Everyone saying about the filter, what about the fact he just jacked it up from the middle of the car! Always use the jacking points never use the middle of the sills.
That just depends on how strong the body of your car is 😂 I've seen cars up here in the north where you could only jack them by the side if you tried to jack them by the jacking points they would crush in so what we would do is take a longboard cut a channel in it and then set that right between the bottom bit and then jack off of that
I jack up my car and rest the car on jackstands under either the control arms or the k member subframe, i DO NOT trust those "jack up points" especially on a pinch weld, anything that is solid and connected to the frame i.e control arms, or subframe
It's obviously on the frame rail behind the fender he's probably should've pointed out it's important to locate the jack point of your car but if it was on the fender you would definitely see it bending.
1. Oil filter info is not on the fill cap 2. You don't need to prefill oil filter...especially if it is installed sideways like some vehicles where you can't prefill anyways; if you do at least explain it accounts for a portion of the oil the vehicle calls for so people arent confused 3.

For your number 3, wdym not the fender?? Do you know what a fender is? That’s not the fender, it’s called a pinch weld - it’s entire purpose is to be jacked from there. Some cars don’t even have a frame, buddy, they only have pinch welds….
@@Switchblxde7 yea, it was lifted from the middle of the car didn't even look like it was on the pinch weld. Anyways, the frame is way safer than the pinch weld
always use jack stands. my neighbor was having some dude working under his car and he only had a crappy jack and guess what happens next all we hear is him screaming help cause his car fell when the jack failed luckily i was outside with my friends and we managed to lift it enough for him to slide out lucky he didn’t lose his life
“the jack placement 😱😱” If you don’t know what a pinch weld is, don’t even attempt an oil change by yourself, just hire another man to do it, sweetheart
U don’t need to fill up the filter man. Ive seen it lead to the filter not sealing with the gasket causing a leak. This method is not worth it at all due to it not causing hardly any difference in the process besides the fact u pouring it in the filter and risking more of a mess. Just lube the rim/seal and it’s good to go.
Huh its actually not gonna leak that only happens when you double gasket. Thats when the old gasket stays in the motor nothing will happen if you add oil in the filter. The only time you shouldn't add it in the filter is when the filter is upside down.
@@SVT_Beckthats what made me confused like if you can add fresh oil in the new filter you should so the filter has oil on start so your not running the filter dry on start
For any person out there watching this, do not prefill your oil filter unless you're doing it on a diesel with a vertical spin on filter. Diesels need to atleast be 50% filled due to harsh start ups during an oil change. 👍🏻
Ok people are complaining about where he jacked the car, the condition of the oil he's changing and the, filling the filter, even the damn Temp of the oil being changed. He jacked the car properly, it made contact with the FRAME of his SPECIFIC vehicle. Some cars have pinch welds on the frame to indicate that you're in the right place and also the best point to jack up the front and rear of the car from. That oil could be mint coming out of that pan it doesn't matter if you change it too early it doesn't hurt the engine it can just be wasteful at best. He probably drives this car pretty hard and needs to keep the oil as friction free as possible. The temp of the engine oil while you chnage it or temp of the car doesn't help as much as you think. Especially if you don't let the car settle for a while after it runs. The oil's temp matters next to none if you're changing it, it comes out at relatively the same speed as if it were hot. Oil only needs to be at OT when CHECKING it not changing it. Filling the filter is absolutely fine if your filter screws in from the bottom. It will not introduce anymore dirt into the filter than your dusty ass environment will while letting it sit dry.
Oil cap doesn't always have the oil weight on it. That being said if you don't know and it doesn't specify what oil you need in the owners manual then call the dealership and give them the last 8 of your vin. Also most vehicles include the filter capacity when it tells you how many quarts to put in your car. When your done turn the car over for about 15 seconds then check the dip stick. That the correct way to check your oil after you change it. Also prefilling the filter may or may not let small particles into the engine and cause damage.
Prefilling an oil filter is not gonna "introduce particles to the engine" do you not think those plastic bottles are clean inside? Why do most filters have a protective plastic wrapping? To keep the crap out.
