Thanks, for doing this video. Just purchased a 2016 2500 Heavy Duty diesel. First time having to do dual fuel filters. Got the shock of having a Dodge Dealership do my first oil/fuel filter changes. Billed me over $550, parts and mostly labor cost and 4 hour wait time. Thanks to you, never again.
Just wanted to say thank for this video .. I just bought myself a 2016 Dodge 2500 and I was kinda lost about how to go about changing the oil and both filters. So thanks again. .
Thank you I very much enjoyed your video on the oil change the fuel filter change it's very informative for someone who's 85 it's not quite that easy but you make it seem very easy and I appreciate your time and effort and how detailed you were
I purchase from Geno’s also. I don’t trust Amazon enough to guarantee I’m not getting a Chinese knockoff. There is a lot of counterfeit products out there.
Thank you for your video. You explain very well it help me allot. It was my first time changing the oil and fuel filter from my truck. Thank you for your time It was a great help. 👍🏼
Hey good job a lot of guys like to hear their self talk play ramble on or they try to add some lousy humor in there I like to pay attention to what I'm doing if I'm going to look for advice from somebody that's done it a few times I just want to hear the straight shot on how you get her done to get it done right and then to inspect what you expect and make sure everything's good to go you did a good job of all the above I just completed mine I was just as easy as you said it was paying attention to those details doing it in the order in which you did it nice and easy thanks again thanks for not listening to yourself talk got it done got her done right
👍 nice, very informative and straight forward. Just bought me a 2014 ram3500, my first diesel. I also noticed, your def. Gauge empty, did you do a def, delete?
Thanks for talking about the prices of the items used and where you got everything, I would think it would be good to confirm at the end the amount of oil purchased or capacity specs & total cost and time involved doingthis project. Thanks for your video. T’ Martin
13:02 "I'm sure there's probably a torque spec" as the literal torque spec rotates around the fuel filter housing cap lolol 30.5Nm, which is about 22 ft-lb Nobody follows that though, good vid.
Good morning Matt Harmening , question for you about oil .:: will that synthetic blend oil work for 6.7 ? And do you think chevron 15w-40 syn- blend oil will work as well beside shell full synthetic oil? … every 5,000 miles or every 3,000 miles for oil changes ? (If as a daily driving that truck) that’s something I’d like to know before I consider buying my next truck as I’m doing some research and homeworks before buying my next truck
As long as you get a good synthetic oil (don’t worry too much about brand name) in the correct weight for you truck, you should be good for 5000 miles.
Same procedure on my 2017 2500 but after draining oil I take of the passenger side front wheel otherwise the new oil filter is a pain to put back on. 🙃
Seems like a lot of these Ram oil change videos seem to gloss right over that. “Here’s the dirty filter tucked up the front wheel liner; here’s the new filter installed.”
I thought around 3:30 I explained the use of a oil filter plug. You don’t need to remove the wheel although it’s easier. Just reach in, loosen the filter and gently drop it down then reach in and twist in the plug and then you can pull the filter out without spilling oil. I also put links in the description for the plug I used. th-cam.com/video/gzQd6NI9_iQ/w-d-xo.html
Be careful on 2019+ 6.7 Cummins owners; they switched to hydraulic lifters in 2019+ and Cummins specifically says that 15w-40 could give you problems with those lifters. Stick with the 10w-30 Summer and 5w-40 for winter on 2019+ 6.7 Cummins.
I do the oil and fuel at the same time once sometimes twice a year. Good oil lasts up to 6 months but I don’t drive a lot so if you drive a lot more maybe every 3-4 months. Your dash alerts should keep you up to date though.
Honestly, I just always thought that it was best recommended? Maybe I am wrong? But from what I’ve read, due to the high compression of diesel motors, they need high viscosity oil, such as 15W-40
Not sure. I’d say go with what is recommended by Dodge for your specific vehicle. I believe a 0w-40 high synthetic is recommended. For what you invested in the vehicle, I’d go with a high quality recommended oil.
Prices must have gone up lately just like everything else in our crazy political world. You can try knockoff brands on Amazon or EBay or other online sources but sometimes they work fine and sometimes they are not a perfect fit or the seals leak. I’d say go with with you can afford and try a lower cost brand. It may work out perfectly fine.
I’m sure there is a way to do that, I’m just not 100% sure how it works on Rams. I believe you have to press the brake, push start button, then release the brake then push start button again to abort? Do that a few times to cycle the fuel and you should be good. If that don’t work check the manual on “how to” with a push to start. Good luck...
12 quarts. And you are supposed to prefill the lube oil filter (unless you think it is clever to ignore the factory service manual). [EDIT: OMG! THAT UNDERHOOD FILTER HOUSING IS 28mm! Following this meathead will have you bugger it up!]
One of the best videos covering this I've seen. It also looks a lot easier wrenching on a lifted truck... I need to get on that lol
Thank you 🙏

Your welcome Sir 🙏
@@DieselLegiance Thank you brother, getting ready to do mine I just bought the stuff that you shared. Picked up some royal purple 15-40 .
There you go. You got this 👊🏼
It’s now $740 for fuel filters only.
That is the most ridiculously clean 2500 I’ve ever seen. Headed outside to scrub my engine and underbelly out of sheer embarrassment. 😂
Great video!

