I've been used to changing the oil on my own vehicle. Got the wife a 2009 focus and am going to change the oil. I always do research on the type of vehicle I'm about to work on because sometimes you need special tools and so on. So thank you for this it really helped and let me know I have all the tools already
You're welcome! I too usually scope out YT for tips n tricks. Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁. BTW I have an evaporator brand new in box for this car I'll sell you cheap if you cover shipping. I have no use for it.
Same. Scoping for tips and abnormalities has saved me a couple headaches. Grease monkey left the old filter seal on my buddy's engine and we all know what happened. I REFUSE to let those kind of places change my oil. I got this car for my daughter to use.
@@jdc8352 I remember laughing at Dad the first time he did that by mistake....Then I did it less than 2 months later! 🤣 I always look for the old gasket on the filter now.
Thank you so much! Very helpful!! I have same car and want to start changing my own oil and basically doing whatever I can on my own. Unfortunately, no one ever taught me when I wanted to learn so I’m very happy that people like yourself are putting videos out in an easy to understand manner. Loved all the tips and tricks!! Wish you lived near me…you could hold auto classes for us women who want to learn 😊.

Another thing to consider is how much engine metal material comes out of that oil which can easily be seen and tell you a lot of things but mostly to professional mechanics who know what to look for
I have to add another professional tip when he wiped off the oil filter Ring where it would be normly screwed onto ALWAYS always always take your oil and wipe it around the brand new oil filter before screwing it on every step and detail matters when working on a car your either an amateur or a professional master who does everything Top notch ! Perfect
Thanks for watching! I too like S-K Tools. I just inherited two big 1/2" drive ratchets with broken heads. I hope to rebuild them for several more years of service. 👍😁
This guy is awesome
Thanks for watching! Cheers 👍😁
My last tip to any and all oil changes would be keeping the oil beyond warm temperature for faster drainage cold oil drains slower takes much more time
Nice video..thanks.

17 had no idea how to change oil. Now I am I oil changing master after watching this👀not gonna get scammed and pay hella bread for this simple ass shit.
I'm glad the video was helpful! Once you do it a few times it will only take 15-20 minutes to perform the task. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
I also usually take the oil fill cap off before draining the oil.
Good point! 👍 That would help the oil drain. Sometimes I pull the dip stick half out too. Thanks for watching 😁
good video
Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Someone said take the oil cap off first he's absolutely correct another thing to consider is your car being lifted changes the angle of the oil draining keep the car Level for maximum oil dranage
I have always heard to wipe some of your old oil around your new filter ?
I seen he used new oil on it, which should you use on the filter ring old or new?
Either works if it's clean. I prefer new because I know it doesn't have dirt in it. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Thanks for the video. I need to do an oil change on my 2009 Focus. It needs new sway bar links and engine mounts too. I hear these are common issues with this model car. But these are pretty easy repairs. One issue I have that's quite annoying is the right side speakers don't work inside the cabin. Both front and back speakers are out. It is not the balance setting in the radio. Is some wire loose or broken somewhere? What would you recommend checking first if your car had this issue?
Your welcome! I replaced the sway bar links on the same Focus shown in the video. The sockets were worn and they rattled; Quick and easy repair. Seems odd both speakers would stop working at the same time. I too would investigate wire connections at the radio plug and then the speakers themselves. Could be as simple as a corroded connection. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
I had to get sway bar links to on my 09 focus
Subscribed nice video
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words and your subscription! I hope you will enjoy some of my other videos and or some of the new releases. I shoot for a new video every week! Thanks for watching! Cheers 👍😁
Last thing I will say is always 100 percent of the time inspect and look at the oil bolt washer make sure it's in good quality nothing less extremely important for obvious reasons
Unless your using a short stub 13mm snap on is the absolute best I recommend them but S&k 13 millimeters works just fine .... I love S&K as well as milwaukee and couple other affordable brands 5 dollar chinese tools won't last long believe me ...

Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas 🎄
My wife hasnt had an oil change in 2 years... So shes found another way to keep me busy on the weekend 😒
Haha nice! I'd say try to teach her to do it, but that tends to come with a whole other set of problems. 🤣..... Thanks for watching 👍😁
this looks so easy to do and os unnecessary to send my car to a mechanic.... let me see if i can save those 30 dollars XD
Once you do it a few times it comes natural. You can do it under 20 minutes easy. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
I only save $2 lol.
No way in hell in that oil bolt it way to tight for you to loosen it you would have to be the weakest SOB alive by the way if you over tighten it it will strip and possibly leak 99 percent of the time everyone knows this already tightens it to its correct spec
Thank you
