If you have the room/height under the truck, a 5 gallon bucket works great to catch and transport used oil in.

[@GRAZINGARIZONA]

@ Nick A thought. Might be possible to drain into the big pan, put small pan under the big pan drain tube thingy so it will overflow from big pan into small pan.

[@FixItNick]

That’s a bit to much lol might get messier

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

@@FixItNick no mess at all. It would flow naturally.

[@davidfrank2824]

I know this is my second comment on the same video the first one was more of a tip. You made me laugh when you talked about forgetting to put oil in the filter. On one of the other automotive KZbin channels the host and the people watching started back and forth that went on forever. I would say it was a 50/50 split on putting oil in the filter before installing it. I've been doing my own oil changes on everything I own. That includes all my boats and motorcycles and yard equipment when filter is needed. I personally never put oil in the filter. I tried once and it made a mess of my driveway. What I normally do is pull a fuse and crank the engine while watching the oil gauge. Once I have pressure I put the fuse back in and start the car or truck or whatever I'm working on. That drain plug that you showed has been around as long as I have. I really didn't know they still need those. I think before my next oil change on my truck or expedition I might just go ahead and switch up. Also I thought you live in California. Almost any series of your videos and I watch probably most of them it always is raining. I thought you guys were in a drought. -) I always make sure to give you a big old thumbs up and of course I have been a subscriber for a long time. Looking forward to watch you more.

[@dadlifelepoe4073]

Did this years ago! Probably the best thing I ever did! Never worry about changing the oil! So easy

[@FixItNick]

I agree!!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Draining your oil when engine is hot is always best because the oil flows better hot

[@FixItNick]

Yes that’s why I ran it for about 10 min before draining

[@1BlackSheep]

Start with your large drain pan under the drain with the neck on it open with the small pan under the neck if the big one won't hold it ,it will run out of the neck into the small pan. And FYI they make drain pans for diesel trucks that hold the large volume of oil that they hold.

[@calholli]

I use one of those little blue kiddie pools from walmart. About a 4ft or 5ft diameter. Works great for catching coolant too. You can't miss. After that I just pour into old oil bottles, because I always use it on something. And if someone asks me to "borrow some oil" because their car is low, I give them the old used junky oil and they're super happy about it, knowing that it's old. :)

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

That filter seemed to spin off pretty freely if you ask me.....a bit too loose for my comfort. Along with the other tips already given, if you are considering a fumoto valve for your truck, consider the version with the nipple to connect a 3/8' hose. That makes it super easy, draining right into your transport container and no need to use the drain pan.

[@hybridamericandude3575]

On Nick's recommendation, I've been using the drain plug for a year. I love it. Thanks for the tip Nick!

[@sixgun4906]

What I do on my 7.3 when I change the oil is take a screw diver I ground down to a paint, hit it with a hammer to make a hole for draining on the bottom of the filter, so the filter won’t be so top heavy when removing it works great. And I just might have to get me one of those valves now!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I agree wish oil filters had a drain plug they are so messy

[@FixItNick]

Yup

[@alanarmstrong2323]

Fyi take sharpie and write oil change date on side of new filter.

[@cebayne]

Alan Armstrong I use the notes app on my iPhone, keep records of all my vehicles, gets stored on iCloud so you’re always covered

[@FixItNick]

Good idea, or you can buy those blank window stickers. Or change filter every 5k miles and oil with filter every 10k. I just changed at 135,000 miles so at 140,000 I’ll do oil with filter and at 145,000 will do just filter and 150,000 oil with filter

[@alanarmstrong2323]

@@FixItNick everything is so expensive to do now anything that helps is a big deal love your truck.Very nice for hauling.

[@happypappy6371]

Why not write it in the service section of the manual in the glove box? Then you don't have to crawl under the truck to see when it needs done again.

[@Fordgroup00]

Happy Pappy 😂👍right!?!? Yeah, hard pass. I’ll just write it down in my note-book

[@dorin2042]

I drain my 7.3 in the same kind of big oil pans you have and it's perfect. It doesn't overflow. Also do yourself a favor and grab a couple of 5 gal buckets and lids to drain the old oil instead of using the jugs.

[@davidfrank2824]

Here's a little tip that might help you in the future. You're bigger oil pan I have had one for over 40 years. About 10 years back the screw cap that you train the pan from broke in half. I was devastated when it happened I love that oil pan. Looking at it and looking at one of the courts of oil I tried that cap on there and it fit perfect. I like seeing you use motorcraft oil filters. Since almost every car I have ever owned has been ford's that's all I use. And I only use their spark plugs and air filter unless I upgrade it to a k&n. I don't really stick with the name brand stuff for other things. There are some pieces that Ford has gotten it right and aftermarket just doesn't cut it. A friend of mine is an amsoil dealer and he gets a discount on oil filters. Since most of his cars and mine use the same oil filters we normally split the cost on a case of them. It's highly unlikely he or I would sell any of our ford anytime soon. I enjoy watching your videos look forward to watching more.

