DIY Oil Change on 5th Gen Ram 1500 2019-24 V8 Hemi *EASIEST METHOD* 

I’ve been doing my own oil changes for over 40 years and I never though to use a zip lock bag over the oil filter. Great idea! Looking forward to not making a mess next time. Thanks!

I use the 2x Zip Lock bag method, 1 or 1/2 gallon works well. I break the oil filter seal, turn it about 1/2 turn, slip on the first bag and continue loosening until the oil starts to pour into the first bag. I wait about 30 seconds until the oil stops, slip off the first bag into a waiting shallow pan I have to the right of me. I slip on the 2nd bag, and then continue to unscrew the filter until it's off, wait about 10 seconds after the filter comes off to catch any of the oil in the oil filter mount. Drop that 2nd bag into the pan I have right next to me and done. Zero drips, no mess.

Thanks for the video! I own a 2019 RAM 1500 Rebel and have decided I am finally done paying $$$ for 3 hour oil changes at the dealership. I feel more confident now, nice tricks! Thank you!

The step by step oil change was good for a first timer. 👍

That has to be the cleanest filter removal I've seen on YT. Amazing job. I'm about 2 weeks from my first change on my '23 and I'm dreading it. Thanks.

Just changed mine for the first time and I used an oven turkey bag. Worked flawlessly and the bag is heat rated so no worry of hot oil melting the bag, that will be my "go to" here on out

You really shouldn’t make sure the oil filter area is “dry”. The gasket should be lubricated and technically you should prefill the oil filter before installing

I did my first oil change like that at 1,000 miles and went with a Pacbrake relocation kit now no mess and 15 min oil change.

Big Ups to you on this video. I've changed the oil on older rams before but this was the first time on my 2019 1500 LL. That gallon big hack for the filter was on point. 2 drops spilled, which was me when I pulled the bag down. Awesome

Good idea on the gallon baggie... In the past, I would cut the sides of a plastic bag and drape that over the power steering rack (2012 ram) to prevent oil from degrading the boot and in general making a mess. I am in the middle of the first oil change on my 2022 (bought it new with 8 miles on odometer about 2 months ago), and noticed the new set up and the much much smaller oil filter.

I hope you’re lubing the top of the new filter with fresh oil, I definitely didn’t see you mention that important step.

I got an oil filter relocation kit. BEST thing I did for my RAM, dont even need to lift the truck for an oil change. Oh, and one of those drain plug that you attach a hose to. Easy peasy

I've got the same truck, thank you for the tip I'll try it next time. And great video production, you clearly spent time on it. A tip for you since you keep your stuff clean. Harbor freight sells an oil change funnel kit. It comes with screw in adapters for filler opening then the funnel locks into that. No need to worry about it flopping around when the weight of the oil is in it. Comes with lids to keep out dirt when not in use. I recommend

Congrats on best video actually showing everything and perfectly clear and concise. I will use this method on my 22 1500 5.7 for sure. I wish I'd seen this before I bought a slightly different sized oil wrench ( 2'13/16 to 3 1/8) Hopefully it will fit. My first time changing oil on new truck.

After watching your video near the end of the video, I suggest that you add lubricating the "O"-ring on the oil filter with a little oil. This method should be used with ALL "O"-rings, they should be lubricated with the liquid that they are sealing. I liked the plastic bag trick, I will use it the next oil change. Thanks

I will be changing the oil myself on my 2021 bighorn 5.7 thanks to this video

Great video! Plastic bag method worked perfect, no mess. Thanks for the help!

See a lot of guys running 5W-30 to eliminate the RAM tick

Double wrenching like a real mechanic. My man

Just discovered my dealer left the old filter sitting randomly in my suspension. Cant wait for that call tomorrow morning.😡

1st oil change on my ram bighorn .. thanx for the ziploc bag tip... so obvious but never would have thought to do that

Great job removing that filter. Thanks for posting.

