Would be nice if you weren’t 8 hr drive away and a international boarder crossing I would like to have you service our vehicles. Good video as always Rich.
Timing couldn't be more perfect! Almost like when you see a creepy ad pop up on your internet searches when you simply talk about a product! Starting last Thursday, I've been fighting the hydraulic filter on my Bobcat 863! It's about the size of good old FL-1A's. Some jack leg cranked the heck out of it, and I'm at my wit's end in getting it off!! Thanks for the link...this might be the answer!!!
Looks like a lot of thought and engineering went into this really is a great tool for removing oil filters and installing new oil filters excellent job on the demonstration thank you for this video 😎
I am really intrigued by this filter wrench. It would be just what I need for all 3 of the vehicles I service. The strap wrench with the flex handle is awkward on all 3.
Genius, wish I had this when I was changing my old land rover filter. I used the sealey one with 3 hook things that grab the sides, I just managed to get the thing off in one piece, but it was basically crushed by the hooks - one had punctured the filter completely. Could have easily torn in two.
These look pretty awesome, I noticed they have their own website you can visit also. Man I had a stuck filter, on my personal car no less, a little while back. It's an older Honda Accord with the oil filter on the firewall side of the block. So already an inconvenient spot. After struggling for a few minutes, I did the old trick of driving a screwdriver through the filter at an offset, and that still wouldn't break it free. I ended up cutting the bottom half of the thing off trying to get it with the screwdriver like that. What a mess. I had put the filter on while I had the engine out of the car, and I guess I used too much caveman strength. But one of these, could have saved me a lot of time and effort.
It's posted in the pin comment I posted on every video that I talked about them at the top of the comment section there's always a pin comment that's where the important stuff goes on
Switched out the Pennzoil Platinum for the Amsoil SS. Engine still running pretty quiet but it sounds like the engine is slightly noisier than when it had Pennzoil. Maybe it’s just my ears messing with me but I’m gonna keep checking as I did take a recording of it before I switched out the old oil. My transfer case fluid looked good as well. Still had its red color. I think next oil change I’m gonna try Royal Purple HPS. They got it for $62 on Amazon for 6 quarts.
Looks nice in those tight areas. Random question while I’m thinking about it since I had to do one today. E150’s with vacuum operated mode door control. When they fail, either the vacuum canister or check valve fails, it calls for like almost 6 hours to replace, at our shop what we’ve done for years is get a new vacuum canister and check valve and we just bypass the original parts and reroute everything inside the cab in the passenger footwell, charge the customer 1 hour labor for the repair and it’s good as new. How do you guys go about those repairs on that van at the dealer, do you pull the heater box and fix it to OE standards or do you guys do something similar? Just curious really
Ford Boss Me . What do y'all think about that plastic half turn drain plug that hits the sway bar . Started working at new Independent shop . never done Hell of oil changes at my old shop . That some dumb shit there
So I have been chatting with a rep at jm3 and he was wanting to know if it is the 14 point or 30 point. Unfortunately I am overseas at work so I can’t get under my truck. Typically how many notches are on the fl-500s filters so I know which one to order from them? Thank you.
Most of these are the 14 flute ones and the guy that you're talking to is my friend his name is Michael we became friends after I made all these videos
How well does this work for the EB Expedition's and Navigator's? From my experience the filter's limited access turns a simple job into a frustrating one. This might be a topic to cover unless I missed it in your library.
@@FordBossMe Do the F-150's have the same rubber flap to open? Those seem to have more room. Family member has a 17 Nav. Getting to that filter from the bottom corner is no fun.
Rich, just changed my 2011 Mustang 5.0 oil. When the seal broke on the (Napa Platinum)filter. There was pressure and sprayed some oil. I've been doing my own changes since I started driving. This is the first time I had a filter holding pressure. Have you seen this before?
@@FordBossMe Don't laugh, but this car only has 3,880mi. I have 3 cars. I still change the oil every 500mi, which sometimes is over a year. The filter is above some wiring and gets covered. However, the oil sprayed out to the side and made a small mess. I like the synthetic media, in the Napa filter. The Motorcraft is paper.
Great video! Did I miss your conclusions about oil? Recently, I heard you talking about Mobil 1 and I'm wondering what you prefer now and how cost influences your choice(s).
this confuses me because you've been on this channel for like literally freaking ever and I have talked about this so many times over the last couple years mobil doesn't even come close to any kind of even mediocre mid grade testing I'm surprised that you're just now asking this question after all this time
@@FordBossMe Got it! That's what I thought, but maybe I had earmuffs on about Mobil 1 previously, and then I heard you mention it recently and was surprised. As always, THANK YOU! You have certainly helped us all out. Keep it up!
