In the 70's you could buy a oil flush you added to the oil then drove 100 miles and replaced the oil and filter. This was to help clean the inside of the engine. a mix of kerosene/ trans fluid did the same thing.
Change every 10.000 miles the motoroil include filter. Your engine does wear only the minimum. Oil change cost are minimal. Use for example Mobil oil than you are sure that the quality is premium.
2:16 The video shows used oil is being applied to the OF gasket not fresh oil 🤔 Prefilling the oil filter with oil is necessary to prevent powertrain dry start up.
No. Many filters are side mounted or more recently top mounted on many cars and filling them isn't even possible. The fraction of a second it takes for the oil to flood a dry filter does nothing. The first stop for the oil after leaving the filter is at the top of the engine at the cam. Most sit in oil and any air from the filter is simply a momentary fart. The cams first rotations are in the standing oil or oiled from oil in the oiler lines.

The filter should be changed with each change. This is because some old oil also remains in the filter and when changing it, we want to drain out as much of the old oil as possible. If you think it's a shame to change the oil filter so early, then delay the oil change for about 3,000 miles and change the oil and filter at that time. Of course, it is not necessary that you have to change the filter as well, if you change the oil earlier than the filter is supposed to last, then nothing will be wrong with the filter.
I use Mobil 1 in all my equipment. I use premium oil filters. When ever I change my oil it's either every 6000 miles or one year. I dump both the oil & filter. Oil is cheap. Engine parts are not.
@ The asshole engineers that designed my truck put the oil filter in a tough spot. It is positioned so the filter is flat. I prefill my oil filter with new oil & when I screw it on. More than half of the fresh oil pours out until I have it threaded on enough. When I start my truck there is a moment where there is no oil pressure & then there is.
Most important: 1. Plug the bottom drain port B4 putting the fresh oil from the top. If u run the car, u'll leave nut(not) only an embarrasSkinned trail of black buttto, worse, welded engine pistons. 2. Plug the big top pouring cap after the fill up. Or, the oil will spew out onto the hood bottom, ruin the sound insulation lining, or even worse, u'll end up w not much oil left to cool the engine B4 u reach home Those two above r more important than what's shown in this video. Yes? Regardless of who does the engine oil change, always look down under 2c if the new oil is nut draining out to the ground. Open the engine hood n make sure the top cap is on too. 3. Scratch ur oil fltr B4 u take ur KAaa for an oil change shop and chk it after the job is done B4 u leave 4. Always recycle the used oil. Autozon, Advanced Auto, Napa, ur town autoshop would take ur oil for a few cents/gal. Don't ever dump it in ur sink, street sewage drain, etc. It'll contaminate our water resources, rivers, n oceans and u'll b eating and drinking oil for ur health n enjoyment Hope ur now better informed to save ur KAaah for many good rides
Change the oil while the old oil is still good. I always change the filter but if you want to skip a filter change it should be okay. A little bit of old oil is ok. I just changed my Mustang's oil. I thought it was 2000 miles and 2 years old. Mobil 1 Turns out it was only 1700 miles and only 3 years. 😂😂😂😂
Nope! Hot oil pours out more from the oil pan and galleys than cold oil. Hot oil viscosity is thinner, while cold oil viscosity is thicker. So, you want to warm up the engine by driving the car to heat up the oil before draining the oil out of the oil pan.
@@Support_Ad_Blocker I wish I could. I don't have a lift in my garage. Nor would one fit. There is a cross over exhaust pipe right where I remove the oil filter & the drain plug. If I heat up my engine first? I risk getting a nasty burn at the least or worse an engine fire. Asshole engineers never think about the poor slob that has to work under that truck to change the oil.
@@johnclyne6350 They are indeed making it harder for DIYers! Toyota has a silly cartridge oil filter that comes in pieces, and you have to put to together. No more quick, easy non-messy changes. And look at what they’ve done to transmissions. An inner fill tube that you have to remove to get the fluid out. All to discourage people from doing it themselves. Instead, take it someplace and let the lowest paid serf work on your vehicle!

Check dip stick on level ground.
I only tighten my oil filter by hand only, than I can get it off by hand. Been doing this for over 40 years with no problems whatsoever.
You forgot the best tip.Do the oil change yourself Don't go to jiffy lube or walmart they'll ruin your car
Ah thats a good tip

In this video, I also explained that you should prefill your oil filter

Don"t forget to fill the new oil filter with fresh oil before installing it.
It doesn't count if the oil filter is on it's side.
what about Mobile 1 20,000 miles filters, they are guaranteed to work for 20,000 miles, would you change it every oil change?

Changing the oil when cold: you get MORE oil OUT when you do it this way.

@@7spower998 Then why when I measure the amount of cold oil versus the amount of warm oil does the cold oil total volume always win?
