      Never thought an oil change video could be so entertaining! Fun video! After TWO “professional” oil change places neglected to snug up our drain plug (it was leaking) I considered just doing it myself going forward. This video makes me also question if it’s worth it…

  • @scaleautoguysworkbench

    You might regret later on tightening those filters down with that tool. I have always only tightened oil filters "hand tight". When you use a tool they tend to get stuck on the mounts and if you're lucky and with some great effort they will turn off. I have helped friends in the past that have tightened the filter on with a wrench and have had to chisel the old filter off the engine, not fun at all.... All in all another great video and I am glad that those ramps didn't collapse while Seemore was sitting on them.

    Entertaining video.
    1. Torque wrench is used only for installing threaded nuts/bolts. Do not use to remove threaded nuts/bolts.
    2. Cardboard under the vehicle reduces the mess.
    3. Use a punch to poke a hole in the bottome of your oil filters and it will cause less of a mess.
    4. A lot of new oil containers are now 5 quarts. Check before you purchase.
    5. Being 96 degrees outside, I'd skip running the engine to make the oil hotter. It will flow just fine.
    If you are still looking for a new tow vehicle that will save you a lot of aggrivation and will pull your Airstream easily. Get a Ford F-250/350 with the 7.3 litre gas engine. A lot less cost on routine maintenance than a diesel. Easy oil change at 8 quarts and you have enough room under the 4wd truck to do an oil change without ramps.
    Thanks for the entertainment. It was awesome!

      ...and that was the first time I've seen somebody use vaseline to rub across the rubber gasket. Nothing wrong with that, because vaseline is petroleum jelly. You can also just dip your finger in the regular oil and spread it around the gasket.

    • @paulmarentette5346
      @paulmarentette5346 2 месяца назад +3

      ​@@gj4578 yes, in general vaseline should not be used as it can swell and or deteriorate gaskets and o-rings. Those big filters are mounted facing up so fill 'em while out, finishing with a swipe of the finger over the gasket with the same oil. No big air traps and oil on startup.

    I have a 2012 with the 6.7 - still 13 qts of dirty oil. It costs about $100 for just the parts so no way I'm taking it to an oil change place for someone barely qualified to change oil. to make it easier - punch a hole in the bottom of the filter and be patient - let the oil drain out and it won't spill around the edges so much. Also - don't use Vaseline on rubber - it degrades it. Just put your finger in the new oil and spread on the rubber seal - that's all you need. Also, you don't need to torque the filter down - that's why its so hard to get off. I've been changing my own oil since I began driving in the mid 1970s. Why pay someone else to do something you can do - in the time it would take to drive to the easy lube and back? Thanks for the video

    Frequent Oil change DIY tip: When putting new filters on, only use hands to tighten. Using the wrench to tighten sometimes leads to over-tightening (aka SUPER-hard to remove next time). Luckily, next time will be outsourced, eh? If you must use a tool, don’t exceed 3/4-1 rotation after gasket contacts surface.

    Good job. My only recommendation would be to replace the oil drain plug with a fumoto valve. Also on my 7.3 f250 a 5 gallon bucket fits under the oil pan. No need for ramps. 6.0 may or may not have the same clearance. If it does, no need for the $50 drain pan or the ramps.

    Please, please get good steel ramps for next time!!! Also, to make the next oil change easier, only hand-tighten the filters. Another trick to get the filters to seal well, you dip your finger into the new oil and use that for lube. And the drain plug should be tight but you don't need to kill it. Otherwise, you could strip the plug and/or the oil pan by over-tightening. All these tricks I use and seem to work.
    Please keep up the great work!

But it's probably worth it to be honest with you. So you don't slog oil everywhere. The real question is as a traveler, why are you at home when it's 96°?😂 So why do you have two filters? 😅. Thanks for sharing maniac! Those are the cheesiest ramps I've ever seen in my life! Probably the thing to do would get with your local dealership and tell them what you have going on and give them the filter. I found that "Stealerships" for the most part don't exist anymore. Best thing I ever did was develop a relationship with my locals. Just use your old oil to rub on the new seal. Additionally prefill your filter(s) with oil. Thank you for being a shining example of why I'll never change the oil on my truck!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. The springs to mind my favorite Southern quaint colloquialism.

