DIY OIL CHANGE ON A 12.7L DETROIT FREIGHTLINER CLASSIC 

Thanks for all you do..keep up the great work. I was slightly surprised you were pouring oil into your filter right about your cloth seat. Love the confidence.

Awesome vid as always bro! Thank you for doing what you do, keeping this country stocked with what it needs. Go easy on the Po Po bro, y’all got some 5-0 friends/subscribers. Where we going next? Stay safe, stay healthy my man!

Good work. Really do appreciate a guy who is mindful of being clean and tidy when it comes to workspaces. I wanted to add two things. The reason why the seal on the oil filters needs to be oiled up is so that it wont stick really hard to the mating surface and be a PITA to take off next time. The difference can be quite a few minutes of swearing and breaking out the biggest pipe wrench to get the suckers loose. So yeah, always oil them up and always hand tighten. Also I was going to suggest, maybe next time you're at a truck wash ask the staff if they've got any empty detergent jugs. Most often those are big 5-6 gallon plastic jugs which are chemical/oil resistant and are big enough to store big quantities of oil in 'em. It would make it easier on you to store and transport them. I don't know if you guys have this brand over there but we have "MA-FRA", which is one of the leading car/industrial cleaning products. I'd reckon most car washes will have similar jugs like that.

Jeez I was about to watch one of your videos but you uploaded one right when I was going to watch one of your videos lmfao and I love your intro

Keep up to great work on the videos

Hey AK I'm a sub from across the pond in England I'm actually a mechanic to do are oil filter changes we don't put holes in them we take them straight off but when doing an oil change we do it with the engine still warm so the oil flows out better but with the bolt we either replace the washer if it's a washer type but if it's just a bolt with a rubber seal we replace the whole bolt love the vids stay safe and keep trucking

Hi, AK. Great video. You just keep doing as much work as you can. Keep on trucking.

Real Bošnjo right there heheh. Yours is way easier than on Columbia with those oil filters. Samo jako bro

Get you a quick drain plug and do away with the old oil plug and keep your jugs when you fill your oil all you have to do is open the quick drain plug and fill the jug close it when it is full keep doing that until oil is drained it will take four jugs to drain it and it's convenient because all you have to do is clean the jugs and turn them in that's how i do mine and remember changing your oil is cheap insurance don't worry about people saying you doing it to early keep up the good work

Nice video hope you and your family are doing well stay safe over there and keep on trucking brutha trucka 10-4!

Nice to see you in the zone wearing protection on your fingers AK

Morning AK. Always like watching you do some maintenance on you truck 👍🏻 It's really interesting and I love em 😄 Shouldn't you warm the oil first so it's got more viscosity and will drain more contaminate out 🤔 Love it don't get oil in my Dads pick up truck. So the first oil filter on on your cat walk then the second one on your Dads seat 🙈 I held my breath as you poured the oil lol 😂 Keep safe buddy until the next one 😁 I prefer the old introduction to you videos. Cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧

Try Traveller 15W-40 oil from Tractor Supply. It has the same specs as Del Vac and Rotella, and is considerably less expensive. Traveller is made by Warren Distribution Co., a supplier of many private label brands of oil. I would recommend an oil analysis regularly, as well.

AK Good Video only two things bother me. 1 Putting oil in the filter while filter was on the seat. Dad will put a big Knot on you head if you spill some. 2. Using a cresent wrench on the drain plug could slip & round off the sides. Need a plug that you can use a boxed in wrench. just me thinking. It worked out ok.Stay Safe & Thanks for the video.

Absolutely hilarious keep up the good work. 😂

Nice job! Thanks for sharing .

Iam a new subscriber, new to your show...I enjoy your vlogs, and look forward. To. More....

Just keep working hard it will pay off soon.

Eyy keep that truck rollin

One quart of Lucas oil stabilizer every oil change to keep your oil cleaner for longer. One quart of ATF every fuel fill up to lube your injecters and make them last longer

Have you thought about putting on a Bypass oil filtration system" It will help with cutting down on soot in the oil.. Save that engine.

Best to do it when your engine is hot, to extract to most containment’s

Good job AK

Hey ak, next truck customization would be to get air filter lights.

Keep up the good work 👍

Hey BUD.Question for ya. What's the price all together or monthly payment you have on the ELD you use? THANKS!!!

130 bucks for an oil change??? Where you buy your oil??? My filters cost me 50 bucks. LOL Love the vids

Keep on trucking

AK I have the same truck and engine. when I saw you punch the bottom of the filters. I started to laugh, I do the same exact thing, much easier.

You should get a cheap rolling cooler with a drain spout to drain the oil into so you don't have to scoop and pour. Keep up the good work.

Good work brotha..

Trucker Ak excelente video

Yea

What's the model number on the monroe shocks. Did you change the rear .

Hey AK, What kind of oil filter wrench you use and where did you get it?

👍👍👍

Don’t listen to him guys wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty lol I wonder if anyone else caught that.

How long have you been a truck driver for

Yo did u get rid of the smart car??

Subbed 🔥🔥

When's your next load

What did the oil change run you doing it your self?

Quick question, what ELD unit are you using?

You did tighten the filters right

Did you also change the fuel filters

what is the best trucker gps. do you truck is equiped with the def dpf and all that crap

Nope...Always run the motor a while, so it drains better. More contaminants will drain. Todd the retired trucker.

How many miles is on your truck?

Did you ever explain why you have a black hood? Just being nosy

You need a transfer pump to move that waste oil.

Looks like your turbo has a leak

Shouldnt a big rig engine be hot before you drain the oil out? You said cold but I think most mechanics would disagree with you. On any other vehicle, the engine and oil should be hot.

Question why would you change the oil so often..seems like he's spending a shit ton of money on oil and filters. I would wait at least 3-4 months between changes

Actually u need a motor not a truck also you drain oil from pan before filters

Put a gallon of Lucas first it extends your engine life

Hey trucker ak can I get a response
