A friend of mine owns a shop and has one of those 4 post lifts. He put LED light strips on all the inner ledges of the platform (The red part of your lift). It lights up the bottom of the car so well you don't need supplemental lighting for fluid changing work. Very handy. BTW: Castrol, Redline, and others make a 10w-60 oil as BMW M engines used to use that. I thought Shell did as well, but I could be mistaken.
I always use aluminum foil if I need to “redirect” draining oil away from something. You can mold it to whatever shape you need. The cardboard tube was pretty smart though!
@@normalguysupercar Pro tip: there's a better "tool" that you'll find useful in just this common situation. Look up Form-A-Funnel. You can thank me later for changing your life! lol
Is the Stubb surrounded by tall trees? 'Cause that was some serious Shade Tree Engineering with a cardboard box oil trough! Nice job Dan. Looking forward to the drive. Love the F12...
These might seem tedious and somewhat boring to some, but love seeing mundane service like an oil change on such and expensive car. Makes me appreciate my $45 service!
The oil cooler wasnt drained. I think theres around a quart inside the oil cooler. Could be a little less but I got a pretty decent amount out of mine when I did it.
Yeah, over filling the oil is no joke. Way back in 2012 I went to my Ford dealer for a free complementary oil & filter changed in my New Boss 302 Mustang. When I went back to pick up the car, it just didn't feel or sound right when I started it. So, I quickly shut it off and opened the hood, to find oil coming out of dip stick tube. NOT GOOD. That's Right! The service tech guy put in the NEW oil without draining out the OLD oil or changing the filter. But wait, it gets even dumber. After everyone apologized for the error, (number 1 oil guy thought number 2 oil guy had already drained & change the filter.) The poor tech who made the mistake started to get in my car to DRIVE it back into the service bay!! fortunately I was still holding the keys and told him to PUSH the car inside and that I will steer. Luckily, no damage was done and the car still runs great to this day.
Whenever my wife or I see the bottom skid plate handing loose under a vehicle, we refer to them having gone to Goodyear for service. There’s a long story behind it, but I’m sure you can guess
Maybe the other 2 liters were still inside the cool engine. Never heard of doing an oil change without first warming up the engine to thin out the oil.
Hey Dan, I am doing this job on the quick jack. Since the rubber pad is bigger than the lifting points. Do you think the rubber pad will crush and crack the undertray panels and the side skirts?
Hi , Dan . Interesting you didn't drain the plug other engine drain plug and you didn't replace the plug with new 🤔 ? I think other 2 quart oil of oil was the other plug .
@@normalguysupercar , it's by the oil filter , about 4 or 5 inches away . Towards the transmission . It's above your head , when you were torqueing the filter .
Where the hell did you find 10W-60? I've never seen it in an auto parts store. Good thing you changed it as that oil looked really dirty. BTW, is there going to be a "Live" tonight?
i heard it from others, and i find it really weird. i can find 10W-60 for cars and my bike at literally almost every auto parts store for about 10-12 euros per liter (quart). is it that rare in the US? probably only needed for very few european cars i guess
@normalguysupercar Don't you have to disconnect the oil cooler lines in the front of the car. I noticed in your other FF(similar engine) video you did not drain the front oil cooler and the lines. Ferrari states this is the proper procedure, is this just overkill or is it ok to be lazy and not do it in your opinion?
Maybe ask the Josh guy who has worked as a tech. It seems like you just assume you know what you are doing because it’s a simple oil change, but the reality is that there’s a specific process ferrari has to make sure all the oil gets drained to prolong and maximize their v12s. The good news is not many F12 owners relying on RUclips to do oil changes. I know you don’t claim to be professional mechanic, but if you are documenting something or preparing a car for sale and have a platform, I imagine you won’t to reach the right process or method.
I ues to change my oil on 3 of my cars when I was younger, had the time. But now I say forget that & pay someone to do it. I had ramps & didn't have a garage for cold days.
F430 £650 annual service! That's roughly $820😢. I don't know about you guys, but in the UK you'd be expected to service it every 12mths. For me, if (like last year) the car did just 900 miles, I ain't throwing another $820 at it for at least another 6mths. It makes no sense. Some owners service them after doing virtually '0' miles since the last. Am I the fool, or do some owners simply have more money than sense?
That's because oil absorbs moisture so after a year, the oil is no longer as effective. I wouldn't cheap out, go get the service. It's not worth the risk on engines this expensive.
Yeah but Dan on a Ferrari? (or any supercar!) is this an American thing? Im sure I have asked this before but I would want full service history (or receipts) to see that oil/maintenance has been carried out properly if I was buying a car@@normalguysupercar I would use a Ferrari specialist who would be alot cheaper if I didn't do maintenance myself (if my cars didn't have dealer warranties)
I change my oil in my BMW 760LI & my C4 ZR1. It's gets easier over time. Nice video.
Thanks!

Yeah I need to consider that lighting the bottom
10W-60 WoW!! I didn't even realize there was motor oil weight like that. Anyway, thank you for the awesome tutorial video👍
No problem!

Ohhhh I like that idea. Next time.

Nice work Dan! Car is a beauty and sounds ridiculous in a good way!
Thanks
That F12 is impeccable 😮❤
It's pretty nice.
So to be clear, you don't have that F12 for sale, it was brought in for an oil change?
@@davidgalinat4257 no, it's for sale.

