesinGA yes I have checked out the Fumito valve after reading Mark’s comment. I will probably give it a try, but having it exposed beneath the engine would make me a little nervous. With my luck, whatever can go wrong tends to go wrong 😂
Here is a hint and helpful tip for changing the oil in any vehicle but especially your 6.0 L Ford. Buy a pair of long sleeve rubber gloves. When putting the gloves on, fold a 1" cuff on the gloves, and in this way when the oil runs down your arm the cuff with catch it so it doesn't run further down arm.
Sean, if you want to feel a little better about that $50 oil drain pan I've got 2 of them. I was in Florida and couldn't find an oil change place that could fit my 11 ft. tall rig in their shop. I already had one $50 or there about oil drain pan at home but I had to buy another one when I was in Florida and had to change my oil myself. Now for the drain plug gaskets, if they are sold copper you can heat them on your propane stove in your rig until they are red hot. Then let them air cool (do not quench) and they will be soft and will work again. I have reused the head gasket on an old Triumph motorcycle many times by doing this. Keep the good stuff coming.
Not going to pile on with all the other youtube heros with what you shoulda coulda done. Love your content.
Please, please get good steel ramps for next time!!! Also, to make the next oil change easier, only hand-tighten the filters. Another trick to get the filters to seal well, you dip your finger into the new oil and use that for lube. And the drain plug should be tight but you don't need to kill it. Otherwise, you could strip the plug and/or the oil pan by over-tightening. All these tricks I use and seem to work.
Please keep up the great work!
I agree with you. Those ramps are not looking so hot with the weight of the truck. I've used 2x8 wood boards to do similar on our 13K pound class-a RV.
Well it's not as glamorous as a Battleborn install, but it was fun to watch. Reminds me of doing the Chevy 454 RV, the wife's BMW and my 1973 Opel GT. If you like for a future video, post a Blackstone oil analysis result of Seemore's next oil change. Thanks again for a fun video.
I have a 2012 with the 6.7 - still 13 qts of dirty oil. It costs about $100 for just the parts so no way I'm taking it to an oil change place for someone barely qualified to change oil. to make it easier - punch a hole in the bottom of the filter and be patient - let the oil drain out and it won't spill around the edges so much. Also - don't use Vaseline on rubber - it degrades it. Just put your finger in the new oil and spread on the rubber seal - that's all you need. Also, you don't need to torque the filter down - that's why its so hard to get off. I've been changing my own oil since I began driving in the mid 1970s. Why pay someone else to do something you can do - in the time it would take to drive to the easy lube and back? Thanks for the video
I've been changing my own oil for decades and never saw a filter wrench like that. I just ordered one... looks like it's perfect for those impossible to reach filters. Thanks!
Coupla' things...
1. Check the oil dipstick when level before starting as you'll want to compare volume of old oil out to new oil in.
2. The front of those ramps collapsed only because you drove over them. Have a spotter or hold up a bit before you hit the front edge.
3. An elegant oil changer will have all tools and parts needed laid out on a large fresh sheet of cardboard that will also collect any splashes or spills and he/she will wear the same pair of nitrile gloves from start to finish.
4. After pulling the magnetic oil drain plug, inspect and wipe it!
5. If you released the pressure in the oil system by loosening the filler cap and pulling dipstick out a bit, I missed it.
6. The new jugs you emptied out are the perfect vessel to dump old oil back into. This way you can also compare from step 1.
7. An extra quarter turn by hand is all the filter needs after mating tight.
8. While the oil is draining, this is YOUR opportunity to inspect for any road damage, brake condition and other things while you're under there. Use a pinpoint flashlight and follow every path as far as you can see. Many times this discovery will be the most valuable reason for doing it yourself. Being personally familiar with condition or issues provides confidence no simple oil change tech can deliver.
9. After emptying out your drain pan take that flashlight and look for any shiny specs that might indicate excessive wear.
10. Finally, having saved yourself at least $150 in unnecessary charges, you KNOW it was done right and as such, also saved yourself a couple of hours and potentially much much more, so enjoy the beer and a break.
Sean, what he said!
Good ramps are made by Rhino Ramps. I have them...holds my Suburban no problem and they are 30 years old.
