Hi Ray, I worked as an aircraft tech and later as a vehicle tech in the military. When I retired I worked on general aviation aircraft (Cessena etc). On an annual inspection we would use the same tool that you have to inspect the oil filter but would also cut the paper element out, rinse in gas and filter through a coffee filter. This would then be checked for materials. Video of process on youtube.

@brianallen9810 Год назад

We did oil samples every 50 hours on the helicopters I worked on. Gas turbines but mostly the gear boxes. Your about the only person I've seen, who doesn't work on aircraft, who actually cuts open the filters and examines them. Smart move. You should also install a Filter Mag on your filter, expensive but it keeps the metal circulating in your engine in the filter.

@canadiansnowplowguy2852 Год назад

@garypillischafske1425 Год назад

Hey Ray, retired fleet manager here. I purchased a small hand held oil analyzer that checks solids (metal etc.) for less than $100.00 and checked the oil in our fleet on my own. Used that to set up change frequencies on various peices of equip ie lift trucks, semis, dumps and even lawn mowers. Saved thousands of dollars by doing so. Don’t remember the brand but I’m sure there out there.

@jonasstahl9826 Год назад

Sorry but this devices dont give you much of valuable information, they only messure the electric conductivity, I wouldnt relay on that to increase oilchange intervals alone. The oil can be out of spec but stil have low electric conductivity, would rather get a real lab test. Than you can valued what your testing device say, with how good your oil realy is from the lab results, that ofcoure only works with the same typ of engine and the same oil.

@TheSimoc Год назад

@@jonasstahl9826 He was speaking about analyzer that checks solids. I really don't know what kind of analyzers are there. All I know is that the solids cannot be checked by conductivity, as they don't constitute a continuous conductive path, and not all solids are even conductive, although most in the case of engine oil are. Thus, I gather an implication that the analyzer he was referring to, was of fancier kind, and the implication is further amplified by the mentioned ballpark price - I doubt a simple conductivity analyzer would cost more than a dozen of bucks.

Hi Ray. I was a Mechanic for over 50 years and on every Oil change I would kill the ignition on petrol engines and Diesel Engines I would shut the fuel off. So I would fill with oil and turn the Engine over on the battery till the oil light went out then let it start. I have seen Machanics doing a simple oil change getting grabbed crank shells and even one where the hydraulic lifters battered the cam hard to the point of permanent damage.

@INTHEWIND1833 Год назад

No need to apologize. Your oil pressure will not change with filters, the pressure is made with your engine bearings clearance and the oil pump. As a side note, your AC compressor hose is on crack. lol

@SupremeRuleroftheWorld Год назад

the cat filter is a serious upgrade. the pleats are much better and the higer surface area allows for slower speed inside the filter wich leads to better filtration. the cat filters are vastly superior to your current one. industrial stuff like cat is more expensive but the quality is basically impeccable.

@samvalentine3206 Год назад

I did a quick price comparison from the AC Delco to the Cat, and the CAT filter is only around $7-10 more, depending on where one gets it. I'd gladly pay $10 more to get that additional filter material and extra oil capacity for my engine! Great move for Ray I'd say, eh? 🙂

@tonypippin9097 Год назад

I did some research looking for a Cat replacement for my 6.7 powerstroke. Found more than a couple reviews and warnings regarding the adaptor for the duramax and Cat filters that didn't have the bypass for the powerstroke. I think I'll have to do a bit more research before I make a decision on this upgrade. That aside, really love the video's Ray. You've given me more confidence to work on my ride. Thank you for helping me with that. I also noticed that I started verbalizing the clicks and gravities while working. 🙂

@craigquann Год назад

Could also use fleetguard or Baldwin etc. They're a bit cheaper than a cat filter...

@SupremeRuleroftheWorld Год назад

@@craigquann i'll stick to cat just like most OEM parts. but especially with industrial equipment there is no budget quality version, there is only the basic philosphy that any from of cheaping out on parts like this will costs millions to companies and hurt reputation wich will sink cat. you can be sure that its good and it will work as advertised with plenty of margin built into the design. its as far as possible from regular car oem replacement parts as you can get in terms of quality.

@craigquann Год назад

@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld to each their own. But you do realize it's all the same 99% of the time. And given fleetguard is owned by Cummins... I'd say it's a safe and cost effective alternative. We switch between them at work all the time especially if availability is an issue.