@@joshpodolsky7740 no prefilling an oil filter is just a good way to spill new oil for no reason, there is no benefit to prefilling this type of filter.
When I was an apprentice I was told the ones who don’t take the extra second to pre fill their filters are usually the ones who are hacks and do the bare minimum just there for a check don’t care about the trade. If you really know how engines work you’d know why it’s beneficial to pre Fill your oil filters if you can.
Use jacking points, or better yet a set of ramps, also you don't need to fill your filter, that is silly, try doing that with a sideways or upside down mounted oil filter.... you just need to lube up the gasket and make sure the old one came off. You also may want to get a new crush washer for the drain plug every few changes.
A lot of people hate changing their oil but I actually really enjoy doing it. I’m lucky enough to not need to jack up my car because I have an SUV which makes me feel a lot safer.
Maybe if he would get his curly ass hair out of his face he would know what he's doing instead of trying to look good for his car's oil change like that is supposed to do anything lmao, id rather be covered in grease wearing greasy clothes knowing what I'm doing under a vehicle than to be prim and proper and end up half assing a oil change tbh but that's imoo
@@hauptfachhauptfach6202 better to have been just driving so the viscosity is lower and more contaminants remain in suspension. Running it for just a second is counterproductive
Nice, but one major oversight that you're probably aware of but didn't mention is to be sure the gasket from the old filter is off so you don't double gasket. That shit will blow out with the pressure and causes a huge mess.
Prefilling your oil filters actually a bad idea that big hole is for the stuff that goes to the engine and if there's any contaminants and what you pour in there from the first part it'll actually get into the engine
Don't fill the oil filter, the oil doesn't even circulate the way he's filling the filter, not to mention that lots of cars have filters mounted horizontal, instead do flood clear. If you have a newer vehicle you can turn oh the key, floor the accelerator and crank the engine, the engine won't start because the ecu disables the injectors.
Fine job, fine job cause most people won't fill up the oil filter...It saves the bearings from being dry of oil for a few seconds cause the filter has to fill up and it can cause an engine to spin a bearing instantly
People saying "dont pre fill the filter" because "it doesnt circulate that way" so "the oil will go through the engine unfiltered anyway" dont know why you do it. Its to stop the engine running without oil for the length of time it would take to fill the filter, had you not filled it before hand. Prevents the engine running dry for longer than it needs to. And to the others saying its stupid because most are side or top mounted so it will spill everywhere, stop working on your cars, you dont have enough common sense to be handling any level of machinery
Oil filter empty and engine running dry? Lmao what? The problem here is overfilling with oil when he goes to add the proper amount of oil plus whatever he just filled the filter with…lol
@@tims6966Most filters have an anti drain back valve to prevent dry starts through regular use of turning the car on and off when going on drives and parking up etc. We imitate this during the oil change by pre filling, the exact reason I said. This also means that the oil in the filter can't reach the sump again and won't increase the level on the dipstick after it's rested. Nice try though
What I like to do when I change my oil is, when u get all the old oil out of the car run some clean oil through the vehicle to help get a better cleaning.
I am also used to do that (I like to be very meticulous), but later I learn that is mostly a waste of time and oil. What we drain is just the “deposit" of the oil, but the rest of the system (pump, passages, bearings, heads, lifters, etc.) will still be full of “dirty oil" and to be precise, is this rest of the system; rather than the deposit, what we really want to be clean. Another reason why not to do it, relays in the chemistry of the oil, as they are formulated to act as a “detergent" of the engine, so the brand new oil will do its job cleaning the old oil deposits. As a perfectionist myself, I won't blame you if you still stick to your routine, it doesn't do any harm after all.
Pre-filling your filter is completely up to user discretion in my opinion. But if you fill from that center hole all that oil goes right into your bearings unfiltered. The oil is brand new and should be perfectly fine, but still something to think about. This is only a relatively new realization for me any my car is fine. But still figured I’d pass along the info.
On modern cars you often need to connect the car on a computer with specific software otherwise its not going to register the oil change and the "maintenance" notice/signal will not dissapear. Also some insurance dont cover your car if the car is in maintenance mode...
