This was a great video. First time I changed the oil on my 6.0 powerstroke myself. (always had my shop do it, before I retired.) Ford engineers deserve credit for putting the oil filter up top! Great tip about refilling from that spot too! Thanks for the video!
ME TO i got a 04 with 179 head studs cat delete bought for my roofing business 😅😅 theres a guy here who only works on powerstrokes so he made me cool about making it reliable 😎 good luck to u brother
Thanks for the video! I went to 10+ oil change spots, and none of them had the ability change my oil 😡 Which usually means, I have to do it myself. This is my first diesel truck so I thought it would be like a car. It was reassuring to see it done via this video) before doing it myself and potentially damaging my truck. THANKS!
Yea I seen this video and I went out got all the stuff broke my radiator hose , fuel filter cap stripped , oil pan bolt stripped . Super fun day thanks !
I watch this before each time I change my oil! I'm finally going with the 5w40 synthetic. She rough starts sometimes I think the new oil will help with that.
I figured you knew that-lol. FGR means 'for general reference'. I wasn't criticizing you at all, buddy. Just trying to make sure no one thought 2 plastic jugs was enough for a 6.0. But you probably put the other two in already when you filmed. All good. The presentation was very good! Thumbs up*
Simple & to the point! Thanks for the Video. I'm going to do my Dad's super duty, he wants me to take it to the Ford dealer. I don't want to waste $, I'd rather put in a little time & do it myself.
James Tyree II Actually I always do open the top but to save time on the video I didn't show the section where I went back to the drain right after opening the top. Maybe I should have shown it on the video to prevent any confusion. Either way it is not that huge of a deal to open the top later, it may save a little drain time. Hope you got something out of the video, Thanks for watching.
Good video. I have a 6.0 as well, and after you run it when filling with 15 quarts, it will again need another quart (because the filter will hold one to stay full until removed). So for anyone else with a 6.0, you can just put in 16 quarts right off the bat instead of saving one quart from the gallon bottle.
The owner's manual calls for 15 quarts of oil for an oil change including a filter. Putting 16 quarts in may overfill so I will stick with the recommended 15 quarts as I have for the life of the vehicle. Thanks for watching.
I ended up putting 16 in mine since an engine work shop made a note on the fan shroud that says "16 qts" but after checking it, it is overfilled, but not by much
Great, great idea with adding oil through the oil filter area. Thanks for sharing. Why didn't you put all 14 or 15 quarts through the oils filter area, though?
There may not be a legitimate reason but in my mind just to make sure oil has gone into all the correct places. Also the opening for the oil filter is much larger than the oil fill hole.
I just changed my oil with this video. How much oil is recommended to put in where the oil filter goes? I just put in 10 quarts there and then the remaining quarts in the engine oil refill area.
I know this is an older video. But I gotta say great job...but what I really gotta say is, ive been reading thru the comments and I can't believe how critical some of these beta mama's boys are...wow.."pull the filter first" ...u didn't show yourself re checking the oil" blah blah blah...jeez lahweez...i can't believe it...bunch of whiners and haters on the you tube...but hey man, great video
well see diesels are a lot of fucking money hahaha I'm looking for a 6.0l same year as the one i have with under 100k and 10-18k now see the odd of me finding one the way i like crew cab short box is slim to non XD
So I guess removing the oil filter at 1:01 in the video does not release any pressure??? I'd sure like to hear Ford explain that. Not sure what your going after. Hopefully this video was able to help you out. Thanks for watching.
According to the Service Manual. You don’t need to pour any oil into the filter housing. With the cap off the spring opens. And the oil is just being poured into the pan.
While it is true you do not have to pour oil into the oil filter housing it is a larger hole than the fill tube is and it is another opening that can be used to fill the vehicle with oil. Thanks for watching.
