THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER! - HOODIES & SHIRTS: teespring.com/braaap-life

I have 322,000 miles on my 2000 silverado with a 5.3 Vortec V8. I change my oil every 3k miles. YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE ENGINE OIL LIFE GAUGE. THAT IS HOW YOU FUCK SHIT UP!!

the worst thing about a diesel? theres nothing wrong with em, thats whats wrong

I hate it so much, I hate how much oil there is to put in it every time. Thank you for sharing the video! Really appreciate it you sharing it !! Inspiring me to do a similar channel myself :)

Can we get the 12 days of dalton? Double upload everyday from the 13th to christmas.

3Dmachines gang, since we all grew up with motor oil and hard work...

So many comments you will probably miss this one but I just wanted to say thank you. I watch your videos everyday before work and you gave me the inspiration to get my sled running I got a 2008 Yamaha fx nytro that needed a lot of work and I got it running now just to get it running like a top. ALWAYS GET THE SHOT keep it up

Just discovered your page and love it! I have stayed up for an extra couple hours watching your videos. Keep up the good work!!

you should be changing the fuel filter every oil change, if not at least every other oil change..

Crew

3D Machines I'm not really a car guy but you make your videos interesting enough for me to watch. Keep it up I liked your snowmobile vids last year so this year should be great too.

I smashed the like button so hard it put a restraining order on me!

Hahahaha you're complaining about 3 gallons of diesel motor oil in your truck. I drive a semi and my kenworth w900 with a Cummins motor takes 13 gallons of oil and the oil filter alone holds 1 gallon of oil. It gets super expensive when you're doing oil changes on a semi it's around $200-$350 per oil change. Right now I have around 800,000 miles on it and it gave me no problems at all yet because I maintain it a lot.

I'm so excited about the 2 video a day thing yea

10 quarts isn't bad. I worked as an equipment mechanic at an airport. 5 to 7 gallons was the norm on our refuelers and big diesel pushbacks. The strangest charge on an oil change came from our forklift, 2 gallons of oil and a new T-shirt. I had to go to the accountant, dripping oil from sleeve, armpit and side to get him to agree to reimburse the cost of a shirt.

Hey 3DMachines when you run a vehicle in your garage you can hook a plastic flex pipe from your exhaust pipe to outside so you don't have to breath it. Keep up the good work! Love the vids.

Diesel engines require lots of maintenance, not just changing the motor oil.

I feel you my grandpa had a 7.3l powerstroke f250 it took so much oil i think like 14 1/2 quarts but dont forget his truck is a 6.6l my grandpas tuck was a 7.3l so it needed one gallon more than he needed

Pull the fill cap off before you drain the oil to help it drain faster. I own a Cummins and it holds 12 quarts with filter. Its a lot of oil but the upside is you can usually go about 15k miles(6 months) before an oil change is due. It changes depending on how you use your diesel.

A couple bits of advice: 1. You should change your oil at 5000 miles. The oil life indicator is set up for 10,000 miles. Most filters are not up to the task of 10k intervals. 2. Wix filters are garbage. Spend a couple extra dollars at Pepboys or O'Reilly's for a AC Delco. Mobil One is also acceptable. 3. Change that aftermarket transmission filter. Get a Allison Genuine filter. $10 and change every 10k miles. Also make sure you keep the debris magnet. I dont want to come off as a dick, I just want you to have a long reliable experience with your LLY.

that truck, it taken care of could go a million miles. it's was better than gasoline.

wait until you replace injectors on it

I wouldn't recommend filling the filter from the center. Oil flows from the outer holes towards the center. May take an extra couple minutes but will prevent any possible crap from entering your engine. Great video btw. 😃🖒

I suggest the CAT fuel filter adaptor to prolong the life of your injection system . Stock GM/Oem style filters are rated for filtration to 10 microns where the CAT is rated for 2 microns .Nice truck!

Hell my 7.3 ford oil change is 15 quarts

When is a new crash test vid coming out please like so he sees it

Dalton, for future reference when doing the oil change on your dirty max. Change the filter before draining the oil. that way you can set the filter in the bucket and not splash oil everywhere. Gm tech here and have done hundreds of these, so pro tip lol

More oil capacity means more oil cooling capacity from the extra oil at the bottom. That's why the Jaguar XJR 4.0L inline 6 gas engine takes 8quarts, they built the engine to be able to run hard and for a long time and not worry about oil getting too hot.

3DMachines Troopers ?

what is that whistle that comes from the truck after the start up.

When pouring fluids - try putting the spout up instead of down. When pouring this will stop the Glug-Glug-Glug which can cause the oil to splash everywhere.

