2022 Kenworth W990 First Oil Change

[@longpine5592]

I put those fumoto valves on a project I did for someone. He never changed the oil because you had to drop a 200lb skid plate to do it. Now with that valve and a tube, it’s easy peasy. Nice work as usual.

[@FourthOver]

Yeah, I like using them. Thanks for watching.

[@ericvanswoll4611]

Hey Ferrell, I still do everything by hours. The new heavy haul I have is every 250 now because it's rated at extreme service. The old rule of when it uses a gallon it's time, seems to be true. Nice to see you have a channel, found you this morning

[@FourthOver]

Thanks Eric glad you found the channel. So far, she hasn't used any oil, so I hope that keeps up. Thanks for watching

[@colemankassik7138]

Where you there when lucky had a stick hit the drain valve coming out of spur 4. I had to haul him some oil out to him

[@FourthOver]

I remember that I think Jack was the only one I've heard of that had a problem with them. Thanks for watching.

Early shouldn't hurt. We ran amsoil 5w40 fully synthetic with their add on filters on Our 92 Mack CH. Only changed filters at 10-12000 Highway miles . With Oil samples sent to lab. I think it took 5-6 qts to fill filters when changing. Also ran 7/90ep in rear ends. The truck would roll free on those negative 20-30 degree mornings when leaving home heading west. Enjoy your channel Farrel. As meticulous as you are. That truck is good for many years of service.

[@FourthOver]

Thanks Jim, I bet the oil is like glue in those cold temps. Thanks again for commenting and watching.

[@jimconnor8274]

@@FourthOver 8/90ep gear oil will not drain at those temps!

[@philipburrows]

I did notice that the oil pan seems to have 3 drain plugs, 1 at the front of the oil pan, 2nd at the side of the large section of the oil pan, then it seems to be a 3rd right at the bottom of the large section of the oil pan, putting valves on the oil pan is a old school trick it was once the in thing to have from the factory in the very early year's of car's. The KW is looking good and doing a oil change every 10,000 to 12,000 is better than factory as the recommended interval is a average use of the vehicle over 12 months. Using a slightly heavier oil when running the engine harder and longer idling, another important thing is to reduce the amount of particulates going into the intake of the engine, the idea that exhaust gasses and oil, water and fuel mix vapours going into the intake of an engine makes it more efficient is bogus, it makes the engine work harder and run hotter as more fresh fuel is needed to keep the engine running smoothly. This is my thoughts on it, every one has the right to agree or to disagree. Love to all, keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up and we will see you on the back haule brother.

[@FourthOver]

Thanks, Philip, for the input, always good to get some other thoughts on things. You are right there are a lot of drain plugs in the pan for some reason, I guess for different applications. Thank you for watching.

I’ve got the same truck except my is 525 hp. I’ve changed my 3 times so far at about 10-12 thousand miles. Seems to work ok. 11 gallons Seems to not fill it alway up. Paccar water separator is a different story We’ve been changing it about 5000 miles I do construction lowboy work. Petty good truck except for squeaky hood. Really good turning radius and good power The AG46 seems to stand up good under heavy loads curvy roads. I believe the w900 is better built truck but for day cab I really enjoy that big cab. Great work on the videos.

[@FourthOver]

Thanks for the information, Kevin. 11 gallons put this one right at the line above the hash marks, I imagine each engine a little different. I've heard that on the fuel filter, but I haven't had any trouble with this one or the old one. I do run in a warmer climate, not sure if that helps. My hood is really heavy to get open too, I use white grease every week on it. This week I put tire mounting soap on it, I heard somewhere to use it, so I thought I'd try it. I agree on the W900 be built better, Thanks for the great comment and for watching.

[@kevinjones2667]

Thoes valves look like they are a life saver. Good idea

[@FourthOver]

I think they work well and easier than dealing with the plugs. Thanks for watching

[@gellis4]

I'm jealous of how clean everything stays! We err on the side of caution with early oil changes too, especially during the winter months. I'm looking forward to whenever KW builds our new truck, I've driven our other '20 KW once with the new motor and it's incredibly smooth when rolling and feels a bit stronger than my '14.

