Good video! I’ve got a ‘19 and just started changing the oil 5k miles or 50% whichever comes first. There’s a ton of videos showing the sludge building up, you might want to look into that.
Will definitely take a look and keep that in mind. I do service a lot of these 5.7 HEMI engines and have seen a bunch of good condition ones but also a handful of nasty ones.
Why don't you use a 1 gallon freezer bag over the old filter as you loosen it? Let the filter fall into the bag and remove with almost zero oil spilling.
@@Thumpernator1 I have tried that in the past and it’s a nice way to keep it clean for sure. 😎👍🏻 I just forget to grab them when I go to service my clients rigs once and a while. Definitely something to add to the tool bag. 😁
Another great video. I think every mechanic has the same opinion of engineers, they all should have to work on the vehicles they design. Or the car companies should hire mechanics to design vehicles, lol.
bit confused if i pour .2 quarts into the oil filter than i need to pour 6.8 quarts into the engine after or 7 quarts into the engine after ? i’ve been getting mixed answers trying to get people input . reading the dipstick is impossible for me when whole dang thing is covered with oil so i need to do it blindly :(
@@nobody1322 sorry for the confusion. That is something I should’ve clarified on. It is 7 quarts total into the motor. That includes what you put in the filter. So if you were to put the .2 quarts into the filter and 6.8 quarts into the engine that equals your total 7 quarts that you’re after. When websites say 7qts with filter it means 7 total regardless of where it goes in the engine, oil filter, or crankcase. Easiest way I’ve done it is to pour some of the single quart into the filter to get it lubricated and the platelets to soak up some oil so you don’t have that dry start, and then pour the remaining of that quart into the truck after you’ve reinstall the oil filter. And then finish off with your other 6qts to get your total of 7qts. Hope that helps. 😊
