Engineering, manufacturing, management assembly, people are required to primarily follow money-changers', politicians, bureaucrats, ...agendas. To assure ....? Why.....? This video is a tiny example. 🎉🎉🎉

Someone told me it's there so it spreads out the oil, you can see all the metal shavings..

F-150 have some problem to)

You forgot to talk about the oil filter. That's in a worst spot.

Instead of complaining you could’ve put some plastic down, or whatever to guide the oil away from that bar

that sway bar is essential there. its to direct the flow of draining oil to a convenient location. why have it drain 1.5' away when you have a sway bar to have it easily flow 2 inches away from the pan??

Oil looks surprisingly clean

Ford does it too

Because the engine was designed for some other car.

yes but the counter party is all carters are the same and on another car the oil go out without touching nothing and the day you need one oil carter you can take it in a car with the same engine

Thank God for Coanda effect

Oil filter location is even worse

Amen! Every vehicles has some of this

Boys theres an easier solution here. Just stand it up on the front bumper

it's really a not a big problem, you didn't spill anything on a floor)

That one spot will never rust.

You lost the thumb competition 😂

Moving a sway bar 1/2" is not a trivial design change. If this oil change mess is a known issue then prepare for it. There's plenty of access space to do this without a mess. The mess wasn't that bad. Just something to moan about is the take away from this video.

Obviously that bar is there to creature that beautiful laminar flow.

Hello ! Do not update this $600 diagnostic device if you have downloaded all the new things. If you update this device now, it will happen that you can no longer look and check certain things when doing diagnostics on the car! This has happened to many people. I, for example, do not see ABS and ABG systems on my Hyndai Getz car after the update!

Oil filter isnt any better i have a 2015 ram such a pain in the ass

Show the oil filter 😂

I bought a cheap tool cart on Amazon with no latches. I glued a magnet to the inside of the cart and it keeps the drawer closed

I'm familiar with Chrysler engineering. Had a 96 Grand Cherokee with the V-8 , oil filter is directly above the starter ! 🤔 So unless you shield the starter you end up with a giant mess ! I would cuss every time I had to do an oil/ filter change. 🤬

Chrysler thought it was a good idea to have rubber fill plugs on their differentials and let water get in

Don't even get him started on the oil filter above the steering rack...

Which RAM? 1500, 2500, 3500?

Remember man engineer will walk past 10 virgins to f*** a technician..

"Not my problem." -engineer.

They could have put the drain plug coming out of the bottom instead of the back of the pan that would have put the oil pouring straight down instead of out at a 45° angle like it is

Dodge or ram that option into something. Whatever you do. Don’t buy it.

Well they didn't know some crybaby oil change guy at Jiffy Lube was gonna cry ! 😢

The answer to your question is pretty simple and is because engineers hate mechanics ...😂

I'm thinking you could put the drain plug on the bottom. That would probably be an easier solution. But I bet the issue was the only wanted to make one oil pan

If it looks like shit. Smells like shit. Its a chrysler

Use a funnel bruh

Frame reinforcement on Cummins right where the filter comes out

It’s to save on rustprotection. Id say it’s fairly smart.

Marketing groups not allow engineers to do it right because it will cost more moneys. So suck it up and stops blaming ENGINEERS

American car engineering in a nutshell

And I love the Chevrolet GMT 400 at least the two-wheel drive because you have to take the transmission support crossmember out to change the transmission fluid cuz you can't get the pan off and you want to talked about a bad design for the record I actually like most Chevys and Dodges and most Fords but I absolutely hate the way Chevy did the crossmember on those trucks

F@#&ing whitecoats!!!!!!!

Dodge engineering 👍self oiling sway bar👍

Amen

Wait until you work on range rovers 😅

Engineers should be taught how to create things with maintenance in mind.

Doesn't really matter though

They could also have put the plug somewhere else

They could of put the drain plug at the bottom

It keeps the bar from getting rusty or squeaky!
