    Put a sandwich bag around the filter, it gets the extra oil and does not make a mess.

    I always use K&N filters, on my wife's Jeep, my HD Limited, and my 2021 Ram Laramie... I like that a 1" wrench will fit on the "nut" that K&N uses on their filters. Great video, TY!

    QUICK TIP: Slightly loosen oil filter but, not so much where oil starts to leak down, Take a gallon ziplock bag, cut one of the corners off to create a funnel. Zip tie the ziplock bag around the filter as tight as possible. Take a #2 phillips screw driver and slide it into the hole in the corner of the ziplock bag you made previously. With the screw driver inserted into the ziplock bag, use a hammer to TAP THE SCREWDRIVER GENTLY, punching one or more holes into the bottom of the oil filter. DO NOT HAMMER IT LIKE A BLACKSMITH TRYING TO WORK STEEL FRESH FROM A FORGE. Allow to drain fully, then remove the filter while the ziplock bag is still zip tied to the filter. No fuss, no mess and no extra cleanup needed. You're Welcome!

    Nice video, thanks. I might suggest loosening/removing oil cap before drain,,,,it provides a better, more thorough drain.

  • @cassidysworld4663
    @cassidysworld4663 Год назад +1

    Another quick tip is to fill the oil filter half way before install. Helps the oil pump upon first start. Thanks

  • @jasongridler1771
    @jasongridler1771 Год назад +2

    The oil on the new oil filter doesn't seal it, it helps keep the seal from sticking to the oil filter housing when you go to take it off.

    Great video man! You gotta wonder why they put it in such a goofy spot. Maybe because they moved the engine deeper

      @dontburnthehousedownvideos  2 года назад

      Thank you very much. Just so you know, the oil filter may be in a different spot. I had a 2016 Ram and the oil filter was more on the left side. Just be on the lookout for it. The concept is the same though!

    You don't put the plug back until the filter is removed so the flow is 100%

    Hey how happy are you with your ram truck have you had any problems with your ram. I just bought one so I'm nervous. Let me know nice video.

      Just a few minor things that were covered under warranty. My windshield had a defect so it got replaced and my brake caliper had a noisy spring. Overall I absolutely love it.

    Great video! How many miles did you have on your truck when you changed it? Mine is about to hit 4,600 and I was thinking I should change it but if the computer in it is reliable then I'll wait. It's saying I still have 50% oil life left.

    • @dontburnthehousedownvideos
      @dontburnthehousedownvideos  2 года назад +2

      For the first change it was right around 1500 miles. I'll use the computer to tell me when it's due going forward but I wanted to knock the first one out before 2,000 miles.

    Next time use a gallon ziplock bag over the filter to prevent oil spills on the rack and pin.

  • @raytobar221
    @raytobar221 2 года назад

    What side is the oil filter on? driver or passenger side? I got under my truck and didn't see it. Maybe I am just blind.

    • @dontburnthehousedownvideos
      @dontburnthehousedownvideos  2 года назад

      Passenger side. You can reach over the front axle to unscrew it if you can't get it from the bottom.

  • @luisasotocolon5372

    Where do you live that you can get a full synthetic on a ram for $ 80 ?

    • @dontburnthehousedownvideos
      @dontburnthehousedownvideos  5 месяцев назад

      Honestly, my local shop here will do a full synthetic for $40 for 5 quarts. The Ram is $50. I stopped changing my own oil thanks to their prices. 😂

    I would never use any mobile 1 products. Where I used to work they bought Mobile ! and their stuff is garbage. The oil was bad and the grease used to separate in the tube. I worked for Shell oil for many years where the grease products were made and grease should never separate.

  • @mikemartinez842
    @mikemartinez842 2 года назад +2

    Do NOT use Mobil 1 in your Ram 1500 (3rd or 4th Gen). It does not meet the requirements of MS-6395. It's in your owner's manual. Look at the back of the oil container. It has to say Chrysler MS-6395. If you ever have engine or valvetrain failure and you use Mobil 1, Chrysler will not honor the warranty for the engine. I'm not saying anything bad about Mobil 1 but use it at your own risk.

    • @dontburnthehousedownvideos
      @dontburnthehousedownvideos  2 года назад

      So...... 5th gen is good?

    • @mikemartinez842

      Sorry I meant 4th or 5th Gen Ram 1500.

      I just bought 7 quarts of Mobil 1 0w 20 for my 22 Ram 1500 5.7 yesterday. And they DID in fact have the Chrysler MS-6395 stamp on the back of the bottle.

    • @classicjay7786
      @classicjay7786 Год назад

      Mobil 1 now has the approved ms-6395 stamped on there new oil bottles and also on there website. But you are correct back then they didn’t have the approvals.
