Nice to see someone who changes his oil as frequently as me

Regarding whether to pre-fill filters. I was actually given the same advice when I was working in a truck shop, that those filters would fill so quickly that it wouldn't make a difference, even on the DD16s and ISXs. I'd argue you're also risking contamination by pre-filling, albeit a negligible amount. Either way, excellent video as always

I prefer ultra platinum myself. I have kinda fallen in love with that oil.

Thanks for the video I’ll be changing mine on a 6.4 liter for first time soon. I got the Pennzoil PUP.

Now show us a transmission, transfer case and both diffs.

It looks like the truck version of the 6.4L uses the physically smaller oil filters that go on the 5.7L vehicles versus the larger filter that is used on the "SRT" 6.2L or 6.4L.

Might be worth mentioning to double check that the gasket came with the old filter after removing. As for Mobil 1 have used it quite a bit with no issues but for whatever reason my wifes toyota with the 2grfe seems to get a bit noiser when i use the "advanced fuel economy" stuff so stopped using it.

Nice job!

This was very helpful. Thanks!

Great video , good explanations and easy to follow

Nice job. Oil is the lifeblood of

Good video. I also carefully wipe the gasket surface on the block before mounting the new filter, to make sure no crud is sitting there. Same with the drain plug washer and pan.

I see you added some length to your mud flaps. Can you give us some details of the material used and the how you attached them. what size was the extension. I remember in your other video you said you needed to make them longer because the stones were chipping the paint. thanks

I have a Power Wagon with the 6.4 as well…just changed the oil on it myself last night…I have used the PUP 0W40 since new and it has about 112k on it now…I switched to Castrol 0W40 because it’s readily available and about half the price of the PUP…one thing I found about those Hemi’s is the oil filters are super small, and I feel it may be a contributing factor to the Cam/lifter failures that are very common to these Hemi engines…the extended oil change intervals coupled with extended idling and the small filter is in my view a huge issue for these engines!..some people are going 20,000-30,000kms between oil changes and that’s just way too much!…I change mine at around 6000-7000 kms and I do not use the factory filter…I use the longer version of that filter which is the same filter that Ford uses on its Duratec engines like the 3.0l and the 3.7l…I use the Mobile 1 M1-212a filter or it’s Fram Ultra equivalent…same filter as the factory recommended filter, just about an inch longer so more capacity!…I was concerned about switching oil brands because I thought it might throw an engine code but it didn’t and I will be using Castrol or maybe even the new Valvoline oil which is supposed to be super good oil!..to reset the oil I think you have to pump the fuel pedal 5 times to reset it!..cheers!

Hey nice tutorial I thought maybe you would install one of those FOMOTO drain valve s. It make it much simpler on oil change

how level the ground is affects drsinage. i drove my 64 hemi up on ramps to give it tilt. oil frsin bolt is now lowest point thus draining more old oil. after filling back up , leveled it out to get true reading of quantity filled.

You should do a video describing what you think is the minimum driving required to keep a modern diesel running right. Can you do a bunch of short trips as long as you have a long drive often enough? What if someone drives really far to travel every weekend towing a heavy 5th wheel, but the drive during the week are pretty short. Is simply getting the engine up to temp enough if you dont drive much after(think a very long commute but you get to work as soon as the engine hits temp). How long after thw engine hits temp should you drive for a healthy engine? How similar is sitting in traffic to just idling? Are there ways to heat the engine up faster? Also you could elaborate on how long your typical regen takes and how your driving affects the process. What if you only get the engine to heat 50% of the time. Id be interested to see it compared to getting it to temp 25% and 75% of the time

Hey the 2500 is looking good. I know you were monitoring potential rust on it a couple winters ago. Any update there? Maybe warrants a video update. We did appreciate you going everywhere under the truck and identifying vulnerable areas and what to do about them

What do you think about the Fumoto oil drain valve? I've been using them for about 30 years and have never had an issue. It definitely makes oil changes a lot easier and cleaner.

How would a person turn the engine over only for the purpose to run the oil pump? Is there a way to do it without spark and fuel?

Where is the oil coming from that has the underside of the truck covered

Been using Rotella T6 5w-40 in wife's 2015 6.4 since new. 72,000 miles now. Compared to my sister's 2022, wife's idles much much quieter. Blackstone reported a little high on iron after 8500 miles, 80% towing, and about 40% was heavy towing (23,000# +). I wasn't happy to see it go that long before an oil change =/

Is that grease under the car undercoating? If so, which one did you use? I personally use surface shield.

Irrelevant question here. Have a 2020 power wagon and was curious if you went down the air bag daystar cradle wormhole. Cjc off road has a removable air bag for the power wagon but at a hefty price. Just curious if you think it’s worthwhile or not for a little bit of help in the rear when towing. Thanks

would you ever add Seafoam in the oil?

