6:58 I've been changing oil for 25+ years, never thought of using a bag on the messy filters, thanks for the idea!

[@patriotram9204]

I’ve changed to all synthetic oil for all my vehicles. It gives me piece of mind and I believe it stands up to heat better.

[@alanholmes2366]

Great video. No way in the hell I'm using conventional oil AND going 7k miles before changing it. I'll always be a full synthetic person. Those engines and the truck as a whole are expensive as hell. I'll do the extra...js

agreed. the full synth supertech is the same price as the conventional, so why go conven?

[@AlaskaErik]

When I do my first oil change I install the Fumoto oil drain valve that has a nipple, which allows for a drain tube to be installed. Makes all subsequent oil changes much easier and cleaner.

[@deputy630]

Did you get the shirt or long when you bought it?

[@foofstarr4856]

I did the same, got the Fumoto valve off Amazon. Installed it at my first oil change. Hopefully less messy the next time around although it will take a bit longer to drain all the oil as the valve makes the diameter smaller. Which is fine, enjoy your time in the garage as you do the job. The only annoying part is the filter as the location is real tight but the ziplock bag method helps!

[@ChadHaatvedt]

I bought a fumoto valve too, and we'll be installing it on the first oil change this weekend. I got one for the Subaru too.

[@chaldo84]

That was an awesome video! I just got a 2020 Ram Laramie loaded. Love it !!

[@knightwing4]

I changed mine to synthetic on the first oil change. You don’t have to but I did it because I Ned the extra protection.

[@fsharris9394]

Thank you brother. You did a great job . Everything is step by step. Have a great day.

[@omarv3153]

Thanks for sharing. I agree with several other posters and only use a name brand, full synthetic in my RAM. Also, the drain plug is 13 mm, not 1/2 inch. Yes, it will work in a pinch but Dodge/Ram seems to have converted to metric bolts, etc. a long time ago. For those who are interested in just getting everything from their local superstore, you can also use the Fram XG10060 filter on the 5.7L. These are easily found in the big box store and are rated to 20,000 miles with full synthetic (I don't let it go more than 10K)

I love my 4th Gen Laramie pickup by far the best truck I've ever owned most comfortable and best looking truck IMO... BUT Chrysler uses bad quality lifters in the 5.7, and they are notorious for being super noisey! Same as the 5.3 in chevys they are always noisey as hell too! my point being never cheap out on oil especially in the 5.7 hemi unless you want the "hemi tick" to get bad even early in its life! You always use high quality synthetic oil in these trucks.

Thanks for the video. Doesn't look any worse than changing the oil in my old Mini.

[@robertmoore9941]

That’s a great idea about using a large Ziploc bag to catch the oil from the filter when you remove it, good recommendation, I bought a used 2019 ram classic 1500 and I plan on using full synthetic from here on out, I think synthetics are superior and worth the money.

[@brettb.7425]

I usually don’t replace rims and tires because I actually prefer the look of factory rims. However, I think that the rims you are running look good on the truck.

[@joecareri6208]

Great hack with the ziplock bag. Saved a mess in the making. Great video

[@jwhmerica504]

The first change I did on my 2020 rebel was a mess because of the filter location. I hope the engineer that thought that placement was okay has both sides of his pillow hot.

[@lostin8986]

Matt, you clearly have never seen any actual oil tests if you would come on here and say something this idiotic.

[@UBBERTANKER]

personally any name brand conventional is good for 5k at most, i would never buy a house brand oil unless it was going in a total pos vehichle. in that truck id run syntheic or synthetic blend at a minimim

[@patsyimbery7329]

Awesome just changed the oil but used synthetic. The video was great info.

[@ForTehNguyen]

as FYI the 1500 manual says the span between the two dots on the dipstick is 1quart so you might have to add a little more

[@Bradentucky]

Ziploc...never thought of it. Love ❤️ it

[@de3481]

I did my first oil change on my '19 last weekend. I made a huge mess when the oil came gushing out of the drain. I need a better pan. The filter removal didn't make much of a mess, but I like the ziplock bag idea, I'll use that next time. I used the Amazon Basics Full Synthetic 5W-20 made by Warren Distribution. The Amazon oil is rated API SN+ and beats all other synthetic oils on the market for about 1/2 the cost. The Project Farm Channel has some very good oil testing videos. I got 12 quarts for $50. I used a Wix XP 57060XP filter from O'Reilly.

[@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS]

Yeah, I must say it was a messy job on this truck. Most oil changes aren’t like that. With the sway bar in the way for the drain plug and the electronic power steering module directly underneath the oil filter, it’s impossible not to make a mess under there. The plastic bag trick definitely helped tho! That’s good to know about the Amazon Oil.. I will have to order it up next time!

[@mcham0846]

Say good buy to warranty lol

[@josephpuchel6497]

Do you think the dealer would question using other than OEM filter or really doe it matter.

If your keeping it for a long time change oil every 3k. I have a 2020 and changed mine at 3000. Thanks for vid though. Nice truck. They said 10k miles on my 17 ford for first change lol I burned a quart by the time I hit 4k so changed it. Old man always said growing up change oil every 2k to 3k if you can afford it.
