@John Doe bet a good percentage of mechanics would disagree with you, I do. Working on engines for over 40 years from lawn mowers to aircraft. I love watching dirty oil drain.
unless the cross member is right under the filter like on most Cummins ISX engines. I just twist it off since it'll make a mess anyway and spray it down with brake cleaner.
That one oil change you did on your "Freight-shaker" used more oil than I've put in my Honda Civic in its lifetime of almost ten years. Granted I don't put miles on my vehicles like I used to, but even so! I've done every oil change on every vehicle that I've owned, and I got my first one in 1976. I like doing routine maintenance for the same reasons you said: I can catch developing problems earlier and I trust the mechanic I see in the bathroom mirror more than I do the "pros".
I'll bet it has a lot to do with, shall I say the "culture" of trucking. When it comes to such a complicated machine and being able to lose a trucking companies' brand loyalty on a 1c/mile cost savings, one of the last things you are going to do is make a mechanic's job difficult or complicated.
I was curios to see if this would be any different than your typical card or pickup, but I'm surprised the process is pretty much identical. I also really like how you articulated everything, as well as the suggestions from experience. Its nice to know that my dad taught me how to change me own oil the right way, filling up the filter and running oil on the gasket and all. Great video, I like you.
If the roadkill guys tried doing this, they would end up breaking the radiator, make it puke transmission fluid all over the floor, make the brakes stop working, and fry some wires.
Im a diesel mechanic and i do this almost daily, and I've learned to pop a hole in the bottom and drain the filter. Even with crossmembers, just take a small screw driver and a hammer or something to hit it in there.
I have always wanted to see this. My family has been in the trucking industry for years, but I never got to witness an oil change for the big irons. You have a great narrating talent and are very kind and patient in your video. Thanks so much!
reminds me of the good ole days as an owner operator doing my own service, on my rig and my own vehicles, I usually did the fuel filters at the same time, and most of the big rigs had an oil bypass filter aswell, thanks great video.
I work at a freightliner dealership as a mechanic I been a mechanic for 26yr I love them old freightliners good trucks nice video man its good to show people what it takes to keep this country moving
This was actually very fascinating. Im shocked to see the quantities that these trucks take. 11 Gallons of oil! Thats crazy! Great video, I'm glad this poped up as recommended.
Awesome, thanks. I've been certified for about ten years did oil changes on just about everything but a semi. And I'll tell you what. The caterpillar D9 oil filter holds 1 gallon as well! Thanks for posting a semi is one more thing I want to change oil in!
@@steveandrews1982 I know you probably wont see this but im about to start my diesel mechanic apprenticeship, any heads up or tips about working on mainly semi trucks?
@@slumber1896 man there is alot of tips and tricks. I learned just from working on them and having few older heads show me. If you got some mechanical sense lol it's not hard. When working on any parts of the truck that is air operated, make sure you dump the air out. When replacing fuel filters always fill them with fuel so truck will start. Learn how to use a torch, that will be your friend for ignorant bolts lol. I can go on and on.
I used to always remove my car's filter with a piece of 36-grit sand paper, because I couldn't find a wrench that would fit it properly, and it's in an awkward location, sticking out sideways from the back side of the block, facing the firewall (transverse engine). Now I have an adjustable filter wrench that works awesome, so I use that.
you are a great teacher. your explaining how to change the oil and oil filter is awesome. thank you. looking foward to changeing my oil for the first time.
Put an Ecoplug motor oil drain plug takes 1 second to remove and install lasts a lifetime and never leaks installed 3 of these on my riggs AMAZING PRODUCT
I've always like big trucks like this. I live in Long Beach, CA where there are a lot of these trucks because of the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles. I loved watching Ice road truckers. It's always nice learning how stuff works even though I'll most likely never do an oil change on a Freightliner, now I know. Very intriguing video.
+Richard Ojeda thank you Richard. I've always loved trucks. I would go with my Dad when he hauled logs out of the forest. Then later when he hauled other things throughout the U.S. Went to work in a truck shop when I was 17 fixing tires, greasing and changing the oil, etc. Then started driving them when I was 18. They still fascinate me. Glad you liked the video.
