I'm about to do my first an oil change on my BA Falcon I recently purchased I just needed some extra info and input found your video, you've explained things pretty simple even the uneven driveway as I have one. Thanks mate for the video I appreciate it 👍
Love the BA vids, keep the maintenance up and she will outlive you bro. The best engine ever built, alongside of the 265 chrysler. Both built and designed in aussie, unfortunately australians never recognise good engineering, they are fixated on v6 shit and imported boxed LS engines. The barra engine will become legend in this country mate
@@greyhairedphantom4038 I have hears about the lpg getting a bigger rod, because it has much higher compression, I think it's probably just the higher comp which will give more torque that they are really after.
Good tutorial mate.I dont normally fill up the oil filter but I will now.Other thing is most people stuff up is the oil filter removal tool they use it and overtighten.
You don't have to in fact if you speak to an engine rebuilder/engineer/engine oil scientist they will tell you not to. That hole in the middle goes straight to your bearings so if you accidentally buy bad oil (highly unlikely) soon as you crank the engine that oil goes into your bearings not your sump through pickup and your oil filter before hitting bearings. Some engines TDV6 e.g. its physically impossible due to engine having a oil filter elements that sit with a housing upside. Engines are fine for the first 2-4 seconds with residual oil whilst pressure builds up.
Yeah it runs there, but if the filter is empty it will be 6 or 7 seconds without oi (depending on size and location)l, it's not a big issue, but it's an easy step to help prevent startup wear, no cost additional step. You'd never assemble an engine with residual oil only for 1st start, you'd always use an assembly lube. every bit helps.
"this is a one beer job". i navigated to this video after being told that i could change the oil of a ford territory 2005 (rwd) myself. i might be able to, or not, but i loved watching it. cheers mate!
good to know little things like using the funnel when you first undo the sump plug. Last oil change I did was on LH Torana first car sump plug at the bottom of sump easy straight drain. cheers
Hi Mate, the oil filter I top off the motor is a Valvoline v-01 which is noticeably smaller compared to the Z9 I bought, can I use the Z9 on it or take it back and get the Valvoline -01?
Hey tangles. LOL on the 710 cap. ;o) I thought I was one of the few who used that term. I also laughed when you attempted to put that cap onto the empty oil container. You sure that was just a 1 beer job? Enjoyable vid as always, mate!
Hey guys this video has proven to be pretty popular, so thanks. If you're new check out some of the racing I do, if you found this helpful. Give it a thumbs up and share with your friends.

thanks heaps, yes it was very low oil. i top up another 2 ltr you done great video your video is so clear and no blurry and fast . easy to understand all steps and do the video of transmission change filter and oil please thanks
thanks mate first one I've seen on transmission,PS met this person who asked their son to check the oil, open the cap filled to the top, took about 30-40 litres out
tangles01 yeah but it had to come from somewhere before he put it in the engine. Did he just go to supercheap auto and say "hi I need 40 litres of transmission oil to suit my BA falcon"?

Great video for novices like me. Is doing an oil change and the usual safety checks sufficient for a basic service? I can't afford the hundreds of dollars that dealerships charge. I'm not worried about logbook services on my old girl.
Oil change is 1st, then a coolant change/flush which I also have a video for. If fact I have a vid for all of the next few things too... Spark plugs Air filter Fuel FIlter In cabin Air filter/Polen Filter Trans Fluid and if you're feeling adventurous, the diff fluid. I do it in pretty much that order when I get a new car. I would also recommend flushing the brake lines with new fluid.
Mate the Factory recommendation is 5-30 So 5-40 is fine. I've recently changed to 10-50 as it's ticked over 150,000kms now. No ticks so I will stay with that from now on as In Brisbane I don't expect to need to start it at 0 or below any time soon.

G’day Tangles01 , mate I want to do the first oil change on a 2004 XR6 Barra engine since I bought it a few months ago , the engine has 190k on it , it’s in A1 condition. I was looking at Penrith and Nulon websites became both these companies make top quality oils and they are Australian companies so I want to support Aussie manufacturer and Aussie jobs . Nulon recommends a 10w30 or 10w40 grade oil for my model Falcon , so I was going to buy some 10w40 Full synthetic oil , but then I watched your video and you recommended the 5w40 grade oil. With 190k on the engine wouldn’t I be better off get the 10w40 grade oil ? Keep em videos coming Tangles01 . Cheers
It will depend on the wear levels, the 5w is really about your climate, because it's the oils cold weight, So if you see some 0 degree mornings in winter the 5w might be the better option for winter and the 10 in the summer. It doesn't get that cold in Brisbane so I just run the 10. I would definitely run the 40 though either way at 190k.

