Nothing like servicing your own car. It feels so rewarding.
It doesn't have to be that extreme to feel rewarding. As long as you maintain your ride, I bought an R34 off a guy who never really looked after it and he thought it was on it's way out so he sold it to me for next to nothing. 2 years later n I'm still daily driving her. Just knowing how she performs from when I first bought her compared to now, after all the money n work I've put in...that's satisfaction enough for me, and the fact that I didn't pay a mechanic to do any of it either is even more so. Good learning experience, and totally worth the time and effort. You learn to really appreciate them
I agree. Even if it's a small job it feels rewarding. It's even rewarding to your pocket lol.

Also helps you choose the brand of oil and quality of filter.
Good time to look underneath and see if any problems are happening for yourself also.
You were checking the oil while the car was on a ramp.....................no soup for you, always check oil on level ground.
It is not a difference. Try it ;)
Thanks, now the next step: get enough money for a 2015 mustang.
good job he has a 2015 mustang
+James I see that I'm talking for myself.
+CarbonVideo So original!!1111!1111!1!!111
+Gordon Henrichs Wow thanks!!11111111!!
I just realized this is probably like a click baity video this kid made. I was just watching to make sure i could change my oil myself
just a quick tip for your oil change, always check the oil after you start it as well, because, before you start it the oil isn't flowing around the oil filter yet, after it is started the oil is circulated all around the engine, and oil filter, checking level after starting will be the most accurate level reading
Next time pre load the filter with oil, it's always a great idea
+Victor “Bigsexy” Oliveira That's what I said as well. Never a bad idea at all!
+Victor “Bigsexy” Oliveira can you explain what it means to preload it with oil?
+maximus9401 It means fill up the oil filter with oil before installing it. You can do it for piece of mind, but it isn't necessary.
+maximus9401 After you fill it, if you leave it sitting for a bit, the filter will absorb a good amount of the oil so it won't splash out as easy when you're installing it. :)
Connor - after that happens...I pour more in...let it soak...pour more in, etc. Once it stops absorbing, I top is off to a safe level that I won't spill any and install!
Lol the Pennzoil reasoning is such bullshit😂
My video was the first time I changed mine as well! Thanks Pennzoil for forcing us "car guys" through a right of passage we should have done long ago.
Nice that your Mustang has the filter upside down and easy to access. Mine was above the exhaust pipes between the block and the firewall, so super tough to get at. Drain plug came off fine, filter was a pain!
Agreed! Feels good, I plan to change it myself from now on as long as the weather is decent! Sorry to hear yours is a pain, I was surprised how easy everything was to get to on mine.
+subaruwrxfan how many miles will you run up before you change if your doing it yourself?
subaruwrxfan I should note that I'm referring to the Integra, not the Subaru (which I've not yet changed).
I gotcha! Yeah I watched your video, you did a great job too!
I'll change it every 5k still.
Nicely filmed and edited Matt. Fun doing work on your own car. I am sure Beth was impressed with the mess : )
Thanks Nick! Haha she liked seeing me working on my car *cheeky smile*. She helped film the last parts of the video for me too lol.
Props to you Matt for doing your first oil change publicly. Brave
"FIRST, JACK UP YOUR CAR" Loved it Matt! Maybe I'll attempt this with the Vette but since my first five are free it's hard to pass that up lol
Haha I'm guessing that's a mighty car mods reference
the crazy llama ;)
He busted that nut pretty good eh? :D
I always wear a pair of latex gloves when I do mine. keeps your hands a LOT cleaner lol.
+ChiCity773 Wtf? Really?
+TheMidnightNarwhal Oil is a carcinogen. You would have to expose yourself to oil A LOT to get cancer. However, I would always recommend avoiding skin contact. I didn't really know this myself until I started working on aircraft in the Air Force.
Matt another thing you want to do if you have an oil filter that is in the upright position like yours is to fill the filter beforehand that way you're not running air through on the first start up. Some people might say it's pointless but better safe than sorry!
I'm taking auto repair tech. and that's what my teacher has said
+Raymond Korang I agree. I always fill my filter up with oil before putting back on. Of course mine is an upside down filter as well. Otherwise once you start your car back up after the filter change the oil level will drop slightly and as a result you have to add a bit more oil since the filter will hold quite a bit depending on it's size.