If you could please do a video showing us how to do a car oil change, or expanding on the point you made about quick-lube places taking advantage of customers. I know it's happened to me a couple times. Thanks Duke, you're very awesome!
juat stick to a delaership! it might be about 20$ more but thyre actual technitions that are trained mechanics not blow joe off the street! ive had to work on cars that quick lube shops have fucked up and its always not pretty because theyre not trained and have no clue on what theyre doing its annoying

Why? What was so difficult about doing an oil change on this truck? While I agree totally about avoiding quick lube shops, this is an easy DIY job. It's no different than a Honda Civic oil change.
Awesome video sir, I would like to suggest a tip for the old oil filter. as a 310T apprentice during the oil drain I use a center punch or a full shank screwdriver to punch a hole in the bottom of the old filter and allow the oil to drain into the drain pan. this results in an empty filter with no mess or fuss. hope this helps you during future maintenance. Cheers from Canada
Nice video. Nothing beats a nice , do it at your own pace, oil change. I drill three small holes in all my dipsticks, at add, mid, and full. I picked up that idea from my wife's Ford van years ago. The dipstick steel is somewhat springy. I use a 1/16" straight flute carbide drill. That way you can easily see the oil level, even when the oil is new and clear.
sasuke1018 approx. 20k miles is what we at my shop go by, some people will say you can go more and some will say go less, just like with a car, depends on who you ask.
at my work we pour it into a big tank outside that is connected to a oil burning furnace for our shop, so in the end it keeps us warm in the shop and does not cost us money to get rid of. but the filters are a different story, we crush them then put them in a bin and twice a month a company comes and gets them
+Tru Blu Not really. Repco, Auto One. Auto Pro, Autobarn, Supercheap Auto that are with in 25km of me do not have one, their is a waste oil depo 5km from where I live, but they have a 20l per day limit
11 gallons of oil, over a million mile on the engine with out a rebuild plus that oil filter look like it holds more oil then my 4 cyl my head is still spinning at what the cost is on maintence.
My Dad had a problem with a really tight oil filter on his Dodge Ram the first time he changed the oil. I find it helps to smear a little oil on the gasket. On my car I once had an obscenely tight filter too. I am glad that I don't reuse that part because I destroyed it trying to get it off. What fun that is. Another bad thing about tightening the filter too much is if you ruin those threads you are in big trouble!!
I don't think that the threads on an oil filter are hard enough to ruined the female threads it screws in to. But yeah, always hand-tighten, and you would be having the worst day if you stripped that hole. Ugh!
I'm a bit late but I just love watching this video! I have re-watched it about five times and it never gets old! Keep up the good work and have a great day!
Buying my very own semi! In 2 weeks older freight liner. So excited. Thanks for. Info. Plan on saving that extra dough. Been chan6my own oul since early 20ies
An excellent broadcasting and a sympathetic man. But it has always wondered me why American lorry cabs look like that's thrown in with a shovel. Cluttered and confusing, it looks like something from the 1960s. Try to see some of the europerian trucks like. Volvo, Scania, DAF, Mercedes, etc. where orderly and welcoming they are.
Anders Vinther That dashboard is what allows the driver to have total control over the machine, instead of the machine having partial control over itself. We like manual stuff that won't break easily and that we can fix at home when it does. Americans don't have a lot of money and we like being self sufficient. We also kind of think of machines almost like another lifeform and we don't entirely trust them.
well he did corrected that already, but at the wheels the torque gets multiplied way way more, my 3406E at the dyno on direct drive was 10,000 p/f of torque and that was 467 hp, now is even more than back then.
Alex's Bikes and Motors That still wouldn't even be remotely close. Only 450ft lb of torque from a 14.6L Diesel? The F150 3.5L V6 Ecoboost has more torque than that(470ft lbs). It's actually closer to 1,700ft lb.