@henrysmiglicki4731 Год назад

Just a thought, when you opened the oil filter and did a inspection, you can go to the next step, by using side cutters, cut the metal strip at the end, pry up the locking strip holding the folded paper. Next use a sharp knife cut the paper filer at each end, pry out the paper folds, divide the folds of the filter, next put the paper folds in a vice and squeeze the oil out, tight as you can, remove from vice (note catch oil, this is messy ) open the paper folds, reinspect. Any metal will be stuck to the paper filter clear as day. Oil analysis are good with there graphs and % numbers and etc. etc. But when you see the different types of specks of metal, well, now you know. This maybe a rabbit hole you may not want to go! They say ignorance is bliss!

@garymills6702 Год назад

If you were a total oil obsessive, like me, then you'd do what I do and that is to put magnets on the filter. I use a worm drive hose clamp around the filter to keep the magnets firmly attached. I've never cut a filter open to check on it so perhaps that's a project for you to do. I'd be interested to see that. And can I comment on a recent vid of yours when you related how a guy ran over one of his kids whilst reversing. I found this upsetting to think of and would recommend you to get a couple of wide angle mirrors to put in your workshop. That way you can actually see if there's anything or anyone behind you. Just a thought.

@Dank_Lulu Год назад

Dunno why, but upgrading civilian tech to run with industrial-grade components (which are obviously higher-performance) is a special treat to me. Thanks for sharing!

@ToddAdams1234 Год назад

The longer filter will NOT allow for mor oil pressure, BUT what it WILL DO is allow for better filtration over the life of the oil change on the oil that is in the engine because of more filter. That’s why on Fords that take a 51515 (FL1A) I run a 51713. The numbers that I spouted off are Wix numbers but the idea is the same concept.

@scannerlanier471 Год назад

I agree, it won't add oil pressure, just more filtering. The only additional oil pressure might come from more oil in the system. More oil circulating in the system might make it run a little, and I mean a little cooler, but pressure should be negligable.

@rickmoulton6337 Год назад

on the older ford 4.0l v6 engines that took the fl-1a ford filter there was a cat filter that crossed over where you didnt need the adapter. the oil filter added a .5 quart of oil to the capacity. i did this to my 1997 ford ranger. i always got funny looks when i got the truck worked on with a cat filter on it.

@nephicus339 Год назад

26:07 - I'm suddenly reminded of a couple years ago, my mom telling me that my sister would be late to our get-together because her truck "only has 5% oil in it, so she's stopping to get a liter or two." My immediate response was, "If her truck only has 5% oil left in it, it shouldn't be running. If she feels better getting a liter or two of oil, fine, but ask her to wait until I get there to check it out before she adds it." -- yeah, her oil was full, it was at 5% life. Glad she waited before dumping two liters in. lol (I'm from Canada, we use liters, but it would be a pint in US, or half pints; but you knew that)

A good idea is to know at least 1 or 2 alternative filters that are compatible to the CAT filter upgrade. It also is good practice to keep a spare filter on hand in case of an unexpected oil change.

Fleetguard and Baldwin make them as well as Donaldson. Not sure of the part #'s but it's easy to cross reference

@duanebuck193 Год назад

That's the same filter I run in my Cat 3126 in my RV! This is actually the high efficiency filter (the better of the two). Hopefully yours isn't going to be the challenge to take off that mine is - they seem to tighten themselves onto the housing quite well after a few miles. I found that purchasing them from Cat was actually the better price almost every time!

@robertbullcarmichael9856 Год назад

@larrymixer144 Год назад

Ray, the reason you got two cat filters is because most of the big truck Cat engines use two oil filters so they pack them that way. Don't forget to do a few extra pre-start cycles extra to fill that bigger filter before you start the engine. I didn't think anything about till you mentioned you only needed one in your case. Does the change in filters change the oil use intervals on the engine? About all the diesel engines I work on are in ag equipment, lots of filters.

Nipple Extractor - if no one knows what you're asking for, try their alternate names - "nipple wrench" or "inside pipe wrench". Like a conventional pipe wrench, they are the only tool which actually bites tighter the harder you pull on the handle. They are used a fair bit in plumbing especially in natural gas and propane lines which tend to have lots of small close nipples. At my plumbing supply store, we sold them from 3/8" to 1" NPT (remember NPT is based on the INSIDE diameter of the pipe). They're great for taking out damaged hose barbs threaded into automotive water pumps, also for removing damaged automotive sensors if you can get enough of the sensor broken or drilled out of the housing in order to insert the tool. Hope this helps someone someday.

My 22 years as a mechanic in the USAF, we had regular testing and cal of all torque wrenches. If one was dropped, it went directly to Bench Stock for testing and cal. I was doing some sensitive head work on a Mercedes a few years back and wanted to make sure that my T wrenches were accurate. I could find no place that did calibration of T wrenches. Most places I went looked at me as if I had lobsters crawling out of my ears! Finally, I went to a large machine shop and tested my wrenches V a new, fresh from Snap-On Super Hero maga expensive T wrench. What good is a torque wrench if it is inaccurate?

