A tip I learned the hard way. When you put the small O-ring on, put the new filter on first. This limits any side pressure you may put on the shaft while struggling to get the new small O ring on. I didnt and snapped off the shaft from where it mounts inside the cover. Took a day of driving all over Minnesota to find a dealer that had another one. Good luck all!

[@ryanbowden9904]

Good tip. I was worried that I would snap it. 😅

[@justinthathamkulam3002]

Thank you for that tip. May Jesus bless you

[@richardkenworthy9312]

I use a pair of snap ring pliers ,put the ring on them then squeeze the handles.

[@seanbomar2481]

Try rolling the small o-ring over a 6mm 1/4’ drive socket then over the tip

[@hientruong4074]

Those engineers must’ve been smoking some really good stuff when coming up with the filter and plug.

[@buddyjackson7501]

I can guarantee the engineer who designed that oil plug had his wife step out with a mechanic

[@JustinLaNoue]

Hey it’s the dieseliest EcoBoost there is with the CGI block lol. I know it’s a baby truck, but those 2.7L are fun engines.

[@kdorfner]

After a couple of bad experiences at my dealer in DeLand, Fl. it’s time to start changing my own oil. Great video.

[@dereks8786]

Thanks for the video! Never realized how easy it was to change oil at home. Definitely going to start doing it myself.

[@scottleppard3290]

This is far the best video I've seen on oil change on the 2.7 Ecoboost F-150. Thanks.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

[@md1120]

Love the channel, you do great work. Wish there was someone like you where I'm at. Every time my F350 been for recalls or warranty they've trashed other parts when getting to the recalled parts. It's unbelievable. Keep up the good work!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thanks pal!

[@frootloops1655]

Changed mine today. Removed 3 of the air dam 8 mm screws (left the starboard rear one and swing the air dam over to the starboard side out of the way). Replace all 3 oil filter oil rings: used screwdriver to stretch the little one off. Put new small O ring on needle nose pliers and OPENED the pliers to stretch it out, got it right on. Sucked oil out through the dipstick hole with a pump, but....then pulled drain plug and 2-3 qts still gushed out. Probably a bit less gushing/cleaner than letting all 6 qt gush out. Decided i won't be able to just use the Harbor Freight oil pump to pump the oil out. Add full 5 qt jug of Full Synthetic and drove off ramps. Will slowly top off to 6ish qt tomorrow.

[@OutdoorCanadians]

Bro what

[@3374jj]

Gotta keep the 1st responder responding... Great job bro

[@ronwalters8286]

Thanks for the video buddy! I'll be doing my 3rd oil change tomorrow on my 2018 2.7 ecoboost, 15K miles, just like the one in the video. I'm an old guy so I like to refresh my memory before doing it again. Getting the right size sockets from the start etc. Since you asked, I use motorcraft filter and 5W-30 oil just as you did. Sometimes it's actually the cheapest oil on the shelf at walmart also. Hopefully an oil change will be the deepest I'll ever have to dive into this truck for the rest of my life. I traded in a F150 5.0 L cause I didn't like how much throttle I had to apply when merging on the interstate and long inclines while pulling about 6K lbs. of camper and cargo. This little engine and 10 speed tranny is sweeeet....hell, I dont even put my hamburger down cause I need to focus on the truck...turn up the tunes, eat a french fry and cruise with confidence! :)

[@dangunn6961]

I use a piece of single strand coated copper wire to get under those o rings. I bend the end of the wire and work it under the o ring then pull the wire through and pull the o ring up and off. Some people use a plastic dental pic to get the o rings off. Or a metal curved mechanics pic. Also I only remove 3 of those under engine cover bolts. I just loosen the drivers side rear bolt then rotate the cover out of my way. It makes it easier to put it back on. Good video.

[@CCscott]

Excellent video! Good angles and narration. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@uacmarine19]

Thanks for this useful “how to”. Greatly appreciate it! 👍🏻

[@johnmicalizzi126]

The top o ring is perfectly fine I wouldn't bother replacing !

