I'm subscribing! You took care of me bro! I'm 22yrs old live in Rio Grande Valle of Texas. My dad was a mechanic & as a toddler I would learn. He's been gone 11 years now and Ima do my own first oil change
Thanks Alexandro! We appreciate it! Your dad would be proud of you!
Your dad is with you son! He is always with you! Always!
Good video! I don’t like the drain plug gadget but that filler neck is a great idea. Good work on the angles too. Really helpful.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! We appreciate the support! 🤟
It's almost a requirement in the new f150s. In my 2019 there is a sway bar directly behind the drain plug. When you pull the screw the oil hits the bar at high velocity and sprays absolutely everywhere. Worst design I've ever seen. The little drain gadget fixes the problem.
Finally i have a vehicle that i can access the oil filter and do this process myself lol. No more removing a damn tire!!
did my first oil change using this. thanks!
Great job! Thanks for watching! 🙏
I learned so much. Thanks for the tips brother
No problem man, thanks for watching! 🤟
Thanks bro. I like also that you use mobile 1 oil and filter. Same here. Nice vid 👏🏾
I love mobile 1 lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
The music was great on this videos.
Hey thanks Jman! We appreciate it! 🤟
This is a really helpful video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and step through everything.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Houston! 🤟
Thank you for the video and the tricks!!! Go TEAM FORD!!!
Anytime Fabian! Thanks for watching! 🤟
amazing video homie
Thanks for watching! 🤟
@@TrickShiftGarage good to see you’re still replying to comments years later man. Rock on brother 🤘
I try my best lol! It's getting difficult now since we get so many. But I'll keep trying to get back to all of you! I appreciate the support brother! 🙏
Great video! Thanks.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
I’m sure you did this as well but I wipe down that tray where the oil from the filter flows. But I’m unable to wipe down the other spout. I’m getting a a few drips. I’ve change the oil probably 10 time before without the drips. Starting to worry something may be wrong.
Any opinion?
Same thing was happening to me. Just make sure the old oil filter seal came off when you removed the filter. And make sure the new filter I'd hand tight. It will still drip but shouldn't be an issue!
Up next…brakes! 😂 great video just got one of these and want to do my own maintenance. Thank you for the tips
No problem! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I may do some brake videos before winter, so stay tuned! 🤟
You can actually put the truck in flood mode to fill the Oil Filter. By holding throttle down and cracking the motor.
Wow I had no idea! Thanks for the information, I'll be sure to do this next time I change it. And thanks for watching!
Is this really a thing? Flood mode? Guessing tho you CRANK the engine, not crack it! LOL
@@600RemGuyit's a thing for when the cylinders gets flooded with gas. Flood clear mode engages the starter but doesn't power the gas pump, injectors or spark plug coils so the engine will only rotate with the starter.
Good video. I thought for sure though that the next video was going to be a tips and tricks for changing the breaks on an F-150.
Funny you mention that, we actually released 2 videos on the brakes for that model F150 but unfortunately ran into some technical difficulties so we scrapped them. Eventually I will have to change the brakes again, so I will give it another go when I get there.
No nonsense,nice video 👍
Thanks for watching Seth! 🤟
Just ordered tools from your amazon link, thanks
Hey Mark we appreciate that. We do earn a small commission off of those links and that helps us fund more videos for the channel. So thank you very very much and thank you for watching! 🤟
Excellent video thanks
Thanks for watching! 🤟
“And in the next video, how to change your breaks!” Thank you
Lol funny story: I did upload a video on the brakes for my truck but it was so terrible I had to take it down. I may go ahead and redo them this spring. I owe you all!
You failed to mention to check to make sure you’re not double-gasketing that oil filter. Sometimes when you remove the old one, the gasket stays stuck to the engine. If that happens and you place a new filter with gasket on top of it, all of your oil will spill out.
You're right! You should always check to make sure the filters gasket wasn't left behind! Good point! 🫡
Is it true you can substitute of quart or two of engine oil for Red Bull and the EcoBoost loses the Eco and just keep the Boost? Asking for a friend
I'm going to assume you are joking.
But this is the internet and I don't want anyone to take it seriously so...no! Lol, do not put redbull or anything other than oil (or oil additives) in the crankcase!
@@TrickShiftGarage 😎
I've got a stuck oil filter on my 5.0 and can't get it off. Ford didn't make it easy to remove a stuck oil filter. Do you have any suggestions?
That happened to me about a year ago. I had to try out different oil filter wrenches to loosen my filter. Definitely a pain, and it doesn't help that there isn't a lot of room down there. The best oil filter wrench you can use in that situation is one that tightens as you turn. That's really the best way to get it off.