Missed a lot of steps like when jacking up the vehicle make sure you’re on the pinch weld etc.. doing an oil change quick isn’t a good idea and learning quickly as seen here isn’t a good idea either
Filling the filter not required. I would go as far as saying it’s bad practice since any contaminants which could be present are going straight into the engine. Also I wanted to mention for anyone doing their newer shelby at home, I heard from a ford tech that ford recommends not lubing the filter o ring to prevent leaks
anyone reading, if your car is turbo charged or is a diesel, fill the filter. if not, don’t. if you don’t fill a turbo cars filter, you cOuld blow the seals in the turbo because they have a higher likelihood of running dry for a second. i cant explain why on diesels bc i honestly don’t know
always write your mileage of the car at the time of changing on the oil filter, for 2 reason 1_ on your next oil change you know how many miles you put on the car and what date was the last oil change 2- if you have to go to jiffy lube or other places, you make sure they actually changed the filter
Why are you prefilling the filter? I'm curious about the mindset behind this because every mechanic (professional) that I've talked to says it's worthless at best and potentially disastrous
@@no-replies Your putting faith that the new oil has no contaminants and the bottle was clean. At least if you put it in your pan it will go through the filter first before it reaches the engine. I know it's only like an 1/8 of a quart but I don't know where oil is bottled. I've never seen the conditions of the Assembly lines. Plus pre filling just doesn't provide any benefits
Don’t forget to check if the old gasket from the old oil filter is stuck on the engine. If you double gasket it causes a leak. Also check your drain pan bolt. Sometimes those bolts also have one time use gaskets on the bolt themselves
I been doing my own oil changes since I started to driving years ago, had 5 cars since and I noticed that on all those cars following the oil capacity u see online usually overfills them. Probably cause some of the oil doesnt get to make it out so filling that oil filter then following the capacity online freaked me out 😅
@@ruger206 yeah cant always trust oil fill capacities online. Do u let the new oil seep all the way down to the oil pan before checking it and putting more in it? My 5.3 takes a couple minutes.
You don't need to fill your oil filter with oil because after you start your car it's gonna fill with oil anyways. Also make sure there is a gasket for oil drain plug and the oil filter. Make sure the gasket for the oil drain plug and filter is not missing and sticking on the top.
he filled up the filter through the filtered side of the oil filter so that means of any debris get in there even if smaller than a hair will scratch his crank bearings and over time lead to the death of that motor. ( this has happened to me before). if you really want to prefill your filter pour the oil into the the little holes around the big whole
I see few people in comments about the prefilling of the filter but only one got the reason right. Prefilling your filter (the center part that you fill is the clean side of the filter) can add any unwanted matter into the clean side of the system, Motorcraft also specifically states to not prefill. Also oil filters have a bypass hole on them so at first startup, just enough oil will get through to not seize the engine, but use the filter part once it's filled. Big part of working on your own car is making mistakes and learning, keep at it!
….if you put the correct amount of oil you don’t need to worry about checking the level as you should have put the correct amount into the engine in the first place
All these people saying to not prefilled the filter. Guys, it really doesn't matter if you do or don't. Modern vehicles make oil pressure so fast it'll fill the filter almost instantly. And there is always a film of oil on everything inside the motor. On the other side, nothing is wrong with prefilled it either, makes it more accurate checking the oil since filters hold ~1/2qt.
I love reading comments on videos like this because suddenly everyone becomes a seasoned 30 year mechanic and knows the best possible way of doing everything. Yes he did miss some points such as replacing the crush washer or letting the engine run for a bit before draining the oil etc.
The oil is changed though .. lol So what happened... Oh reality...lol Yea he missed some things but it was not bad example... Did the teacher tell you to stop using fingers to count... No you grew up and realized you could... And got still found out 1 +1=2 The objective is cleared
@@MBKindell He got the basic gist of it across. I’ve done oil changes before where i didn’t replace the crush washers or run the engine before draining the oil. Hell sometimes i don’t fill the oil run the engine and then fill again, i just fill exactly how much i know it’ll take and it’s spot on everytime. It’s not a make or break, the oil will still be changed and the car will still run fine. It’s not like you’re gonna blow up your engine because you didn’t let the oil get warm before draining it.
