Spot on Josh! A little tip...When draining the old oil filter, put a small sheet of tin foil, (instead of a rag) underneath the oil filter to drain into the catch pan. Works like a charm!
The John Deere guy told me to fill the new oil filter with new oil before installing? I noticed you didn't do that. Do I need to put oil in the new filter and if so how much?
That is a much debated topic. Some say if you pre-fill, oil gets through the system faster upon startup, but oil pressure builds in like a second once the engine is started. My opinion, people pour the oil right in the center, which is the unfiltered side, so if there is debris from factory in there, you are putting that direct to the engine components. At least pouring it into the case it should filter all that out. Probably not the best answer, but I don’t see a need. Been changing oil myself since I started driving, never pre-filled. My Dad has never pre-filled, never had an issue. Plus unless the filter sits upright, you are just going to spill oil everywhere.
to warm it up? a couple minutes should be plenty. It just helps, you don't have to, it will just drain for a bit longer if you don't, and some more sediment may remain over warming it.

I thought the same thing about when I screw the filter in sideways the oil spills out. My first time doing an oil change so now I know. Thanks Josh.
Watching this video is like watching SNL reruns of the Anal Retentive Chef.
Well you watched it though, so did it help you or not?
How long do I run the engine

Can’t get the drain cap off- to tight!
They are! May have to get some pliers!
Plastic drain cap has "Reverse Threads." RIGHT to REMOVE, LEFT to TIGHTEN. John Deere is so brilliant!
To MUCH BS! Just get to the point and show how to change filter and oil!!
Sorry, some people like the extra info. I always try to explain in depth.