When I run into tough oil filters what I do is punch a longer screwdriver through one side and tap it until it hits the other side of the filter without going through it again... that gives you good leverage to unscrew it..
I think any of them rubber oil filter loosening tools are absolute pieces of fecal matter. Another option is to curse smash your fingers and head kit grease in your eyes in your mouth from Awkward angles and then get out from underneath the truck and punch the neighbors dog in the face and Light the mailman's truck on fire sometimes that works too
Any reason you used mobil oil & filter....getting my 2012 f150 done by a garage ( not ford...lol), would like to advise the garage to replace it with mobil.
I've used Mobile 1 and (recently) Penzoil Platinum without any issues. Honestly, almost every Synthetic Oil is great. People just need to remember to change their oil when they are supposed to. Mobile 1 has been around a long long time, so if that's what you are considering, you won't be disappointed. 👍
@TrickShiftGarage thks live in canada gets pretty cold my kilometers on my 2012 is 140,700 ford sticker states oil to be changed at 146,000 but on my digital guage states my oil is at 9%. Never have I let it get below 18%. Don't know how accurate those displays are so I'm getting it changed...thks for the info.
Hey Mike, I honestly would just stick with every 5000 miles (I think that's around 8000 kilometers). Ford's percentage is pretty accurate, however I like to stick with 5000 miles since I mostly drive highway and the oils nowadays are so much better than they used to be. It's a good number to stick with either way. Again, I think that's around 8000 kilometers.
Teach me how to replace the sparkplug. All mechanics up there price cause they have to remove the intake in order to work on the 3 under the intake.
Alexandro that's a great idea! I'll change them out next weekend and then try to release the following. So be on the lookout in 2 weeks!
Mine has a weird pan that makes it drain in two different locations. Will this work for me?
Yep! I had the same issue. Check out the video, and you will see what I did.
Want to get the neck thing to add the oil just got a 2013 ford f150 fx2 will it fit
It worked on my 2013 F150, even though Amazon says it doesn't fit. I'm not sure why.
Cool thanks also the valve looks really useful especially with the whole kit looks like everything would be easier
Yea for sure man. It worked perfect for my truck.
Nice 👍 I have the same truck and year
Very nice, Wayne. These trucks can run forever.
I looked up the fill tube and it says does not fit 2013 f150 is that the right amazon number? I have a 2013 f 150 5.0
Yes, that's the right number. For some reason Amazon now says it does not fit. I'm unsure why, but mine fit perfectly.
@@TrickShiftGarage ok wanted to make sure thanks
Does anybody know what the oil capacity is for these 5.0s if you don’t change the filter?
The filter really should be swapped out with every oil change. A clogged filter can cause serious engine wear.
However, I believe these filters contain about half a quart or slightly less. I hope this helps!
I was going to get the oil tube extender thing from amazon. It says it isnt compatible with a 2011 F150. Is Amazon just crazy?
Lol kind of. So the one I have linked is the one I used on my truck. It fits, but it also told me it doesn't work with mine.
The best advice I can give you (if you really want the elbow) is to buy it and then see it if fits. If it doesn't, Amazon is really good with returns. It shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully it works like mine did and you don't have an issue.
Hey I was wondering if you ever tried the oil filter on your 2011 ? I have a 2011 as well and am thinking about buying it.
@@alexbolduc3598 yes, it worked fine for me. No leaking
Damn that’s a great fuckin idea thanks
Anytime! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
I have the 3.5 but this video was still helpful, subscribed
Awesome, thank you very much!
easy enough i can do this
Yes you can! The filter is kind of a pain given its location. But other than that, it's pretty simple. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🤟
One review on Amazon about the drain plug said it started leaking after 3k miles and he had to put his oem plug back on. How is yours doing and how many miles have you driven after installing it?
Hello James! I currently have about 11,000 miles on my truck since installing the valvomax. I haven't had any issues, and hopefully I never do.
These are aftermarket parts, so I'm not going to be surprised if it did start leaking. But so far so good! If I have any issues I'll be sure to make a video on it. Thanks for watching! 🤟
@@TrickShiftGarage yeah Scotty done a positive review on them too so I went ahead and ordered the plug and oil fill adapter. It was like 52 bucks for both and will be here tuesday
@@jiggidyjam awesome dude! Let us know how you like it when you get it!
@@TrickShiftGarage will do. Thanks for the heads up
@@TrickShiftGarage I got them both installed and was easier than easy. Thanks for video
Dorman Oil Fill Extension Amazon says it doesn’t work on a 2014 F150!!! Any help on this would be great. Really like the extension.
It does fit, but there were concerns over leaks so I think Amazon stopped recommending it for our trucks.