[@zman5544]

On that small O ring I’ve found a pair of needle nose pliers used in reverse to spread it open works best.

[@camberwellcarrot420]

A guy commented on another video that he uses snap ring pliers to put that mini o-ring on. Will be trying that

[@otcgarage4974]

great video.. straight to the point!

[@robertclymer6948]

Good Video Brother! My 2015 2.7 has 5w20 on filler cap, but I use 5w30 synthetic blend. Also, one thing I have learned over the years is stay with what the MFG says to use in your engine or trans! It is formulated by Mfg for your specific application, period!

[@tundradude4894]

Oil filter yes,Mobil 1 synthetic is just as good if not better than Motorcraft

[@nordicpride9708]

Manufactures don’t formulate oil, they just require a set specification to be met. Motorcraft is a decent oil. However I prefer full synthetics of the proper grade. When it comes to transmission fluid def stick to OEM in these newer vehicles for long service life 👍🏻

[@mikepalmer8051]

Great vid boys. Thanks!

[@rdsii64]

I wonder how many places don't bother to change the "O" rings?

[@Farmerdan_1]

Nothing but Schaeffer's full synthetic in my 6.7👌

[@alb12345672]

That small filter gasket is like the white teflon gasket for ford power steering fitting seals. There was a tool to install them.

[@howardlaunius7484]

That filter and drain plug design are two really jacked up ideas.

[@edgardovilla199]

I spent 1 1/2 hours looking for the oil filter!!!! Then I click on this video and it’s been in front of me the whole time!!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Lolololol

[@erichorne5454]

Buy a Ronin Oil Plug. Allows you to control the oil flow. I used them on all 3 of my 2019 f150's. Great Video!

[@dangunn6961]

I hold the drain plug against the hole and control the oil flow. Haven't messed up my new concrete so far.

[@peterthomas3882]

So glad my 6.7 doesn’t have the sway bar in the way.

[@winstonsmith3685]

That plastic oil plug is the most infuriating design. On my Bronco, it shoots oil out to the passenger side tire. To say I made a mess on the first change is an epic understatement.

[@tundradude4894]

Damn I thought the 5.7 Iforce Tundra oil change was a pita..this looks like fun🤓

[@BarnStangz]

I like oil change vids. Always interesting to see how they differ. I can recall how terrible it was to do the oil on my gen 2 5.7 Toyota Sequoia. Had to remove a skid plate that was sort of heavy and awkward. I'd like to know what your worst oil change is/was....? I like to use OEM oils or Mobil 1. In my big diesels I'll use T6 Rotella or Mobil Delvac. I've had good results with both. Key is to change often. I'm not a big believer in keeping oil in there for more than 3,500 miles. Oil is cheap, an engine is not. Thanks for the video pal, hope all is good in D land!

[@frankbodenschatz173]

Only thing I'd add is to use AMS, Castrol GT or Mobil1 Ex oil to reduce the carbon buildup in the 2015-17 motors.

[@howardriggins4010]

Awesome. Good video

[@Madskills810]

Just curious but along with the quarter turn drain plug is the oil pan made of plastic?

[@busared06]

Just did mine and installed the Rhonin oil plug. I'm sure the next oil change will be worth it. Though I gotta say, holding the factory plug in a bit to regulate the flow for a minute or two wasn't bad at all. Very easy.

[@personmanguy6084]

Thanks for the how to man!

[@dylangagnon5281]

A good way to put that small one on is with those snap ring pliers took me about 2 secs

[@user-vf4dt1kb3f]

Should have started the truck, waited for oil pressure to come up , then leak check filter and plug areas before installing cover. Good video....

[@JonDunnmusician]

Ford spec's the cartridge housing at 18 ft-lbs. Take care

[@bradanderson1024]

Thanks, nice job!

