Mechanic by trade here - You are doing it right by applying dirty oil to the sealing o-ring of the oil filter. It is not the oil that stops the filter from later binding to the block but rather the particulate in the old oil. If you use fresh oil it is very likely to bind later and make removal a bear of a job.
Drop cloths! Highly recommend. I usually put down something impermeable like plastic or a tarp, and then top it with something absorbent, like a canvas painters drop cloth or some old cardboard. It'll soak up spills, and keep them from bleeding through onto the driveway. Thanks for the video!
You can buy drop clothes with plastic on the backside of it. They are meant for stains not able to soak through and I’m sure it would work for motor oral
I do have suggestion what I do with filter. I just use punch , screwdriver will work too and make the hole on bottom of the filter and drain it. It is less messy when you take it out. And I always fill the new filter with the oil.
Buy from Walmart , if not autozone and orrylies will price match, thanks for the video i took mine in today they put 15w-40 though . I spent about 2.5 hours of my life there with appointment , doing it myself from now on
Nice job. I have been buying Rotella T6 at Walmart anytime it is available as there is a shortage. Even 15W-40 is fine for summer heat as the 5W-40 is more scarce but I buy both. I change mine every 2-3 months as I drive a lot. I would suggest a funnel when pouring old oil into the gallon jugs as I would definitely spill that. :)
@@mcmahansgarage I don't normally shop at Wally World too much but they do have the best price on Rotella when it is in stock. My suggestion is that you order it online and they will deliver it to your house for free. It has been super easy as long as it is in stock at the local store.
Very helpful video I just bought my self an f250 like yours but 21 model and was curious on how bad an oil change would be on a diesel it's my first diesel
Good video. I have a 2023 F-250 and manual says 15 quarts but I've seen a couple other videos like yours that says it's really only 13. Haven't done a oil change yet.
I’m wondering if this would void your 100k engine warranty? Anyone know if Ford can/ will tell you changing your own oil voids warranty? I had one Ford salesman tell me just to buy OEM oil, filters. However, this seems risky to warranty. Anyone else know?
You just want to document your oil changes if you don’t do it at the dealer. It’s not that hard to tell if oil has been changed regularly in the event of an engine failure.
Question for anyone or the poster of the video, on some diesels there’s 2 oil filters usually is this not the case for the 2022 ford f250 and should I replace the air filter as well for each oil change? I’m a diesel newbie and want to know as much as I can about my truck!
Never have. Probably should start because I always pre soak dirt bike oil filters. I do believe if you go based off the manual it says fill the oil filter. All it's really for is that couple seconds when you start and it bone dry.
@@mcmahansgarage no need to prefill a oil filter! I have a 2006 Duramax bought new and never prefilled oil filter. Per my oil samples pulled on a regular basis(every 5000 miles) my engine shows almost no sign metal to be concerned about. Also I was a heavy diesel mechanic for a class 1 railroad and never pre oiled an engine unless it just had a complete overhaul.
Back in the day we used empty gallon milk jugs, and never did we change it 🔥 hot. It would be nice to fit a bucket under there like that, but I'd still put it on ramps since the oil would go back. I would be concerned about the oil filter being damaged. Damn fine truck however.