The drain plug on a vehicle does need to be torqued when it's reinstalled. On the Duramax, it varies from 50 to 62 ft lbs, depending on which torque guide you use. But should be at least 50 ft lbs torqued.

buy oil in bulk. I buy shell Rotella t6 in bulk for my cummins. so much cheaper

at least it's not a ford 7.3 it takes like 5 galons

I run Amsoil 15W-40 Diesel Marine Full Synthetic for 25k miles in my 2004.5 with the help of a thorough oil analysis from the lab; it helps save me money due to the extreme long intervals. I've had 0 issues after 205,000 miles. Happy Trucking...

I appreciate how well you take care of your stuff.

How far back are ur vids pre recorded

Army!

Pro Tip: When pouring anything out of a big container like those oil jugs, tip the jug onto the side, it will pour quicker and with more flow. Cheers!

I'm really diggin the 2 videos a day,keep up the awesome work Dalton.

Ohh no $60 worth of oil, prob cheaper in the larger 20l or 5 gal containers. Explains why diesel owners never have cash to replace their cat converter or particulate filter and drive around smelling like shit.

Are you going to buy a 2 stroke dirt bike soon

i feel sorry for the semi truck owners, i work on a company fleet of trucks and the volvo engine takes 36 qts, international takes 42 and freightliner takes 40. i think they hurt pretty bad when it comes to oil changes

that liquid gold comment haha very accurate😂 respect from the UK & UAE!

Wow! 14k likes in just 1 hour!! Let's go machine freaks!!

What happened to the fourweeler?

Diesel engines may require more oil and it may cost a little more but oil changes are less frequent with diesel's compared to gas engines. Like 2-3 times longer. Gas is usually 5000, diesel's are usually 10-15k mileage wise.

I'm surprised your not running synthetic 5w40 in NY. It flows significantly better when your engine is cold. Since I don't drive my duramax enough to warrant an oil change more than once per year and make occasional trips to cold climates I believe synthetic is worth the extra cost. Delo Synthetic 5w40 can be found at walmart for about $20 per gallon and some carry the 2.5gallon jugs. Non-Synthetic is $12/gallon x 3 gallons + $8 for a filter = $44. Synthetic 20/gal x 3 + $8 filter = $68. Only $24 more to go synthetic route, about the cost of a half tank of diesel. Either way you still have a half gallon leftover in the Dmax next oil change will cost you either $12 less or $20 less if going the synthetic route.

No way i would ever go by oil life % Change it every 5000 and you will see you truck will last a long time my 2014 cummins at 5000 miles is 67% all this 8500-15000 mile talk what ever its not a peterbilt

here's a negative...you got glow plugs 😂

I work on school bus and a C service is 28 qts of oil, and 2 fuel filters that cost around 50$. I do these every 12k miles and thats prolly every 2 months on 30 buses.

You've got a good attitude man. You don't do anything I don't know how to do already, but I watch anyway.

Team 3D!!!

Just wondering how much he spent

The oil quantity actually also heavily depends on engine displacement/size. Over here in Europe, my "tiny" 1.6L diesel takes around 1 gallon or 4 liters. Nice video though!

For my truck which is a Gas truck, my oil cost me $90 with the filter which is expensive but I won't have to change my oil for 15,000 miles

Your camera is making a weird noise btw!

It’s funny how he says liquid gold about oil but now diesel it’s self is

I have one of those trucks with the gas 6.0L and it takes over 6 qts to change. A Dmax is only 4 additional quarts. A total non issue, even using a synthetic diesel oil. So what if you spend $60 on 3 gallons of 5w40 synthetic or $39 on 15w40. The real problem with diesels is the absurdly high purchase premium over the exact same gas truck. My truck was 1/3 the cost the same year and miles with the Dmax in it. Diesel is a fad for most buyers. I love the duramax and the cummins engines as much as the next guy but prices for a pre DPF diesel are bonkers. There is also the point that a dmax on synthetic diesel oil can go many more miles per change than a gas engine. Those 10 quarts of oil can take a lot of miles, many more than the oil life indicator would lead you to believe. The real "worst thing about a diesel" should be about how much it costs to change out your injectors when they go out, and they will.

First off it's a chev

You should try the heated remote dual over-sized filter set up that some of the HD units had installed as a regional option around here. Pushes it up to 4 gallons.

Hey Mate, bought a diesel "truck" not long ago. Surprised to find out it takes 9.75 Litres of oil. Straight 5 Cylinder Turbo. Mazda BT50. Loving the vids mate.

To much tongue wagging.

I run 4 gallons of Schaeffer's 5w40 full synthetic at almost $49 a gallon. All diesel owners look into a oil bypass filter setup. I run a bypass system and go 20k between changes. it's worth the investment in the end.

