Not going to lie, I probably take care of the customer’s car better than my own! 😂 but I loved the video! I can definitely relate when I do the oil changes on the TRD Pro trucks for toyota. They come with a heavy splash guard that can be a pain to remove. There are ways to get the filter and drain plug out. And of course I take my time so I don’t spend twice as much time cleaning a mess or having a come back for some oil that was never cleaned. Keep up the videos!!
I'm interested in this new "narration style' of video editing. Is this permanent, or temporary because of shop regs for recording? Also, great video on how to do clean jobs, this should be made into a mandatory watch list series for all new lube techs. :)
I am setting one up for sure There's so much noise in the shop I want you guys to hear what I'm saying so I just turn the volume down and then edit over it
Dude I just bought those exact same pair of oil filter plyers from home Depot for hard to reach filters , they weren't the cheapest but man have they made my life easier
Hey, maybe you could do a video for people who are starting mechanics and starting tool sets. I graduated trade school, most of my mechanic instructors are recommending snapon tools and or matco tools. What do you recommend?
Hey boss, I really enjoy your helpful tips with Ford products. I am currently in the process of installing a steering wheel with cruise on a 2011 Ford Crown Vic and was wondering what the most cost efficient way of reflashing the PCM to enable CC is? Dealer wants to charge me 150 for it but I don't know if there's a better way to go about it. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'm glad we all have a perspective into what happens behind the curtains of a dealership service shop. Thanks again!
For only $150... let the dealer do it. You try to do it yourself and mess something up... you could be up the creek. The dealer at least would/should stand behind the work if they do it.
@@Chriz218 yeah. Plus... if the topic ever comes up(if you resell the vehicle) you have more leverage when disclosing how that type of work was done. Buyers typically like to hear the work was done by the dealer rather than in Ed’s tool shed. 😂 Idk for the price... probably just better to let the dealer do it. If it was several hundred or thousands... then yeah I’d suggest trying other options. If you try flashing yourself, or have someone else do it, and you lose your pcm... then you’re out the money you paid and you also need to drop a few hundred on a new pcm. So yeah... probably just let the dealer handle it tbh. There may be some other, cheaper and safe, options available tho. Hopefully others will chime in if they have any suggestions. Cheers bud
I don't remember if there is 3 or 4 variations of those Channellock filter pliers but I have all of them. They're great tools and well worth the prices.
I use a Solo cup to catch the oil from the filter. I cut off about 1” of the cup and it fits nicely under the filter. You need to empty the cup once during the drain. Just tighten the filter slightly, dump the cup and repeat. I let it drain a few minutes and don’t spill a drop.
I use one of those small 24oz cheap throwaway Tupperware tubs and it sits in the tray perfectly, catches all the oil and gives room to dump the filter more.
Hey man been a big fan of your videos!! Is there a way I can message you and ask some questions? I made an honest mistake tonight and just trying to see how bad it is. Long story short I broke the dogs/tabs inside the oil pan that the plug uses to lock against. It’s a 2017 F-150 3.5 eco. I do appreciate it man.
How can you possibly do a nice job when getting flat rate? When I worked at a dealer we got .2 hour for an oil change only way to make any money was to sell unnecessary break jobs and front end work anything that wasn’t warranty work as that paid crap as well I quit in less than a month and went back to an independent shop where they paid hourly wage and we did quality honest work
How much do you get for an oil change in your shop? Retired dealership tech here, last Ford store I worked at we got 0.3 for LOF, that's 18 minutes of pay for the laymen out there, 0.4 if they want tires rotated. So that's 18 minutes from the time they hand you the ticket until you hand it back when finished or else you're losing money. I don't wait for a filter to drip dry, stick a funnel up there, hold it in place and remove the filter and be done with it.
.3 Lube oil filter and .5 for rotate You're not spending any more time doing this and when it comes to the cleanliness of the job I don't really care about the pay part take the same time no matter what
But I'm one of the master techs in the shop, I don't change oil and when I do I make sure it's clean and I do it very nice to the point where I'm being conscious of what I'm doing without rushing You're changing oil you ain't making money on that let's face it....let's just do the job right nice and clean and be done without spraying a bunch of s*** all over the place the clean up the mess....imo
Most people don't do this so slow because they only get so much time for a job. It would take half a day to do a B service on a Class 8 Mack when they have 3 oil filters and 1 fuel filter and your allowed 1 hours to get it done.
If one of the master techs are doing this they're not losing out anything by doing this because if it's in their stall they typically have a repair order that has seven other lines that go along with it that they make their money on
@@FordBossMe That is very true I agree with let them go slow they are typically new on the job. The heavy duty and automotive worlds are different in a lot of ways. I'm master certified for Mack and Volvo and I get paid hourly but I still have to make or break the book time for both my efficiency and productivity even if its just a service since we don't have just lube techs at least at my location.