Oil filter wrenches are to be used to remove filters. Not used to put them on. Hand tighten those oil filters...spin on until they meet the surface snug and then about 1/2 turn by hand. Using the wrench will make them very hard to take off next time. If you can't get in there to hand tighten them, use the wrench but go easy.
Stock up on the correct drain plug washer/gasket once you find the correct one...keep them with the spare oil filters and oil at home. Eliminates problems later. Buy oil/filters when on sale.
Next time...try using a 1 gallon freezer zip lock bag once you get the oil filter loose but before it begins to drip, slide the bag over the filter then spin it off. That helps will the spills and mess.
Drain plugs do not need to be sinched down like a nut and bolt. Get it tight but just enough to compress the copper, just snug enough so it won't work loose.
Also, it's recommended NOT to use those oil change joints as they usually have fresh to the industry oil changers on staff who are not experienced enough to know the full process. They proved that to you by not replacing the oil filler cap...not impossible to do but for a place that does that all day long, a big mistake. Also, they are a risk vs your local mechanic.
A few tips to make your next oil change more pleasant.
I stopped changing my own oil 15 years ago. I stopped changing my own headlight and tail light bulbs about 9 years ago when I watched 5 UA-cam videos for the Ford Edge I owned. Needed an engineering degree to change the headlight!
I have the same upgrade on the same exact truck. For the main oil filter, you can take off that rock shield to get a normal strap wrench in there. And to prevent oil from running down your hand, puncture the end of the filter with a screw driver and drain the oil still in the filter and lines leading to it. Add a Fumoto value under the oil pan for tool less draining.
I like the idea but would only use it i it is protected from being damaged.
@@larrybe2900 what part of what I said are you referring to? Once you're done with the filter change, you put the shield back on.
I was referring to the oil pan drain. It can be vulnerable to be compromised during travel. Then the engine most likely will be toast.
looking forward to see you guys hit the trail again. Will be watching for sure...safe travels....
Sean, if u know u r going to change oil, put ur truck on ramps, after u buy appropriate oil and let truck sit for 24-48 hrs.
Oil will b cold, but that is a good thing. Bc, this way, I have found that ALL THE OLD OIL, after 48hrs, is n drain pan. U now will remove MOST, if not all the old oil, and u will be starting with mostly, NEW OIL.
I have changed my oil this way for yrs, and have had ZERO problems with any oil
For the oil drain pan, I used a cement mixing tub from Home Depot for under $8.
Thanks I will check it out! I have four or five oil drain pans here in the house. The one I used in the video is good because it is deep and the oil is less prone to splash out. Our other vehicles, of course, contain much less oil so splashing is less of a problem
@@LongLongHoneymoon The tub doesn't allow you to pour the oil into a bottle easily. There's no spout, but it is large. You can slide it under the oil filters to catch the overflow when unscrewing the filters.
I am thinking putting the tub into a large trash bag. The bag acts like a liner to the tub. You scoop out the oil using a disposable cup or something. Then you turn the bag inside out and capture the oil inside the bag that you can drain into another container. This will leave the tub clean.
I did the same bypass oil filter system on my diesel, but I also have a commercial account with Amsoil and that’s the oil you should stick with on that truck or Delo 400. That’s just my opinion, but I’ve been told by the best mechanics to do this and Ford does approve Amsoil.
As a son of a diesel mechanic this was a hilarious video. You really did a great job. Love the commentary and lube jokes. In reality at 95 degrees you probably didn’t need to warm up the truck.
Thanks, I needed to go to the parts store to grab the drain plug washers anyway. Appreciate your comments!
@@LongLongHoneymoon love your channel even though you are an Alabama fan. Husker Power 🤣🤣
When it comes to changing oil on my 2001 super duty, I prefer to do it myself that way I know it is done right. I had my oil changed at a shop and they charged me in excess of 350.00 and I can purchase the oil and filters for $125.00. Then the next time the shop serviced my differentials and did not add friction modifier in and ruind the cluches in my rear differential... Also for lube on the rubber gasket you should just use oil, the petrolium jelly will rot the rubber seal..
BTW, you have an awesome father-in-law! Nice filter wrench.
Feels good to have new oil circulating through the desiel engine. At least you know the engine is adequately maintained.
Most filters, like yours, and my Cummins filter, are so difficult to get your hand around, you gotta give it an extra tightening with the wrench. I do it all the time, have for years, never have a problem getting them off. I don't trust anyone else to work on my stuff, i've been wrenching for 50 years now. Just drive a couple of hours southeast to 'jawja (Georgia for you non-southerners) and I'll do the job for you, and won't make a mess.