I hate how some cars take an obscure amount of oil like 5.7 quarts (mine takes 6.5). Why can't they just use 5?? that's how oil is sold anyway.
because they want you to take it to the dealership, as the dealership will have a dispenser of some sort and whats effectively just a giant measuring cup for motor oil, they can put exactly 5.7, or 6.5
source: work at an oil change shop and we have the same thing here, no way the dealership doesn't have a similar system
That's the whole idea to sell you more.
My 2019 GT takes 10 quarts. Yes 10!
@@mysteryboyee they charge me for 6 since its charged per quart
Great video, simple to follow. Directly after watching, went to Walmart, bought everything I needed and performed the oil change, also rotated my tires. Thanks!
no need to wait 45 minutes when draining. 5 is plenty.
Wait.... You checked the oil leve with the car still on ramps? *Facepalm*
Harris Montevallo face palm your self you dumbass how was he going to get the car off the ramp because I don't know if you know this but you shouldn't turn a car on without any oil 👏👏👏👏👏👏 let's give asinine a round of applause
tuberman93 axb Lol what?? You pour in what the manufacturer recommends, start it up, roll off the ramps, and check the oil afterwards when the car is leveled. Also, get a drain bucket that has level readings so you know how much comes out. Its not rocket science u cockhead.
Not only on ramps, but before he started it and filled the filter. Why would Pennsoil sponsor an oil change video when the first thing said was - I have Never changed my own oil before ...
he was his first time christ
Great video :) Couple notes - it's never a bad idea to 'prefill' that oil filter before screwing it on. Those soak up a LOT of oil and the theory is that is may temporarily starve the engine (until filter is primed). When priming the filter, the filter just keeps absorbing the oil you pour in. Takes about two minutes to saturate the filter element. Also, be sure to always check oil level after letting the car idle/warm-up. It will definitely be below the 'Full' mark that you observed initially. Obviously, priming the filter before-hand reduces how much the level drops when you check it the second time.
This has to be one of your best videos yet (: very professionally done!!
And now here's an instruction for a good oil change....
- take your car for a quick spin around the block so that the oil is warm but not hot (warm oil flows more easily than cold oil)
- put a magnet in the oil pan!!!
- let the oil drain, then clean everything around there, put new bolt in
- check if any metal cuttings are sticking to the magnet!!!
- remove the oil filter, then clean everything around there, keep an eye on where the O-ring sits
- put the O-ring for the new filter on the exact same spot after lubricating it a bit with oil
- put the new oil filter in
- fill in the new oil (as much as the manual says)
- roll down your car to a flat surface
- start up the engine and let it run for about a minute (the new oil filter is absorbing about 1/2 liter of oil)
- check the dip stick
- if needed fill in more oil until it reaches the middle marker
you're welcome
FYI ... when your checking oil level make sure its on fairly level ground... not on your ramps. Other than that good video! I love my Ecoboost also
Matt, You need to re-check your oil level again AFTER start up. Oil level will drop on the dipstick due to the oil filter being filled after start-up. Then recheck for leaks again. You did good for the first oil change.
+53crab Thanks! I checked it again afterwards too.
Not sure how much of a difference it *really* makes, but I always fill the oil filter with oil before installing it. It's supposed to prevent oil starvation on initial startup after changing. Don't know if it really does, but doesn't hurt to do it...
COOL How to Change Oil in a 2015 Mustang EcoBoost! my 1995 ford mustang gt has two oil drain plugS
You're not kidding about that drain plug being extremely tight. Another reason why I like to do my own oil changes... Most shops over tighten stuff. I use the same ramps with my EB as well.
Nice vid!
I would check the dip stick when car is leveled for a more accurate reading.
I hate how these videos cause so much debate. Great video anyway.
Thanks man! I just bought my first car (1990 Maita) yesterday and all it needed was an oil change. Then my favorite youtuber uploaded a video on it and I changed my own oil!
I want an NA miata 😢
Congrats on your Miata and have fun! Glad the video helped!
Just got my first car and it's also a Miata (94 m edition) got it about three weeks ago. Check out my video of it
lukas bibboty I will! I wish I could get one but I only have to pay classic car insurance which is like $25 a month because its 25 yrs. you know how expensive car insurance is for teenage boys is I'm sure XD
+Patrick rox yeah mine is like 80$ a month for the car alone idk how much it cost with me. I love my Miata tho great first car to learn manual and learn how rwd works. Also super easy to work on
When changing the oil on my Abarth 500 I never have to go under the car. I drain the oil with an extractor and the paper oil filter is easily accessed near the top of the engine by removing a plastic cap. I'm also a fan of Pennzoil. 5W40 (Euro-Oil) is stupid hard to find in stores and Pennzoil is usually all I have to choose from. It still looks good after many miles and I don't burn off any oil compared to other brands.
