2019 Ford Ranger First Oil Change How To

[@birdlegs846]

at 12:19 good point! I had a 01 ranger and the old filter seal stuck on the engine and I didn't notice, started the truck and oil poured out all over my garage floor. now I always check to make sure the seal is still on my old oil filter after I take the filter off.

[@davidklimmek3192]

Get the all new Ranger if you are a Ranger guy. You will love this truck! Great job Ford . We like our '19 XLT FX4 so much we are picking up a '20 Ranger Lariat FX4 this wk!

[@Nick-md2ro]

Same thing happened to me on my 2011 ranger when doing my own oil change

[@Crosley3251]

Check the oil level with the car on level ground to get a true reading.

[@siddithers6780]

its a lot easier to change the filter if you crank the wheels all the way to the right, also, you only have to remove the push pins from the lowest rear most part of the fender flap. The oil filter from the factory feels heavier as it's inside is saturated with engine oil

[@Crosley3251]

At the 11 minute mark he is comparing the weight of a used filter ,saturated with oil ,with that of a new filter with no oil in it . And I agree with Steven , I gave this a thumbs up . Even though he made several mistakes ,at least he tried to pass along useful info .

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

If you listen carefully... Used to used.... I have changed 100's of Motorcraft fl910.... The FoMoCo filters that come on the engine from factory feel heavier than a used motorcraft fl910... But i do need to think... Before i say stuff... Lol.. Thanks for watching and for the thumbs up!

[@JOHNXX1975]

I'd guess the factory filter is heavier because of the metal particles that collects from breaking in.

[@jefftalbot8371]

Thanks. Read your manual, check oil after engine has been sitting after a minimum of 15 minutes it states. Also drain time is 15 minutes but suggested 30 minutes. Takes time to drain. Plus Ford adds 1 additional quart of break in oil, so you lost one quart in 3,000 miles, which is normal. Send a oil sample to Blackstone Laboratories after 3rd oil change. Spend the extra $10 for TBN and TAN analysis. You will be shocked how much oil life you had left in that baby at 3,000 miles. I used to change my oil every 3,000 miles and would change new vehicle oil after approximately 500 miles. Not today, the oils are superior to what was available 20 years ago. If the engine is running perfectly you could stretch oil change interval to 5,000 miles easily and do no harm to the engine. At 5,000 miles you still have 50% TBN left on clock, which neutralizes acid. Today, I use the oil wear monitor and change at 6,500 miles on my 2.7L F-150. My wife just purchased 2021 Ranger, only has 500 miles on clock. Nice video. Peace

[@davidklimmek3192]

Nice video! Love my -'19 Ranger XLT FX4 crew cab. Had it 18mos /15k mis & it's been flawless. Incredible powertrain. Sporty , smooth ride. Suspension & ride/handling far superior to Tacoma. Did my 1st oil change @900mis. Use Penn Ultra Platinum 5w30 oil / Motorcraft filters only .

Thanks for the video and saving me time hunting for the oil filter. Just picked up a 21 ranger fx4 lariat black with the blackout package

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Your welcome! Those black on black ranger look really good! Thanks for watching!

[@hughwynn6193]

To properly check the oil level, you should have waited at least 5 minutes after the engine has been stopped before checking the oil level. Also, prior to prying off the wheel opening molding rivets, you should have used a screw driver to unscrew the plastic screw unless you don't want to reuse them. Those rivets cost about $4 each.

[@daveparsons149]

@@daveparsons149 I think you can get the exact replacements at the Ford Dealer Parts Dept., or perhaps on Amazon, made in China or somewhere like that too..

[@TheNipSnipper]

PSA if you're doing the first oil change on a brand new car... That filter will 99% of the time be both dry gasketted, and way over tightened. Don't do that when you put the new filter on. Always lube the new gasket, and just give it a good tighten. When the car runs for 3k or however many miles, it will get a lot tighter. You don't want to have to shove a screwdriver through it to get it off...

[@JimLongCO]

I got faked out with oil filter drain trough too.

[@manstersr]

TIP: press accelerator pedal to the floor and crank it for 15 sec. twice and it will not start but it will fill the filter with oil. That protects the turbo from damage and the rest of the engine because you aren't starting it with a dry filter.