MarzNet256 I work for a fleet and most of our trucks are freightliners with isx Cummins engines in them. we go about 27,000 between b services that include oil change, fuel filter change, fuel water separator change, full inspection and lube.
Jeremiah Turnberg thats an E service in our shop. B consist of air dryer filter, injector tip, fan hub, crankcase filter, air filter, power steering filter, and coolant filter. :)
depends on the job of the truck, i work for a company that has a bunch of trucks with different jobs. the over the road trucks are every 20k and the local are every 15k. all trucks that are off the road and only get used in the compound are every 6 months. we use mostly volvos with volvo engines and have some internationals which i hate very much and some macks and freightliners, and 1 pete
I think the torque you quoted is wrong. You said 290 foot pounds. I would think like 1290 foot pounds. I have no idea but the torque is way higher than what you stated. I know its way off ..my superduty puts out over 700 at 1800 rpm
I never worked on a big truck or ever got close to a big truck but I was curious to see how it is but wow it is exactly the same as a regular car that's amazing but the amount of oil it takes surprised me and I can't believe how easier it is also like you said More space lol
And really it may not be that it needs all that much. The engine may be 3x in displacement as big as a mustang engine, but it takes about 10x as much oil. It's because the oil change intervals are much longer. They put on 3000 to 5000 miles or more per week. So the interval is about 30k or 6 months for oil changes. Some of the massive generators that run continuously can hold a hundred gallons or more of oil in a tank. Every few hundred hours, it dumps a gallon of old oil into the fuel system and pulls in a gallon of fresh oil from the tank, so it in essence does its own oil changes. You just have to change the filter every so often. I could even see them putting in a valve to alternate filters if they couldn't shut it off ever.
No. working on a big truck is not easier. From a mechanics stand point it "is" easier, but you have to realize its just because as he stated everything is so large and easy to get to, which also translates to needing large equipment or multiple buddies when something large fails..... But for basic stuff like this they're the mechanics dream. But when you have to take and do injectors or timing chains, that's when the fun begins. (just imagine having to replace piston rings.) Oh and did I mention transmission and air brake work ?
I have been changing my own oil for 35 years and never thought to just put a plastic bag around the oil filter!! Great idea! I feel stupid for not thinking to do that all this time!! I have am suv I tow behind my RV, a basic Ford Escape, and the oil drain plug was stripped when I bought it..I needed to change the oil soon so I bought one of those vacuum pump things..Topsider I think..blue metal can with a pump..well that thing makes the oil change much easier! You stick the suction tube down the dipstick line and it pulls the old oil out! Almost every last drop! I would never use on a large truck of course but for a small engine like mine or on marine applications it's a good tool!
Yeah Chris that vacuum pump is a great way to change oil. My goal has always been to not get any oil on myself during the oil changes. So far I've never achieved that goal. I'm like a magnet to oil and grease. Just recently did oil, fuel filter and lube on five water tenders and I was a mess 😫 Awesome motorhome btw.
BeneK as long as you let it all drain it shouldn't matter. I would say letting it run for a little while before you change it is even more important. warm everything up to thin the oil a little so it drains better. but if the oil isn't terrible even that shouldn't matter. just check for sludge. if you see that you have some problems.
Very good video. Can not get over the size of that oil filter it holds as much as a small car would need for it,s whole oil change. When doing a service like that on a truck or suv etc worth checking all lights tire pressures and greasing on truck where necessary plus lubricate hinges on doors etc, and the truck will last a long time!
In my experience working on mostly fleet trucks(mostly volvos). I have found that you have give the oil filter on tighter than hand tight. Due to how much these trucks vibrate. I can think of about 10 times where we have been called out just to tighten oil filters and one time. Replace one of the three filters because it fell off.
Ol cat C-15 there. Good one too with no emission controls. Never seen anyone use a bag over the filter before tho that's a good trick to avoid a mess, I think I'll try it next time. I usually punch a hole in the bottom with a sharpened punch and catch it with the same drain pan
Хобби
It's so satisfying to see the oil come out of the drain plug
Manpal Bajwa yeah for sure it is
Im a diesel tech and I still find it satiafying
Laminar flow is the best.
