Let's see those comments below! How did my brother do? Any other tips I missed?

[@kaydewhipple7696]

With these new oils they say they are "cross compatible " but they take alot of the wear package out these old engines need ...it would probably smooth out your engine to add some ZDDP to your oil change . Lucas makes a zinc additive that I run in all my older engines and it adds a little protection to your tappets and cam....other than that excellent job

[@Camcodrummer]

I would add when filling the jugs with the old oil. Put the jug in a 5 gallon bucket..helps hold the funnel and jug and contain spills.

[@decentgarage]

Dang this is genius! Thanks!

[@Camcodrummer]

@@decentgarage you got a great channel. I really enjoy it.

[@decentgarage]

@@Camcodrummer thank you!

[@salstonightsbiggestloser]

If any of you do your own oil, consider adding a Fumoto valve in place of the oil pan bolt. Makes changing oil a nicer experience. They have a fel-pro type gasket too. Thanks for you video, Decent Oil change! 👍

[@decentgarage]

Yep thats one i run on the OG crew cab and I'll be getting one for PB

[@brianhind6149]

A 4X4 Dodge Ram with no front driveshaft !! Great tutorial for those who are not familiar with oil changes. I am not making a criticism , just mentioning that it is usually good practice to start the drain plug by hand rather than with a socket & ratchet to avoid cross threading the pan boss or the plug threads. Regarding the oil...any oil that carries the API seal is just fine for normal use.

[@decentgarage]

It's got the front driveshaft, I just need to install it 🤣

[@hoytwaldrop8961]

I was thinking the same thing, and unscrew by hand when taking it out so the ratchet isn’t dr e niched in oil. Good video though.

[@SkyR620]

Thanks so much for these "common man" videos. It helps a great deal to see someone who is NOT a mechanic perform these tasks with ease. The only suggestion I might make is to change the drain plug to a drain valve. Makes it even easier!!

[@decentgarage]

Yeah I'll be ordering one for the next time. That's what I have on the OG

[@swiftxb]

Another great how to video. You guys rock!!! Thanks, for everything you do the diesel community. 👍

[@decentgarage]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Bleach-L28]

Great job Tim. Good too see someone passing along knowledge.!

[@decentgarage]

Thanks!

[@XxOverLoad93xX]

Oil filter, if you can’t get a wrench on it use sandpaper for extra bite. Also put the drain plug in by hand ive cross threaded one before with a ratchet 😅. Great video

[@decentgarage]

Great advice. Thanks!

[@ebeegeebeefofeebee3181]

Oh oh! Double trouble. Good instructions. Good job.

[@decentgarage]

Thanks!

[@Desperado1995]

one of these EZ-DP-22MMPL-DG and one of these EZ-TUBE-DG from Geno's Garage will make your oil change a lot less messy, great videos, keep them coming.

[@decentgarage]

Yep I've got one on my other truck and ordered one for this video but they were backordered. I love them!

[@Desperado1995]

@@decentgarage The hardest part of me is keeping track of the drain tube. I have lost 2 of them now and have to order another for the next change.

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Nice job Tim.

[@decentgarage]

Thanks Robert!

[@johnfelton4230]

Another great video! Your Brother did fantastic! Perhaps you might include him in other videos, especially if you need a helping hand with any projects that need more than one person. One tip I use when changing the oil in my truck is to take a Sharpie pen and write the mileage and date on the filter itself. I usually write it on a couple of locations as I can never figure out where the filter face will end up when it is fully tightened. It is up to you as to whether you write the mileage and date of the actual change or the mileage and date of your next change. Either way it helps me to keep track of the interval instead of writing it on a window sticker or somewhere I might lose it. I have also seen this practice done on differential housings when fluids are changed there as well.

[@decentgarage]

That's a great tip!

[@randyluna4905]

Fantastic job. I will say I despise who came up with the silver aluminum type material that seals new oil in. I get the importance and why it’s needed but dang. Can we get something that comes off in one piece? 😂

[@mutantryeff]

Check out the DONALDSON BLUE DBL7349 OIL FILTER as it is rated at 15 micron. Not cheap. Given that it is 100F most of the year for me, I run Chevron Delo 40W instead of 15W/40. A five gallon container of Delo 40W the last time I bought it was ~$87 (probably going to be higher for next oil change in a month+). No real issues at 110F+ or 17F (other than using block heater which also warms the oil for start-up). Add-on gauges for oil temp and psi. May not be the best oil choice, haven't had any issues for a 28 year old truck.

[@decentgarage]

Thanks for the input! That good to know

[@samcssolutions]

Tell him not to clean his hands, I am on my way over to have him change the oil on my truck. Nice looking ratchet used on the drain plug.

[@decentgarage]

Lol, he used half my jug of gojo! 😅

[@paulweber6963]

How often do you grease the front end and drive shafts? I generally do that at the same time I'm changing oil.

[@decentgarage]

I don't do it often enough. I usually do it every few years but i also don't daily this truck anymore

[@brianbuell8464]

Great content Tim and always good to see you bring in the fam. Quick question, did you ever find a better pillar gauge housing?

[@decentgarage]

Shoot! I meant to show that in this video. I actually got that pod to work really well with the help of another subscriber. I'll show it in the next video

[@brianbuell8464]

@@decentgarage awesome! I'm just about ready to do it to mine so I will look forward to checking that out! Have you done a visor shelf on any of your rigs? Apparently it's easy using existing visor holes. Might be something I tackle over the winter. Cheers brother!

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

@@brianbuell8464 I've got the shelf in my 93. Love it very handy having that up there. With this would let us post pictures

[@brianbuell8464]

@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead rock on! I am putting one in my 90 at some point. Maybe a winter project

[@brianbuell8464]

@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead also here it a great spot to mount aftermarket gauges!

[@darrylmonat5361]

Put a plastic bag over filter to catch the oil. I use a 1 gallon storage bag. No mess.

[@decentgarage]

That's a great idea! I'm going to add this to my routine

[@williamwalker9504]

You did a good job telling people how to visualize the way to turn the filter on or off, but I have an easier way to explain it. Looking at it like a clock, clockwise = right, counterclockwise =left. If you turn the bolt, nut, screw, or filter right, it moves away from you. If you turn it left, it comes towards you. The saying is: Right away, or Left up to me. This works great on right hand threads, not so much on left hand threads. That’s easier than visualizing being behind what you are screwing on or off.

[@decentgarage]

Great tip as well

[@JesusRuiz-gi1xy]

Exelent video very good decent

[@decentgarage]

Thanks!

[@brycemanuel4205]

Jim looks like Tim would of looked like in high school

[@decentgarage]

😅

[@gusocon319]

No front drive shaft ? Your brother did fine.

[@decentgarage]

I've got it in the garage. Just need to put it on.

[@gusocon319]

Tim, when you put the front drive shaft back on, please teach us the proper way to put the U-joints back on drive line and the part numbers, I like to know if the rear drive shaft has the same U-joints . You are the perfect teacher .

[@rickbrown7067]

OReilleys will dispose your nasty filter also! No need to put it in the dump!

[@decentgarage]

Oh dang! I had no idea. Thanks for the info!