A bit of topic. I've been watching a lot of triton 5.4 3v knocking noises which are being identified as phaser/rocker malfunction videos. In relation to cold start up knocking i am curious if the 5.4 triton 2v (1999) has the same issue. I start my vehicle and it knocks during the first few minutes. I'd appreciate any insight you have on the triton 5.4 2vstart up knocking noise if helpful it has 202k original miles on it! Tricks of the trade a novice like myself can learn from the ones with the experience! TY!
He boss... my f150 2017 is going in for cam phasers soon, is there anything I should have them replace why there in there as well? Water pump etc? I'd rather do it now instead if later ...truck has 50k on it thankyou!
@@FordBossMe they may not work like that one but they will fit in the same space as that one. like the socket strap one or the gearwrench, gedore... and sealy makes a nice one.
@@tankankhamen9522 no that's where you are wrong Don't talk about the tool until you've used it Bottom line, give it a chance or just don't say anything that's the right thing to do It's what any RESPECTABLE person would do
@@FordBossMe for the record i didnt talk about the tool, i talked about other tools and you are WAY too defensive for a mechanic that just got a new tool... do you own stock in the company, you related or best buddies? because there is more to this story if you are responding like that. you are free to use the tools you want, i will use the ones i like. i am not gonna get upset if you dont want to use the others.
You must be familiar with the 2019+ Rangers . It's a tight fit for the 910S will this work on my Ranger? The Ranger filter is a real pain to break free..My Ecosport with the same filter is a breeze do you recommend for the Ranger I have tried several filter wrenches none seem to work well.
I mean it’s a novel idea, but, and I’m no engineer, it seems like there’s already oil filter wrenches that have SIGNIFICANTLY MORE torque to remove the filter than this one does. Maybe I’ve missed something in your videos about this, but aside from a filter location that doesn’t leave you much room for a belt style or one that cups the rear of the filter, I’m not seeing why one should change from what they’ve already got for this. Doesn’t seem like it has much torque just by it’s design. I’d like to see it used on a filter that’s way over tightened to test that out.
It's in the design, it's a torque multiplier so leverage isn't needed Until you use it don't judge it don't do any of that schit, you know what's not a wise thing to do
The cups take up to much room, the cups don't always get stubborn filters off. The cups are not easy to get in tight spaces with extensions and everything else The purpose of this tool is to get in tight areas nothing else will and provide that torque multiply factor It freaking grinds my gears when guys come by here and they start the blah blah blah stuff and don't know anything about the product If you don't know about it close ya mouth and don't say anything
Hi Rich I may have missed this information in one of your other videos what year or years of Ford vehicles can the flood mode procedure be used on ? Can this procedure be used on all Ford gas vehicles ? Thanks
Flood mode has been around since carbureted engines Ford Chrysler and GM have continually used this type of mode for these types of things and most of these vehicles still to this day do it especially Ford all of them since carbureted engines
The purpose for flood mold was whenever you flooded the intake manifold with raw fuel Vapors you would push the throttle down it would open the carburetor wire up stop the fuel from being pumped into the intake and you would draw fresh air in to clear out any of that or all fuel they continued that on with fuel injection as well under the same principle so any Ford this works out as well as multiple other vehicles with other manufacturers
Hello, I use it on my 2014 RAM and 2010 Suzuki SX4 , using this during cold start in the morning too while oil is thicker. Works great, big thanks to Rich for sharing with us. Good weekend Tigo
I have a 2003 F150. I had never heard of flood mode until I started following this channel. Works great for me; I’ve done it twice. Once to see if my truck actually does it, and on a recent oil change to prime the filter.
As someone who’s done thousands of oil changes I’m kinda set in my ways. I don’t see this fitting in many spots. Also my ocd was triggered when you went from that dirty oil deflector straight to the oil filter surface without even flipping the rag.
@@davidcampbell1899 hello, Just to help, could try to unplug the crank sensor if accessible to prime,just check on for not getting any codes after, Honda ' s tech could answer you . Good weekend Tigo
QUESTION for ya Rich..... F L O O D M O D E??? Sounds like it's Just that, However I'am certain that we "ARE NOT" FLOODING the Vehicle with the Fresh Oil and all by Pouring Raw Gas Into the Cylinder's? Could you "Briefly" Explain the Mode's Operation as far as NOT Dumping Fuel for us that might be Interested please??
I did explain it It disables injectors and turns the engine over this priming the oil system It's a mode to clear the intake of raw fuel in case of an iverfuleing event BUT in turn it can be used to prime the oil system
Dude this is probably the best thing since sliced bread.
Prefer sliced tortillas
That's brilliant. I love how it's not tearing the crap out of the filter.
Absolutely
