2021 Ram 5.7 Hemi Oil Change

A quick video of changing the oil and oil filter in a 2021 Ram 1500 with 5.7 liter Hemi

@@5beesgarageI’m on my 3rd oil change on mine and I’ve come to the conclusion that Chrysler engineers are determined to see how much a man can use profanity during a oil change, I’ve been stuffing rags up in there to try and catch as much oil as possible, got to try the training pad next for sure

[@bassquatch1550]

Great video! I have the same truck and agree the oil filter location is a pain. I started fitting a large ziplock bag over it (once it's a bit loose), then remove it with the bag in place. After it comes off, hold it in place another 30 seconds for additional drainage. This works like a champ for me. I've always done my own changes, especially since I average about 45k miles per year and change every 5k so I save a ton of money.

[@5beesgarage]

Thanks for the comment and the tip Basssquatch. I will certainly try the bag trick next time.

[@juanvaldez1995]

Use a gallon zip lock bag to takeout the oil filter , first loosen the oil filter, then cover it with the ziplock bag and remove all the way ,you may have a bit of oil drip but it helps

[@ddrd37]

Genius!!!

[@vr4787]

That’s why I did an oil filter relocation kit in my Ram 1500 Classic to have the filter up front. Better access, less mess, and I can use a larger filter. 👍

Does this effect the oil pressure? I would hate to sacrifice pressure for convenience.

Toyota has a drain plug housing for the oil change Works well , just connected one of those small clear hoses to the plug all the way down to the used oil conditioner, there’s gotta be a third-party design housing with a filter for easy drainage!

[@thereckoning5084]

This is also a simple job if you are laying down with your feet sticking out the front of the truck, position yourself so you can reach your right hand straight up to filter. Now if you angle your body so your feet are pointing in the direction of the passenger front wheel you can reach your left hand up and grab the filter with that hand coming from the front side of the engine. Bam, both hands are now on the filter and its an easy turn.

[@5beesgarage]

Simple, yes. Messy, yes because of the poor location of the filter. Thanks for the comment.

[@jw8578]

Saw a guy cut a milk carton to funnel oil from filter out bottom. Worked great.

[@JohnnyRinGotoo]

Not sure how many more times you have had to do this but it's easier to get to the filter from the front over the cross bar and long funnel works great.

Excellent video, excellent commentary. My words would have been a lot more colorful 🤣 I didn’t watch this video to learn how to change oil but to see what type of filter wrench was used. Pulled the plug then looked at the filter and spewed some colorful words. Now I’ll go back and see if I can turn it by hand first. The MoFo that designed that!

[@saltcar]

Love the comments about "collage educated" engineers but let me tell you what most likely happened. The oil filter, drain plug, sway bar, etc etc all came together at different times on different vehicles. Even if the "engineer" knew how to change oil (many don't) and went their boss to say "hey boss, we need to move the filter"...their boss would say "can't do that cost money and time" You see, bean counters run most manufacturing companies now. The people in charge NEVER changed their oil, repaired anything, and don't understand the frustration of those who do. Next time you fill out one of those stupid marketing/satisfaction surveys be sure to mention: "how about trading proper oil filter/maintenance access for 1 less USB port or confusing touchscreen controls" Most likely you'll be met with a blank stare.

[@5beesgarage]

I agree with you 100%. I have nothing against college educated or engineers. It was just a joking comment. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@rgriffith2006]

Poke the bottom of the filter with an icepick or a nail set. Pull it out, and quick swap in a long funnel to direct the flow into the drain pan. I've been doing the ice pick thing for years to keep it from waterfalling the outside of the filter on my F250s where you have clear access all day, but this is the first change on my Longhorn. Looks like I'll need one of those bendy funnels I've wanted anyway.

As long as the oil meets the specs from Ram then you are fine, brand doesn't matter.

[@ironroad18]

I use to put the best in my Challenger 3.6, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, or Shell. Changed the oil every quarter, even if the car chime didn't go off. Flushed the engine every other year, and would also do a intake and fuel rail cleaning. It still developed a lifter tick (known as the Hemi tick) at 100k. Now with the Ram I just throw whatever cheap Dexos-compatible synthetic is on sale. Screw that noise, Chrysler has a major design flaw with its Pentastar and Hemi engines.

[@5beesgarage]

@@ironroad18 I know what you mean. That is why if it meets the specs it is good enough for me. I have been down the same road. Thanks for the comment.

People over-rate the importance of brand name oil. When it comes right down to it, they all meet the exact ASTM standards. As long as you change the oil and filter regularly, you can use any brand of ASTM certified oil with confidence. Who do you think makes the Wal-Mart branded oil? Not Walmart.

[@charliecharlie1294]

a simple solution for the oil filter is that Stellantis college students should plug-in a filter that can be change only after 50K miles. all you should have to do is just drain the oil and fill a new oil. thats it.

[@5beesgarage]

Patrick, The factory filter was on there tight. I used a strap wrench to get it off. I was able to turn it a little at a time, as there was so little room for the wrench, until the filter was loose enough to be able to turn it by hand. Go to Amazon and search strap wrench. It is a plastic handle with a rubber strap. I hope that helps. Thanks for the comment.

I used channel locks coming from underneath, grabbing the base (thickest metal) and twisting. Always does the trick when people leave the same oil filter on their cars for 70k miles...

As far as the Quaker state….it’s WAY BETTER than the crap coming from a drum that the dealer would be putting in it.

Not going to hear a thing from me on your choice of filter and oil. The Fram XG/Ultra filters are very well made. Anyone who confuses them with the less expensive orange Frams doesn't know anything about filters. As for Quaker State, it is owned by Shell and is super high quality. Compare its specs to anything from Mobil, Castrol, etc. But keep it quiet or QS will start charging more for it when the word gets out. As for the filter location, I'm glad I drive a 2019 Chevy with the 5.3. Easiest oil change of all the full size trucks in my opinion. No suspension parts in the way. Oil filter right next to the drain plug with nothing in the way. GM made the oil changes super easy.