Do new vehicles really need torque for drain plug? I only ever do snug w/wrench on my vehicles. If the filter is pointed upwards, fill it, if it's a small filter on the side like that, I never fill because it could spill like I have done in the past and where your filter housing is located, it would be inconvenient due to the filter location and where you have to reach your hand around.

Thoughts on putting a little diesel in your oil just before you change it, given you don't over fill. ?

I have to use a oil filter from the dealer or my truck throws a check engine light

Hey Alex, how are you liking your Power Wagon still? Any off road/snow videos coming out?

I always use some motorkote on my 6.4 hemi in my 16 PW, the hemi oil temp is very high, around 212F, which on a hot day can go as high as 220F, i live in the desert, but motorkote or lubeguard oil additive is a must for me, i do like pennszoil , but have used mobile 1 as well.

@TheGettyAdventures I noticed you have a lot of wetness around that sway disconnect and the front axil tubes. Any concerns of a leak perhaps?

I have 2017 ram 3500 dually that i started putting 15/40 rotella because at 279,345 miles the temperature has been getting hotter so i noticed a drastic decrease in temp and my truck has been driving alot stronger lately . i hotshot in it so it has some rough miles. But at first i went mobike 1 synthetic all the way .

What's with all the oil on the front end components there? Looks really damp under there, leaking power steering or something?

Hi, I know is probably a long shoot. And it has nothing to do with this video. But I was wondering what pick up truck would you recommend to buy. My budget is around 20-25K. I need something 4WD and I will used it as my daily. I know all pick up trucks have mechanical issues, but I would like some advice if possible, of what truck you think is more reliable. Thanks in advance. And I love the content of your videos 👍🏼

All the old gas heavy duty trucks tended to be long stroke smaller bore so they made their torque at a lower rpm and didn't need to rev so hard.

Yeah, “smart people that they are”. No drain on the 1500 Hemi in ‘14. Directly over the steering rack. A bit of foil usually helps. Thanks for the content.

I have a feeling that there are fairly few who still change their oil at the 5000km mark ( I do though ) and is rather enlightening to look at a car fax for various brands of vehicles that were traded into dealerships, some clearly show a pattern of oil change intervals and its not good and perhaps why its being traded in. No doubt partly going by the idiot monitor but also going well past it in some cases.

I only run 0w40 all year round in my Tacoma… it has served me well. I suspect running any new engine on this oil would double engine longevity.

We’re a bunch of oil change Keeners up in here🤣

Whats the oil all over your front end?

I'm with you on the oil. I buy what ever is on sale at the time. As long as it meets the specs. Change it regularly. I've never had engine problems related to oil ever in my 57 years.

Chrysler tech here, great video, but they are *technically* a 1/2 inch drain plug.

Need to add oil to filter

Alex, you're a trip :) Mobil is not pronounced Mo-bile, that's the UK way. Yes, I'm teasing you..... Why O weight in any truck?

damn I want a power wagon

Why is the underneath of your truck so dirty/wet? You have a coolant/oil leak?

I was surprised you are using a 0W-40, the 40 part that is as I am only guessing Ram calls for 5W-30 or 0W-30 ?. I use a fair bit of the Mobil Delvac 0W-40 which is by and large designed for diesel engines and that's what I am using it for ( diesels that will see use year around in Alberta ) , otherwise 15W-40. Gas engines, most everything I have is older so either 10W-30 or 0W-30. Is this a lifter/rocker arm bearing/cam shaft concern that you decided to go with the 40 weight on the top end of its temp spectrum ?

The mobil 1 0w-40 euro has an excellent reputation on the oil nerd website (bobistheoilguy) who discuss engine oils in extreme detail. All good there. But the wix xp, though built very well, is a terrible filter in terms of efficiency. It will let "small rocks" through (exaggerating, but its terrible). Royal Purple 20-820 if you can fit it in, or Fram XG2 (same thing, fitment) are far better options, the Fram Ultra series has excellent filtering ability. I would not use that filter on a hemi prone to lifter failures, those needle bearings are sensitive little beggars.

5k intervals why

I stick with 5w-40 for every oil change!

Swaybar disconnect is a pain

You forgot to grease your front driveshaft.

Why wouldn't they have dip stick? How are you supposed to know how much is in there!? Do they expect it to never leak or burn it? What the hell.

Good process. Im too anal so i wait an hour to for it to drain. PUP5w30 and wix xp for my 5.7 @ 10,000km.

Torque the drain plug with an air impact. Don’t start the bolt by hand, just put the bolt in the socket and get some speed on it before starting it into the oil pan. Return to customer.

Just take it to the dealer. No mess and disposal, cheaper half the time, and gets recorded in maintenance history.

The Mobil 1 doesn’t meet the Chrysler MS-12633 standard for the engine. I would never put anything that in a 6.2/6.4 other then that.

You’re leaking a lot of ok dude jeez

Mobile 1 is junk oil watch an oil analyst video on it.
