[@inthedarkwoods2022]

This is a sponsored video.

[@AutoHeadz]

@@inthedarkwoods2022 Nope. Want to see my Amazon receipt for when I bought it myself? Shoot me an email.

[@kurtrindgen4708]

Who cares if it is.

[@BulletLoco8725]

That drain plug is definitely nice and pretty, but I prefer the oil to rush out. Oil rushing out will pick up any type of settlement at the bottom of your pan. A little oil on my hands never bothers me.

[@mexifry222]

The good part of the ronin is that it has a magnetic end on the inside which collects any shavings. Plus your filter should be cleaning the oil for any non medal sediment.

[@pathunter7003]

The plug isn’t on the bottom of the pan so there is about a 1/2” at the bottom of the pan to the drain. So I would think if there was any sediment it would still be laying on the bottom of the pan and not getting “flushed” out

[@BulletLoco8725]

@pathunter7003 definitely won't at a trickle.

[@eowen6087]

Bro that is a great video. I took my 2021 F150 2.7 in just today, and with a discount of $12.50, I still paid $92.00. For a freakin' oil change. I am doing it myself from now on. I will get everything you used in this video. Great pan and very cool plug. I appreciate your detailed explanation.

[@AutoHeadz]

It’s crazy man. I just did mine yesterday. As long as it’s a nice day out I actually really enjoy doing it. Have a good one brother.

[@pathunter7003]

Wow that’s a pricey oil change. I take mine to a local shop, 6 qts of semi syn oil and filter & lube for $39, tax and shop supply’s included. It’s tough to buy the oil and filter for that price. I have it changed about every 2500 mi as I don’t drive much in a yrs time. Otherwise it would be changed at 4000 mi intervals if I drove more

[@augustryan2366]

Great video and great product. I ordered the Ronnin oil plug. I'm always proud to support another American company 💪😎

[@AutoHeadz]

Thank you for saying that. It is refreshing. Not a whole lot of US companies making stuff anymore. Thanks again. I’ll see you in the next video 🤙🏻

[@agentbz]

Well-made video with tips on everything one might forget or not know, like resetting the "Oil Life" alarm. Thanks!

[@AutoHeadz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@williamreeve5376]

Thank you for making this video and providing so much detail. I purchased a 2023 F150 2.7L at the end of November and am getting ready to get some full synthetic oil in it for the first time. I had the nice drain pan and oil (Valvoline full syn) but my funnel was too small so I purchased the one you linked, picked up some Motorcraft 2062A filters from Rock Auto for my next 5 oil changes, acquired the Ronin via your link, some more rags, ordered some tubing, and purchased the 1 1/16" socket as I did not have that size. I can go into my vehicle's first oil change comfortable, and prepared to install the Ronin and complete the oil change properly thanks to your video work here. Thank you again. God bless you.

[@AutoHeadz]

That’s awesome. Thank you for the great comment. Let me know how the first change goes. It’s nice doing your own oil changes especially with that plug. Makes everything so clean and easy. Take care brother.

[@williamreeve5376]

@AutoHeadz I tried for a long time and could not get the new Ronin plug to seat all the way into a 2023 Ford F150 with the 2.7L Ecoboost. I lined up the notch at 7 o'clock, felt it pull in, pushed in as I twisted and attempted to get it to turn all the way to the 1200 o'clock position and click in around 30 separate times. It would not budge past the 10-0clock position no matter how hard I pushed, twisted or tried. Even tore up my finger. I wonder if the 23 Ford oil pan is slightly different. The 23 also didn't have the shroud to take off first with the 8mm socket. The skid plate/shroud didn't exist

[@farad8790]

Great video. Two in one. I’m definitely getting a few things you recommended for my next oil change. Also you have the best price for the oil filters🙌🏾

Awesome tutorial.

[@x-frce0074]

Great video bro! You broke it down to the T!

[@AutoHeadz]

Thank you man. I do my best. 🙌🏻

[@devontucker1572]

I have one of these and love it, but I did learn that leaving the filler cap in when opening the drain slowed the flow coming out just a bit, after it slows then I would remove the fill cap . But this Ronin still let’s the flow come out very quickly, just better managed if you use a hose the way it is shown here

[@judgedredd3268]

Thanks for hopping me to the ronin plug you should see my drive way there is oil all over it man.

[@AutoHeadz]

My pleasure man. It’s a must have IMO if you do your own changes. Thanks for picking my video to watch. I appreciate you.

[@johnbargfeldt1717]

Great videos man! Keep it up

[@AutoHeadz]

Thank you for saying that. 🤙🏻

[@david53245]

Awesome video! Thanks so much!! The oil pan link in the description doesn’t bring any results on Amazon. The link looks broken or the product is unavailable. Any other link you could send?

