In this video we change the oil in a 3.6 5th gen Ram 1500. It should apply to most 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 models as well. #5thgen #ram #1500 #2019 #2020 #2021 #2022 #3.6 #v6 #pentastar
I get 5 gallon buckets from restaurants in my area. I use a drainage pan with a spout and just pour it in and leave it overnight and it all drains out beautifully and effortlessly. If you put up a craigslist or Facebook add somebody will take the full 5 gallon buckets for projects. I use it for exterior wood waterproofing in my yard. Keeps the ants and termites away and permanently waterproofs even plywood and wet weather.
If this was my truck I'd put a fumoto valve on it. It would allow you to put a small piece of hose on the end and direct the oil flow past those bolts. You could even leave the piece of hose on it. It works good on my outback and it does not have this same issue.
I’ve since found that if I partially hold the plug with my hand (instead of fully removing it), I’m able to direct the oil flow and remove the bolts. I’ve considered the valve, but am irrationally afraid of it dumping the contents of the oil while it’s running haha!
I always drain the oil when it’s close to operating temp so it drains faster. More heat=more flow. If you drain when cold, it likely will not flow as fast or as far as
I have videos for everything on my RU-vid channel, feel free to take a look! I have not done trans fluid because it has a longer service interval and I’m not at that many miles yet. Will do once I get there.
If you break the oil filter housing, you would need to remove the intake manifold to replace it. I mentioned that in the video as a caution to not over tighten the plastic oil filter cap and break the housing. Removing the oil filter involved a 15/16 socket as pictured. If you don’t break anything, nothing else to remove lol
Not sure, this video applies to 5th gen rams with the 3.6 though. I believe yours would technically still be a fourth gen, can’t comment on what those specs would be.
I actually have two. One of them was in my plumbing kit and the other one I had with my Harley-Davidson tools😂 I think I used it on my front fork replacement upgrade couple years back..
15/16 is a spark plug socket; more common is the 13/16. The other socket size is 24mm deep socket. Most parts sores carry these sizes as individual sockets. Harbor Freight does sell them as individual sockets. The oil filter housing was manufactured as a metric part so the metric socket will fit the best.