@John Doe bet a good percentage of mechanics would disagree with you, I do. Working on engines for over 40 years from lawn mowers to aircraft. I love watching dirty oil drain.
TIP: you can drill out the bottom of oil filter so its not as messy when you take it off.
Emkura Fura Šoferski Kanal uuuuhjkl
unless the cross member is right under the filter like on most Cummins ISX engines. I just twist it off since it'll make a mess anyway and spray it down with brake cleaner.
Emkura Fura Šoferski Kanal I just use a hammer and a punch to drain the oil out of the filter
use a punch it works way better... If you use a drill you have a chance of getting oil in it
That filter will drain for a week.
i don't have truck but it was fun to watch. thanks
Georgi Georgiev same here
Agree :D
Same there so cool I'm 11 yea I really love cars and trucks
OMG a bag around the filter....That is brilliant! Never thought of that before!
+TIKIMAN198 oh thanks
Yea I've made such a mess with those things and never thought of a better idea either...!
Take a small punch and make a hole in the bottom of the filter and then let it drain...
+TerminatorD4 , that's the way too it.
i second this, i do it for every truck oil change i do
I know I'll never change a big truck's oil, but I watched the whole thing. Great video!
It's 1800 pounds of torque. My bad!!
Dont these run total loss lubrication with total oil burnoff? Not sure? i heard you just ad oil to them and the motor burns it off as it goes!
I was really confused when you only said 290 foot pounds. when my 99 Chevy 1500 puts out 315 foot pounds. still a great video
that's more like it
I was about to say,, my '68 Dodge Charger with a 440 makes almost twice that torque ;)
Lmao that threw me off big time
Just browsing RUclips at 2:30 am, and somehow I end up watching a video of how to do an oil change on a semi.... Wtf

+Lex Boegen we're cut from the same cloth brother, totally agree.
Your civic holds 5qt of oil? The oil filter on this mother holds 5 qts. Engines are awesome. Some CAT generator setups hold 175gallons+...
That is surprisingly easy, I worked on cars where it is a complete nightmare to get the filter off
oh gQD YAAAA... OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE CAUSE THEIR IN SIDEWAYSS...STUPID ENGINEERS
Mate it depends on the car how hard it is. I got a Volvo pv445 from 1964 and it takes like 30 sec to change the oil and put a new oil filter in
99% of all volkswagen!
I'll bet it has a lot to do with, shall I say the "culture" of trucking. When it comes to such a complicated machine and being able to lose a trucking companies' brand loyalty on a 1c/mile cost savings, one of the last things you are going to do is make a mechanic's job difficult or complicated.

not to mention the lights wouldnt work
They would have to ratchet strap a couple gas cans on the back too.
accurate
And take the hood off
Im a diesel mechanic and i do this almost daily, and I've learned to pop a hole in the bottom and drain the filter. Even with crossmembers, just take a small screw driver and a hammer or something to hit it in there.
When I was in my early 20s both my uncle's were truck drivers I learned how to change oil, coolant,and transmission fluid. It's easy

These videos are so much more educational than that other channel that shows how to pickup a weight and putting it back down
I like the way this guy explains things, its hilarious and reminds me one of my grandparents.
When you're tightening the filter you can use a sandpaper for more grip.
Wouldnt risk causing little damage to the filter? I guess it depends on the gritt though
Just little scratches to the paint, don't worry about it.
Cool thanks bro! Daniel Estrada Morales
But you don't want the filter to be to tight?

Where do you take that much oil to recycle?
Can't imagine my parts store smiling when I walk in with a handtruck and half a drum of oil.
s0nnyburnett farmer nearby has a shop furnace that burns old oil so he ends up with it - we get rid of oil and he gets free fuel; win/win.
at my work we pour it into a big tank outside that is connected to a oil burning furnace for our shop, so in the end it keeps us warm in the shop and does not cost us money to get rid of. but the filters are a different story, we crush them then put them in a bin and twice a month a company comes and gets them
Almost every city in the country has at least one hazardous waste recycling facility.