I have to come behind our Lube techs all the time and make sure they're doing their job and a lot of time to do it for them so the customers don't get upset
Radom question. Today I was off-roading in elevation of 8,500-9000 ft on my 2016 Ford F-150 5.0 4wd FX4 trim and I happened to notice my transmission temp ranging from 210-223 without having anything attached/towing. My question is is that a normal temperature range or should I be concerned and take it in to get inspected at the dealership.
That's not too bad I would just make sure the radiator is clean up because that's typically why the trans temp will rise High an when your off-roading..... a lot of dirt kicks up and can clog up the radiator and the AC condenser
My F150/FX4 Ford provides that plastic drain gutter for oil filter oil but it just drains off in to the skid plate and frame. Is there a better way to utilize the drain gutter? It seems like a great idea but doesn't help me at all. The oil doesn't even run down and out of it, just puddles.
I have a question. Doesn't a sideways mounted filter like that make it less efficient? You would think that anything filtered would just flow right back into the system.... I am probably overthinking it.
I had a '93 Cherokee with the 4.0L in it, oil filter was mounted upside down, those engines are known to last forever so I guess it doesn't make any difference. I prefer vertical so I can fill the filter before I install it, might not make a difference but it can't hurt anything.
Great video! I have a 2019 and changing the oil filter is a pain in the butt! Would love to see draining the oil please. I’ve changed mine twice now and put a little oil on the filter seal, is it recommended for my vehicle? Lastly, you are spot on about Raptor owner’s, we are anal. Lol sorry
Good job & I appreciate that you respect others stuff. I change my own oil because I don't trust anyone else but I'd definitely wouldn't worry about you changing it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Ever been on your 63rd oil change of the day and been greeted by a Gen 2 raptor? That's at least ten minutes removing that 20 pounds of skid plate just to be greeted by what's essentially the exact same job as an F series pickup underneath. They should have gone the hummer route, because even with all that metal underneath every raptor owner I've ever had the displeasure running a service for has been the softest flabbiest person of the day.
Had a 2020 Raptor in last week for first oil change. My first 3.5 Raptor oil change. Love that they mark on the larger skid plate “DO NOT REMOVE FOR OIL CHANGE” lol
Dear god I always under appreciated working on German cars and their top mounted cartridge style oil filters. So easy to change with no mess. With my truck I hate changing the oil as it’s just a mess.
🤦♂️ on my Silverado the oil filter it 3 inches away from the drain plug!!! Soooo EASY to change the oil!!! And has a regular 15 mm drain bolt!! Nice video!! But it's just common sense about the torks and the filter!!!
This is cleaners then when I watched my main mechanic who’s dropped it accidentally causing drip tray spell all over his pants I felt bad he just laughed it off this was at 10 am I hope he got to go home to change pants
Really appreciate you showing folks how to really get the job done, and done right. I know that speaking on behalf of other pros out there who really know, DIYers who love their particular car are also at this level of detail, and appreciate seeing how you take care of the little details. Awesome vid as always.
I completely agree with the care and diligence taken during this oil change. I commend you for being a true professional. Everyone in the comments might not realize the reason there are so many hacks out there. FLAT RATE. I feel the flat rate system by default breeds sub par service. Keep up the great work brother.
@@FordBossMe Look again. I'm not talking about the access cover, but those two bolts up and over to the left of our picture. You see both at the 0:05 seconds mark. One looks tight and the other one next to it looks loose.
@@jamesplotkin4674 yes who ever worked on it before it was traded in was doing something there I've got to do about 10 hours worth of work to that truck so I got to pull all that s*** down it's got a couple oil leaks so I have to remove all that I didn't even tighten it up because when I put it up in the air it was already there like that it's got a plastic oil pan leak and it's got two CV axle leaks and that it has a rear differential cover leak
I hate how they make the hole for the oil to fall through on the shield so small. On fords like that I usually put a funnel on it to Save myself cleaning
From all my years of doing oil changes I’ve always reinstalled oil filter by hand and only hand why people crank them on I just don’t know it just helps mushroom the gaskets and yes I put a pile of rags and small tray to catch the run off , I’ve always said to my guys treat it like it’s yours
I hope all these people with turbos realize they need to change that oil as soon and as much as possible if they actually want to keep their trucks running good.
Great video like always 👌on a different note I have a 2012 ford escape and I'm having a issue with front brakes I just replaced ford oem rotors and I used Napa adaptive one ceramic pads cleaned everything up and greased everything up calipers sliding back forth good but at times when braking getting light grind can't figure it out any advice Thanks
Honestly I don't know what to say other than you're going to have to monitor for metal I know ceramic pads make noise but they typically don't make a grinding sound
I punch a hole in the filter then by the time I'm done checking tire pressures or doing my visual inspection I pull the filter. Cools off quicker to when you're slammed with waiters.