This was very entertaining. I change my own oil and you used the right amount of expletives. Why do they put oil filters in odd places and why must they leak oil when you are unscrewing them. I hope you learned your lesson. I will be buying one of those filter wrenches.
I really don't know why I watched this video but it was entertaining. Thanks for the video.😊
i have a ford also you might try a K&N oil filter it has a 1 inch nut on the bottom of the filter so you can take it off with a socket
Falstaff ribald, double entendre humor appreciated. Your sweat of your brow affirms the reason to have an air conditioned garage in the Deep South.
Just a FYI Amsoil oil filters are made by Wix filters for Amsoil And Wix filters are the best you can buy
Very entertaining video Sean, I have used amsoil in my last two trucks and I've gotten 300,000 miles with absolutely no mechanical breakdown I highly recommend amsoil synthetic oil. Thanks for all of your camping videos that you and your wife produce
I watched this out of pure loyalty to you guys...looked painful in so many ways.
Almost as painful as cheering for the Vols. Next time I will wear my Tennessee shirt during the miserable dirty sweaty part. That was a missed opportunity! 😜
@@LongLongHoneymoon hurtful...What the F...see what I did there?
I purchased a full box of drain plug gaskets...... lower cost per unit and I always have them on hand.
My last diesel engine took 42 quarts of oil......
I personally changed my fuel filter with every or every other oil change. Depends on miles between oil change.
Thanks Sean just goes to show you if you want it done right gotta do it yourself.
Thank for the laughs. You made my day. I have loved your videos.
Can't wait to see your video on replacing frame rail fuel filter.
Ha! A few people have suggested I do that. I must admit it would be a good idea to change those fuel filters… Oh no… 🤦♂️😜
Add a 16 oz. Bottle of Archoil 9100 to your oil.
I recommend you pass on the Cyberjunk.
Had to laugh when i assume was Krsity chuckling in the background when you got filthy taking the filter off! Just like a wife!😂
I got sprayed with oil too, so I just had to laugh! 🤣🤷🏼♀️
oil running down your arm is the money shot.
One consideration is a new diesel will be approximately $100,000+. Travel distance doesn't seem to be a problem for you. I think you will purchase Tesla and be happy outside of extreme cold climates.
I usually change my oil on my GMC so I definitely feel your pain and I only have one oil filter. It’s kinda help knowing others have all the same issues I have. I was surprised how those ramps tried to collapse a little when you pulled up on them. Not good.
I was teaching my son to do this after he was shocked at what they charged. After doing it himself, he decided the extra $20 to pay someone else to do it on his vehicle was worth his time. He has the tools and knowledge now.
How many times did you say “Lord have Mercy “
Great job!
We have enjoyed watching. 😊
We have a similar for diesel and I’ve always believed in having the oil changes done outside of the house and after watching your video I am glad that I do believe I’m getting the oil changes done at the repair shop. We found your video to be most informative and very Entertaining thank you for that. 😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's a heavy load for those questionable looking ramps. Along time ago I decided to make my own. 2 x 10 lumber, basically one lies flat, another one's a little shorter on top of that, repeat. Bevel the edge 45°. Glue and fasten together. It will never ever fail.
I've been using leftover paving stone bricks 1 ft x 1 ft x 1.5 inch thick and put them under the tire once I jack up each side. Each side takes 3 bricks stacked. Parking brake on and chock rear wheels.
Yeah Sean, after watching you change oil, I agree with you... some guys are better off letting someone else do it 😉
So hilarious! I decided to start doing my own oil changes again since the dealership charged me nearly $200 for an oil change the last time. I just changed the oil in my Ram 2500 Hemi 6.4 truck and it was so easy, but boy was I sore today! LOL!
Torque wrench is not for loosening.
Thank you for the most entertaining oil change video ever!!
I had a gas 460 before this one was at a fair so i let valvlean change the oil. Went back it set there for 4 days i hooked up to canper and went to pull out in mud. Check engine light cam on i checked the oil it was 3qts low it held 6. Lucky i had 6 qts with me to change it myself. My dad lost an engine there they didnt titen the drain plug. Next car first oil change same thing. My son came in behind him oil trail from about 300 ft from drive way to garage door.