Never pre fill filter with oil. First few second when you start your engine it will pump the air and rip the filter soaked with oil. It has to be oil-free so the air can escape.
You also missed the fact that you can strip your oil plug which would result in you needing a new oil pan. Or you don’t tighten it enough and the drain plug falls out bricking the engine
No. The info. is NOT on the oil cap. It is on "some" oil caps. And you DON'T check the level after you fill it. You start it, and let it run for 1 minute, shut it off, and 2-3 minutes later, check the level.
I’ve never understood prefilling the oil filter, which is also an exceptionally unreasonable process for me and my vehicle in particular as the oil filter is on the front of the engine aiming downward to drain into the pan, so prefilling would only make a huge mess for me, most vehicles it wouldn’t cause any issues so I’m not really against it other than feeling like it’s generally pointless
Breddy gud, but unless you've got a super high capacity filter filling it is unnecessary and can lead to accidental ingress of contaminants. I did it for about 20 years It was a hard habit for me to break.
The majority of vehicles use Washers on the drain plugs and transmission plugs. Don't spread bad information dumbass. You're gonna have morons putting rubber gaskets on and wondering why they're leaking. P.s. I reuse my washers 2-3 times no problem in 20 years.
Don’t pre fill oil filters. It increases the risk of inducing small amounts of debris or in the worst case, a couple small metal shavings or dirt particles that could go where they’re not supposed to and hurt your vehicle.
1 im saying this cause im a mechanic at jiffy lube no you dont have to fill your filter with oil unless its a diesel truck 2 make sure if you do add oil to your filter which you shouldnt to subtract that from the total amount of oil your adding to your car that way your not adding to much extra 3 make sure you run your car for atleast a minute after adding oil and make sure you check the levels before and after you start it up then your all good to go if your oil is still full on the dipstick after you check it 👍🏽
Most bigger diesels (Cummins X15, etc) don’t require to pre-fill the oil filter, at least it could be different on the smaller side of trucks. Usually you pre-fill the fuel filters because there are always struggles with any diesel fuel system and it trying to start, especially damn MX-13 no electronic fuel pump ;-; like the Cummins :)
You shouldn’t jack up your car because half of the oil will go to the back of the block and not come out so I just get under my car I know everyone doesn’t have that option but it helps
Everyone saying about the filter, what about the fact he just jacked it up from the middle of the car! Always use the jacking points never use the middle of the sills.
First thing I saw.
Never pre-fill oil filter, can let dirt in engine and destroy it

1_ on your next oil change you know how many miles you put on the car and what date was the last oil change
2- if you have to go to jiffy lube or other places, you make sure they actually changed the filter
You should also let the engine warm up before draining the oil. It circulates the particles in the engine into the oil so they can be drained out.
Why change oil, that oil looks clean 🥲
Because it’s supercharged. If your car is supercharged or turbocharged you should change your oil about every 3k miles
doesnt matter, always follow manufacturer's reccomendation, why? because they built the car not you.
Using cheap oil requires more frequent changes. Full synthetic should be able to go over 5k even with super charger
nobody talking abt how he is jacking the car on the side skirts
I cant tell if he is on the pinch welds, gives him a slight advantage
Why are you prefilling the filter? I'm curious about the mindset behind this because every mechanic (professional) that I've talked to says it's worthless at best and potentially disastrous
Some cars actually need to be prefilled, especially diesel cars but most don’t
Some have too (euro cars mostly) but pre fill keeps the oil pump from working too hard
How would it cause any problems? Been doing it for 10 years
I'm also an ASE tech
@@no-replies Your putting faith that the new oil has no contaminants and the bottle was clean. At least if you put it in your pan it will go through the filter first before it reaches the engine. I know it's only like an 1/8 of a quart but I don't know where oil is bottled. I've never seen the conditions of the Assembly lines. Plus pre filling just doesn't provide any benefits
Ramps make it even easier!! Just remember to use wheel chaulks behind the back wheels if on flat ground, or in front of the back wheels if on a hill.