@@conservativesniperhunter7439 All women can do it if they want to. It was actually my girlfriend at the time, who didn't want to ask me how but went on youtube and learned how, but the video she watched did it wrong which mean I had to do it for her anyway. Which gave me the idea to do these videos on my channel, showing it simply and the right was for people who aren't like me and into cars. If you look at the other videos on my race cars you'll see I do some quite advanced work, but that's for a very small audience, these are for everyone.
Hi thanks for the great video. In regards to jacking the car up, which end do you need to jack up, front or back? Could you jack it up in the centre with car stands all round to the same effect if you were doing other stuff?
If you doing the oil, you'd jack up the front for access, but key is let it drain on a flat and flat for re filling. if you're putting all 4 corners on stands you'll want flat ground to start with. I would jack up the front 1st put the stands in then lift the back... carefully.
MrZillaman73 yeah mate little trick. Saves the oil veing starved for a second as the pump sends the oil to the filter 1st. Some filters are on poor angles so you might only me avle to half or 1/4 fill it. But every bit helps.
I got provided 5 and have s ix and and what's one litre short with a few leaks and myne was strupped I hit one message my first too and I didn't rag it or watch this hard
hey mate nice video i just tried to change filter and top up with 4 litre engine oil but this morning i check oil but mine dip stick was dry. suggest me please
You may be leaking oil, but it's more likely that the 4L was not enough. Always check the dipstick on flat ground BEFORE you start the car and drive it. If the dipstick is dry when checked you rick spinning a bearing and needing a rebuild, don't start it until there is enough oil.
im not lucky enough to have a filter wrench, so i had to use a piece of old sandpaper for grip on my mx-5. someone had tightened it on beyond a reasonable torque level
That filter wrench cost me about 10 bucks 15 years ago, one of the best tools I've ever owned. infinitely better than the strap ones. Recording the 12 hours to watch as I see fit.
Hi just 1 question iv got a 2004 ford Territory just want to no if the oil pug is in ss.e place as ur BA falcon iv never done a oil change before but I want to learn
Should be the same engine, it's possible the pan is different for the 4 x 4 ones for the transfer case... but if it's RWD I would expect it to be identical.
The 5 only refers to tje cold viscosity. At 0 degrees c. So unless you're seeing 0 or close to it for morning start up, and pending on wear/clearances. 10 is probably fine
Hey mate. Loved the vid. I own a 2009 BF mark 3 falcon wagon with 263,590k’s on it (Yes it’s done a lot of driving). Would you recommend Penrite semi synthetic 10W-40? Or something else? Thanks in advance mate
I would recommend the full synthetic, but the weight seems good, clearances are pretty tight when new nut now she's a little older 10/40 is decent, unless you live on mt kozziosko or regularly sub 0 places.
tangles01 Hahaha true alright thanks mate. I would go with fully synthetic it’s just i’m unsure of what oil has been used previously in the car (assuming it was minerals or semi synthetic) and don’t want any oil leaks. Any tips?
@@jackoftw3398 Just run the synthetic. the oil doesn't cause the leaks, it cleans the shit out of the already busted seal. Some shit that will be in all the important bits. more important to have the internal health than worry about a valve cover seal.
Hey man, I've got a 04 falcon xr6 249k kms done. I was there when the service got done on it today, I didn't see the oil filter getting filled with oil. Full synthetic 15W40 used, thoughts?
@@tangles01 thank you, engine shakes sometimes during start up, mechanic told me today that next time to turn it off lock it and go back in restart it. I will let you know if it works for your reference unless you have already heard of this before
Never needed to pull them off, so not sure usually around 32mm on a lot of cars, but the service manual will be able to tell you, or any decent ford forum.
territory a bastard of a spot enough a hand movement did it today took me a while get it off was to tight bastard of a thing to do not like new diesel on top so piss easy