Changing your oil yourself is great because unfortunately most service departments are pretty reckless when driving around your car. I know too many people including myself who has had a car damaged under service care. If you want something done right... DIY. Great video!
Thumbs up because I alway enjoy watching other people do there oil change.
I just bought mine this week and haven't looked for the oil filter, but wholly cow!!! I've never had a car with the oil filter so easy to get to. I've always said the guys who engineered the location of oil filters never changed his own oil.
do you realize you where checking the oil while the car was still on lifted of course your not gonna get an accurate reading and you should start it then check it Mr. carguy
I highly recommend buying and wearing gloves for oil changes. I'm talking about the cheap throw away gloves from NAPA. I have learned to use a long handle 1-inch socket wrench to loosen the drain plug, a plug that for some reason is over-tightened from my local Ford dealership.
I usually hammer a small hole (with a screw driver) into the old filter to let the fluid drain out before removing it. helps minimize the mess!
The Mustang looks real good in the background. The best way to loosen the drain bolt is to use your feet and kick the bolt loose with the wrench.
Good video don't listen to the people bitching. Everyone has to start somewhere. Pretty smooth for your first oil change.
I just wanted to say I'm a fan of your videos just wanted to give pointer to you for future oil changes and that is to "prime" (fill with fresh oil) the oil filter because it is a Eccoboost(turbo) you want to be sure not to starve it of oil that can destroy the turbo. just thought you should know
I know this has probably been said already, but the advantage to having a vertical upside down filter is that you can "pre-fill" it with oil before you screw it on. This helps with dry starts and oil pressure will build much faster, otherwise congrats on you're first oil change and something that's a little different than car reviews!
Here's a good tip: always make sure that the gasket from the old oil filter is not stuck on the car. A few years ago, a dealership changed the oil in my car, but apparently the old oil filter's gasket was stuck on and it ended up being double-gasketed. The next day, I was driving along and started hearing noise from the engine. Right after that, I noticed my oil pressure light was starting to blink pretty fast. As soon as I pulled over and popped the hood, I found oil dripping and all over the place. Had it towed and they fixed the problem. I'm glad they gave me a loaner, but I was not happy that they screwed up.
Great video Matt. Very well explained. Never changed my own oil. This video gives me confidence to change my own. Well edited. Look forward to more videos like this. Keep it up Stew :))
its is amazing... recommended by many auto makers and exceeds expectations
Not sure if I remember you mentioning it, but pulling dip stick out slightly + removing oil fill cap before draining helps it flow out faster. Another tip before you do any of that is let it run about 5-7 mins to oil gets warm which also helps drain oil plus old residual oil.
Best video on how to change your own oil!!
hey matt wanted to give you a tip: When pouring in the new oil make sure you dont let it pour in lumps because that can cause problems later on, instead turn the bottle to the side and let it pour nice and smooth.
the guy makes the whole oil change process more difficult than it is
Dude, I totally LOVE the color of your car, it's so awesome.
If it calls for 5.7, you can dump in the whole 6 qt. That's what I do, mine calls for 4.7 so I dump in the whole 5. Makes it so I don't have an almost empty bottle with .3 qt laying around. Been doing it for years, doesn't hurt anything.
After adding the new oil and filling to specification, always start the car up first then move it to level ground before checking the dipstick. Fords usually take a while to level out so it might be best to wait several minutes before you get an accurate reading on the dipstick. Plus make sure you have a gasket on your drain plug or replace it depending on the condition before putting the plug back in. Other than that you'll find its saves a lot of money to do a synthetic oil change yourself. $30 vs. what seems to be the standard $55 price of many shops and dealerships.
Good job for your first time. Pennzoil Platinum is a good oil. If you use any high quality synthetic, your engine will last a long time. Lately I've been using PP or Mobil 1, good price and you can buy them just about anywhere.
Great video as always. I've already stuck my head in the oil drain pan. That was sure fun!!! Keep up the great work.
