Got dam. That was tight. And yeah one of my disclaimers is that you use glows and safety glasses. But we are mechanic and we love pain. But what I have to ask you is did you BUST your KNUCKLES. never!!! Great video.
Hey, Rich! That oil filter wrench looks like a great maintenance product. I love products that do what they say they do. Thanks for continuing to bring us great videos. Really informative too. Shawn.
I wanted one of those funnels and like you said sold out. Amazon has a similar locking shorter version for those that are interested. Worked well on my 21 explorer and 18 f150. I use one of your other methods and stab the oil filter on my explorer and let it drain before i unscrew. Genius common sense
You know if all of the auto manufacturers engineers had to work on the vehicles that they designed, your job would be easier. Watching you using that oil filter wrench on that Ford, to me it should have been easier for you. It took you longer to take that filter off than it me to take the oil filter off of my 2012 Ram 1500 two wheel drive with with 4.7. I use the cup shaped oil filter wrench, which fits snug. I like that you took time to advertise & do a how to oil & filter change. You’re talking about the oil smelling like fuel in it, reminded me when the ole mechanical fuel pumps would have a diaphragm fail & dump gas in the crankcase. Keep the great information coming, have yourself a great day today
Yeah whenever the filters are extremely tight and they've been sitting on an auction lot for months before being sold what ends up happening with those cups is they end up basically opening up and swelling because you're having a crank down on those filters too tight and they end up slipping and wearing out where this tool is not going to do that because it's thicker than those cups
Hey Rich. Love the video. Do you know if the JM3 guys are going to come out with a universal filter wrench with this technology? I have a Ford and my wife (against my better judgment)got a GM vehicle. I wish they had an adjustable type so I could go from one to the other. Thanks man, keep on doing what your doing.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they would come up with something like that in the future I think they already have something in the works but a lot of the Ford ones do fit the GM filters and a lot of the GM ones do fit the Ford filters
MA GILLA GORILLA got ahold of that one Last Time. Had a Flash Back on one of those Years ago. Was on a 1983 FORD Econoline Van with a 302 V 8. I had to Call My BIG Brother Over with his GIGANTIC Channel Locks. We Damned Near didn't get it Off. Last Change was at a FIRESTONE with a Quaker State Filter. It was So Tight we Damaged the Filter. Ended Up at the Base of the Filter to even Budge It. Scared the you know what outta Us. Wish we had Cell Phones back then. It wudda been a GREAT VIDEO.
It's not the same exact funnel as you have but Summit Racing has one that locks in with the spring loaded clips if anybody was needing 1 like that. 😎👍👍
Love your channel I wanted to ask you a question and your opinion. I currently have a 2013 F150 with the 6r80 transmission with the 5.0. Which is a pretty bulletproof drivetrain. I'm currently sitting at 70k miles do you recommend getting a trans flush or just changing the transmission filter and doing a partial fluid change. All the popular Ford Forums on Facebook say if you get a transmission flush it will mess it up.
That can be hit or miss I've changed people's transmission fluid entirely and the filter at 70 to 80,000 miles because it was still really clean and really good and never had a problem but most people at 70,000 miles would just do the filter and partial either way you go you're going to be good just let the transmission Tech look at the fluid before the service is done
I have a 2011 ford expidition 5.4L. It starts up and dies. Code p025a. Fuel pump does come on with key on, then I think it goes off while cranking. Swapped the fuel pump relay around, same thing. Swapped maf sensor same thing. Ordered the fuel pump module, but thought I’d reach out and see if I’m on the right track. I’m on an island, and the new part will be here in 2 weeks lol.
Do you always need to do the fill mode every time you change the oil? or you can just start it like usual to circulate then let it sit for couple of minutes then check the level?
How are these wrenches working out for you? I have some go to claws for some of those tight spots do you think these can be a "go-to" or pretty much just nice to have when you need them? Great demo
They work really well the thing is you have to really understand the mechanics behind it a lot of people keep grabbing the two handles and try to pull them together and that's not the way it works beside stays fixed and the thin piece in the middle rotates into it so I have some video showing how to use it a little bit more but I think you'll get the concept of it even Rain Man Ray has a couple videos of me using it or you can actually go to the JM3 RUclips channel or tick tock and they show how to use it as well
So far the 2.3 l Explorer has given us way less problems than any of the other explorers and I really like it the power is nice and I really like the way it drives
Another great video Rich. I also noticed a strong fuel odor when checking my oil a couple of months ago on my 2017 Escape 2.0L Ti Eco boost. This was after a 30 min. drive. Odor was gone the next day. Do you think its just typical of the GDI Eco boost engine. I'm at 78,000 mi. and drives like a dream. Thanks
I searched the vids and couldn't find anything. My wife is looking a buying a Ford Explorer AWD is there a certain year model you'd recommend over another? She wants the 2.3 ecoboost. Thanks for any help.