Changing oil is good for your color! No blush necessary. :)
Makes for a great weight loss program also. Recommend doing it outside on the hottest day of the year for best results. 😂
very entertaining! You should do more videos like this.
I used to do my own oil changes years ago...then I "wised up" and started paying other people to do them...then I "wised up" recently and started doing them myself again. Aside from knowing it was done correctly, as you do them you get faster and more efficient. The first time is always the hardest and longest but once you get a few under your belt it's second nature. And as long as you're putting miles on the truck you'll be doing them with some frequency. The problem is doing them on a vehicle that doesn't get much use. You forget how to do oil changes because you're hardly doing any at all.
Oil? They put that in at the factory don't they? :) When I was young and poor I did a lot of my own auto maintenance and repair. I quickly learned to use eye protection. Especially when working under the vehicle.
Not going to lie Sean, That was painful to watch Sir. From someone that has been doing my own oil changes on my cars, trucks and motorcycles since I was a teenager. But don't give up a wise man once said practice makes perfect.
@longlonghoneymoon I learned only last year after changing my own oil for the past 40yrs that when possible, after loosening the oil filter I use a RED SOLO cup to put on the oil filter. Now when I continue to loosen the filter the oil stays in the cup rather than running down my arm. Just food for thought. Maybe it will work for you also. Good luck.
GENIUS idea!!! Best suggestion yet! 🙌👍
It’s not a fun job, but because of the bi-pass filter it is best to just do it yourself. I like to fill my filter with oil before installing.
If I had a covered garage, all the tools, step by step video instructions, and patience to change my oil and filter in my car, I might consider it. In the mean time, I am outsourcing this important task every 6 months or 5K miles. 😉
When you so easily hefted the ramp to show the camera, I wondered if they were as lightweight as they appeared to be. One time use?
I used to change my own oil to save money years ago. After watching, I’m really glad I don’t do that anymore. It was very entertaining though.😂
Lmao
Thanks for the entertainment!!!
I’m actually right now heading out to my garage to do an oil change on my 7.3
Almost bought the Amsoil bypass system but decided to go with the Insane Diesel system.
Got tired of crawling under the truck so I will standing up doing my oil change as I have a four post lift in my garage 😃
I also use a five gallon bucket and lid from Home Depot for my used oil.
Come on over next time you want to change your oil.
Thanks. We have large empty swimming pool chlorine containers that make for excellent dirty oil transportation. I did include a short clip of the container at the end although I did not show the entire process of emptying out the old oil. You are correct, that is an important part of the process and it’s all part of doing it yourself. 👍
I edited my post after I watched the last bit of
The video 😂😂
Didn’t see that at first
Ohh yeah…it’s like a drinking game!
As a 6.0 owner myself, I would suggest using a better quality oil and definitely use synthetic. 6.0’s are great engines but can be a little finicky. I have had great luck with Schaffers and using Archoil additive. Keeps the injectors quiet and the engine running smooth. The oil changes are expensive, though.
21 years using rotella 15w40 T4 on my 6..0s no issues.
@@alwaysconfused4988 I just noticed a noticeable difference changing from Rotella to Schaffers. Rotella never gave me problems, but Schaffers helped fuel mileage, injectors and still is pretty clean at change intervals. Just an opinionated suggestion.
Safety glasses! You're upside-down, looking up at loose dirt, rust, and hand tools.
Enjoyed this video. Thank you and hope you have healed up by now.
I have steel ramps. The plastic ones aren’t enough for a 3/4 ton truck! Harry can probably lend you good ramps too. Be careful and I hope we’ll see you in New England again soon.
Bro! You drove though GATES to get to your home! I am sure you can afford a $50 drain pan. HAHA Oreilly's is proud of some things. I paid $39 around 2000 but I am still using it 24 years later... but it is just plastic molded.
My son in law came over for help doing his 1st oil change. I gave him the tools and told him how to do it. I said if you're doing it right, you'll be swearing. OMG I never heard so much swearing!
I'm glad you're keeping Seemore. I really believe you would have regretted buying that cyber truck. Funny you posted this video today cause I just had someone change my Trailblazer's oil this evening. Hadn't been done in a very long time. I was complacent but I have seen the light and will change my evil ways. Happy trails ! Can't wait to see where you go this Fall. Be well, lovely couple.