[@charlesrutherford4785]

This is old so you might already know this but the larger pan will hold all of the oil from the engine. Totally full, the pan is 13 quarts, the other 2 quarts is in the filter. I normally punch a hole in the filter and let it drain, then remove it and start draining the oil pan. I also cut the top of the oil catch pan out as it reduces the mess and I keep 5 gallon jerry cans around to put my used oil in and take to reclamation.

[@jamesthomson9065]

Next time take the pour cap off the big pan and it will fill the little pan as it gets full. Just place the little one under the pour spout of the big pan.

[@calholli]

By the way, oil filters do have a "drain plug" -- It's called a screwdriver. Punch a hole in the bottom of the filter and walk away for a minute and let it drain out first. Also, when you are putting the new and clean filter back on, pull your oily glove off and use your bare hand, and you won't get it covered in oil.

[@adriancampos4816]

Center punch bottom of filter to let oil drain. Then remove. That’s what I do.

[@Fordgroup00]

I’d of started with the big one and let it drain into the little one Why is your sway bar disconnected?

[@lancebessemer6501]

You should do an injection pump oil resivor tune too. Never really gets cycled out with a regular change. Woke mine up alot. Helps on conventional oil especially.

[@psd28]

injection pump on a 7.3??? anyways i know what you're saying and no this is entirely false. the HPOP is fed by the LPOP and so its always circulating.

[@frankfagundes2622]

What I use to do is get a screw driver and hammer and puncture a hole on the bottom or on the side

[@piperdoug428]

Best tech tip i ever got years ago.

[@FixItNick]

Yup I’ll try that, also screw driver can help loosen oil filter if to tight and don’t have a tool

[@frankfagundes2622]

You could even get a drill bit and a drill

[@Tahoe0512]

Punch a hole in the oil filter let oil drain then remove old oil filter. Put oil on rubber gusket, prefill new oil filter and put it on hand tight.

[@jgott1745]

Nick have you used that drain plug with the drain valve before? I’m sure it’s a long shot, but what are the chances of it opening in transit? And as a ton of people are saying, use a screwdriver and punch a hole in the filter. Seems to work well to drain it.

[@FixItNick]

The drain has no chance of opening because it has to be pushed in to unlock and then pushed all the way down to open the valve, it opens pretty tightly,

[@JP5150LBC]

There is a way... it happened to my F350 (2001) while i was offroading in the desert in southern California. I am sure it was a flock but i dumped all my oil. My oil pressure light came on. ALSO that thread stick up into the oil pan so you wont get a 100% oil change as you would with pulling the bolt

[@dondartt684]

Transfer oil into 5 Gal. with lid take to recyclable center that dumps into tank and you will get the bucket back for next time.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Well, I was gonna tell you to punch a hole in the filter to drain it but apparently, I am late to the party haha. I have the same drain valve on my truck and it is very nice. It does take a till bit longer to drain the oil but definitely worth it in my opinion.

[@FixItNick]

I’m not in a hurry when I change oil lol, but punching a hole is good idea

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

You could put the little pan under the opened nozzle of the large one and angle the large one with a 3/4 inch board or something and let gravity do it's thing.

[@FixItNick]

Yup

[@georgewalker7464]

Just a heads up, tap a hole in the bottom of the filer with a screw driver before u loosen it off

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

I always use the big one and have my smaller one under the drain of the big one. So as it fills up and over flows into the smaller one.

[@atv55803]

your lucky u have a oil pan left with no holes to protect that if u are in the rust belt i highly suggest coating it with the heavy duty series of JB WELD FROM THE UPPER EDGE WEAR IT STARTS TO CURVE DOWN TO THE REAR OF PAN UP BOTH SIDES IT WILL SAVE U AN NIGHTMARE OF ENGINE REMOVAL FOR THE REPAIR

[@Fred_Durst1]

Nick I drill a small hole in my filter before i remove it, if youre quick, it wont even drip on your drill.

[@XEGTDodgeMagnum]

That oil drain pan will hold all of the oil in your engine. I have one just like it. Yes That's what I do, punch a hole in the bottom of the oil filter. You forgot to suck the oil out of the reservoir, it's on top next to the fuel filter housing. You have to remove the plastic cover to get to the reservoir. Remove the plug with an Allen wrench. Something they can be a bear to get out, essentially if it's never been removed. It has an o-ring on it. I made a new plug for mine with a 9/16" head, I got tired of fighting the allenhead. It holds around a half quart. I use a brake vacuum pump but you can use a syringe with a small hose, It just takes a little longer. Make sure you refill the reservoir before putting the plug back in otherwise the engine won't pick up oil to build injector pressure and it will be hard to start. I always fill it with one quart. Make sure you put the filter and oil pan plug in first. Then it will hold 15 full quart's. I hope this helps you.

[@FixItNick]

Thanks for the tips, will punch joke next time, but no you dont need to suck oil out of oil pump reservoir

[@XEGTDodgeMagnum]

Yes that's true, you don't have to drain the oil reservoir, but getting as much dirty oil out is the motive. 👍 Did you ever check your up pipes for leaks?

