Am I missing the part where he put in the 6th quart? That was a 5quart jug right?

[nicholasc.]

I was at this guy's shop once. He is very meticulous. He will be my go to guy for my 2018 F150 V8.

Just an FYI, the ultra platinum pennzoil now says “API SERVICE SP”. This supersedes the previous rating of SN PLUS. This is the new and improved rating.

This guy reminds me of the greatest generation that built this country such good work ethic

The most trusted and honest Mech I know, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I tackle all my maint tasks thanks to you!

[lashlarue]

One of my favorite automotive YouTubers. Always learn something from you, sir. Thanks!

[rickpalluck]

When you first started it up I think it would be a good idea to check underneath to see if you have any leaks.Just a thought, I’ve been doing that after every oil change for over sixty years.You’ll be glad you did!!

[bobbyg]

You sir are AWESOME!! I wish dealerships were honest like you. I have a 2016 Ford F-150 with a 3.5 eco boost so I love getting educated watching your videos. Please keep them coming.

I work at a Ford dealership and there's so many instances where people go 10k miles on semi synthetic with EcoBoost engines. For some reason 100% oil life in the vehicle settings is equivalent to 10k~ miles so people just wait for that oil change required light, not realizing they are 5k miles over what the sticker says. That oil normally comes out stinky, black, and dirty.... Nearly looking like diesel. It's even worse when people get their FIRST change at 10k. I feel bad for the people out there that just don't know better. I try to explain in our inspections that they shouldn't go that far, but the advisors come back and complain about the customer being angry at us. Then they tell us to stop explaining it because they're too baby-like to handle a disgruntled customer. Hopefully Ford changes they oil life meters to NOT be SO far.

I always want to tell the last person to change it, the oil filter and drain plug aren’t structural to the engine...I swear people use cheater bars to tighten them sometimes.

[juli]

Thank you for a video that relates to my actual truckypoo...my brain just needs things to be exact and meticulous for some reason. Now, off to tackle my first oil change, thanks for boosting me up and the virtual handhold!

That Pennzoil ULTRA platinum is my favorite oil

[davidwysocki]

I love Mobil 1. It works great in my 2018 Taurus SHO 3.5 EcoBoost. I've been using Mobil 1 for the past 30 years

[philmed]

Pennziol ultra platinum full synthetic is my second favorite oil for almost any engine. My number one choice would be Amsoil signature series full synthetic. Keep an eye on your dip stick to notice dirty oil and change before recommended intervals. Good tips on this channel. I love the tip on not rolling over on to your key fob and accidentally starting your car with no oil. Rofl. First world problems...

[Embermist]

Last oil change I did was able to spin the filter off by hand. Took a little torque, but was never any leaks before the change.

[AEVMU]

A tip - lots of oil pans/engines leave about 0.25-0.5 quart or more of oil in the system after draining. With the drain plug still off, pour some oil in and wait until it runs clean out the bottom. This will help push out some of the remaining old oil. I have heard that airplane mechanics do it like this.

[msokes]

I have a 2014 explorer with the 3.5 v6 and typically take it to ford for an oil change. However, if I am doing it myself, I use a motorcraft filter and Pennzoil platinum. Good video.

[markr.]

Prior to putting the filter on, I always fill the filter up with new oil and let it completely fill up before installing...

[WizardOfWhoopee]

In needed this Video oil change. I haven't had to change mine or daughters cars in 4 months.