@@Pack.Leader I can see him pulling the trailer in the Tesla truck when it runs out of power in the middle of nowhere and he'll be recharging it with a generator.
That claw you used is the best thing to use to get a filter off. I noticed that you didnt fill your oil filter before starting. I didn't know you could do that. Thats for the video Sean, look forward to seeing yall on the road.
You should pre fill if possible otherwise you have to wait critical seconds waiting for the filter to fill before it gets to the engine. I normally also lube the ring with that same oil
Pick the keep seemore option!! I have a 2006 6.0 bulletproofed too and we tow our trailer all over. I do all my own work on it too. Keep the 6.0 goin! It’ll give me hope 😅
I put new tires on this week also 😄 the wheels have not fallen off yet! Honestly, a big reason I bought a diesel in the first place was to get a long life out of the vehicle!
@@LongLongHoneymoon I’m a Ford truck guy for years but I bought a 3500 Ram to pull my fifth wheel mainly because I wanted the 6.7 Cummins diesel.
Keep Seemore. I have a 2001 E350 7.3 . Couldn’t wait to get rid of “ol’ stinky” so I reserved a Cybertruck . After seeing the 90 mile fully loaded towing range there is no way I’m dropping that kind of money on that truck. Musk originally promised over 500 miles (I figured 250 towing) of range for the Tri-motor which is what I originally reserved. Keep in mind that my wife drives a model Y which is amazing and we use it for long trips utilizing the supercharger network. When Tesla builds a tow vehicle capable of 250 miles fully loaded I’ll buy it. Save your pennys.
@ralphnolletti9988 yeah it’s hard to get too excited about a 90 mile towing range 🤦♂️ I really like a lot of things about cyber truck, and I know that only one would make for some very interesting and entertaining videos. But from a financial standpoint, it’s very hard to justify. Our old Diesel truck, for all of its wrinkles and warts, is a superior tow vehicle.
@@LongLongHoneymoon give the Cybertruck a couple more years of production. No doubt the price will drop and mileage may get a boost with the next generation 4680 cells or a different cell altogether. I have hopes of a new van with a big battery but that could be years away. In the meantime I’ll just keep the radio cranked to 11 to drown out the 7.3 sitting beside me in the doghouse and enjoy the silence of my wife’s model Y.
Hey, you need to do the fuel filters next.
Nice to see Harry 😊
Yes, entertaining video as always 😅
Keep your money and keep Seemore!
Sean as usual beautiful video. You kept me going today on the elliptical laughing the whole time 😅😅😅
I change all of my oil myself. That way I know it's done right.
This is very friendly reminder that I will never change oil in any of our vehicles ever again!!! Thank You Sean!
Haha no kidding 😂 sometimes it makes sense just to pay a professional
The problem is, they aren't professional - which is why you didn't pay someone to do yours. My husband does his own oil changed after trying to go to various reputable shops.
Hope you can afford a new engine. I don't trust any of those jiffy lube places. Those guys are not real or experienced mechanics. Just sayn'.
Funny as all get out! Thanks for sharing. 😂😅
Practice makes perfect, good to see ya’ll again
Yes, I’m going to gather together all of the tools used in this job and have them ready for the next time change the oil. Practice does make perfect, and I will reference this video. Thanks for your comments!
I was curious what was different about you're Ford as to the eluding to a complicated engine oil change and indeed that setup would confuse shops that are not familiar with aftermarket oddities like this. There is one thing that I have to wonder how many people neglect or don't think about when going through the motions of changing their own engine oil and that is greasing the vehicle, be it ujoints if any are greaseable as well as all greaseable suspension parts. With more and more vehicles claiming they can have long drain intervals which is a whole other topic, the suspension is not getting greased as often as it should be even if a proper shop is doing the work.
Now that’s keeping it real!
You over tightened those filters. A little over snug will do. You’re going to have a hell of a time taking those off.
Now that was just downright entertaining. Thanks for the grins.
A JF Sebastian in Blade Runner reference. Nice! 😊
No CyberTruck!
Hard to tell from the video but it looks like you could take the wheels off and access the filter from the side maybe?
Good call on the Jack stands, those ramps looked pretty scetchy
If you forget to buy a new oil pan plug copper gasket an old trick is to just flip it upside down from what it was and it will reform and seal the hole with the plug.