I just bought a 2019 Ram new body style and yes the filter is in a tight spot 🤬 I always fill my new filter before installing. Thanks for the video !

I'm guessing we don't need to add a washer to the drain plug?? Just replace the drain plug as is?? Great video, keep up the good work ✔️👌

When using the ziploc bag method, please wait for the oil to cool a bit because the hot oil will burn the hell out of you! Good luck 👍🏼

Excellent idea to use plastic gallon bag for capturing oil around filter. Thanks!

I use that Wix filter and have the same oil wrench... but I use Mobil1 0-W20. I'm only an inch taller than you and need that ladder and do NOT have it lifted. I still fit underneath it though. :)

I saw the red tow hooks!! damn they look good. I was contemplating black or red. I think I'm going red on my white night edition

Great tip with the bag on the filter! I hate how there wasn't much thought given to the maintenance required here.

Nice video, thanks for putting it together for us!

I get a piece of extra wide aluminum heavy duty foil. Feed it up between the rack and the axle guided underneath the oil filter and when it drains it gets all over the aluminum foil. Swap the oil filter. Pull the aluminum foil out and you're all good

2 Gallon home depot bucket works great for oil changes

ccan you do a guide on actually jacking the truck up? it would help alot!

You really should have put that little oil spout in the pan. There's one with a 90 degree outlet. Nice video!

thanks for the video - great idea on the bag. moving to doing my own oil change vs paying my mechanic to do it. I like him, but can save $ and know I'm on the oil I want... was hoping there'd be a bit more room, but beats trying to change the oil in my 2006 toyota...

Nice Video!! Just wondering did you fill the oil filter with oil first or did you screw it on as is out the box? Some say you must do that some say it doesn't matter. Curious as to what you did Thanks

I see you got your oil recovery pan on clearance at harbor freight, 👍👍good so you I paid full boat.

A plastic party cup works well too

Awesome video - thank you so much!

😬hey pals !!! I have a situation here. I have a 2021 ram v6. U was doing the oil change on my truck , its first oil change . I have had many different cars and ford trucks and alway do the oil change and ive been doing it for 20 years. So the plug on this ram was very tight . I start loosing it little by litthe taping the end of the my wrench to not damaged the bolt. Once llit was loose woth no issues , i drained the oil and start putting the plug back. Once i got to a tight poin BY ONE HAND I gave it another little tight by hand and the oil pan cracked like aboit 6 inches . The crack runs right through the bolt threat 3 inches on each side. Never knew about something like this happening. Man is this made of cardboard or what ?

I like to spray everything down with break clean to remove all left over oil

PITA...but I like the bag idea...but rusty 2012 needs to be oiled lol

Hi. So much data advising 5-20 full synthetic oil. My 2024 book recommends 0-20. Is there a reason to go with 5-20? Thanks

Any install videos for that catch can?

Great tip on the gallon bag

Used a 12 point wrench on a 6 point bolt.... Hmmm.

I am hoping you will be showing the 3.6 pentastar, but so far it’s looking like a 5.7 hemi

that's a cool tile you have, could you share what tire is it? is it good for backcountry/ offroading?

I spent the money and put a oil filter relocation kit, so much nicer now

Ok, question about that drain plug valve. I looked it up on Amazon but I'm curious if the sway bar is in the way too much for it to fit properly. As it is, the sway bar makes it a pain in the ass to get a socket on without lowering the sway bar. Your thoughts?

Bag / filter ❤

How do you decide what oil to put in the truck? I just follow what the manual says. For me, the manual recommends 0w20 oil. I see allot of people putting 5w20 and 5w30.

Why MUSIC ?

Do you run synthetic oil or conventional in the 5.7 hemi? I have a 2020 and the dealership says conventional is fine but everything online says you should only run full synthetic? I’m concerned I should switch to synthetic?

Great video, we are ofcthe same kin... an*l about doing things right. Do you have a part number for the catch can you use?