By US law, any place of business that does oil changes has to accept used oil for recycling without charging you.

We also kind of think of machines almost like another lifeform and we don't entirely trust them.

only 280 ft pounds? more like 2000 ft pounds
Ballista Bomber at the crankshaft not the wheels
should be around 1600 Ft/lb.
Even at the wheels it would be much higher.
well he did corrected that already, but at the wheels the torque gets multiplied way way more, my 3406E at the dyno on direct drive was 10,000 p/f of torque and that was 467 hp, now is even more than back then.
+blackericdenice Ha. Fancy seeing you here :P
This man knows what he's doing. Good vid.
Wow i love you.... Following... You go steps by steps thanks for sharing your time.
290ft lb of torque from a 14.6L Diesel? Think your numbers are off a bit....
i think he reversed the torque and hp specs
Alex's Bikes and Motors That still wouldn't even be remotely close. Only 450ft lb of torque from a 14.6L Diesel? The F150 3.5L V6 Ecoboost has more torque than that(470ft lbs). It's actually closer to 1,700ft lb.
I feel like he meant either 1290 or 2900, though I'd wager on the first one.
MercilessHobo it have 2000ft lb
I don't understand why people are trying to give me numbers... I already posted the correct number. 1,700.
What is the oil change interval on that truck? Great video BTW.
Usually monthly oil changes along with a full grease job. I did it for 4 years as a side job on my fathers truck.
MarzNet256 I work for a fleet and most of our trucks are freightliners with isx Cummins engines in them. we go about 27,000 between b services that include oil change, fuel filter change, fuel water separator change, full inspection and lube.
Jeremiah Turnberg thats an E service in our shop. B consist of air dryer filter, injector tip, fan hub, crankcase filter, air filter, power steering filter, and coolant filter. :)
depends on the job of the truck, i work for a company that has a bunch of trucks with different jobs. the over the road trucks are every 20k and the local are every 15k. all trucks that are off the road and only get used in the compound are every 6 months. we use mostly volvos with volvo engines and have some internationals which i hate very much and some macks and freightliners, and 1 pete
Bmtp27 really gotta change the crankcase filter every time you change the oil? we have lifetime ones for our trucks only gotta do them once!
Thanks for the advice Duke! Good video.
+Mars Rubios you're welcome and thank you
11 gallons! That's amazing. Subscribed!
you look like Richard nixon
+Gg Allin ✌✌
Can't you just take a punch and hammer and punch a hole in the bottom of the oil filter to drain it into the pan before pulling them off?
That's how I do it
Joe Hanson That is we do at my shop in Michigan
can also tap a screwdriver through the side for leverage on removing a tight filter
Great Video, DIY Duke!
+Matt Smith thanks Matt
quite clean under there. Usually I drop the plug in the big pan, adds excitement to the process.
I think the torque you quoted is wrong. You said 290 foot pounds. I would think like 1290 foot pounds. I have no idea but the torque is way higher than what you stated. I know its way off ..my superduty puts out over 700 at 1800 rpm
+wascrash you're right, it's 1800 lbs of torque, thanks for catching that. Big engine, big torque.
you should fill the filter threw the holes around the edge not the center because the outside filters oil you could have put dirt into it
How many miles on that brown leather sofa? She a '97? quite a looker if you ask me
+Ganondorf Dair ha, ha 10-4 on that
The interior reminded me of a M915A3, love it
I never worked on a big truck or ever got close to a big truck but I was curious to see how it is but wow it is exactly the same as a regular car that's amazing but the amount of oil it takes surprised me and I can't believe how easier it is also like you said More space lol
And really it may not be that it needs all that much. The engine may be 3x in displacement as big as a mustang engine, but it takes about 10x as much oil. It's because the oil change intervals are much longer. They put on 3000 to 5000 miles or more per week. So the interval is about 30k or 6 months for oil changes.