tangles01 i just got a BA wagon with 8 months rego and 214,000km for $500. Only 1st and 3 gears work so just needs a new 4spd auto and I got a replacement for $100 and did the service kit from your other video. Getting it fitted by a workshop asap because I don't have a hoist or gearbox jack. Think i need to watch your diff oil video too because the diff seems noisy. Maybe needs new diff bushes or it's just been flogged out 🤷♂️. Anyway soon I will put an XR6 front bumper and headlights on it, I already got the XR6 wheels to match for $50. Then I'll be putting in XR6 seats and door trims. Would love to make it turbo one day.
@tangles01 I'm again so sorry to bother you but, I tried doing similar process with my territory, I have no previous knowledge on what oil the car had before but I bought the car..... And did the process of oil changing and then after the change within 5 minutes of me driving the car, i opened the bonet and gosh I felt like I was in Dubai, the engine bay was so so hot I felt the heat on my face also the dipstick itself was very hot almost untouchable hot. Also I couldn't even see the oil on the dipstick.Would you know what the cause of it could be, I'm sorry sorry I'm an idiot and have not much knowledge about cars but I'm so inspired by you and want to learn, would you know what could be going wrong with it? :/
@@GOKHANDILEK yeah It wasn't enough oil in there and the car wasn't levelled properly at the time of my filling in, so waited overnight in a level park. Woke up and found out that it needed at least a fewore litres in.
Axle stands are better than 2 jacks of course. Yeah funnel is a pro tip, I made a mess lol, usually pretty good but as soon as I film I fuck something up. Fully fill, leave for a bit then yeah about half else it will spill on the angle it goes on at.
@@tangles01 I did n't have any choice . I did n't want to drive my car as Yesterday suddenly I noticed yellow stuff leaking under the car , I was not sure what it is , then I check there was no engine oil and a little bit of coolent left so I put some engine oil and coolent . While pouring some engine oil I accidently dropped some of the engine oil all over the engine . This morning I drove the car (2 km) and I found smoke and smell is coming out of my car . The temperature clock was 2 and half quarter but still behind the middle of the clock temperature . Do you think smoke is coming out because of the oil spelled around the engine ? In my area most of the mechanic are shut . I am not sure I should be drinking the car to mechanic .
@@NightMare-nq2we If you spilled oil onto the exhaust or on the heat shield or just down the side of the cover you will get smoke and a poor smell for a few days at least.
@@tangles01 th-cam.com/video/017FeH3ZYyQ/w-d-xo.html I showed this to a mate of mine.My brother who has passed away and him owned HT Monaros back in the 80s in their late teens. He said "he will never look at a XD Falcon the same way again". I had to laugh.
They take that for 1st fill from factory, the manual stated 6.8l but it will depend on the quality of the casting, how level the car is, what the temp is, how long you leave it to drain. And as it's easier to add oil then remove it. I still recommend 6.5l then add to the fill line.
Why does the top of the inside of your bonnet on your tow car that you don't give a fck about, have that felt , carpet, backing, when my s/c GT doesn't have it.
More content is more content. There your words. So what does that mean.??? I love your relaxed style, and to be honest, I think the cars you worship are crap. I have a s/c GT with 388 rwkw, with tune only. You should stick to falcons, there an aussie classic. I know mustangs are flying of the shelf, but in time, FPV will be a better investment. You basic vids are very helpful, and I wish more you tube up loaders had the same idea. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Good job.
Do you put your cap on when you come out and then take it off when you get back under. Because I imagine the cap would get in the way, and be a pain in the arse when trying to see what you are doing. And also, who the fck wears a hat under a fkn car.
You seem like a decent bloke to just have a beer with and work on cars haha thanks for that il be doing my Fg this weekend 🤙🏾
That may just be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me man, cheers.