[@robstanley5083]

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I get many uses, i hate that lil guy

[@craigboisselle4128]

Good to know, but for 60 bucks I’ll get my oil changed tires swapped and full inspection, only problem is trusting the people doing the work

[@rogerd8121]

My 04 f250 super duty 6.0 I use the motor craft 10w30 and the ford oil filter always even the fuel filter is motorcraft

[@kurtrindgen4708]

That plug, if you loosen it up and leave it in the pan but pull it out a little, the oil will flow directly down. You have to hold the plug the whole time but it snot as messy for a DIYer.

[@JTPerformanceSynthetics]

Great video! Thanks for breaking it down. Yes that plastic drain plug and then that design of where the oil dumps out is frustrating. I bought the RONIN drain plug, sooo much better and cleaner to do my oil changes, no splashing anywhere. And as always I’m running AMSOIL Signature Series 100% synthetic! 🫡🤙🏽

[@Yomamafool]

Why did you spray the filter housing with brake clean? Genuine question

[@peterromano1911]

Hey ARod. I know 2.7 EB owners are pissed when we find out that the oil pump is driven by a belt. I found that the replacement oil pump, Part # FT4Z-6600-1A is a CHAIN driven pump. It even comes with the CHAIN !!

[@frankbrowning4160]

is that a Ford part or aftermarket?

[@johndavis5502]

I have a 2018 2.7, I have changed the oil at least 10 times. Removing the lower panel is the hard part. Could you please send over the guy that helped you.

[@user-pl2rs6ss2y]

Does it matter if we loosen the oil filter first or after regardless I’m waiting about 20-30min to drain

[@omarfue556]

The engineer that worked on the sway bar must not have talked with the engineer that worked on the oil pan.

[@xforce687]

If you like checking your oil level afterwards for peace of mind, don't forget to let it sit at least 15 minutes after starting! I heard a horror story of someone putting 10 quarts in because it wouldn't mark on the dipstick.

[@meditationstation710]

you got different problems if you are actually putting 10 quarts of oil in a vehicle that clearly calls for 6 in the manual...

[@xforce687]

[@billross7078]

Because the shop where I work recycles our used oil, I don't recommend spraying the brake clean into the oil drain pan as it contaminates the oil to the point where we cant get it hauled off!

[@chrisvids1820]

Interesting that it calls for the blended oil. I assumed it was full synthetic

[@shaylittle1356]

oops forgot to change o rings not leaking good to go change them next time. run full synthetic change every five thousand do not trust dealer reccomendations kinda like why the engineers of ford approved of this plastic plugs and and plastic filter cover, great video liked it bunches

[@hernandez-perezandroid5983]

Do the oil filter O rings need to be change during every oil change? or can they be used a few times? I ask because since it is time consuming, I don't believe the dealer or quick lube will care to change these O rings.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I re use em

[@murphygaven1]

with the 2.7 having a oil pump belt instead of chain/gears do you recommend the motorcraft oil over any full synth type?

[@kerygonder331]

Will full synthetic hurt the belts in the oil pump. This is new to me. I guess I need to find out also before I try to tackle this.

[@danielmarjanovic9957]

Do you have to fill the filter cap with oil or just let the oil get to it after it’s changed?

[@kipawadave]

Thanks for the lesson. When I was younger I always did my own oil changes but it's be a few years and engines have changed. Albeit a simple thing to complete it is nice to know the new tricks. My truck has over a 100000 km now so I went with a 5/30 Castrol High mileage. My understanding is that it is 50/50 oil and synthetic. It is nice to hear from you that OEM was a mix as well. 1 question though if you could. The winters were I live now hit -60F and a balmy day is -15-20F. If I run an oil pan heater, can I stay at 5/30 or should I go with a 0/30? Thanks again for the lesson, it is a good video.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Both will be juss fine

[@joshuabrown4828]

Quick question. I have a 2016 2.7 ecoboost F150. The other day I checked the oil after the truck sat for about 15 to 20 mins on level ground. The oil was just below the first hole on the dip stick. So I added oil to it and checked the dip stick again in the morning. Now the oil level is slightly above the second hole on the dip stick...is it okay if the oil level is a little above the second hole? Anything to be concerned about?