On my own vehicles I wipe SilGlyde on the gasket. At the next OC filter comes off with hand pressure only. If the of is really stuck I wrap a few turn of 1inch course every cloth and apply Armstrong. OF comes off
Love your videos and am subscribed. I have a question, we have a 2021 explorer with the 2.3L turbo engine in it that I love. It can sound kind of scary at times, like massive piston slap during low to mid rpms when accelerating but overall I love the power from it and the gas mileage. So my question is, are you seeing any common problems with that engine or red flags? I installed an oil separator when it was new and that's about all I've done to it. That noise I described as piston slap probably isn't what it is, sounds like a rattle can though when accelerating. I always use premium so it shouldn't be spark knock. Just curious as to what you are seeing.
@@FordBossMe I honestly don't think this has anything to do with fuel quality. I always run the best 93 octane that I can find. It sounds more mechanical then spark knock. Sounds awful actually but it still keeps plugging along. 17k miles later no problems at all. The catch can barely gets any oil in between 5k oil changes. I was just wondering about red flags is all.
Best one I've used and it works every time without risk of hurting your hands, Snap On strap wrench. Oh the strap fits everything including the big diesel filters .
Yeah that's not the point of this video though I am promoting the tool that I'm using here we all know about those strap wrenches I don't like them in comparison to these I think it's kind of a kick in the dick whenever people come here and they start talking about other tools and what the creator of the video is putting out as if they're trying to promote something else and detract from what the statement of the video is and if you believe in me you believe that I believe in this tool you should support that and not take away from it
And no that strap does not work in all situations I've used and been in this field for a long time you're not teaching me anything Tommy I'm just promoting what I believe in and if people can't get behind that then I'm not going to get behind them
@@FordBossMe support only in what you believe in, wait till you break you hand on that thing and there are people out here twice your age who have done much more than you pal, I know you think your great and what you promote and use are the best so you keep thinking that.
Hi Rich, I'm thinking about picking up a low milage 2019 Lincoln MKC with the 2.3 Ecoboost. What's your opinion on this vehicle? Do you see lots of common problems in the shop? Thanks!
The biggest issue that you're going to run into with that is the sync system and possible front cover and oil pan leaks every once in awhile that 2.3 l will have a coolant intrusion problem where coolant will escape past the head gasket into the cylinders
Hi Rich, I do not know where to ask so I thought I ask you here. I have a 2002 Crown Vic, woke up to 16°F weather. Wanted to warm up the car before going to work. Turned the car over and it sounded like it is misfiring terribly and then it died. Had to start it a couple times more (pumping the gas pedal and all) before it stayed on. What could be the problem? Never had any problems before until it got this cold. Thanks!
Pumping the gas pedal doesn't help anything all that does is hold the throttle blade open and it disables the injection from happening and then you clear the intake manifold out of any type of fuel Make sure you turn the key on let the fuel system Prime for about 10 seconds turn the key back off turn it back on Let It Prime for about 10 seconds and then try to restart if it starts better you have a fuel pressure issue but if it doesn't start any better I would be looking into a tune-up
I always crack the drain plug loose then the filter, loosen up the filter and drop the plug. Pump the oil and grab the filter. Tighten with a band wrench and rag.
I'm confused, look I hate to come across as an a****** but I'm showing you how I do it and I do it this way for a reason it would behoove you to do the same
No it has a Hub actuator seal leak which is common on these it has to be fixed under warranty that wasn't part of the video though that's for another video
No that's not how this tool works and I've already explained this I have to keep getting into these conversations with people and I I don't want to do it because it starts to get frustrating and aggravating this tool is not designed to be a super long tool it's designed to get in tight spots where you don't have a lot of room or a lot of open leverage and you still have to be able to function so with that being said I get your theory but that's not what this is intended for
@@kkovler1 you can see it was a problem ,I merely suggested that my go to is a snap on strap type ,it's worked in almost all situations and he bit my head off for it so Fuck him and his wrenches.
As long as you keep it on the road and you're not excessively idling it no a little bit but not as much as letting it sit in idle especially during the winter time but direct injection Vehicles do have this issue
@@FordBossMe I would have like to have seen the oil level prior to being drained. I say that because I have the 2.3 ecoboost in my Ranger. And it gets bad fuel smell also and the oil level will go about 1/8 inch above max fill and I only put in 6 quarts as well. Only takes about 3000 miles for this to happen.