[@larryeaton7384]

Don't forget to count the oil in your HPOP!! as much as 2 quarts in the top side of a 7.3. So figure on changing the oil in your HPOP! Total = 17-18 quarts. You have to love your 7.3 to know these things! A good truck is a good investment an worthy of knowing it inside and out! Obviously you love your dually! Looks a lot like mine on the outside.

Thx man, yea I drive around kept checking levels all is perfect

Now take that used oil, mix 50/50 with Diesel and spray it on your wooden stockade fence. This is a 100 plus year old farmer's trick to preserve your fence.

[@jbbatulis3513]

Negative I highly recommend siphoning that old oil out of HPOP plus run a little transfluid or diesel thru it. Plus when refilling HPOP it will overflow into filter so flush thru with clean oil before installing filter.

[@nelsonsturgeon7529]

Next time you change your oil filter. Take a long straight tip screw driver and hammer and Poke a hole in the side of your filter and let the old drain into your oil pan. Then no mess.

[@Superduty_59]

If you can spin off the oil filter by hand then it's too loose. Tighten by hand the 1/2 to 1 full turn with wrench. I use an old wood spade bit to drill a hole in the filter so it doesn't make a mess.

Just use a 5 gallon bucket as the drain pan. Thats what I do with mine.

Nah lol

Antes de colocar el filtro nuevo primero llenalo con aceite, nunca lo montes seco !!!!! estas poniendo aceite 5W 40....creo que es muy delgado para ese motor.....a no ser que estes en clima muy helado con temperaturas bajo cero.....

[@dirtytoxicdiesels4171]

I always use 15w40

[@FixItNick]

I’ll be doing another oil change in 4,000 miles I’ll see if I can find some good 15w40 in full synthetic, store I was at didn’t have anything thicker in full synthetic

[@dirtytoxicdiesels4171]

I also run Lucas oil stabilizer... makes the motor a lot more quite..

[@jimv3352]

5 gallon bucket fits under the truck and holds ALL of the oil

[@S_man89]

Don’t bother filling the filter. It’s harder to install and isn’t necessary. Also if it was a requirement it would be printed on the box. If I’m wrong and it is on the box I apologize. Peace boys.

[@FixItNick]

Yes I too think it’s sorta a myth, next time I’ll change oil filter I’ll just add 2 fresh quarts to engine

[@S_man89]

FixItNick I’ve always just added all 15 to the intake. Never had an issue. I will probably do another change here soon. My last change I put seafoam into the crank case to help clean the oil side of the fuel system, I’ll probably add it again for a second course. I don’t bother adding seafoam to the fuel because I run power service diesel kleen in it year round and add it in just about every tank.

Nail hole the oil filter and let it drain.

Man these things scare me plugs are fail safe this not so much. Also use a 5 gallon bucket to catch your oil....

[@FixItNick]

I’m actually really impressed with it so far, bucket would be a pain to drain into cans lol

[@joshuasteele5108]

@@FixItNick plumb a spigot near the bottom of the bucket. Then you can use some tubing and have a completely mess and funnel free way to refill your cans. Cheaper and easier than any oil drain pan. Provided you have the clearance to get the bucket in there.

[@fxnytroxtxFPP]

I think you forgot the hpop reservoir oil

[@FixItNick]

No that’s not needed

[@fxnytroxtxFPP]

@@FixItNick i always thought it needed to be done.

[@kieran8720]

Heavy debate. Most people don’t think it’s necessary. I would only do it in tucks that pull heavy or you’re speeding in a lot. And even then only every couple of oil changes. Mostly if anything to put anti stiction additive right into the hpop to lube up those injectors and circulate it into the rest of the fresh oil from the top end rather than hope the additive gets in through the bottom end. people debate how much/ the rate of oil flow that draws into the hpop. In theory if it’s flowing right and circulating regularly the change in oil top end wise would be mostly unnecessary.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

5 weight 40 viscosity

[@FixItNick]

It’s actually winter not weight I double checked just now, it’s how thin or thick the oil is during cold temperatures as in winter before engine is started

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@FixItNick my dad was s mechanic for 40 years it was 5weight 40 viscosity when he worked probably changed it in the last 5 to 10 years wouldn't suprise me Pluto is no longer a planet

Who sends there oil to a lab to get tested?

[@ericsmith2930]

I have an 01’ F250 with 152k on it. I bought it with 137k. I change my oil every 5k with rotella t6 and i send a sample to blackstone laboratories.

[@FixItNick]

People do, oil breaks down different in different trucks depending on abuse, sometimes you can get 10,000 out of oil and sometimes 3,000 from same oil depending on your work

[@pipeline_hank5277]

Are you really going to send an oil sample to see if you need an oil change? Just change it every 3k miles. Its a 20 year old truck you shouldn't be driving it longer than 3k miles before you change the oil.

[@FixItNick]

Depends on oils depends how hard you use the truck, it can be changed every 10-15k

[@pipeline_hank5277]

FixItNick 10-15k miles each oil change? Are you high? Not even brand new 6.7s go that far!

[@pipeline_hank5277]

FixItNick Say good by to you’re injectors because they’re going to burn up.
