Use the factory cap with a factory oil filter. You definitely do not replace the cap everytime. This is why the motorcraft filter comes o rings. I would never put after market on any of my trucks.
The worst situation is when customer buy these trucks used, with an aftermarket filter on them, then proceed to fit the motorcraft filter into the aftermarket head. Not a good situation. Trying to help those guys and gals out.
@@thoroughbreddiesel I understand. My advice to them is to get the oem cap from you or their local dealer and pair it with a motorcraft filter. I've seen the aftermath of cheap filters and caps. 6.0 is a great engine with great potential, and because of its poor reputation due to early tunes with to much timing, egr failures, and poor maintenance you can pick one up fairly cheap. Diesels are high maintenance and the 6.0 is no exception.
Depth always matters, no matter what she tells you.
This video just got you one brand new subscriber!👍👍
Your stand pipe has the Fram style insert installed at the top end as well (white plastic cross).
Good pick up! Why is it there? Did it replace the factory style?
With Aftermarket filters come with plastic star piece that is on top of standpipe. its yellow at 8:10 mark, that needs to be removed also. The factory cap and filter don't need that piece
What does it do?
Is it necessary to upgrade the oil cooler on the 6.0 if you install an oil and coolant bypass filter kit on it? You think the bypass filter kit would filter it better so it doesn't end up clogging up the oil cooler.
Great, have been wondering for the last couple weeks why my Motorcraft filter didn't seem to fit properly on the aftermarket cap, now I know why. Immediately ordered a new filter and cap. Hope my truck doesn't grenade itself before it gets here
I hate these type of filters. My Cummins fuel filter is the same style and every time I change it I'm thinking dear Lord I hope that seated correctly because if it didn't your talking a several thousand dollar mistake. Spin on filters are the way to go. Pretty hard to screw that up.
hello, thank you for this video, do you know what that (check valve assembly?) part is called inside the oil filter housing at the 6 o clock position, and if it's replaceable by itself? i was having hard start issues, removed it, and found the rubber washer deteriorated.
I have 2006 6.0. when I bought it 4 years ago it had an aftermarket filter and cap. But I bought an original type of filter. I was not aware of the differences till I tried to mix the two. It took me 2 days to get an OEM filter cap. At that time they were like $40.00, added to the price of 15 quarts of oil and a $30.00 filter. and 2 days without my truck.
If you go into an oil change garage and have them change your oil and filter, most won't use an OEM filter they throw your cap away and use that thing he was calling a filter. Those Spanish people won't know any difference. But it will cost you over $40.00 to get a new oil filter cap. On top of that, they might just be using regular ole 5w 30 car motor oil in your motor.
Since I bought the truck, I've changed my own oil every time. That's the only person I trust to use the proper stuff. If someone says they can change your oil for $75.00 you better just get dressed up as a sucker with a stick up your, you know.. because you're getting reamed. There's no way you can even buy the oil for that much. Or they plan on not changing your oil and just take your money.
I changed the oil filter on a 08 E450 with a 6.0L in it. I couldnt get a filter from dealer so we got one from carquest. The canister was a bit shorter but not by much, and the amount of filter sticking up above top of can was about same as old one. Next day the customer said the filter blew off. And this is an E series so filter is beside oil pan, wondering if the aftermarket filter itself is the problem or the difference in length
Your preaching the truth 👍
Thank you so much for this video! it really helps a lot.
You're very welcome!
I work on 6.0’s a lot I’ve never even paid attention to what the aftermarket filter/cap combo say they are so easy to identify by just the height of the plastic cap the fuel pump/module on the frame uses the same cap as the oil filter FYI to anyone they are less than $30 at oriellys
Good info for the fuel pump
Some parts you can get away with aftermarket, but on PowerStrokes, all filters, minus air, should be FOMOCO oil, and fuel filters, transmission as well. Otherwise you’re just asking for problems at some point in the life of these trucks.
About 2 weeks ago I changed my oil with genuine motor craft filter- like you said the cap didn't fit-I broke the old filter loose and put the new filter in the old cap- fast forward 2-3 weeks- I have a bad oil leak- looks like it could be the base of the oil filter housing- would the wrong filter be the cause ofthe leak 2-3 weeks later?????