Nice Oil Filter conversion Ray. 🤠

@musicwv Год назад

So... Once upon a time I was an automotive filter development and testing engineer for heavy duty filters at a certain three letter company. The only thing I would say is that it might cause undue stress on your filter base. The base/filter combination is stress tested in a enviro/shake chamber to make sure that it will hold up through hot/cold cycles for the life of the filter. It could cause leaks in the long run so just keep an eye on it. The other issue is that the oil pressure is a component of flow and is typically engineered to a certain spec from the OEM. The larger filter could drop the oil pressure and it could effect engine lubrication due to not flowing at the same flow rate and pressure. You might not notice an issue during driving, but the flow of lubricant in the engine could be impacted and not reach all the places it should. If the filter has the same relative restriction for your system, you should be OK.

Pretty much any oil filter has an anti-drain valve. The only reason a filter is mounted straight upright is to reduce mess. We have a 321 cat excavator that has is oil filter upside down. It's a damn mess, but no issues. Think it's actually uses that 1R-1807.

Ray, I once installed a larger (longer) oil filter on a Jeep CJ5. The filter mounted horizontal (parallel to the ground) similar to the way it appears to on your truck. My wife hit a large pothole while accelerating. This jared the oil filter enough to flip the gasket. She didn't realize what was going on. Ran the oil out and seized the engine. I always assumed that this happened because of the additional leverage applied to the oil filter connection from the added length and weight of the non stock filter. I have no way to know if my assumption is correct but from my experience I would advise you to pay close attention to oil pressure if you find yourself on a rough road with the engine under heavy load.

@andrewbarnett84 Год назад

Hi Ray the only issue I see with the longer filter is, the possibility of impact with the axle shaft, on compression in deep ruts etc.

@91CavGT5 Год назад

His truck is independent front suspension so the front differential does not move when the suspension moves. So, it should not be an issue.

@andrewbarnett84 Год назад

@@91CavGT5 True but the axle moves up and down, with potholes, ruts and the like and if it moves too far up could impact the filter.

@91CavGT5 Год назад

@@andrewbarnett84 I was under the understanding that the axle on that truck is mounted so that it does not move at all, even when hitting pot holes. Is it connected to the truck with more or less trailing arms that would allow it to move several inches or is it bolted solidly to the truck with bushings that would only allow very minor movement of say 1/4”?

@andrewbarnett84 Год назад

@@91CavGT5 Well, you may be correct, the axle shaft visible near the oil filter may travel to the transfer box, in which case should have little movement. My Bad.

@genechoate5020 Год назад

You are correct, the front diff is mounted in bushings and doesn’t move, the only way the front driveshaft would hit the oil filter is if a u-joint breaks!

@daveporter9222 Год назад

Hey Ray, Now that you got a big truck filter on your Duramax. You should be able to choose from a smaller micron to bigger micron filter. Your average parts person probably it’s not gonna have a clue which is which, but if you go to the big truck dealership or cat repair shop they should be able to let you know which is which.☮️🇺🇸

@jimmiller7293 Год назад

I would be concerned with the flow rate and micron (size of particulate that will b pass thru) rating. May be fine but I would sure want to know.

@cookingmailman6086 Год назад

just one more case of Ray being thorough! keep it up!

@kellygiesbrecht9933 Год назад

I run a 07 5.9, recently I switched to the K&N oil filter, so far its been good for me, I haven't had any issues

@robertpage2023 Год назад

Just a concern/suggestion. I would have put some plastic like a used grocery store plastic bag around the uni-joint to keep the old oil off it. My concern here is that when you broke out the spray cleaner that it might seep into the uni-joint bearings and diluted the grease and or dissolving it making the uni life shorter.