Question, about how much of the oil do you pour down the Oil filter hole? About how many quarts do you pour down that way before you pour down the oil cap. Thanks
@@funbro1 Thank you for the feedback. If i can ask another question, i just bought a 6.0 because of my job. Im new to owning a diesel. My water pump is going bad and my truck started to overheat. Turns out im low on Coolant due to the Water pump going bad. The pump I ordered, the OEM one takes a week to arrive. So I’ll just be filling the coolant to the level until it gets here. But im sorry if i sound dumb, but do I pour coolant down the Coolant reservoir? Apparently a buddy told the coolant goes through there, apparently theres no Radiator cap on these. Im sorry for sounding dumb but im learning as i go. And your videos really help me alot. 👍
I guess everything you did was fine even though you didn't release the filter tube first but since you didn't redo the drain plug it work. You should of shown you starting it then letting it settle then check the dip stick. That would be a perfect oil change on a 6.0
@@funbro1 awesome. Thanks for the reply. Are these trucks as bad as everybody says they are? I just got a stock one the other day one owner and has never done anything to it other than routine maintenance
@@funbro1 well I suppose I will just have to wait and see LOL I'm already dropping 1200 in the front end so I'm hoping I can catch a break after that. But again I appreciate your time thanks for responding
Great video, simple and to the point. I just bought the truck from a friend and it's gonna be the first time doing it, now I feel prepared to do it. What additive, if any would you recommend for the oil, and also for the fuel? Thanks How to Bob.
I would recommend the warmer the better just to get the most oil to flow out of the engine. With that being said you will need to wait a few minutes for gravity to do it's job and let the oil drain from the engine into the pan. Also if you are changing the oil "hot" or very warm I would definitely suggest gloves. Thanks for the question, and Thanks for watching.
Mine is at 350k, and is running like new. Awesome engine, specially if you delete the egr. I wish they released this truck/engine combo with a better tranny though, the four speed is murder on my fuel economy while highway driving.
Well I sold my Truck?!?! I miss it but my job took me a way from it - No way would I let it sit idle so I did what was best for it-- Great video. Cam you know what I mean- Good luck and many more miles!
The guy who built my 6 0 which has 445hp 810tq dynoed says 15w40 t4 always for life . Light a match to synthetic to thin and the motor requires pressure . But that's my opinion . Everyone is different .
Hopefully it doesn't use any oil that would mean the engine is worn,although it should hold 15 quarts unless you have a bypass filter added which will take a little more.
Is it possible that my oil cap isn’t supposed to come off the filter? I have pulled as hard as possible to get it to come off but it won’t, it still spins around freely and wobbles a little bit but won’t let go of the filter
You may have a NAPA gold cap. I believe those come as an assembly - ie the filter is glued to the cap. DO NOT pull out the NAPA filter and put a new one in. The NAPA caps are not re-usable. If you put a stock filter in the NAPA cap, which is slight taller, the oil filter seats further into the taller cap, giving it a shorter length overall. Then it wont depress the oil plunger in the bottom of the housing. IMO get a new CAP that fits a standard filter. The stock filter should "snap", or seat, into the cap. When you put a filter in a NAPA cap the filter doesn't snap solidly into place. It kind of wabbles, because it was originally glued. Those caps don't have the seating to hold the filter like the original caps do.
I find It to be ironic that you say "mileage is somewhat irrelevant" then proceed to give instructions to check the engine mileage. Thanks for watching
Why does this matter? Does the engine idling cause more wear to the engine? It seams to me engine idling would be less Wear on the engine and no wear on the tranny or rest of the drivetrain

Run the truck for a minute, then check the oil as it will fill the oil filter chamber with another quart that will remain there.
sure will. Thanks for watching.
Thanks BOB!!!!!
Thanks for watching.
How to Bob, you are supposed to remove the oil filter first before you drain the oil.
Really, Why is that?????
Who say you are supposed to?
Because it releases the pressure so all the oil drains to the bottom. It's Ford's official procedure.
Otherwise very good video.
So I guess removing the oil filter at 1:01 in the video does not release any pressure??? I'd sure like to hear Ford explain that. Not sure what your going after. Hopefully this video was able to help you out. Thanks for watching.
it's just to find out if the truck was driven more stop n go or highway miles...
So then you are saying it is relevant to the oil change?