[@BurnedAura68]

😂😂 Wtf lmao

[@tomsimmonds9598]

AHAHHAHAHAHHA NOT

[@frandanco6289]

Or how about putting oil into the filter to the top, let it soak into the media and it will be almost empty, then add more oil, say, halfway, let it soak into the media, and then install the filter??? Do it all the time, never an issue with a dry start..

[@MikeR55]

@@frandanco6289 I've always done that too. Never start the engine with a dry filter. It's just common sense.

[@johnsimpson233]

I have a 2019 ranger. Instead of draining the oil, I use a suction system that works off my air compressor You put the hose down the oil check tube start your air compressor and wait until all the oil is in the container. Amazon sells them.

Thats crazy... I have heard of oil change shop using them to change oil. Do you have a link?

Hello, just got my new Ranger. Is 1,000 miles to early to do first/break in oil change? I was going to first change at 1,000 then every 5,000 miles after that. Very helpful video, tks.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I think 1000 miles is a good time to change it. No harm in having clean oil!

[@alextran8188]

Not to early. Ford says the break in period is around 1k for the ranger. Also I would go by the oil life monitor. The oil life monitor in these new Ford's base the oil life on driving conditions, so its pretty accurate

[@frandanco6289]

@@alextran8188 Never go by a computer to tell you when to change your oil.. Look at mileage, check the level a lot, look at the color of it, smell it to make sure it doesn't have gas in it...No stupid computer is ever going to be able to do that.

I know this video is 2 years old but I just got a new '22 Ranger xlt. With a 10sp transmission, it sure does shift alot. ALOT. Like its constantly shifting, maybe more so for me since I live in the mountains. Any word on these transmissions having problems or failing often? I dont know what would have been wrong with just using a normal 5 or 6 speed trans in these things. Other than the busy trans, I like the truck.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I haven't heard of any 10 speeds failing. I do work for A Ford dealer. Never seen one out on any of the models they put them in. Yes they are busy transmission. After a while if driving it will learn more about your driving habits and adjust for that.

[@Justin-hz8bh]

@@TheWiscoGuyz Thanks for the reply man. With 2300 miles, it has calmed down a bit already. Since you work for Ford, I can ask you about this windshield recall. Is that something the dealer will do or will they just call in Safelight to do it? (there's a recall for the windshield adhesive but I'm hesitant to get it done since everything is fine with my windshield.)

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

@@Justin-hz8bh so it's a joint effort between the ford bodyshop and the glass company Once the glass company cuts the glass out the shop needs to prep the surface on the windshield frame opening and then put primer in that area and then the glass company reseals the windshield into the windshield opening frame to reseal. The recall is for some builds with windshields that may come loose because of poor adhesion. Actually just did one yesterday on a Ranger.

[@sanshin9]

I recommend removing the skid plate to drain and getting a tool to turn that oil filter. It'll save you so much time and frustration. With the right tool and method it's not that hard.

@@TheWiscoGuyz I've been using both Amsoil oil and filters for a long long time. It's 100% Synthetic, not a blend, or partial Synthetic. Car manufacturers don't own oil refineries or make filters. They contract it out to the highest bidder.

[@vhockada]

Am I wrong or did he not need to remove those skid plates underneath?

[@frandanco6289]

No, you need to slide out the skid plate to get better access to the drain plug And so the oil will drain down and not all over the skid plate underneath making a huge mess to clean up off the inside of the skid plate, which you will now have to remove, to clean up all the oil that fell inside it... Think about it..

I find that if you use a torque wrench and if it's not 100 percent dialed in, you can really mess things up. I snapped a bolt on housing for my mass airflow sensor because I followed the torque specs. I never followed them again since that time because you never know the accuracy of your torque wrench and if it is off even 5 percent , you're kind of fucked. So on the sensitive parts which you REALLY can't afford to strip, I'd go by FEEL rather than specs. Just my personal preference after 41 years of doing my own oil changes. Those who know the "feel" will beat any torque wrench to hell. I only use the torque wrenches on lug nuts and "rough" things like that and even then I back off a few ft lbs, never had a problem.

I work at a Ford/Chrysler dealer here in northern Wisconsin and from what I see from the 4 cylinder ecoboost engine they are pretty reliable. From the 1.5L to the 2.3L ecoboost 4 cylinders they seem to not have to many problems. The Ford fusion is one of the most reliable vehicle out there with the ecoboost engines. I think it mostly depends on how you take care of the vehicle too. Being a turbo engine I would change oil at 5000 mile mark. But time will tell to see what the 2.3 liter ecoboost will do. I plan i keeping mine for the next 10 years.. And in that time i should have around 150k to 200k on it. But if the ranger comes out with a 2.7L v6 ecoboost..... I might trade up into that... Lol

Its not that bad... I have done way worse.