Whatever works for you but the whole point behind my videos is cleanliness and doing the job right because a lot of the Lube techs at the dealership and the Fast Lube places that will make sure that s***'s clean when they're done they just take a can of brake clean and they spray the piss out of it and let it get all over the place and then the customer complains about it or they just have at it and impact the s*** out of the bolts that hold the lower cover and then the customer ends up complaining about that Fast isnt always key efficiency makes someone fast
@@FordBossMe Obviously every vehicle is different and I don't just drain the oil on the floor or all over a skid plate. If I can let it flow into the funnel tray that's what I do. I too treat customer's cars like they're mine even as a lube tech at Toyota decades ago and learned the quickest most efficient way from them having a 30 minute guarantee and me having six people waiting when I showed up to work. I'm with you on the brake cleaner too.
Have you ever had an oil filter back out or fall off or leak by tightening it by hand any comebacks i just feel like getting it as tight as i can by hand is good but you turn a certain amount
Oil filter is easy, draining the oil can be a bit more messy. After my first change I went off roading. After a particularly steep section I saw some oil dripping from the nether regions of my Raptor. I Freeked for 1/2 second then realized it was from a sloppy job I did on my first oil change. Installed a Fumoto drain valve and an aluminum trough...no more mess.
@@GrandPrix46 to me, if I want a truck like a raptor, I would buy like a lariat put a lift on it, put some off-roading tires on, and put the raptor style grille on, and it would probably be cheaper then a raptor, and smaller.
@@kad3e3 I'm almost certain a lot of people buy them just to say they have a raptor. Guy I work with bought one some years back, he promptly got rid of it after getting tired of making the payments + poor mpg + high insurance.
@@FordBossMe Is it true that the oil change must be completed quickly to prevent the oil pump draining on the 3.2? Or is this another case of internet bs?
@@Nick-bp7jf you can prime the oil filter on that one by holding the throttle pedal down while you're cranking the vehicle with the key and it will circulate and pull oil back up through the pump and then when you're done drinking for a few seconds you could start the vehicle

Seriously a horizontal oil filter? Why can't all oil filters be vertically installed and right next to the oil pan like on the Fusion?
I use a Solo cup to catch the oil from the filter. I cut off about 1” of the cup and it fits nicely under the filter. You need to empty the cup once during the drain. Just tighten the filter slightly, dump the cup and repeat. I let it drain a few minutes and don’t spill a drop.

I don’t use impacts, but 12v variable clutch drives. Always check for the old filter oring on filter. Also put miles and date on new filter
this is a used car trade in the miles and dates are on the Repair Order as well as tech #
On customer cars i do the same as you but not on used cars

@@FordBossMe jiffy lube would use impact to put it back on.
i still love my air tools
Absolutely
This is 100% a stupid question, but post oil change is it common for a lot of oil to remain in the skid plate?
I liked your trick for the retaining clips, I'll have to try it next time!
It happens. Used to do it with my Mazda. Not a lot but some. guess it depends on placement if skidplate vs drainbolt and filter
No it's not all of that should be cleaned off and should be nothing on the skid plate or in the drain pan
Oil filter is easy, draining the oil can be a bit more messy.
After my first change I went off roading. After a particularly steep section I saw some oil dripping from the nether regions of my Raptor. I Freeked for 1/2 second then realized it was from a sloppy job I did on my first oil change.
Installed a Fumoto drain valve and an aluminum trough...no more mess.
If there's any truck out there that the owners don't do their own maintenance, it's definitely a raptor.
I see mostly women driving raptors no lie. Including my neighbor
@@ligmaballz3584 makes sense, nobody who needs a truck to do truck stuff is buying a raptor.
@@GrandPrix46 to me, if I want a truck like a raptor, I would buy like a lariat put a lift on it, put some off-roading tires on, and put the raptor style grille on, and it would probably be cheaper then a raptor, and smaller.
@@kad3e3 I'm almost certain a lot of people buy them just to say they have a raptor. Guy I work with bought one some years back, he promptly got rid of it after getting tired of making the payments + poor mpg + high insurance.
Hi. Do you have the 3.2 duratorq diesel in America?
Yes
@@FordBossMe Is it true that the oil change must be completed quickly to prevent the oil pump draining on the 3.2? Or is this another case of internet bs?
@@Nick-bp7jf you can prime the oil filter on that one by holding the throttle pedal down while you're cranking the vehicle with the key and it will circulate and pull oil back up through the pump and then when you're done drinking for a few seconds you could start the vehicle
@@Nick-bp7jf I'll recheck the service manual in the morning for you just remind me send me another message a new one
@@FordBossMe Will do, thank you. So does depressing the throttle pedal allow the engine to crank without starting?