real mechanics replace the oil sump plug ring
Mines on the bolt already so I check it for cracks or wear every time I change the oil
Don’t forget to check if the old gasket from the old oil filter is stuck on the engine. If you double gasket it causes a leak. Also check your drain pan bolt. Sometimes those bolts also have one time use gaskets on the bolt themselves
awesome information for the home mechanic.
me, and experienced mechanic of 6 years : watches the whole video
I been doing my own oil changes since I started to driving years ago, had 5 cars since and I noticed that on all those cars following the oil capacity u see online usually overfills them. Probably cause some of the oil doesnt get to make it out so filling that oil filter then following the capacity online freaked me out 😅
yeah my car said that it takes 5 quarts of oil but toke 7 quarts 🤣
@@ruger206 yeah cant always trust oil fill capacities online. Do u let the new oil seep all the way down to the oil pan before checking it and putting more in it? My 5.3 takes a couple minutes.
@@danielvega4076 yeah I usually wait and let the car warm a little, then check the fluids and add a quart or so till is topped off
why does nate have such a nice facial structure
Ur not supposed to tighten the bolt just make sure it’s snug. Love content man keep it goin
You don't need to fill your oil filter with oil because after you start your car it's gonna fill with oil anyways. Also make sure there is a gasket for oil drain plug and the oil filter. Make sure the gasket for the oil drain plug and filter is not missing and sticking on the top.
Ya obv it’s gonna fill it back up but that doesn’t mean your car won’t have a dry start which isn’t necessarily to good
Though it’s not quite bad cause some cars can’t do that but also let him do it how he wants
Don’t forget the wheel chocks! Odds are that you won’t need them. But the one time you need them and they’re not there . . .
Try pre-filling the oil filter on a subaru engine where it's upside down.
I just flip the whole car upside down to fix that problem
Just buy an australian subaru then the oil filter will be the right side up. Everything else would be upside down tho 😅
he filled up the filter through the filtered side of the oil filter so that means of any debris get in there even if smaller than a hair will scratch his crank bearings and over time lead to the death of that motor. ( this has happened to me before). if you really want to prefill your filter pour the oil into the the little holes around the big whole
I never realized how easy that is
I see few people in comments about the prefilling of the filter but only one got the reason right. Prefilling your filter (the center part that you fill is the clean side of the filter) can add any unwanted matter into the clean side of the system, Motorcraft also specifically states to not prefill. Also oil filters have a bypass hole on them so at first startup, just enough oil will get through to not seize the engine, but use the filter part once it's filled.
Big part of working on your own car is making mistakes and learning, keep at it!
Been filling filters for 10 years on cars with 300k+ miles.
@@no-replies that's unfortunate.
Forgot to start it after to check if he has enough oil
Don’t forget your spill mat . good Job ❤
Not mentioned but set the parking brake on your car before you jack it up
You don’t really have to pre fill the oil filter unless it’s turbocharged, that’s what I heard.
First thing i noticed was motorcraft oil use amz oil its the independently proven best oil out
Before you check your oil you need to have the car back on the ground so it is level
….if you put the correct amount of oil you don’t need to worry about checking the level as you should have put the correct amount into the engine in the first place
@Yeah Right my engine takes 4 qts, 3.8 without filter.
All these people saying to not prefilled the filter. Guys, it really doesn't matter if you do or don't. Modern vehicles make oil pressure so fast it'll fill the filter almost instantly. And there is always a film of oil on everything inside the motor. On the other side, nothing is wrong with prefilled it either, makes it more accurate checking the oil since filters hold ~1/2qt.
I love reading comments on videos like this because suddenly everyone becomes a seasoned 30 year mechanic and knows the best possible way of doing everything. Yes he did miss some points such as replacing the crush washer or letting the engine run for a bit before draining the oil etc.
The oil is changed though
.. lol So what happened... Oh reality...lol Yea he missed some things but it was not bad example... Did the teacher tell you to stop using fingers to count... No you grew up and realized you could... And got still found out 1 +1=2
The objective is cleared
@@darinabstonjr9512 Thank you. Someone with common sense.