Some of the massive generators that run continuously can hold a hundred gallons or more of oil in a tank. Every few hundred hours, it dumps a gallon of old oil into the fuel system and pulls in a gallon of fresh oil from the tank, so it in essence does its own oil changes. You just have to change the filter every so often. I could even see them putting in a valve to alternate filters if they couldn't shut it off ever.
Is working on a big truck easier than working on a car, cause I'm thinking about getting into big trucks
MySHAQ18 Parts are a lot more accessible in the engine bay.
Get into them is a big step up.
No. working on a big truck is not easier.
From a mechanics stand point it "is" easier, but you have to realize its just because as he stated everything is so large and easy to get to, which also translates to needing large equipment or multiple buddies when something large fails..... But for basic stuff like this they're the mechanics dream. But when you have to take and do injectors or timing chains, that's when the fun begins. (just imagine having to replace piston rings.) Oh and did I mention transmission and air brake work ?
Was...Was that a pun?
it depends, if you go work at a shop that has hoists and stuff, go for it. If the shop doesnt have it, your back will be gone in a few years
I'm a magnet to crazy girlfriends
Unguidedone
eh....you first dude.
Cool stuff. Had no idea you'd be into big rigs. I'm a truck driver myself, but in Europe.
Great job man, really informative!
Click like if DIY Duke reminds you of Henry Rollins.
so just a regular oilchange, only a bit bigger...
What did you expect? Having to offer your first born child?
I always manage to get dirty on oil change jobs too. 😂 Great video!
Thankyou 😀
I have been changing my own oil for 35 years and never thought to just put a plastic bag around the oil filter!! Great idea! I feel stupid for not thinking to do that all this time!! I have am suv I tow behind my RV, a basic Ford Escape, and the oil drain plug was stripped when I bought it..I needed to change the oil soon so I bought one of those vacuum pump things..Topsider I think..blue metal can with a pump..well that thing makes the oil change much easier! You stick the suction tube down the dipstick line and it pulls the old oil out! Almost every last drop! I would never use on a large truck of course but for a small engine like mine or on marine applications it's a good tool!
Yeah Chris that vacuum pump is a great way to change oil. My goal has always been to not get any oil on myself during the oil changes. So far I've never achieved that goal. I'm like a magnet to oil and grease. Just recently did oil, fuel filter and lube on five water tenders and I was a mess 😫 Awesome motorhome btw.
290FT-LBS? That doesn't sound right.
ikr
The 3406E ranges from 1150 to 1750 ft-lbs.. wonder where he got 290 from lol
he already corrected that in the other comments
My Father tould me, that i have to get out the Filter First, than the actuall oil.
BeneK as long as you let it all drain it shouldn't matter. I would say letting it run for a little while before you change it is even more important. warm everything up to thin the oil a little so it drains better. but if the oil isn't terrible even that shouldn't matter. just check for sludge. if you see that you have some problems.
Very good video. Can not get over the size of that oil filter it holds as much as a small car would need for it,s whole oil change. When doing a service like that on a truck or suv etc worth checking all lights tire pressures and greasing on truck where necessary plus lubricate hinges on doors etc, and the truck will last a long time!
In my experience working on mostly fleet trucks(mostly volvos). I have found that you have give the oil filter on tighter than hand tight. Due to how much these trucks vibrate. I can think of about 10 times where we have been called out just to tighten oil filters and one time. Replace one of the three filters because it fell off.
The gt 350 has the 5.2 lol
Damn I like you Duke. You raised some good boys also. Damn good job!
Thank you 😊
Admire your spirit. Thanks for making videos
+Akbar Rajani 👍
Over a million miles and that motor is CLEAN!!
THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!! Awesome vid!!!
Ol cat C-15 there. Good one too with no emission controls. Never seen anyone use a bag over the filter before tho that's a good trick to avoid a mess, I think I'll try it next time. I usually punch a hole in the bottom with a sharpened punch and catch it with the same drain pan
Thanks Dillon
I love this channel