    It’s not a fun job, but because of the bi-pass filter it is best to just do it yourself. I like to fill my filter with oil before installing.

      Thanks, I’m sure there will be several Monday morning quarterbacks here in the common section who will criticize my techniques. I have never claimed to be a diesel technician… While I can handle the basics usually of turning a wrench. I’ve done enough oil changes at this point to at least avoid the most obvious mistakes, but of course, there is always room for improvement. Anyway, I appreciate your watching and the positive feedback! 🔧

    Pass. I'm too delicate for that. However from my automotive class, here's my two cents.
    a) Use the oil to lube the gasket.
    b) Have the wife do it

  • @CharlesinGA
    @CharlesinGA 2 месяца назад +1

    Most filters, like yours, and my Cummins filter, are so difficult to get your hand around, you gotta give it an extra tightening with the wrench. I do it all the time, have for years, never have a problem getting them off. I don't trust anyone else to work on my stuff, i've been wrenching for 50 years now. Just drive a couple of hours southeast to 'jawja (Georgia for you non-southerners) and I'll do the job for you, and won't make a mess.

    Here is a hint and helpful tip for changing the oil in any vehicle but especially your 6.0 L Ford. Buy a pair of long sleeve rubber gloves. When putting the gloves on, fold a 1" cuff on the gloves, and in this way when the oil runs down your arm the cuff with catch it so it doesn't run further down arm.

    This was very entertaining. I change my own oil and you used the right amount of expletives. Why do they put oil filters in odd places and why must they leak oil when you are unscrewing them. I hope you learned your lesson. I will be buying one of those filter wrenches.

    I have the same upgrade on the same exact truck. For the main oil filter, you can take off that rock shield to get a normal strap wrench in there. And to prevent oil from running down your hand, puncture the end of the filter with a screw driver and drain the oil still in the filter and lines leading to it. Add a Fumoto value under the oil pan for tool less draining.

      I was referring to the oil pan drain. It can be vulnerable to be compromised during travel. Then the engine most likely will be toast.

      @LongLongHoneymoon  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks I will check it out! I have four or five oil drain pans here in the house. The one I used in the video is good because it is deep and the oil is less prone to splash out. Our other vehicles, of course, contain much less oil so splashing is less of a problem

    • @johnhwang339
      @johnhwang339 2 месяца назад

      @@LongLongHoneymoon The tub doesn't allow you to pour the oil into a bottle easily. There's no spout, but it is large. You can slide it under the oil filters to catch the overflow when unscrewing the filters.
      I am thinking putting the tub into a large trash bag. The bag acts like a liner to the tub. You scoop out the oil using a disposable cup or something. Then you turn the bag inside out and capture the oil inside the bag that you can drain into another container. This will leave the tub clean.

    Sean, if you want to feel a little better about that $50 oil drain pan I've got 2 of them. I was in Florida and couldn't find an oil change place that could fit my 11 ft. tall rig in their shop. I already had one $50 or there about oil drain pan at home but I had to buy another one when I was in Florida and had to change my oil myself. Now for the drain plug gaskets, if they are sold copper you can heat them on your propane stove in your rig until they are red hot. Then let them air cool (do not quench) and they will be soft and will work again. I have reused the head gasket on an old Triumph motorcycle many times by doing this. Keep the good stuff coming.

    When it comes to changing oil on my 2001 super duty, I prefer to do it myself that way I know it is done right. I had my oil changed at a shop and they charged me in excess of 350.00 and I can purchase the oil and filters for $125.00. Then the next time the shop serviced my differentials and did not add friction modifier in and ruind the cluches in my rear differential... Also for lube on the rubber gasket you should just use oil, the petrolium jelly will rot the rubber seal..