@@MBKindell He got the basic gist of it across. I’ve done oil changes before where i didn’t replace the crush washers or run the engine before draining the oil. Hell sometimes i don’t fill the oil run the engine and then fill again, i just fill exactly how much i know it’ll take and it’s spot on everytime. It’s not a make or break, the oil will still be changed and the car will still run fine. It’s not like you’re gonna blow up your engine because you didn’t let the oil get warm before draining it.
Never pre fill filter with oil. First few second when you start your engine it will pump the air and rip the filter soaked with oil. It has to be oil-free so the air can escape.
You also missed the fact that you can strip your oil plug which would result in you needing a new oil pan. Or you don’t tighten it enough and the drain plug falls out bricking the engine
You wanna make sure your not jacking on the side skirts, but rather the specified location in the manual
I like to lower the car before I refill it so the oil reading is accurate
No. The info. is NOT on the oil cap. It is on "some" oil caps.
And you DON'T check the level after you fill it.
You start it, and let it run for 1 minute, shut it off, and 2-3 minutes later, check the level.
I have a question. Does the size of an oil filter matter?
I’ve never understood prefilling the oil filter, which is also an exceptionally unreasonable process for me and my vehicle in particular as the oil filter is on the front of the engine aiming downward to drain into the pan, so prefilling would only make a huge mess for me, most vehicles it wouldn’t cause any issues so I’m not really against it other than feeling like it’s generally pointless
Nice background song👍
You don't really need a jack. Parking on a raised curb dose the trick just fine.
A lot of sump bolts have a copper crush washer that needs replacing.
The amount of armchair Mechanics in here is mind boggling, expect nothing less from the internet.
Yep! I would honestly bet, not much past their teens either.
Like the OP?
Your oil is still good no glitter or chunks 🤣🤣
Ngl this was helpful
Just make sure to place your jack at a safer spot
Breddy gud, but unless you've got a super high capacity filter filling it is unnecessary and can lead to accidental ingress of contaminants. I did it for about 20 years It was a hard habit for me to break.
Don't forget to always change the gasket on the drain plug
The majority of vehicles use Washers on the drain plugs and transmission plugs. Don't spread bad information dumbass. You're gonna have morons putting rubber gaskets on and wondering why they're leaking.
P.s. I reuse my washers 2-3 times no problem in 20 years.
If it has one
Faze rug a car guy sheeesh
Where does the gas go in my Tesla
in the radio
What type of oil should i put to my 2010 nissan juke 1.6 Dig-turbo that has 218000 km ???
Don't fill your filters.... The big hole in the center is the outlet...
I had 5 different people showing me how to do an oil change...
No. You never prefill the clean side of a filter. The only oil that goes there is the oil that has gone through the filter.
Don’t pre fill oil filters. It increases the risk of inducing small amounts of debris or in the worst case, a couple small metal shavings or dirt particles that could go where they’re not supposed to and hurt your vehicle.
I was also going to say that. It send chills down my spine.
1 im saying this cause im a mechanic at jiffy lube no you dont have to fill your filter with oil unless its a diesel truck 2 make sure if you do add oil to your filter which you shouldnt to subtract that from the total amount of oil your adding to your car that way your not adding to much extra 3 make sure you run your car for atleast a minute after adding oil and make sure you check the levels before and after you start it up then your all good to go if your oil is still full on the dipstick after you check it 👍🏽
Most bigger diesels (Cummins X15, etc) don’t require to pre-fill the oil filter, at least it could be different on the smaller side of trucks. Usually you pre-fill the fuel filters because there are always struggles with any diesel fuel system and it trying to start, especially damn MX-13 no electronic fuel pump ;-; like the Cummins :)
not all cars u can fil the filter as they sit sideways or upsidedown dez no need 2 fil it as de is a pump that wil pump it into da filter
You shouldn’t jack up your car because half of the oil will go to the back of the block and not come out so I just get under my car I know everyone doesn’t have that option but it helps
your oil looks brand new