Somethings I agree with were previously said: 1) Load new filter with clean oil and Lubricate seal. Usually they say 1/4 turn or so past hand tight. Before tightening Look and make sure the gasket from the old oil filter came off. When checking oil level check it on a level surface. Latex gloves help keep clean.
you should run the car till its hot first then drain the oil so the oil is thinner and drains faster and always change your drain plug other wise good informative vid good job for a first time knowing the correct way to do it as hand tight filter and little bit of oil on the seal helps the seal stay sealed but you should check the oil when the car is flat
Very awesome and thorough video on how to oil change in general and especially on how to oil change a 2015 mustang ecoboost. Gots to give the thumbs to ford also for making oil change on a 2015 mustang ecoboost so simple.
Thanks for the video! Helped me a lot!
Good job Matt! 👍
Hey my man a few tips for your self went changing your oil next time you should where plastic gloves and also put a plastic bag under your oil filter and that will help you 💯 percent to avoid oil spell on you or the floor for sure 👍, love the video and always keep it 💯 kid !!!
Gloves will help keep your hands clean and if you do decide to run it before hand, it will help if the oil is still warm.
"Shoots way further than what I was expecting"
Thats what she said!
I would check the oil level after you run the engine for a few minutes in addition to checking it before you run it just to make sure after the oil gets circulating around its still at a good level.
you can wrap rubber bands around the filter for grip too if you don't want to go out and buy a wrench :p
IDK why people are giving you crap about the oil choice. PP is a really good oil and it's not very expensive.
Compared to the stock motorcraft semi synth in my Fiesta ST, PP made my car idle much smoother.
Just a tip though, check your oil when your car is on level ground after it has sat a while. Better to be on the safe side.
Get that valve man and it won't spray everywhere ;)
Thanks for the tip! I did check it afterwards, just didn't show it on video.
Thanks for the video. About to do this myself for the first time.
Awesome video Matt
"First, jack up your car." -Moog
Handy tip for keeping your hands clean, put pressure on the drain plug as you pull it out keeping it sealed via the threads, until it is fully loose, then quickly pull it off. I do it every time, and I usually end up with almost no oil on my hands.
Great vid, I remember my first oil change, I hate doing it. I just let my friends shop change my car's oil.
Cool vid, tip for the future, check the oil level flat ground. When your car is on the ramps you won't get an accurate reading on the dip stick the oil will be based towards the back side of the oil pan.
Considering the angle of his driveway, I'd be willing to guess that his Mustang was more level while on those ramps. IDK
+Tat2Dragons Yeha you could be right. the driveway definitely makes the bias less severe. Good call.
+T-WRX Thanks.
I believe him when he says he has never changed oil before. Probably only did it himself so he could endorse Pennzoil in the video.
PUBLIC NOTICE please start your vehicle and let oil run through system and oil filter for like 20 seconds. recheck the oil level it goes down. Adjust if required. Other than that Matt did excellent 👍
Good info. I did check again twice after it ran, just didn't film it.
Good stuff mate. I once had a filter on so tight and those boys at the shop tighten em hard hey😵
Overall good video but some extra steps Matt forgot for people who are planning to change their oil:
- Prefill your oil filter (if it is the type used in this video). Also, no need to snug the filter up with a tool, just do it by hand because the filter will tighten itself over time.
- To avoid leaks, replace your drain plug crush washer.
- Use gloves, oil can cause cancer
Great video Matt. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
nice, haven't had to change my oil in awhileee, but I just used the last of my free service visits on my legacy and they robbed me when I went in so this was a good refresher, def gonna be doing it myself next time. Also, that SS looks real good sitting in the driveway next to the stang, that should be your family car my dude
I had an oil pan like that and ended up buying a different one because of the size of the opening. I got a different one that has a shallow catch pan, but much bigger in area, that drains into an area below. Walmart sells them for around $10.00. MUCH cleaner for the driveway.
Very descriptive and clear! Great video!
Since the filter is installed upright, you should fill the new filter with fresh oil before installing it. That way, the engine won't be starved of oil on startup as long as it would with an empty filter.
I remember watching this video. Funny how it showed up in my reccomended 4 years later
you're suppose to check the oil level after you start your car. I use to work at pennzoil when i was young.
Hey i have a question. If you change your oil with your respective kilometer you should change your oil filter too??
With any sort of screw, you want to go counterclockwise first, then go clockwise. This will ensure you are never cross thread anything.
I've been changing oil since I was 14..