Very helpful video. I just got my truck few months ago and I want to replace this filters and oil change... 👌🏼
Get your filters/parts from Geno's Garage. Good practice to support a family owned business and their service/shipping is second to none.
Plus you are not in danger of receiving counterfeit parts from Gemo's. I don't trust Amazon to not sell counterfeit.
I second this I’m local and bought the fleet guard air filter and Ccv filter and saved a ton and got hooked up with tshirts
I purchase from Geno’s also. I don’t trust Amazon enough to guarantee I’m not getting a Chinese knockoff. There is a lot of counterfeit products out there.
Great Video! I just got done doing this to my 17 2500 diesel after watching this. It helped way more than the videos I've seen from other people.
It was simple and to point and ease to understand I enjoyed it very much
Thank you for your video. You explain very well it help me allot. It was my first time changing the oil and fuel filter from my truck. Thank you for your time It was a great help. 👍🏼
Thanks, straight forward and easy to follow along. Much appreciated.
Probably the most informative video I’ve ever watched. Awesome video.
OUCH!!! It’s $170 for the kit off Amazon now. Thanks for the video I appreciate you making it
Yeah I hear ya. Everything costs more these days but still cheaper than a dealer.
@@DieselLegiance no doubt dealer just hammers you on price
Give Doc's Diesel a try. You can get the whole kit for a little over $100. 🙂
Is Rotella any good? Have you done oil analysis to verify it's a good oil?
How often do you change your oil and filter?
Thank you very much. I was on the fence about doing it or just taking it in. With this I will absolutely do it.
Great video! Just ordered the kit and installing this week! Thank you for your awesome videos!
Thank you 🙏
Just bought my first diesel which is a cummins.so glad I found this video. Thank you and very nice truck.just subscribed to you

Thanks man. I’ve been trying to be more step by step in my how to videos. It takes more time to film and edit but I’ve been getting good feedback.
One of the better videos ive seen. Thanks!
The torque spec for the front filter cap is right on the cap. 30.5 nm
Or 22.5 foot lbs
Thanks bro for da video,...now I know exactly how to do it the oil change to my bby RAM properly.!!
Glad I can help 🍻
You're a great teacher, Thanks again. BM
👍 nice, very informative and straight forward. Just bought me a 2014 ram3500, my first diesel. I also noticed, your def. Gauge empty, did you do a def, delete?
Yep…no def needed.

Good point. Maybe I’ll try to figure all that out and update the description sometime.
13:02 "I'm sure there's probably a torque spec" as the literal torque spec rotates around the fuel filter housing cap lolol 30.5Nm, which is about 22 ft-lb Nobody follows that though, good vid.
Awesome video!
Can you change out the filters without having to lift the truck on a jack if your truck is not as lifted as yours?
Yes
great video..... thanks
Thank you Matt!, very useful video...👍👍
Glad it helped…

Rotella t6 lasted in my cummins 1k miles and needs replaced.

They sell a plug that works really well. I don’t ever take the wheel off. amzn.to/3TnZ607

Try breaking loose the water sensor before you remove the rear filter. Thanks
Great video sir
Is the 15-40 same as the 10-30 on t6?
Not 100% sure but 10-30 is thinner and probably will not protect or last as long as 15-40.
Be careful on 2019+ 6.7 Cummins owners; they switched to hydraulic lifters in 2019+ and Cummins specifically says that 15w-40 could give you problems with those lifters. Stick with the 10w-30 Summer and 5w-40 for winter on 2019+ 6.7 Cummins.

Honestly, I just always thought that it was best recommended? Maybe I am wrong? But from what I’ve read, due to the high compression of diesel motors, they need high viscosity oil, such as 15W-40
@@DieselLegiance gotcha, thanks for the reply. Good video!
@@DieselLegiance 5w-40 and 15w-40 are the same viscosity at higher temps. 5 has a lower viscosity at lower temps and will start easier in the cold.
@Matt harmening question do u know if shell rotella t6 5w-40 is good for dodge Durango srt?
Not sure. I’d say go with what is recommended by Dodge for your specific vehicle. I believe a 0w-40 high synthetic is recommended. For what you invested in the vehicle, I’d go with a high quality recommended oil.
My rear filter in my 21 looks way easier thank god.

You made that look easy. Question? How do cycle the truck if it has push button? Thanks. Awesome video

Owners manual has answers.