It is a shame the funnel is still unavailable, it seems like a good design. I still don't understand why people think they have to tighten oil filters and drain plugs so tight.
Hello Sir, i live in Europe and wanna import one of this 2020 Explorers with 2.3 l engine. How reliable they are? Any major issues like other ecoboost engines?
Wow, I can't believe someone left that old filter on that tight! They must have used some tool or wrench to tighten that sucker, which you're never supposed to do. Wow.
I’ve been a mechanic for 44 years and I don’t understand why Ford engineers have to make everything so difficult, imagine trying to add a half a litre oil on a trip at a gas station without a funnel in this POS
Interesting how the vehicle owner cut out part of the belly pan to make it easier for him to change his own oil. My guess is that he tried but couldn't get the filter off that he over tightened last time. Always amazes me when people do stuff like this when it's easy to remove the belly pan...I guess they don't think that Ford engineers really thought the belly pan was necessary.
That's clearly not the point of this video I'm demonstrating a tool that's lightweight it's small it's compact it's not bulky and you can do the same job with this that no other tool can do and you ain't putting a plumber's wrench on this oil filter so let's keep it on topic here buddy let's not try to throw a bunch of nonsense out there that doesn't even apply to this
It's called a hub actuator seal leak and I have the demonstration in the library on the new explorers how to fix it that's not part of this video so that's why it wasn't mentioned
That oil filter must had been on there tight or something. Probably would be nice if they had like a thicker handle instead of thinner handles. Oh well, good job, sorry that killed ya hand for a bit.
Don't think these would work on the Ford Freestar . Was one of the worst oil change nightmares . Hardly any room to get a filter wrench and someone gorilla'd the last filter . The filter wrench crushed the lower end of the filter casing . Finally had to use an air chisel on the filter base plate . Just don't understand why anyone has to over tighten filters or oil pan drain nuts . Just had a 2016 Chevrolet Trax with over torqued drain nut . It's a soft 10 mm head with wide flange . Only supposed to torque to 14 nm . Another stupid design from GM. 10 mm and soft metal equals pain in the ass . They even have 14 nm on the oil pain by the nut .
I don't tell you how to put your pants on right? So don't tell me something that you have to be taught by my video and you have a criticism Just learn and say thanks, have a blessed day
Not offended but it’s crazy cars are getting more expensive and harder to maintain I was a ASE tech with my dad learned a lot . Respect to you all you do and everyone who works on cars and keep them rolling! Love u channel

It's called a hub actuator seal leak and I have the demonstration in the library on the new explorers how to fix it that's not part of this video so that's why it wasn't mentioned
That oil filter must had been on there tight or something. Probably would be nice if they had like a thicker handle instead of thinner handles. Oh well, good job, sorry that killed ya hand for a bit.
Well I should have been wearing gloves
@@FordBossMe true, gotta admit that is pretty nifty tool though.
👍🏻😎
Why are some videos a video only with no place to comment?
Idk
Don't think these would work on the Ford Freestar . Was one of the worst oil change nightmares . Hardly any room to get a filter wrench and someone gorilla'd the last filter . The filter wrench crushed the lower end of the filter casing . Finally had to use an air chisel on the filter base plate . Just don't understand why anyone has to over tighten filters or oil pan drain nuts .
Just had a 2016 Chevrolet Trax with over torqued drain nut . It's a soft 10 mm head with wide flange . Only supposed to torque to 14 nm . Another stupid design from GM. 10 mm and soft metal equals pain in the ass . They even have 14 nm on the oil pain by the nut .
Actually these will work on a Ford Freestar much better than other tools
Warning - NOT 6.2 qts. of oil. Only add 5.2 qts. Your welcome.
Now I know how not to do it! Gloves would make your hand not so red, also not covered in used oil, but what do I know!
I don't tell you how to put your pants on right? So don't tell me something that you have to be taught by my video and you have a criticism
Just learn and say thanks, have a blessed day
Dang .....must put oil filter on with air ratchet......
If ppl or business's would put the oil filter on the correct way you shouldn't have to struggle to get the oil filter off.
For the most part that is true but not all vehicles
That oil filter tool sure looks like a pain to use, bad for the hands...
put gloves on

Order your wrench here
Person who wrenched it that tight for no reason should be shunned or taken his opportunity away from working on cars. But awesome wrench on my list
Great to a ford leaking like a 20 year old vehicle lol
It will get fixed if you're wanting to learn stick around but if you're just here to vent and talk trash this might not be the place for you
Not offended but it’s crazy cars are getting more expensive and harder to maintain I was a ASE tech with my dad learned a lot . Respect to you all you do and everyone who works on cars and keep them rolling! Love u channel