Yeah the Fg Turbo bara is a genuinely world class engine, this old NA donkey though, not o great, but stock, good for 600,000kms.
tangles01 some Americans would be drooling at the mouth, even with that old burner!
@@greyhairedphantom4038 Yeah they don't understand that there are different typs of barra, just like there are different types of LS...
tangles01 I notice that the taxi that the big guy drags, has a gas engine block, because of the heavy rods to go with the turbo on it
@@greyhairedphantom4038 I have hears about the lpg getting a bigger rod, because it has much higher compression, I think it's probably just the higher comp which will give more torque that they are really after.
Cheers mate...I learnt about filling the filter 3/4, and hand tight, a very informative video
Thanks for watching
Thanks mate. I've been doing my own oil changes for years but had no idea before someone showed me. Great vid to educate

You don't have to in fact if you speak to an engine rebuilder/engineer/engine oil scientist they will tell you not to. That hole in the middle goes straight to your bearings so if you accidentally buy bad oil (highly unlikely) soon as you crank the engine that oil goes into your bearings not your sump through pickup and your oil filter before hitting bearings. Some engines TDV6 e.g. its physically impossible due to engine having a oil filter elements that sit with a housing upside.

Thanks for the video, my daily is a BA wagon as well.
I'm sorry bro.
Interesting and we've always used nulon 20w50 and with 360,000 on the clock we recently changed to the nulon 20w50 high klm oil.
Yeah high kms will usually need a thicker oil, just remember the 1st number is about the cold start, so is more governed by the air temp.
Nice vid mate, I’ve got a ba daily as well so this was helpful to me 👍🏻
Cheers mate, glad it helped
Thanks Mate, Only just got the car this video is going to save me a lot of time.
birdie glad to help mate. Also have one on flushing the coolant if you're doing a major service.
Hi Mate, the oil filter I top off the motor is a Valvoline v-01 which is noticeably smaller compared to the Z9 I bought, can I use the Z9 on it or take it back and get the Valvoline -01?
I would go with the Z9 personally, although I assume you're done already.
The larger filter has more area to flow through.
another happy customer here, funnel trick was good. didnt quite get as much oil out as i was expecting though, oops.

If you look at the other videos on my race cars you'll see I do some quite advanced work, but that's for a very small audience, these are for everyone.
Hi thanks for the great video. In regards to jacking the car up, which end do you need to jack up, front or back? Could you jack it up in the centre with car stands all round to the same effect if you were doing other stuff?
If you doing the oil, you'd jack up the front for access, but key is let it drain on a flat and flat for re filling. if you're putting all 4 corners on stands you'll want flat ground to start with. I would jack up the front 1st put the stands in then lift the back... carefully.
You should buy a g220 or a g8 for your towie. That way, you could be proud of your towie.
I thought I responded to this already?
nice thnxxxxx
No problem man, Hope it helped.
Fill up the new oil filter?
MrZillaman73 yeah mate little trick. Saves the oil veing starved for a second as the pump sends the oil to the filter 1st. Some filters are on poor angles so you might only me avle to half or 1/4 fill it. But every bit helps.
I got provided 5 and have s ix and and what's one litre short with a few leaks and myne was strupped I hit one message my first too and I didn't rag it or watch this hard
You what?
hey mate nice video
i just tried to change filter and top up with 4 litre engine oil but this morning i check oil but mine dip stick was dry. suggest me please
You may be leaking oil, but it's more likely that the 4L was not enough. Always check the dipstick on flat ground BEFORE you start the car and drive it. If the dipstick is dry when checked you rick spinning a bearing and needing a rebuild, don't start it until there is enough oil.
Hey dude. Great video. Very helpful. How much oil did the barra use from the bottle? Did you use all of it?
I show in the video the total oil I thought
need more rb content STAT!!!
It's coming man
im not lucky enough to have a filter wrench, so i had to use a piece of old sandpaper for grip on my mx-5. someone had tightened it on beyond a reasonable torque level
also, are you watching the 12 hour?
That filter wrench cost me about 10 bucks 15 years ago, one of the best tools I've ever owned. infinitely better than the strap ones. Recording the 12 hours to watch as I see fit.
Fuck the RB.
Hi just 1 question iv got a 2004 ford Territory just want to no if the oil pug is in ss.e place as ur BA falcon iv never done a oil change before but I want to learn
Should be the same engine, it's possible the pan is different for the 4 x 4 ones for the transfer case... but if it's RWD I would expect it to be identical.
So uhh my dipstick kinda disappeared into the the hole and now I need to take the pan off... any tips tricks?
Super cheap, 2 dollar long thin magnet, and pray. Hope you can pull it back up the tube.
You got a video on how to get the gearbox solenoids out and how to clean them?
No mate I don't and I think if it come to that I'd pay 100 bucks at the wrecker for a second hand box instead.