I'm currently working on an updated video proving the oil fill elbow doesn't leak. I cleaned up the area around the elbow and it's been perfect for 2 weeks now. I'm giving it a full month just in case and will provide all updates in that video.
What is the part# for the oil cap elbow?
Hello Greg, I have a link in the description of the video. I believe the brand is Dorman. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a website or part number for the oil fill extension?
Hello James! Yes there is a link in the description titled "Dorman Oil Fill Extension". It's currently on sale for less than $10 too. Thanks for watching!
@@TrickShiftGarage thank you sir.😊
Ironically, Amazon says that filler extension doesn’t fit a 2013 F-150 with 5.0
Yea, a few people have mentioned that. But it did work for me so I'm not quite sure why it states that.
@@TrickShiftGarage yep, proof is in the pudding. If you haven’t had any issues, I’m trusting the video proof.
Does this work for the 2010
It's very similar, but not exactly. 2010 was the last year they used the 4.6 and 5.4 V8 engines. The 5.0 replaced it and that's what was in this video.
Okay for sure I was trying to search for my work truck and it sent me directly to you lol
Lol well we are glad you stopped by! Some of our videos will work for your truck, if you wanted to take a look.
I for the life of me couldn’t find the filter on my father in laws truck. Thanks for this I was starting to think there wasn’t one.
No problem Connor! Thanks for watching! 🤟
Where can I find the oil filler extension?
Hello Rigoberto! Here is a link to the oil elbow:
Dorman Oil Fill Extension - amzn.to/3yONHfd
If that link doesn't work, I also have a link in the description of the video. Let me know if the link works or not. If it doesn't, I will provide an updated link.
@@TrickShiftGarage ordered the oil filler extension. Thanks for your assistance. Be blessed brother.
@@jamescor1491 absolutely! Thanks for watching man, we really appreciate it! 🙏
Where did you get the oil cap elbow
I got it from Amazon. In the description of the video, there is a link next to "Dorman Oil Fill Extension".
Thanks for watching and let us know if you have anymore questions!
Amazon says the oil filler neck will NOT fit a 2011 F 150 5.0
Yea I notice it says that for my truck now too. I'm not sure if they changed the design or if some people complained about it and then Amazon changed it? I really have no idea to be 100% honest. Mine is working fine still.
It's not a necessary part, so if you are on the fence about it then I wouldn't worry about getting one. But it is convenient, which is why I bought it.
7.7 Quarts in a V6????? that's alot of oil dude! sure that is right? damn !I just bought a 2014 F 150 3.7 liter and I am tryin to learn all of this new shit! I have been driving a crown Vic Interceptor for 10 yrs plus and 5 Qrts is about as much as a 4.6 liter ford can hold this is freakin me out a lil bit...LOL but you seem to have yer shit together! so Im trusting u my brother!...im new to the F150 world! especially 2014 yr model!I am getting a really hard shift from first to second gear... have you ever seen a situation like this in your truck??
This is a 5.0 V8. And I hear ya. My OBS F150 takes 5 quarts, but these newer V8's have a deeper oil pan. A lot of manufacturers are doing that so they can tell the customer to go more than 5k miles per oil change. I'd rather stick with 5k on the newer truck and 3k on my old truck.
7.7 quarts its nothing. The more the better to avoid oil starvation in high Gs corners with grippy tires. My car calls for 7.1 quarts, I put 9 in there every single time.
Overfilling is not good for your bottom end either. You're lucky nothing has broke yet.
@@TrickShiftGarage Nothing will ever happen. I blew up 3 engines at the track until a buddy of mine suggested running 2 more quarts of oil in the engine. The alternative is buying a $2000ish better baffled deeper oil pan but I'm on a budget. the engines are $400 a piece. We eventually installed oil pressure gauge and the pressure would drop significantly in the corners for a brief moment. Each tight corner would eat away at the bearings until eventually they would just spin and sieze the crankshaft. We've also installed a beefy oil cooler sourced from an E9X M3 so its not like the extra 2 quarts are sitting on the pan but for quite a while we were just running it with the oem "heat-exchanger" type cooler with the 2 quarts on top.
Maybe it worked in your application with your vehicle, but to claim it will be fine with every vehicle is disingenuous. There is a reason these car manufacturers recommend a certain amount.
The way the drain pan for the oil filter is designed kinda sucks in my opinion because it retains some oil and is difficult to clean up. I noticed mine retained some oil and then when I moved the truck a little dribble came out on my driveway. Argh.
Same Alex. It is not a good design at all. This summer I plan on doing an oil filter relocation, which I will try to do a video on. We will see how it goes!
What size socket did you use to remove the drain plug?