If you cut one of the corners off the bottom of the ziplock bag then use a zip tie to tie the opposite bottom corner off so it forms kind of a pastry bag/ funnel shape. Use another zip tie to zip tie the bag around the oil filter tightly. Slide a phillips head screw driver through the hole in the corner of the bag you cut out. Using a small hammer GENTLY TAP a hole in the bottom of the filter.Remove the screw driver and let the oil flow out of the filter, into the bag and out the hole into your oil tray. You'll have to loosen the oil filter in 2 or 3 steps without removing it completely for all the oil to drain. Then remove the filter completely and wipe off the mating surface on the engine block. Not one drop of oil spilled and no mess whatsoever. Changed my oil several times using this method and haven't spilled a drop.

Trying to decide on headlights now and noticed you dropped the alpharexx headlights for VLAND ones and I’m suprised. How come ? I was thinking I’d get the alphas but did you have an issue

How good is that intake on ur truck. I have the same one. And want to get one. Performance wise how’s it doing ?

My 2022 bighorn hemi says to use 0W20?

Anybody here punching out the bottom of the filter with an awl to then drain the oil?

Did you ever end up installing the oil quick release? Also do you have the link to where you got the catch can?

Size wheels and tires? Leveling kit?

I didn’t know that i can use a full synthetic oil on my 2019 ram 1500,

My 5th gen 5.7 calls for 0w-20.

Ty for this video! Tons of help. Great detail!

Still have this truck also where did you get the red accent tow hooks etc

What lift? I went with the RC with assembed struts.

Thank you man

I changed the oil in my truck exactly one time. I said f*** it after that. I'll go to jiffy lube. Which sucks because I kind of enjoy changing my own oil however this truck is a nightmare. No matter what you do you're going to make a huge mess.

is that bright white or ivory pearl??mint truck deciding on what color

Friend, in the 2021 RAM, the same amount of oil is used, I wonder?

are you sure that oil filter is a replacement for the mopar one? (WIX 57060XP)

You got the tick yet?

Any tips on that cold air intake?

Do you think the Pennzoil Platinum is best for Hemisphere vs Royal Purple, or others?

The oil catch can oil shouldn't be put back in to your truck. The purpose of the catch can is to remove crude and anything that shouldn't be cycling through your crank case. I'd empty the catch can into your oil catch next time. Otherwise you're throwing bad oil back in with the new oil change.

What CAI is that??

Don't forget to check level. I didn't see you use the dipstick.

What was the point of the Fumoto valve if you weren't using it?

What cold air intake are you running?

fujimoto valve no problem or mess

Sickkkk looking. Truck

I triad a grocery bag. Didnt go very welll

Is that f104n valve the correct one for a hemi on 22 models? Thanks

Whats the specs on your lift and tires & wheels?

I use to always hand tighten but this truck and my car leak oil if I don't tighten the oil filter with whatever you can tighten it with safely without damaging the filter. Out of all the vehicles I've owned this oil filter location is horrible and the worst.

Oil catch can is that stock part?

Man, that oil was very black. Something is wrong if it got that way at 4000 miles. Also, I only know of one thing that could cause oil in the air intake, the crankcase ventilation system. Check your PCV valve.

no crush washer?

I believe it's supposed to be 7 qts of oil bot 5qts

Why did you change your oil at 4000 miles I just ran my ram over 8000 miles and still had life left in my oil change

You’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to use some channel lock pilers and completely crush the old filter

Great video man, very informative.

Hell yeah BSO boys

Cool 😎 !

buddy ahh help saved a fvck ton of money

Should of gotten amzoil. Oil filter is a pain in the ass location.

THAT SHIT MAKES A MESS NO MATTER WHAT, BETTER OFF BUYING AND INSTALLING AN OIL FILTER RELOCATION KIT AND JUST BE DONE WITH ALL THAT SCREWING AROUNG FOREVER!

I hope you prefilled your oil filter. That saves 3-4 seconds of dry start. Here is the link that proves why. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-939WTeorBnQ.html