I used to change the oil in my 86 Camry, it was a piece of cake, the filter was right at the top of the motor, the drain pan was facing forward within easy reach from the front. Most of these new cars are not nearly as easy.
man that oil was way too black I don't think your dealership is doing a good job
Matt drives a lot
+MrRussian2023 Oil turns black after a few thousand miles...
He needs to get his oil changed more often or switch to a better brand. It looked like diesel oil lol.
Bobby0345 You've clearly never seen used oil then.
I just changed the oil on my GF's ecoStang for the first time last week. I have to say that it was the absolute easiest oil change I've ever done. Ford finally put an oil filter in a place you can grab it and remove it without slobbering oil all over. I've had over 10 different cars and trucks in my family and this by far was the easiest. BTW, my oil plug wasn't as tight as Suburuwrxfan's. So, I'm guessing the service tech that changed his oil previously, must have over tightened it quite a bit. BTW even if you hand tighten an oil filter it will be significantly tighter when you try to remove it. The rubber gasket expands and creates more resistance. Also, on the Ecoboost Mustang, if you put the spec oil capacity of 5.7qts, it will NOT measure to the top hashmark of the dipstick. The oil filter will absorb some. The owner's manual will tell you not to ad oil between oil changes unless the level on the dipstick is down to the "ADD" hashmark. I filled it up to the top hashmark anyway just because I hate having a partial quart of oil sitting around the garage. Just don't over fill (common info here, I know). Good video!
Then don't read it if you're too ADD about it. :)
You started it... And now you are getting all butt hurt and lippy by me responding to you?
To TheXenon: Seriously, you really need to get a hobby or something. You are obviously not happy with yourself and need to insult others in a futile attempt to feel better about yourself. I'll pray for you even though I'm not really the praying type... ;)
BTW, TheXenon, why do you hide your comments? I will assume that you are ashamed of your statements. And you should be...
To TheXenon... I don't know when you hid your comments. I do know that they do not show up in the comment section. So, one of two things could have happened. Either you hid your comments, or TH-cam hid your comments.
Can you point me to the right tool for the oil filter removal? Can't seem to find the one you are using in the video that attaches so a socket wrench.
Very cool video man, you should keep doing simple diy vids going forward!
PENETRATING OIL!! try some WD-40 next time. just spray onto where the bolt meets the oil pan and let it soak a few minutes. this can usually work wonders!
:) thanks for the video man, keep up the good work!!!!
Cheers.
i would use a jack when you use the ramps just as a safety precaution
nice video. don't forget about tire rotation dude.
My dad would leave it draining overnight to get every bit of oil out. It carried on to me.
what's the size of that black oil wrench you used to remove the oil filter? I have a 2018 Mustang Ecoboost. I think they use the same size oil filter.
Please do a fuel filter change!!
Love that mustang
And I love Mclaren
+ThatOtherCarExpert true I love the mclaren p1 its my all time favorite car
you should put the car on level ground before checking the dipstick for more accurate readings
You check the oil after you start it too because the oil could drain down.
This is not all wrong, but a lot could have been done better:
1) When taking the oil filter off, the drain plug should not be put on since upwards of 200ml of oil (or more) can flow out of the drain plug after the filter has been screwed of the engine.
2) Wearing gloves would be a good idea since oil, especially used motor oil can be dangerous for your skin.
3) A good idea would be to take of your oil filler cap off, which results in a better flow.
4) If your oil filter is places upside down, then fill it half full of oil so the engine will have oil immediately after startup.
5) If you have your on jack stands, then lower it down while draining the oil (without turning the engine oil) so you can get all of your oil out.
But otherwise fine "how to" video!
Dat SS doe
That's what I thought it was too this dude drives a mustang but has a beast SS tf lol
+James T The SS is his press car for the week. He'll upload a review of it later on.
Looks like total shit!
^^Bet it will smoke whatever car you drive though
When should u do the first oil change ?
S E L L O U T B O Y Z
You don't need to let your engine drain for half an hour. A couple of minutes will be fine. As long as you're changing the oil frequently enough with modern oils the detergents will suspend the residual oil.
So you didn't check level after starting? You should check oil level after checking level and then top off.
Hmm, this video seems remarkably familiar to me... Lol. Great video! 👍🏻
Haha thanks man! I appreciated the tips when I texted you too!
No problem! If you still lived down the street, I would've swung by! Lol.