[@FourthOver]

I've been loading right on the pavement lately, so the truck stays pretty clean. What model KW you have coming? This one runs a little better than my 14 did but I almost think the jake was better on the 14 than this one. Thanks for watching

[@gellis4]

We ordered a W900L aero day cab. 565, 18spd, 3.73s. I'm not sure if they went 2050, I believe our '20 is. My 14 is an 1850. I have heard that the emissions is less intrusive when you're driving, which is something I'm looking forward to.

[@FourthOver]

@@gellis4 That sounds like a cool truck. When is it supposed to show up?

[@truckerhawk]

Yeah I think oil is expensive so I normally just use the same oil drain it out screen it and then poor it back in that way I get more use out of my oil it's recycled what do you think about that I think you doing a great job I'm glad I found your Channel when I was looking around KZbin this morning keep up the good work Asian says hi

[@edwinslow7777]

We have settled on changing the oil at 10,000. We do so much stop and go. Have been using Castrol semi synthetic 15/40. How are you liking the 3.23 gearing? Probably will be on Hazel more now that we're back on the Bickfird ranch job there at the end of Sierra College. Hope to see you soon!

[@FourthOver]

Ok thanks for the info Ed. I see they are back building that subdivision, hopefully I'll run across you down there. I'm running 3.58 ratio and it's ok, but I think it's a bit too fast for me, I should have stuck with the 3.73. I'll get it right on the next truck! Maybe. Thanks for watching.

[@llen609]

I haul 151,000 pounds tri drive with a quad dump trailer. We change oil every 300 hours

[@FourthOver]

That sounds like severe service, and a good interval to me. With those loads it probably good to do more often. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@byronfrick7155]

I just bought a used truck with one of those drain valves. I don’t trust them. I figured I would replace it with a regular plug at the next oil change. How do you like the more modern cab so far?

[@FourthOver]

I hear you Bryon. The bigger cab is pretty good, it is better for legroom. Seems a bit quieter too. I think I need to tint the side windows, they sure let in some heat when the sun hits them. Thanks for watching.

[@truckerhawk]

We had a drain valve on our log truck. Worked great for us

[@truckerhawk]

Also I think I would understand the video better if you change the oil on my truck next week

[@FourthOver]

I can do that, but I charge a lot and work slow. Thanks for watching

[@mh-tn3ic]

Any updates on Brownie? Also do you put oil in the new oil filter before you put it on? It would build oil pressure quicker.

[@FourthOver]

Got a Brownie update coming, dang work getting in the way of working on it. I'm trying to get time to do some things on it. I did put a half gallon of oil in the filter, I should have mentioned that in the video. Thanks for watching!

[@brucehodges7889]

I always wanted to get those Fumoto valves but never got around to it...don't have to deal with that stuff anymore...Did you prefill your oil filter? Do you take weight off your kingpins to grease them? Early oil change can't be a bad idea for a new motor...

[@FourthOver]

Hey Bruce, yes, I did prefill the filter. I usually put about a half-gallon in it. I should have mentioned that. And yes I jack up the front end when I grease it. Thanks for watching.

[@ronniecoma8679]

is it a log truck? I dont see any rock chips on the frame rail. lol looks good man

[@FourthOver]

Ha Ha, trying to keep it that way. I've been lucky lately, loading on the pavement or very close to. Thanks for watcing.

[@1979kw]

do you use ceramic coating or anything on your aluminum? or do you polish all the time? im thinking about trying a ceramic coat on a pair of fenders

[@FourthOver]

I've never tried the ceramic coat. I hear it's supposed to work well. I just polish everything by hand.

[@georgelydakis2652]

Send an oil sample to Blackstone Labs at 12k. They will let you know if you can go longer.

[@FourthOver]

That's a good idea, thanks

[@shadow_frostbite]

These new synthetic oils have us push 40k to 50k between oil changes for highway trucks.....crazy

[@FourthOver]

It is crazy, hard to change your ways of doing things. Thanks for watching.