Hello Kailey! The oil drain bolt is a 15MM. Thanks for watching! 🤟
Hi guys, I have a 2012 F150 with 5.0 L. After changing oil and filter and letting the truck sit and drain for easily half an hr, when parking truck after done it still leaks oil from the filter plastic drain spouts. Makes a mess on road, Im not the first person having this issue, what do you do.
Hello Chris! So I probably should have included this in the video, but one thing I do after replacing the filter is grab a rag and wipe all around the oil filter housing. Sometimes I will even grab a wrench, wrap the rag around it and force the wrench under the filter to make sure I get it all. Sometimes it will still drip for another few minutes after doing this, but eventually it will stop.
It's a pretty bad design by Ford honestly. I've been looking into oil filter relocation kits to see if I can make it easier on everyone with an F150 with the 5.0.
Another thing you can try: after putting the new filter on, spray the area around the filter with brake clean. This will help the oil clean out faster too.
I hope this helps Chris!
Upgrades mustang 5.0 brown pcv valve to stop oil usage! Not the blue valve!
My motor eats oil please elaborate
What is the dorman part #? Tried Amazon to no avail. Great video!
Can't remember off the tip of my head, but I know the link in the description should take you right to it. Thanks for watching!
Tried again and it goes to#917-415 which says it does not fit. It looks like the
same one. Guess I'll order and return if not. Thanks!
Hmm, before you order let me do some research first just to make sure. I'm assuming you also have the 5.0, right?
OK it looks like that part number does in fact fit the 5.0. I wanted to make sure that was the one I ordered and Amazon didn't discontinue it. I check an F150 forum and have confirmed it will work. So I'm assuming that really is the same one I bought.
@@TrickShiftGarage Right!
That motor calls for 7.7 qts. Sure you can measure out 7.7 but the full 8 quarts won’t hurt it in the slightest. It’s literally .3 quarts more than what the manufacturer calls for.
It doesn't hurt to measure it out either. 🤷♂️ I would stick with the recommendation from the manufacturer. It's always better to take some extra time to get something right, than to cut corners.
When you gonna fix them squeky brakes? 😅
🤣 once I need new ones lol.
@@TrickShiftGarage I've got a 2013 STX 2WD. Mine have been squeaking bad when I go in reverse. I'm hoping to find instructions how to change them.
Hey thanks for reaching out! I believe Ford Tech Makuloco has a couple videos on brakes for these trucks. I'm unfortunately not going to be getting to them this year. Hopefully come spring I can do a good video for you all!
Pause at 6:04
Dude you gonna twist the whole damn truck on its side.
😆
Couple of things you did wrong!
First before you installed your oil drain adapter, you wiped the oil drain hole, then the bottom of the pan and then the hole again! You're wiping all that road crap onto the hole!
Second, why did you use old, dirty oil to lubricate your new oil filter gasket?!?!?! Use the NEW , CLEAN OIL!!!!
I think you are being a little too serious lol. This has never been an issue.
That's the worst thing you could have done, instead of the oil instantly running out and bringing all of the contaminants with it, it will not take forever to empty and leave junk in the pan. These gimmicky devices have been around for years and all they do is to cause more issues. You want to quickly evacuate all of the contaminated oil.
It's the worst thing I could have done? I'm pretty sure there are far worse things.
And as long as you change your oil when you are supposed to, there won't be a lot of contaminants.
And just because the oil is moving slower, does not mean it's leaving behind contaminants. That's an assumption based on zero evidence.
Last thing: it's been about 50,000 miles and I have had zero issues. Engine runs perfect, truck feels great. If you have concerns, then don't buy one. I'm not asking you to buy one. I decided to try out a new (to me) product and it's been perfectly fine. 👌
Takes longer with that adaptor
Yep, but it's not that much longer. I let it drain for awhile with or without a Valvomax.
Yeah because every second in the pit counts in NASCa... eh I mean doing an oil change from the comfort of your driveway...🙄 some people just need a swift back hand knuckle slap in the balls for being "that guy"..😉
Another tip is never change your oil brand. Synthetics all corrode in different ways. Use the same brand for the life of an engine if possible . Or… do what you want to I’m sure you know everything anyways.
Nope, I actually know very little about everything lol. I'm just like everyone else, trying to learn as much as possible. And that is a good tip. I usually stick with Mobile 1. I think most people stick with a brand if it continues to work for them. And Mobile 1 has been very good to my vehicles.
Can't hear the instructions because of the #%&@
Understandable. A lot of people have mentioned they prefer these types of videos without music, so I've been going back and editing a few of them without music.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Great video. Thanks 👍🏾
Anytime! Thanks for watching! 🤟