[@scottspicka7372]

I had a 91 Toyota Pickup and had to remove a cover on the inner fender to get to the filter. Also with the oversized tires I put on I then had to remove the wheel. These are easy compared to some other vehicles.

[@tomsimmonds9598]

OMG YOU DON'T HAVE A FUNNEL??. SO IS THE OIL FILTER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OR THE PASSENGER SIDE??

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I didn't have a clean one so i did the old Jimmy Oaks challenge. The oil filter is on the Driver side.

@@TheWiscoGuyz NOT ON MY 2019, IT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE..WEIRD???

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

What engine do you have?

[@TheNipSnipper]

Don't ever trust Ford oil filter drain troughs HAHAHA. They have betrayed me so many times. I wish i could stand face to face with those engineers and rub their nose in that oil.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

😂

[@WDWDad]

Why are you changing your oil at less than 3k miles? The range has an oil life monitor equipped on it. Ford even say the 2019 Oli life is up to 1 year or 10k miles.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Mostly to get the break in oil out. Gained 5 mpgs average after i changed oil. Plus i only put on 6-8k mile a year on. I might switch to 5k oil changes though, we will see though.

[@abdjohani4461]

never use full synthetic on diesel engine

[@mdumiter]

wtf was ford thinking putting the filter there

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Probably thinking this engine wouldn't be in a rear wheel drive layout. Lol

[@hansluckoff7593]

@@TheWiscoGuyz Ford uses that engine in a east west configuration also, that's why the oil filter is where it is.

[@ejhayes76]

It is incredibly stupid. I have had the last two generation Subarus, which have the oil filter directly on top of the engine. That is how it should be. I'll be taking my Ranger to Ford for oil changes.

[@fozzywxman]

They were thinking about the extra money coming into their Ford Dealer service departments when DIYers decide this is a pain in the ass.

Buy a funnel ;)

[@triarii_00]

bastard clips to get to the oil filter? hard fucking pass on that one ford. thanks for making this video.

[@frandanco6289]

Wow, 5 little clips are too hard for your little dainty girly hands ??? Too bad...

[@tomsimmonds9598]

ALSO, FORD DOESN'T INSIST ON USING SYNTHETIC OIL

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

They don't. But it helps....

[@heavyhittr]

Ford will give you the cheap way to keep the perceived cost of ownership down. Truth is this is a very high tech power train. Synthetic oil is better a better lubricant than conventional oil. Flows better, keeps engine cooler. Cheap insurance over the long term if you want to go way beyond the warranty period.

[@zacharymurdock6721]

Yes they clearly do. In the owners manual of any Ranger it recommends using oil that meets Ford Spec: WSS-M2C946-B1. The dealerships and some shops around me (including the shop I work at) don’t stock or carry conventional oil anymore. Requiring, or recommending synthetic (or synthetic blend) oil is why oil change intervals have increased to 7500-15000 miles for newer cars in recent years. Yeah sure, you can try to go that far on “regular” oil but you might be needing a new engine 😂 🤦🏼‍♂️ 👍🏻 👨🏼‍🔧 Personally, I wouldn’t put anything but a high-quality synthetic in a Turbo engine (all of the new rangers are Turbocharged).

[@joshdcoleman]

Sorry, but Aaron is wrong! It's a TOTAL pain in the butt. I love my 2019 Ranger in EVERY way except the fuel economy auto shutoff and changing the oil. I've changed my own oil for 28 years on Chevy, Honda, Subaru, Toyota, Jeep and now Ford. This is the worst oil change setup I've ever come across! Why did I have to go down the KZbin rabbit hole just to find out where the filter is located AND how to access it? WTF Ford? Thanks WiscoGuyz!

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomsimmonds9598]

3000 MILES AND HE'S ALREADY CHANGING THE OIL?? WHY???

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Gotta get that break in oil out.

[@tomsimmonds9598]

@@TheWiscoGuyz OH? HOW COME??

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Gained 4 mpg after i did the oil change.

[@heavyhittr]

Cause he's smart. Small displacement turbo engine with direct injection go 5k miles max on oil changes with full synthetic and Motorcraft filters. High tech needs fresh oil as often as possible.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

This person gets it!
