2022 F150 2.7 EcoBoost Oil Change

[@HobbiesHobo]

In the old days you took your tool box with you when you climbed into the engine compartment, then 2 friends climbed in as well. While you did the oil change, you could discuss where the next fishing trip would be. haha, Nothing is easy on a newer vehicle these days.

[@oddballschtuff]

You’re absolutely right! I have fond memories of helping my dad fix the old 69 Chev. I don’t recall that they were happy times because that meant something was broke, but they are good memories looking back.

[@jamespollard1670]

I like how they placed the oil drain plug so oil would hit the sway bar when you drain the oil . So much thought was in the design .

[@oddballschtuff]

Wasn’t their slogan in the past “better ideas”?

[@jamespollard1670]

@@oddballschtuff Yes , I think so .

[@hip_check]

Everyone knows the key to a happy truck is keeping the center of the sway bar well-lubricated.

Thats a goofy drain design! Man. Makes me glad i drive a 13 year old Jeep! Thanks for the video! Kitty litter, aisle 12 😂

[@oddballschtuff]

🤣I could have used a couple bags for sure! The engineers apparently never have had to change their oil before.

[@nicholas2932]

I take the drain plug out partially. takes less than a minute to empty and I don't have any mess to clean up. Even my hand remains clean. But I've never seen anyone take the time so I guess i'm the odd ball lol

[@oddballschtuff]

I’ll try that next time! I’ve been doing it wrong for a lot of years now😖

[@nicholas2932]

@@oddballschtuff its a bit challenging when the engine is hot but slow is key to this evaluation.

[@lj4knobs614]

thanks for the video and teaching me what not to do....spill oil everywhere, drop the pan and don't follow mfg torque settings. However, the entertainment was worth it.

[@oddballschtuff]

I do my best👍

[@mikejbam]

Dorman makes a replacement drain plug that you open with a screw driver and drains straight down, missing the sway bar.

[@oddballschtuff]

I’ll have to look into that and be! Thanks

[@motovalleyenduro]

Good lord, I just did my first oil change on my 2.7 using a 9l Tupperware I bought at a dollar store and didn’t spill a drop. That whole thing was painful to watch 😂. I do the drain plug and don’t pull it out all the way. You can totally control how much comes out and after a couple of quarts are out then you can pull it out all the way. This was one of the easiest oil changes I’ve ever done, so easy I cancelled my order for the Ronin Drain Plug. No need to spend 80$ CAD on a drain plug.

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

👍🍻 good deal

[@user-ed9my7zz3t]

تغيير الزيت في هذه السيارة يتم عن طريق الشفط. لقد تم وضع الفلتر في أعلى المحرك لهذا السبب.

[@oddballschtuff]

I've never seen it done that way before?

[@johnm5263]

Any videos on changing the radiator fluids

[@oddballschtuff]

Not on this one yet, In about 65k more miles I’ll do that.

[@JTPerformanceSynthetics]

Awesome video, that drain plug is dumb, I ended up buying the RONIN drain plug. It’s a game changer.

[@oddballschtuff]

I’ll have to look into that. It’s the only part of the oil change that I hate.

[@troywilliams8659]

change the oil next time in a target parking lot.

[@unclejim2330]

Who the heck designed that drain system? 😳🤭🌊🌊🌊 Would a drain valve be asking too much? Engineers! 💥🔨💥🔨

[@oddballschtuff]

Enginerds make life easier by making it more complex. It’s 🧪 science 🧬. Better Ideas 💡

[@ChrisFromThe740]

Well the top side didn't look to bad but what a pain in the butt underneath

[@oddballschtuff]

It takes longer to remove the cover than to do the oil change. And the sway bar is conveniently placed for optimal obstruction. Thanks Ford😤

[@johnb9292]

So make sure I do it in my backyard ✔️

[@oddballschtuff]

[@johnb9292]

​@@oddballschtuffgreat video bud. I've always done work to my own trucks. They're trying to make it rocket science now.

[@oddballschtuff]

@@johnb9292 they want the money for the truck and to fix and maintain it as well

[@hientruong4074]

Why the exhaust and cats looks like it got 150k miles on it. My 19 doesn’t look as rusty as that 😭

[@oddballschtuff]

Do you get lots of snow where you live? We do and they dump salt all over the roads. It rusts everything.

[@hientruong4074]

@@oddballschtuff I live in Texas 😂. I didn’t expect it to be that bad.

[@oddballschtuff]

@@hientruong4074 it’s terrible!

[@chriskim5525]

Only 5 quarts??

[@oddballschtuff]

Did I say 5, I meant to say 6

[@brokeloader]

I hate those plastic drain plugs.😂

[@oddballschtuff]

They scream quality at any expense.
