I do like the idea of poking a hole in the filter. How would you go about doing this? Sharp punch and a hammer? Wonder if you would still get some oil spilt on you. At least the filter sides would be oil free.

@@OldSoulMillennial I use cordless drill but most my friends use small phillips screwdriver

I would not do that as the cons of doing that are far greater vs no mess aka: you bought/recieved the wrong filter size and this may be your only vehicle, someone overtightened the filter and you need to drive and get a special tool, someone did you dirty and jb welded the filter. I know these sound extreme but you never know when extreme things can happen vs saving a small mess (that cardboard would've prevented anyways)

Valid

The KZfaq critics disagree lol

@@OldSoulMillennial oil pressure in modern engines really does mostly eliminate the need. It doesn’t hurt, however. I still pre-fill sometimes. I also drive a 6.7, 9 times out of 10 I do not pre-fill lol. Great oil analysis every time. No DEF tank for me. No pig piss thank you 😂

Just watched a engine builder complain, that after a oil and filter change. The oil pump has to pump over a half a gallon of oil, before the mains and cam shaft mains to get oil. I personally know a person that had spun mains on their crank, just outside of the warranty. The oil filter alone holds a quart of oil.

@@RodneyVaal-rq3wy Are you suggesting that engineers designed an engine so bad that it spun bearings because of the low oil pressure immediately after an oil change ? you know that doesn't make any sense, right ? If that were true, the world would be filled with low mileage engines with spun bearings and YT would be full of "experts" advising us not to change our oil too often in order to limit the risk of damaging the engine from all the dry starts. In reality, there are no "dry" starts after an oil change. First, you're never going to drain all the oil, second, engine oil is designed to stick to engine surfaces and that remaining film is more than enough to protect your engine while waiting for the new oil to circulate after it's been changed. Case in point: Mercedes have the oil filter located at the very top of the engine with the inlet at the bottom. It is impossible to prefill them, yet it's not like Mercedes has a reputation for short-lived engines...

not true

Ford claims that the truck has an "intelligent oil life sensor". You be the judge on wether you trust it or not. Typically when I change my oil, I put a label on my windshield when my next oil change is due. I also reset the oil life filter. I never let the oil life monitor pass 7,500 miles. If you can afford it, changing the oil earlier is always better.

@@OldSoulMillennial thanks for the reply.

Sorry Terry, I don't have that info. If anyone else does, please chime in

@@user-mo8cz3ev6q I change mine every 2nd-3rd oil change.

Ford cannot deny a warranty claim as long as the parts and oil used are proper specification (period). He's fine.

@@billspruce8368 hi I agree 👍 totally like I said stick with ford genuine parts from oil to anything they should honor the warranty but there have been cases where oil samples and off brand filters have voided the warranty its all politics when it come to warranty

Nice, I love the screens in the 2022’s. As for where to recycle your oil. My town has a hazmat drop off day once a year where they take used motor oil free of change. So I would first check with your town or county. You can usually find info and contact info on their website. If that doesn’t work, I believe stores that sell motor oil, are required to accept used oil by law. I’ve dropped used oil off at auto zone and Walmart without a problem in the past. Be sure to label the container “used motor oil”. Last last resort option would be to ask a local mechanics shop if they would take it in. Check with your town first.

@@OldSoulMillennial Ok,,,thank you,, this is my first Diesel I will be owning, so want to do things right, also what is the best Oil to use,, is it the Rotella,, I had a buddy of mine years ago swear by that oil he used it in his drag racing car,, I Just want to do things right as repairs on diesels are not cheap,, thanks for the info

@Just stuff and things What brand you use is completely up to you. Regardless of brand, you must use a “diesel” motor oil (different than gas motor oils). If you can afford it, full synthetic oil is best. Pick an oil weight that best matches your normal driving climate. The chart is shown in this video

Autozone and most major parts store will take your used oil for free. Have been doing it for years and only 1 time did I catch the store that their waste used oil was full. Great service that not to many people know about

My truck makes serval noises when it shuts off. The noises mainly consist of electronic valves and actuators cycling. I believe the purpose is to ensure nothing gets seized and perhaps to conduct a quick self check. I would not describe any of those noises as a “priming noise”.

Thanks Joel. I have the fuel filters sitting on my shelf. I will make a video doing the fuel filters at my next oil change. (1,000 miles away)

Video comes out tomorrow at 11:30 am EST

Thanks for the correction

You can if you’d like. However, the truck will prime the system automatically so long as you cycle the key as I specified in my video. Personally, I prioritize getting the filter installed on properly over filling it up with diesel and spilling diesel in my face. Oil filter, totally different story. I recommend always pre-filling the oil filter on the 6.7.

@@OldSoulMillennialoh cool - and the gasket doesn’t need fresh oil on it? That was kinda beaten into me when I was little I would imagine things have changed a bit (no longer able to beat the kids and make them work for example)😂

@@devbella5223 I’d say lubricate the gasket with some residual diesel. It may help the gasket seat, but for this, I feel it’s not critical. Again, a twist on filter, lubricate that gasket extremely well.

Depends on usage. If you're dropping the kids off at school then you go a little longer.

He literally said depending on how you drive… lol

I don't mind leaving a little oil film on the filter. Sometimes I'll ansi wipe the oil pan and surrounding frame with a used oil towel. Two Words, Rust Protection. And I thought it would be obvious to check if your filter leaks after replacement.

Yes, I still use K & N oil filters. I was unable to find shell for about a year (Supply chain issues), so I was using Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme SAE 5W-40 for a while. Just switched back to shell because it's cheaper and available.

Thanks. I already made a video. It covers everything in detail. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orZlYLeHs6msqaM.html

Thank you!

*too

I plan to change them every second oil change. I will do a video on that next oil change.

every 15 heavy use or 20,000 under normal use

It's in the owners manual, maybe you should read it. And yes, I do use my truck to get groceries. It's part of being a self sufficient adult.

You don't have to, but its definitely good practice. We see guys that come to the shop having def related problems cause they run it too low in between fill ups.

I have a diesel SUV and I fill the DEF tank at every oil change. When do you think it should be filled ?

Except for the part that it's a federal crime. Thowse days are long over.