Dalton, I'd highly recommend the Proshot GoPro mount if you are worried about losing it. Just google it they have a website. Mounts right to the chin of the helmet and gives a cool viewing angle in my opinion. I use it in my videos now.

you could add that one bad thing about having a diesel vehicle is running out of fuel. ha ha. did that in my 83 c10 Scottsdale with the 6.2 and a 700r4. had to have another truck to help keep the batteries charged while priming the fuel system. oh and good luck changing the valve cover gaskets on those ha ha.

hey man. really like this 3d event. everytime im on youtube its always a new vid from you. keep on the good work :D and also i love the music in your vids. do you have a playlist og some of the artist so i can listen at home? :D

my 12v cummins takes about 12 liters and i use Rotella full sythetic and a fleet guard filter. costs me total about 120 bucks but I change it every 10-15k kms.

189K mile Ford Super Duty 7.3L 99 model 15 quarts with an oil filter that takes almost 3 quarts. Never missed a beat.

The worst thing about a diesel will come up when you'll have to replace any fuel system component.

The worst thing about a diesel is certainly not changing the oil. Most likely a Hpfp grenading and taking out the fuel system or a stuck injector burning a hole in the piston.

So your duramax takes a little over twice the amount of a similar gasser, but keep in mind that you can go only 3-4K miles on an oil change on a gas truck but on a diesel it is usually somewhere around 10k miles.

My trailblazer takes 7 qts. 4.2 liter. Oil is for more then lubrication, it is also for cooling.

The new '#' and '#' of the year...#yoyo...keep up the great work, can't wait for more...cheers mate!

Dalton if you need bearings just buy reds skateboard bearings they work great and they are probably a lot cheaper than what you currently buy

good choice on filters I maintain a fleet of equipment totally rely on wix

You should check your dipstick before draining the oil. You may have and it just wasn't in the video, but if you're doing an oil change on a diesel you need to check the oil level/ check for dilution

hey Dalton just thought id take a second to tell you that i love your videos and it is a daily routine for me to watch every new video you post up everyday, keep up the great work. I have a question for yah!! What is your favorite dirtbike out of the kawasaki and the honda to ride???

I just noticed how big your Chanel has grown since I subbed this crazy that was like 400k ago

why dont you own a four wheeler anymore???.. p.s. I love how you keep up on your vehicles. keep them running good! not very many people keep their vehicles up to date

I just run no oil in my new Dodge Ram 1500. It makes a sound that sounds cool in my opinion. Saves a lot of hassle

Homeboy sounds like Walter Jr. Was waiting for him to yell out "just fuckin die already!". Hahaha

Love your content dalton! I learn something new every day from your videos

This is why I used Amsoil with a bypass oil filter. After 100,000 miles, the oil still tested good.

I never knew you could hold the enter button to reset the oil life... I always used the pedal trick

There are some cars that take more than 5 quarts of oil for an oil change. My 2011 BMW 328i takes 6.9 quarts or 6.5 liters of oil for an oil change.

As a lube tech, I laugh at people who ge the diesel for better mpg. You quickly make up for it in 100$ oil changes and overall maintenance.

My early '99 F350 7.3l Powerstroke took 15 quarts. There's a couple reasons why diesel motors need larger oil capacity but I'm not going to get into that since it would make a good video for someone to make with some research.

Perfect timing for seeing your video new to diesels and just had my truck in for an oil change 300 miles since the change and oil looks the same as black before change thought it would keep the fresh look for a few more miles no hard driving couple short trips, is that normal. Keep them coming so I can learn more on good maintenance

My 03 7.3L F250 holds 15qts of oil. The filter alone hold like 5 quarts and is bigger than my forearm. Spent almost $500 just on fluids and filters for my 150k mile service.

It's not so bad. My 7.3 takes 15 quarts. You let the oil drain while you cut the lawn. Combination lawn cut & oil change.

well smaller trucks are falling by the wayside. wich sucks because with the milage cars get now it'd be awesome for a daily. family truck. can't haul a huge 7000 pound camping trailer. but you can haul a good bit of wood. a smaller car on a trailer. and still have a more comfortable ride even more than a half tonne and like yours 3/4 tonne. even though they are getting better each year

you should think about putting a oil bypass filter system on there help keep some of the carbon down that gets into the oil and keep the oil cleaner

When I change the oil in my Cummins its 200 bucks. I run full synthetic amzoil and a dual remote bypass filter system.

Dalton man ya gotta throw a nice big 7" tip on your exhaust! Lovin the vids! Keep it up machine freak fam!! Possibly 24 days of dalton?!

He says " I ran the truck for 1 hour before I did this and then I let it sit for an hour and a half" so the oil doesn't burn my skin..........

Keep up the great work Dalton, I learn something new from every one of your videos. Can't wait to see your new sled go braaaaap! Keep the awesome content comin'!