IV been using 10w40, should I do 5w40
The 5 only refers to tje cold viscosity. At 0 degrees c. So unless you're seeing 0 or close to it for morning start up, and pending on wear/clearances. 10 is probably fine
what oil do you reccomend ????
I recommend the oil I used in this Penrite HPR 5
You probably addressed it but how many litres of oil go in to the engine
As much as it needs, always go by the dipstick... But it's around 5.5 litres.

Its not 1998 any more you can get them all anywhere.
Hey mate. Loved the vid. I own a 2009 BF mark 3 falcon wagon with 263,590k’s on it (Yes it’s done a lot of driving). Would you recommend Penrite semi synthetic 10W-40? Or something else? Thanks in advance mate
I would recommend the full synthetic, but the weight seems good, clearances are pretty tight when new nut now she's a little older 10/40 is decent, unless you live on mt kozziosko or regularly sub 0 places.
tangles01 Hahaha true alright thanks mate. I would go with fully synthetic it’s just i’m unsure of what oil has been used previously in the car (assuming it was minerals or semi synthetic) and don’t want any oil leaks. Any tips?
@@jackoftw3398 Just run the synthetic. the oil doesn't cause the leaks, it cleans the shit out of the already busted seal. Some shit that will be in all the important bits. more important to have the internal health than worry about a valve cover seal.
tangles01 Hmm yeah you make a good point. Cheers for the help mate !!
@@jackoftw3398 All good mate
Try to use funnel next time to fill oil.
Yeah just like I said.
I knew a guy that bought a non turbo r 32. What a dumb move that was.
That is the worse, unless you're looking for something with similar performance but better looks than a 1998 corolla.
Hey Mate nice video! Can I use the same oil for an FG as its a similar motor? And do you use fully synthetic, Semi or mineral?
It's the exact same motor, I always use synthetic.
@@tangles01 cheers mate!
@@nicholasjoseph699 All good
I'm draining my BF as I type this. I use Valvoline Synpower full synthetic. Been using it the last 2 or 3 years.
Time for a beer!
@@gavinyoung7085 Any good quality synthetic is a good thing mate.
Gday mate 1 question is it necessary to prime the oil filter??
It's not necessary mate, but i feel like it's a good practice, it's one of those 1% things.
@@tangles01 it turns out filling the oil filter is 1% from not filling the oil filter so my logic is if u can do it without a mess it won't hurt.
Hey man, I've got a 04 falcon xr6 249k kms done. I was there when the service got done on it today, I didn't see the oil filter getting filled with oil. Full synthetic 15W40 used, thoughts?
Almost no-one will pre fill the filter, I do it as an additional step, every little bit helps in my mind.
@@tangles01 thank you, engine shakes sometimes during start up, mechanic told me today that next time to turn it off lock it and go back in restart it. I will let you know if it works for your reference unless you have already heard of this before
@@ARX420 Get a code reader mate, super cheap will read the codes for pretty cheap
@@tangles01 thanks man, will get it done this weekend
@@ARX420 Good luck
just wondering, do you use the same oil in your r32?
No I run Tenth 10th racing oil in the R32 mate.
What size is the wheel bearing nuts tangles ?
Never needed to pull them off, so not sure usually around 32mm on a lot of cars, but the service manual will be able to tell you, or any decent ford forum.
territory a bastard of a spot enough a hand movement did it today took me a while get it off was to tight bastard of a thing to do not like new diesel on top so piss easy
If you think that's bad, don't get a 90's nissan skyline.
Needs more boost 😆
It'll take 5psi on the stock ECU. And I do have a spare turbo laying around.
@@tangles01 do it!
@@BrosefDudley hmmmmm... not yet got enough broken cars, this is the only one that works lol
tangles01 i just got a BA wagon with 8 months rego and 214,000km for $500. Only 1st and 3 gears work so just needs a new 4spd auto and I got a replacement for $100 and did the service kit from your other video. Getting it fitted by a workshop asap because I don't have a hoist or gearbox jack. Think i need to watch your diff oil video too because the diff seems noisy. Maybe needs new diff bushes or it's just been flogged out 🤷♂️. Anyway soon I will put an XR6 front bumper and headlights on it, I already got the XR6 wheels to match for $50. Then I'll be putting in XR6 seats and door trims. Would love to make it turbo one day.
@@BrosefDudley For 500 bucks it will need some work, but very cheap to get parts and keep it going for sure.
lol.... good job.....
I though so
@tangles01
I'm again so sorry to bother you but, I tried doing similar process with my territory, I have no previous knowledge on what oil the car had before but I bought the car..... And did the process of oil changing and then after the change within 5 minutes of me driving the car, i opened the bonet and gosh I felt like I was in Dubai, the engine bay was so so hot I felt the heat on my face also the dipstick itself was very hot almost untouchable hot. Also I couldn't even see the oil on the dipstick.Would you know what the cause of it could be, I'm sorry sorry I'm an idiot and have not much knowledge about cars but I'm so inspired by you and want to learn, would you know what could be going wrong with it? :/
Did you pre fill the filter and did you check the level properly when you filled it, on level ground?
How did you go? Looks like you did not fill it properly. Can you see any leak? Did it smell when you opened the bonnet?
@@tangles01 sorry I just saw this, and I did it okay, it turned out it wasn't enough oil, and I saved the engine before it burnt it self, thank god.
@@GOKHANDILEK yeah It wasn't enough oil in there and the car wasn't levelled properly at the time of my filling in, so waited overnight in a level park. Woke up and found out that it needed at least a fewore litres in.
@@gokhangokduman9833 Pray you did not damage the engine. Is it running normal now?
W stands for winter not weight fyi
If that's turs, why do single weight oils have a W?
@@tangles01 I don't make the rules just passing on the information
@@milotin2755 Yeah I'm just asking, not saying it's right ow wrong, applying the logic.
Two jacks for safety.................use funnel for refilling .......half fill filter. Just my 2 cents worth.
Axle stands are better than 2 jacks of course. Yeah funnel is a pro tip, I made a mess lol, usually pretty good but as soon as I film I fuck something up. Fully fill, leave for a bit then yeah about half else it will spill on the angle it goes on at.
1 bear job. shit, it would be a 1 bottle of scotch job for me.