@robertpage2023 Год назад

@@cbcalhoun I considered that but being that there is a rubber seal guarding the opening and there is a lot more fluid oil to dilute, I didn't think it as dire as the fact that those Uni caps are not sealed and there is a very small amount of grease in each cap bearing. It's a given that if you can see dark grease/oil at a point of bearing, there is friction heating up that lubricant and causing it to leak. That should be a dead give-away. The Jeep seems to have this evidence at every one of it's uni joints. Take a look at the videos where Mr. Ray was working underneath, you can see those dark stains on every uni joint especially there at the one at the wheels that comes off the diff. i know that if I owned that vehicle I'd be pulling those uni's out and cleaning and greasing those caps. It's called "preventive maintenance". Before when Mr. Ray was under a specific work order and could only do what he was ordered to do, I understood his work ethic involving those jobs but now with his own business he can not just do the work under request but for sure involve the owners into his concerns and fulfill the vehicle's immediate and down the road needs. It's what anyone would want in someone that you trust to handle your vehicle's wellbeing. I'm already getting the impression that the people who leave their vehicles with Mr. Ray KNOW that he is going to go the extra mile to make sure that they are happy with his work and that their vehicle is well taken care of. The old place of work he left seemed to attract people who just wanted to get enough to get by and really had no respect for the mechanic telling them that they needed specific things done to insure the safety of the vehicle. The "safety of the vehicle" translates to the safety of the driver and passengers. We've seen in many of Mr. Ray's past videos where he continuously tried to translate his concerns to the customers even though they were not interested in hearing them. And, we NEVER saw him cheat ANYONE!

Excellent upgrade there Ray, and was very kind of Cody to provide an early Christmas present even if it did provide us a pouring addition to the video. Will be interesting too see how it changes the filtration for your Duramax so awaiting that update. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎄🎄🎅🤶🎄🎄

@NY411Info Год назад

Aimed @ Ray...Nice functional unit added to the work truck. You keep her oil changed, she will take care of you. I will have to inform owners my way of the product since we have many gravel and stone pits up my way and I know most of the owners.

@johnme7049 Год назад

I remember back in the day when you could put a 2 qt. filter on the Chevy V*, but they were mounted vertically. That is a lot of weight hanging off sideways there. I'm sure I'm just a worry wart. Anyway, I hope it works wonders for you. And you didn't think we would want to see another oil change video. Silly Rainman. :D

@loganramos6900 Год назад

Would love to see a "kidney filter" or a "bypass" filter install to see if it really keeps that oil from turning black like people say, and help keep that motor lasting for miles.

@Paul070 Год назад

@Logan Ramos I have been running a Frantz by pass kit on my 06 LBZ Duramax for 14 years with oil sample pulled every 3000 mi. My oil turns black from the soot but tests clean. My TBN and wear metals are all in check with 189,000 mi on the clock. Truck also pulls a 33' 16,000 pound 3 horse gooseneck trailer on a regular basis in the summer.

In regards to the comments on the side door: I've suggested the same thing before, make it a left hinged door and spring load so that it will self close. Even recommended putting a long spring on the existing door (like a gate, and least expensive option) so far no response. However, I can re-do my truck, priorities are different for all. It will probably be delegated to the Wife Unit. 😊

@marclytle644 Год назад

I believe you can add an oil pressure sensor (and all sorts of sensors) with better resolution and accuracy than your current stock gage by adding a sensor to the Banks iGuage. Could make testing add ons like the CAT oil filter a bit more informative.

@johne6081 Год назад

This is very similar to what knowledgeable owners of circa 2000 VW Passats and Audis with longitudinally mounted 1.8T engines. The front crossbeam restricts the oil sump capacity to a measly 3.7 qt. with the recommended OEM filter. We substitute one-liter Mann 950/4 oil filters, which barely clear the left engine mount during installation. This boosts oil sump capacity to 4.3 qt. These engines are infamous "sludge [coke] monsters," but when we replaced the valve cover gasket, the top end of mine showed some varnish, but not coke particles.

@chknlyps2373 Год назад

We have 2 06 duramax's at work and one time I was putting the dipstick in and it bound up and flexed the cable a little and I got a quick spark from the positive lead on the battery. That dipstick cable now has a couple burnt strands on it. I can confirm it can happen

@Antony_Jenner Год назад

Hey Ray have you considered a centrifugal oil cleaner for you rig? Toyota ran them on the 2HD engine, they work a treat and there are after market ones as well. Just a thought.

@c.b.816 Год назад

Hey Ray! I noticed you were a quart and a half low. There's a lot of oil seepage at the forward edge of the bell housing. I'm not saying it is or it isn't, that's not my lane. I just wanted to ask after the rear main oil seal. At what service interval should the rear main be replaced? I hope you a having a great day, remember to smash a like, maybe a subscribe, button if you are reading this.

If a rear main isn't leaking enough for you to have to park in the yard, the service internal is not yet

@SeanONeill13 Год назад

You might not believe this, but I changed my F250 oil last week, it was cold out too, and did NOT spill a drop. I tilted the drain pan to start then flattened it, had #2 on standby, used a magnetic puller for the plug, and undid the filter, slightly, and let it drain 5mins before undoing. Very very proud moment for me. 😊

@worry2much Год назад

Curious if you ever considered a Fumoto or similar device to make oil changes easier. Possible solution for positive cable bottle cap from a bottle of soda and some type of reusable adhesive.