[@ranger178]

I like to put silicone grease on the reusable filter housings the end the threads and gaskets it makes it a lot easier to get it off if somebody overtightens it

[@tb7246]

Do you still remove the entire unit after all the oil drains to get that last little bit of oil on the bottom of the pan?

[@SamSam-ke9zy]

I store my ronan oil plug with an old siphon hose attached to it in the swingout tailgate store bin. Definitely worth it.

[@AutoHeadz]

Perfect idea. May have to steal that one.

[@ranger178]

I had an oil pan like that, but the cap did not stay on well it leaked if it was lying flat now i just use a big square transmission funnel with a mesh pad in it on top of a regular oil pan. makes it hard to miss and does not splash. then dump it in a heavy duty 5-gallon jug from tractor supply.

[@dangunn6961]

When I take that access panel off I only remove 3 of the 8 mm bolts. Then I loosen the 4th bolt ( rear passenger side bolt ) . That lets me rotate the panel out of my way. When it's time to put it back on I just rotate it back into position and the other 3 holes line right up. Also I use a cordless drill with a 1/4 inch driver with a 8mm socket on it. Good video.

[@AutoHeadz]

Very smart. Thanks you!

[@kurtrindgen4708]

That drain pan was a great purchase. After 30 years of changing my oil and transferring/spilling I bought one. I have a 2018 and don’t know that the Ronin will fit behind that cross member. The stock plug, if you crack it and just hold it in the opening the oil will flow down vertically. But you have to hold it the entire time.

[@AutoHeadz]

Definitely a game changer. A “must have” if you plan on doing your own oil changes IMO.

[@Benjamin06267485]

My same vehicle 😍 let’s see the video.

[@troywilliams8659]

Your funnel works good with the ford plug. Pull the plug right into that big red funnel works good.

[@gregreinert642]

Curious if anyone uses this with skid plates that have an access door to the drain plug. Looks like this ronin plug would be harder to use than a Fumoto since the piece needs to be screwed in to release oil.

[@joelane4670]

Great job dude! I love that drain plug,definitely will be looking in to one.. and, with that skid plate, that’s underneath,try leaving the one bolt in tours Passenger side back. Just leave that one screw in loosely and then you can just move the whole thing out of your way without taking it completely down. It makes it a lot easier when reinstalling. That’s usually how I do it.peace!..I have that same funnel. I actually won that funnel at a golf tournament.Thats funny! .

[@AutoHeadz]

Thank you! Great tip. I’m going to try that next time. Have a great weekend.

[@dakotaharrison9786]

[@j.seashell3785]

Thanks for the video. I just installed one and discovered the internal part of the plug is magnetic similar to aircraft oil fittings to inspect for metal chips.

Yes Sir. That’s exactly what it is used for in this application too. Thank you for watching and your kind words.

[@AutoHeadz]

That’s awesome man. I appreciate you saying that. I got it on Amazon. Link should be in the video description.

[@jisake1]

My only concern with the fancy Ronan plug is if you go to a service bay instead of DIY. Assume they may not have the special adapter to drain. As an owner I would not bring that device with me if traveling away from home.

[@c.e.anderson558]

And make damn sure you can open the hood before you drain the oil.

[@tedd7028]

The only problem with these valves is, the pan is a side drain hole instead of bottom hole, so the inside lip of the ronnin keeps the bottom 2 ounces from coming out. Those bottom 2 ounces are where most of the sludge will build up.

[@williamreeve5376]

I'll use an oil change pump. No mess, no hassle.

[@AutoHeadz]

If ya got one that’s a great option. Thanks for watching man.

[@eddwinnas]

doesnt work on 2.7

[@pathunter7003]

Does it get all the oil out with the oil pump?

[@LoneWolfSnowplowing]

Yes, I like to wait 20 minutes for my oil pan to drain

[@AutoHeadz]

After having done this at least 5x since this video, I’d say it’s an additional 1.5 2minutes of draining. A fair trade off considering I’m not spending ANY time cleaning up oil with my old plug.

[@kenm4678]

Should wait after shut down 15 minutes minimum before checking the level (it is mentioned in the manual). The engine is designed to drain slowly from the upper end. My own 2.7 takes near 1/2 an hour to finish draining.

[@pathunter7003]

That’s the downfall of having a shop changing the oil, they don’t allow enuf time for a good drainage of the block. At most my mechanic lets it drain 12-15 min, the time to lube and change the filter

I opened the WIX filter and the Motorcraft side by side and they were exactly the same and both were made in Korea. So basically just buy the one with a better price because they are exactly the same filter.