@@tangles01 I did n't have any choice . I did n't want to drive my car as Yesterday suddenly I noticed yellow stuff leaking under the car , I was not sure what it is , then I check there was no engine oil and a little bit of coolent left so I put some engine oil and coolent . While pouring some engine oil I accidently dropped some of the engine oil all over the engine . This morning I drove the car (2 km) and I found smoke and smell is coming out of my car . The temperature clock was 2 and half quarter but still behind the middle of the clock temperature . Do you think smoke is coming out because of the oil spelled around the engine ? In my area most of the mechanic are shut . I am not sure I should be drinking the car to mechanic .
@@NightMare-nq2we If you spilled oil onto the exhaust or on the heat shield or just down the side of the cover you will get smoke and a poor smell for a few days at least.

I had to laugh.
@@starboy2013 Have a look at the R32 vids, thats my fast one
i am sounding like a real newbie. and that's because i am.
That's ok
they hold 7 litres of oil
They take that for 1st fill from factory, the manual stated 6.8l but it will depend on the quality of the casting, how level the car is, what the temp is, how long you leave it to drain. And as it's easier to add oil then remove it. I still recommend 6.5l then add to the fill line.
Unlike who ?? I don't tend to knock it over though. What you talking about.
Stivva, from Intake. Check his channel, top notch.
Why does the top of the inside of your bonnet on your tow car that you don't give a fck about, have that felt , carpet, backing, when my s/c GT doesn't have it.
It hasn't come loose yet, so no need to pull it off?
More content is more content. There your words. So what does that mean.??? I love your relaxed style, and to be honest, I think the cars you worship are crap. I have a s/c GT with 388 rwkw, with tune only. You should stick to falcons, there an aussie classic. I know mustangs are flying of the shelf, but in time, FPV will be a better investment. You basic vids are very helpful, and I wish more you tube up loaders had the same idea. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Good job.
That certainly is some rambling, worship is a strong word. Glad you like the falcon vids though, they seem to be quite popular.
Do you put your cap on when you come out and then take it off when you get back under. Because I imagine the cap would get in the way, and be a pain in the arse when trying to see what you are doing. And also, who the fck wears a hat under a fkn car.
Keeps the sweat and hair out of my eyes dude.
Is it 5.5 for the Falcon Futura AU as well?
Its a similar engine but not quite the same. Just put in 4 then bring it up on the stick.
