I changed my fuel filter was a bastard to get the lid back on but eventually got it done. However the Ute started up then died and now won’t start and has a wrench on the dash. Yay!

I have done this on both Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50 2.2 and 3.2 liter diesel engines numerous times and I change the oil filter (which is what Haynes recommends and what I was told they do at the agents). I agree, get everything you need ready, but then do the filter first, before draining the oil from the sump. The oil filter is not directly connected to the sump, so does not affect the oil level in the sump and is therefore not a time sensitive operation. The only oil that leaks out is about a teacup full which is retained in the oil filter housing and for that you simply position a oil tray underneath and use old rags on the cross member to absorb the oil that spills on it (unavoidable). Once the oil filter and O ring has been changed and the housing is back in position and torqued correctly (25Nm) then all you have to focus on is emptying the old oil from the sump, putting back and torquing the sump plug to 39Nm, and then filling up with new oil, which all took less than 7 minutes when I last did it. 5 minutes to drain (which I time - could be less as after 4 minutes its just drops), about 30 seconds to replace and torque the drain plug (fitted a new seal during the 5 minutes) and 2 minutes to pour in the new oil. The only old oil that is retained in the engine is retained in the oil pump and pipes and is needed to retain prime. This is less than 2% of the total oil volume, so has no effect on the efficiency of the new oil.

VERY VERY COOL.

To anyone who ended up here because you have a Mazda BT-50 and they share common parts this is a callout for you. The side mirror on the passenger side has an additional T20 torx screw behind the weather seal on the car door. Pop the weather trim and pull towards the window firmly (it's tucked a bit behind the seal). As an estimate of where it's located - draw a triangle between the bottom bolt (behind the black rubber cover), and the top bolt, with the 3rd point of the triangle being in the weather trim - this is its approximate location. Remove this one as well to take the side mirror out.

Gonna try this on my 2022 ranger lariat hopefully I don’t mess up 💀 gonna use a xlt or a regular version instead tho

Hey mate, just wanted to say your videos have been super helpful lately. Keep up the good work

The usb trick it an absolute genius move. Sir I would like to purpose a marriage

Hack

Blend door actuator…..another one playing up.🙁

Dont do this gp chat AI crap mate , you will ruin your great channel

as e pours it on the ground haha - cheers for the vid - helpflul

Works a charm

2:36 is this really so, ie I must not drain the oil pump otherwise would risk being unable to start the engine? This is critical so can you please confirm, because I want to prepare for this possibility. In other words, if this happens, what to do? Thanks.

Thanks mate, great video that will save me some $.

Did you just remove the stereo and climate control panel to get to it ?

How the hell do you do two clips are once?

One of the more helpful videos around. A really common problem easily fixed and the best use of USB drives I have ever seen. Thanks. 😊

worked a treat! finally got around to doing this after watching a few months ago

How did I end up in Australian TH-cam? I don't feel down under! Thanks for posting.

do it myself, but I have been blessed with a friend who is a mechanic and will do it.

Good straightforward informative video. One bit of advice for anyone doing this is test your heater plugs while the manifold is off. Save having to do this all again if you find you have a faulty one.

It worked! 🎉

Holy a faarrk an actual video that has correct knowledge and works perfectly, thanks man

Very informative videos. Thank you for sharing and for your time and effort. Just a point about battery connections. We used to use Vaseline to help with contact and smear it over the terminals and connectors to prevent oxidisation. What you referred to as contact protector.

شكرًا لك👍

Yes this helped thankyou

I have saved the money

Thanks so much i have replaced my side mirror

Very straightforward. I would use a torque wrench on the caliper bolts though.

Yeah I hate that sound

Two yrs on, how is going ?? Rusty, flimsy or all good?? Be interested to hear

Were kan you beay the beautiful chrome grill for de ford ranger. Greating from the Nederlands 💯👍

Well said

Very good video instruction👍❤️

Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Looks like I don't have to jack the car up to be able to drain the oil and redo the sump screw?

Could you replace the filter in place or should you remove it completely like you did in the video

Worked on my 2010 BT-50, thank you sooooooo much 😊

💯 Thanks mate

It has been a year, how is it holding up? Always good to see out of the box thinking 😊

Great video - thanks

Great explanation . Thanks

can you turn off the EGR or DPF functions with Forscan?

Hi. We followed everything you did on the video and now the car has thrown errors with check 4wd, tcs, abs. As per the video it still has the factory switch installed which we did. Is the factory switch meant to be disconnected. We have since removed it all and still has the errors has anyone else had this problem. Cheers

my AC mode selector not works in ranger. all the modes getting air from passanger vents instead of deforst and legs vents. Actuator issue or any other? Ford ranger Px 2015

What happened if priming the fuel does not work.. How do we fix this problem

The association was founded by Paul Chambers. So given you haven't bothered to fact-check your openning statement, perhaps you could share your evidence that the pair conspired to deny funding to other competitors? Or are we just jumping on a trending topic to boost our followership? 😂😂😂

Thank you 🙂

Should put which model/year this applies to…. Not the 2010 model which is what I’m looking for…

Cheers! Love the USB hack
