Love that it's not edited to give an accurate idea of how long it will take in my own driveway! Also helps us understand how you tackle the little things like the electrical connections and getting around those refrigerant lines 👌
Damn another awesome video I have a 97 with a bad oil pan leak I thought it was the adapter gasket and bought one but never did it and I'm glad because it's on the right side of pan that's leaking but a job I haven't got courage to do!!
I'm so glad there's a video out for this. I gotta 2000 MGM and i think that's where my oil leak is coming from as well. At least that's what I'm hoping for cause lord knows i need my baby to keep on pushin lol
you should have drained the coolant before taking that off, the oil passage is lower than the coolant passage. so when you loosed it the coolant goes right in the oil passage.
Thought I had a blown head gasket on my 98 GT but I only have oil in my coolant but no coolant in my oil. Oil in the motor and pan is clean but radiator is MILK. I’m about to replace the Adapter gasket since oil and coolant flow right next to each-other causing them to mix when the gasket fails.
Had a 95 and 98 and 01 and 03 total garbage cars got rid of them. And finally bought a Toyota Camry ... I have a 190000 miles on my camary and only changed the battery and the brakes..and tires . So far
@@partsshooter nah, I'm sold on how you did it--- I would have done it the same way. It makes a mess either way, even when you drain it from the plugs.. but if you look (0:01), You can see that little allen plug just below the oil filter, pointing down. I don't know if it drains oil or coolant-- but it might have helped.... Once everything is done draining, I always pull the oil bucket out of there--- because I drop something in it every time if I don't. lol
@@calholli good observation, honestly I didn't I think of that, seriously! I was just eager to knock that oil leak out and see the gasket. I honestly need to be more observant lol
I need help! Plz! I just did this on my 1998 mustang GT. It has the oil cooler. I took the oil cooler off first and then the adapter plate and replaced the gasket. When I went and started my car, EVERY BIT of oil that I had just put in the car and was in the oil pan started pouring out from underneath the car around the area I was working. And I mean POURING out. Like all 6 quarts
One more question bro! Does the 1998 model year have the oil cooler? A lot of people are saying that 98’ was the odd year for the 4.6 because it has the oil cooler even if it’s not a cobra. Is that true?
@@partsshooter Thank you. but you now, if there is a line in the place of the oil filter adapter, there is a line that crosses with the coolant hose? is it that I see a little bit of oil leakage and the coolant is going down? In your video I see that when you remove the adapter, coolant comes out.
@danielrochaclavijo5092 I understand, I thought you were referring to the adapter being attached and leaking internally, that why I stated under right circumstances but overall unlikely. The little that mix is negligible and is nothing to concern about. Not worth the mental space honestly. I mean, you're talking about less than 1% contamination
Thank you bro I been looking for this leak for months. Finally got the job done 🎉🎉
thanks so much for this video, not as hard as I thought it would be. My gasket leaks like a sieve.

man i just did this and it took me hours but im only 19 with no real experience so i think i did good
Straight forward and to the point. Great quality video too! Thank you!

I gotcha.
Appreciate it, 👍 Great video took you like NO time, believe this is my issue on top of a clogged pick up tube on a used. 150 just got.
thanks just finished mine. had to refill 1.5 bottles of antifreeze
Housing bolts are 18 ft lbs. I think i missed that part.

Very helpful video. Thank you....
I’m a little surprised you didn’t pull the housing to check/clean the opposing mating surface… and starting bolts with an impact 😅
i got it fixed ! saved money i dont have ..👍👍

Was it leaking pretty bad? I have a leak on my 2010 crown Vic and feel this could be it
I'm fairly sure that the allen plug at the bottom is there to drain the coolant.
On the engine or radiator? the mess was negligible, trust me it worked out well😎

The coolant is up high. That plug will probably drain the oil out of the filter before unscrewing it. The oil pressure sensor is right there also.
@@1lowrado Yeah.. I thought that too. It's like a little heat exchange, so both systems are right there close.

Hello, can the coolant be contaminated with oil if the gasket is damaged? What are the symptoms?, thank you
@danielrochaclavijo5092 under the right circumstances yes, but unlikely

@@partsshooter Yes, that happens, the amount is so small that the coolant is emptied every 2 or 3 months.
How hard was it to clean the old gasket material off? Also did you get torque specs for this or just get it on there tight?
Not too hard. Get some 180 grit, spray wd40 on it and just slide the oil filter adapter back and fourth until it’s smooth and clean
