Great helpful video. First time changing my oil myself and trying to learn about car maintenance at home. Really great, simple explanation for a beginner!
You should have poured new oil in the filter especially because it is installed vertical. What about drain plug wrench size? Empty oil filter causes no oil pressure for a few seconds. The plug crush washer needs replacing periodically.
I did oil change myself the other day, usually get mechanic to do it was a bit pissed off to see a few secure plugs missing,how hard can it be for them to Finnish job properly?
GDi engines. No more than 5000 miles. If you short trip the car regularly, 3000 miles. Direct engine design is problematic, and requires regular oil changes.
@@a3300000not true. Oil changes alone won't do anything. I had a GDI Ford Focus. Did 10k oil changes. Mostly highway some city. Oil analysis turned out great. Replaced valve cover gasket (known leaks). Engine was clean as a top.
Dude, SO good. Thank you for going slow and detailed. Even the basic stuff isn’t known if you don’t know it. You’re awesome thank you!! 🙏
You need to start the car to check the level of the oil after. Also you don’t need a tool to put on the filter hand tight is more then enough.
Great vid! Some of the 2015s have an oil pan drain plug that is an Allen key, it's an 8mm if any one needs it.
Nice little pointer!

The hulk put my filter on there too. Had to stab a hole through it to take it out.
i would take it of the jack stand before looking the dip stick?! if the wheel on the ground it would play with the level
Good take
Thank you for this!
No problem!
I have heard that the capacity for the oil sump/quantity is 4.2 litres.
Manual for 2.0lt is 4.4 but that is with filter
What about a new crush washer for the drain plug?
“Crush” washer lol
@@mysterymystery5463 Yes
This was great man! Thank you so much
No prob!
It was a very well thought out video
Thanks! I think haha

Bro got scammed😭
thank you, king!
No prob
With that synthetic oil do you change every 5,000 or more?
thanks!!
You got it!
do you have to replace the oil exactly every 5K miles?
If you want a healthy motor I would!
If you do mostly highway you can get away with longer intervals. City car? 5,000 is probably optimal.
Hello. Thank you for your sharing . Could you please tell me what SIZE your cup oil filter wrench is that you are using ?
Sorry I don't remember and no longer have this car
How many miles does one need to do - to qualify for an ' oil / filter ' change ?
10,000 km,,,8000miles