If you stressed the housing it could be. I don’t think that it will but its possible. Go back to stock cap and filter.
Great info 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks. We see this unfortunately a lot.
Great video. Thanks
👏
Man you need to remove the white plastic ring placed on the end of your standpipe. Its an adapter to use an aftermarket filter. You are effectively bypassing the filter all together with that still installed. Look it up on google and you see what I’m writing about. Critical mistake you made.
Same mistake people make with the 6.4 as well
TALL CAP = Crap....
What cap should I use if I run the oe filter and what length thanks? Looking at buying a 04 6.0 right now
Always use the OE cap. We also suggest the OE filter.
To clarify: When you say not to use aftermarket caps, you are not talking about the Sinister Billet ones correct? They are okay? In other words: Is the Sinister cap with the MotorCraft filter an acceptable combo?
Hmmmm good question I'd like to know also
I was always told to use motor craft only
At my job we have 2 6.0 550 work trucks and my boss made a bad decision. Both trucks had the aftermarket caps and at separate times about a year apart from each other under standard driving, the cap ripped about 3/4 the way around the top of it and out came all 15 qts of oil all over the motor . Needless to say we only use motor craft parts now. Stick with the oem stuff when it comes to that stuff for sure
😱
Question is the spring and plastic piece in the center is that plastic piece supposed to be connected to anything?
It should be on the spring. If you even question it, get a new standpipe kit.
Why can you not go back to stock once you got an aftermarket filter and cap. I was planning on switching back to oem but you said you can’t go back why’s that?
he did say that but u can, he made a mistake.lol
I heard the dorman caps are damn near the same as the motor craft caps. Is this true?
I cannot speak to that but if its in question, we suggest switching back to the Motorcraft cap.
I use WIX filters on the the 3 6.0 that we have and have never had a problem. I don't think WIX would ever sell a filter that wouldn't be right. The lawsuits would be huge. You just can't mix the 2 filter elements.
But people reuse the cap w a smaller filter
100% never seen a failure at my shop on any 6.0 with a WIX. This video is very misleading
Good video.
There was never a issue with screw on oil filters. Just remember to inspect and clean treads for the possibility of metal shavings from the tread cutting process.
The designers at International of this particular oil filter deserved to be kicked the nuts. Enough said. Just MPO.
Being a Cummins guy, I thought the ford filters were stupid. Now that I own a 6.0, I like the filter cartridge much better. Its quicker and cleaner. No more draining filters, just toss it in the trash.
@@Russ-nf9tv yup
I may be wrong but you oil filter tube doesn't look right on the top.
You arent a diesel guy
u can run oem filter after using a aftermarket u just got get a oem cap go with it. i guess his ponit is u cant mix filters with different caps. i find this happen on a friends 6.0 got ih(ford) filter and cap wasnt bad cost
Always run genuine Ford filters! Especially in 6.0!!!!!No exceptions! Not worth a dead motor!
As a consumer and just an individual, we need to do what ever we can to make sure idiot designs like these are eliminated from being produced.
I can't believe some of the stupid designs and products Ford makes at times. It's almost as if they wanted their trucks to fail.
You saved my ass bud the dumb ass before me bought one of those piece of shits
Bullet proof bypass and get that oil filter out of the equation
Thank you for this and your other videos. It is obvious that some trolls have been here with there childish thumbs down votes. Go pizz up a rope. I will be making a purchase from you guys because you did this video and saved my bacon!
Thank you. Happy to help.
Always use factory Ford filters! Period!!!!!!!! Other things can be non Ford but never the filters!
Congrats ford,you managed to complicate an oil change!
Y'all ... power driven ... firepunk ... dirty ... it's like the father son Holy Ghost and Virgin Mary 🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏻💪🏻
Man...You need to lay off the 420!
Dixie, you need to lay off the 420!
What the hell'd he say
@@jpag8764 He doesn't even know! Been Drinking Diesel!
this is 2019 and if you went out and got a 6.0 I am sorry.
It's just a gamble 🎰 true.
Bulletproofed that are great engines. Not cheap to billetproof though. My excursion runs great now.
Never reuse the 6.0 or 6.4
reuse what?
Main mistake was buying the blue oval to begin with🤣🤣🤣
Fuck off
Lol😂