Lol yes there's some cotton wood trees on the property. Lol
Good job at tbe end you forgot its gonna be sweet😊
Oh yeah. Dang.
It’s $930 to change oil in my 2023 Sprinter at the dealer and thats why I do it myself for $200.
Yeah, the materials costs are pretty high
I always change my oil , in my Corolla n my C8
These might seem tedious and somewhat boring to some, but love seeing mundane service like an oil change on such and expensive car. Makes me appreciate my $45 service!
Lol yes indeed
The oil cooler wasnt drained. I think theres around a quart inside the oil cooler. Could be a little less but I got a pretty decent amount out of mine when I did it.
Ah that could be it.
Great video. Appreciate the general maintenance ones.

Yikes! That can do damage quick. Lol didn't drain the oil. That also means he didn't even bother checking it
Whenever my wife or I see the bottom skid plate handing loose under a vehicle, we refer to them having gone to Goodyear for service. There’s a long story behind it, but I’m sure you can guess
Yeah, I can imply. :)
Ahh man I miss the oil spillage carnage of the past. Also, plz show the pour of the oli. It is the best part of any oil change!!
OH ok, I'll remember to include that.
@@normalguysupercar thanks man! Your channel is awesome
Maybe the other 2 liters were still inside the cool engine. Never heard of doing an oil change without first warming up the engine to thin out the oil.
Na it may have been in a cooler or something
Dan, Is it ok to not drain the oil cooler at the front?
I may have missed that. It's probably best
wow way easier than i thought it would be
Yeah it really isn't bad
@@normalguysupercar oh, one more question you said something about it can only be reset five times. I’m not sure what you meant by that.
@@ChrisLoomisDirtFlix the service indicator can only be reset 7 times before it needs to be reset by a dealership. It's kinda BS.
@@normalguysupercar wow that stinks
Hey Dan, I am doing this job on the quick jack. Since the rubber pad is bigger than the lifting points. Do you think the rubber pad will crush and crack the undertray panels and the side skirts?
That's likely. You need to get them on the lift points
Nice oil drain box. Is it available for sale on your website?🤔
Lol sure.
Nice job with that cardboard tube 😂
Lol thanks
Hi , Dan . Interesting you didn't drain the plug other engine drain plug and you didn't replace the plug with new 🤔 ? I think other 2 quart oil of oil was the other plug .
I'm not sure which other drain plug you're referring to
@@normalguysupercar , it's by the oil filter , about 4 or 5 inches away . Towards the transmission . It's above your head , when you were torqueing the filter .
If you open the filter housing first ,The oil coming out won't glug,,
Ok
Where the hell did you find 10W-60? I've never seen it in an auto parts store. Good thing you changed it as that oil looked really dirty. BTW, is there going to be a "Live" tonight?
Yes, there's a live tonight. I had to get the oil special order. Annoying.
i heard it from others, and i find it really weird. i can find 10W-60 for cars and my bike at literally almost every auto parts store for about 10-12 euros per liter (quart). is it that rare in the US? probably only needed for very few european cars i guess
I think you should patent the box of wonder.
Lol I agree

Best car I think for sale
It's pretty badass
Love the car though
Indeed
Why no video from your drive?
That's coming
I ues to change my oil on 3 of my cars when I was younger, had the time. But now I say forget that & pay someone to do it. I had ramps & didn't have a garage for cold days.
Yeah it gets more difficult with less time
0:58 I heard "fraud" first time watching. I guess fraud is also valid lol
Ahhh
on a serious note, who doesnt warm it up at least a little before changing it? not a great oil change. long time follower.
Cool
Some of the best tools you will ever own are the ones you made yourself
Haha! This "tool" was pretty janky, but it worked great!
10 FLb for drain plug,,You over torqued by 3 times..
No it's 45
A Go Me Fund has been created if something should befall you while you are working on your cars. You re feel free to take any risks if necessary!
Lol
Does that box have a ferrari symbol, thats $50 special tool you can sell.
Lol! True story
That reminds me I need to change the oil in my F12. Thanks
Anytime.

Eye protection man... Eye protection...
True
Patent that cardboard drain design!
LOL! It's kinda a single use tool sadly.
$100 for oil filter? Try to wash a gasoline and re used it and try it. Is it ok.
Eh I mean in the scheme of owning a car this expensive, $100 for a filter shouldn't break the bank
Awesome lol
Thanks
Normalguysuperbox
Lol
Where is my oil
In the pan
You sell a car without knowing the maintenance history .. ?? .. or unclear history ..
Not even knowing when the last service was done …scary …
Uhh, that's why we service it before selling it.
??? Never ever would buy a F with doggy history what kind of backyard smack 😂 are you
So you bought an F12 with no service history?
Yes.
So aluminum foil and duct tape is not good enough for you now?…. 😊
Lol had to upgrade to cardboard
So somebody got a V12 ferrari and has no maintenance records ? You either are cheap as hell not servicing it or just dont care
It's really not that uncommon to have no service records available.
Yeah but Dan on a Ferrari? (or any supercar!) is this an American thing? Im sure I have asked this before but I would want full service history (or receipts) to see that oil/maintenance has been carried out properly if I was buying a car@@normalguysupercar

@@PixelVogue Honestly on the newer cars it's not a big deal. They don't have the crazy maintenance requirements like the older cars.
