Great video Rich! I'm glad you showed the underside of the truck after the Fluid Film has been on for awhile. Seems to be holding up and doing its job. I was under the impression that it would remain "slimy" and become a mess when working on the undercarriage. Looks like it dries up over time.

I had my new Ram sprayed with it....On the F150 I traded off 3 years and it looked fantastic after having it sprayed with fluid film every year

[@gsc512]

They don't really dry up, but what they do is they pick up dust and it forms a film and eventually if you get enough dust in there, it'll turn into almost like a wax like you'd find on an old tractor. And those old tractors are left in the field exposed to everything and you peel off that grime and it's almost like new steel underneath there😅 I was reading and in the olden days they said that they would spray the car down with those types of fluids. Usually it was motor oil and not wool wax or fluid film and then they would drive down a dirt road and it forms a crust on the exterior. I use woolwax I also use black because it has the graphite in there and that hides the bushings and stuff from the Sun

My van calls for 5w=30 and I use the Penzoil Platinum but I use it with 10w-30. I put 6qts in and in the winter use 4 qts of the 5w-30 and 2 qts of 10w-30. In the summer I flip it and use more of the 10w-30. Good video. Happy Motoring.

[@DeusKDuo]

Why not just use 5w-30 year around other then better cold start flow there is no difference in the oil thickness between the 2 at operating temperature. Also why wouldn't you want the better cold start flow it makes a difference even in the summer.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

@@DeusKDuo 5w vs 10w and there's no difference? So why do they put different ratings on the container?

[@DeusKDuo]

@@mostlymoparih5682 That is for the cold the w stands for winter. It is saying when the oil is cold it will act like a 5 or 10 weight when cold but a cold 5 or 10 weight oil is still thicker then a 30 weight oil when hot. Even a 0w oil is to thick when cold. So you want an oil that flows as good as possible when cold but once hot it will act the way a 30 weight oil should. So in short first number is how the oil acts when cold which is always to thick and second number is how it acts when its hot so 30 weight is 30 weight despite the first number. They carry the different weights purely for marketing reasons. People will see 10w-30 on their oil cap and want it even though a 5w, and 0w-30 will serve them just aswell or even better.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

@@DeusKDuo 5w-30 flows like a 5 weight in the winter and flows like a 30 weight in the summer. The reason for running lighter weight oils is to get better fuel economy. Go look up specs for an engine from year to year and the only thing that they change is the oil spec. I have been changing the oil in my cars for 55 years. My dad worked for Esso and I have used his advice along with my experience and done pretty well. Companies don't their products to last forever, just as long as the warranty then they want you to buy new.

[@DeusKDuo]

@@mostlymoparih5682 The oil doesn't know whether it is winter or summer its flow is based on the temperature of the oil. After about 15 minutes of driving all oil is over 200 degrees. So whether its winter or summer its all 30 weight once the car is good and warmed up. 0w-30, 5w-30 or 10w-30 its all still 30 weight its not any lighter. Why would you not want an oil that flows better when cold where most engine wear occurs is during cold starts because even 100 degrees is still not warm enough for the oil. Here is an example of actual oil specs a 0w-30 oil and a 10w-30 oil at 212 degrees which is normal operating temperature of a warm car they are both at a thickness of 10cst but at 75 degrees which is a cold car during a normal summer morning here in california a 10w-30 oil is 100cst which is 10 times thicker a 0w-30 at the same 75 degrees is 40cst which is still to thick but much closer to the 10cst the car is meant to be running oil at. I do agree the lighter weight oils are just to meet cafe standards but a 0w-30 is not truly lighter then a 10w-30. In fact i run 40 weight oil in my mirage that calls for 20. All my cars run on 0w-40 all the benefits of running a ticker oil without the drawbacks of being to thick when cold.

You got great truck there. Rare to find a used truck like that that was taken care of. When I had my f150 5.0 I always just put 8qts using the 500 filter. Oil level was filled to the top of the cross hatch marks on the dip stick.

[@slscamg]

It seems to be a good option to slowly clean up old engines or dirty engines. Basically you’re supposed to just use it for the long run because according to an interview, I saw cleaning your engine too fast is going to clog up your filter and those small oil passages. So if Valvoline wants you to use it for like four oil changes to see the best results.

I've been putting FL820 on my 15 Mustang GT since new or Ford racing version time to time. Then wife's 14 Escape I asked her what mileage was on last oil change. She says it was done in March I'm like so what don't care about the date only mileage. It has 4200 miles on oil change, I said it needs to be changed and she's like why it was just done. I really think people don't think about maintenance because its not broken yet. Just drive it until every warning light on and wheels falling off. Then get shock of the cost to fix it and then go on every social media site claiming car a piece of crap. Her son drove Dodge Durango with his kids inside down interstate with upper and lower ball joint about ready to pop out and hub bearings out. Only thing that kept from coming apart was brake calipers. It broke one of caliper bolts and was rubbing the wheel. He didn't hear a thing you got to be kidding me.

Thanks for the content on this truck as it is comparable to my '17 F150 5.0. I look forward to your oil results. I've been running 5W30 ever since I drove it home last May at 51k and love it. Shortly after arriving in CT after driving from Minnesota, I changed fluids on the front and rear diff, 6R80 pan drop w filter, t-case drain and fill, drain and filled the radiator several times to replace the orange coolant with yellow 50/50 as orange is prone to fallout and HC restriction with block heater use. Luckily i didn't have that issue as the prev. owner never used the block heater. I do not "flush" and use the factory yellow 50/50 coolant mix to stay away from any tap water contaminant issues or distilled "lack of ion issues". Bled the brake system twice. Fluid filmed the frame inside and out prior to winter (I love the fluid film too ☺, all filters changed inc. cabin. Love the truck. She has been solid.

[@MRTEE-sy7sb]

I have a 16 5.0. I flushed my cooling system and replaced with the yellow also. Dumping the radiator only drains half the coolant in the system, and unless you pulled the thermostat, the coolant in the block wouldn’t of cycled. You would of had to bring it to operating temp every time before the next “dump and fill” as you explained. Even doing that 3 times still leaves you with .75gallon old orange coolant (halved with each dump assuming it was fully mixed). I drained my radiator, pulled the thermostat, started the engine and kept pouring in distilled water with the rad plug still open. Once it was coming out crystal clear I stopped. It took me 20+ gallons to get it all out. Then I dumped the radiator which leaves 50% water in the system, topped off with 3 gallons of new concentrate for a perfect 50/50 ratio. Distilled water is a non issue when mixed with coolant concentrate.

[@techsing3037]

​@@MRTEE-sy7sbI hear you and believe me if I had any indication that my orange coolant had the symptoms of Fallout issues I would have most certainly taken the slightly more invasive approach and flushed it. On my last drain and fill before winter I'm happy to say that the coolant coming out looks just as pure as the brand new yellow going in and that is after many drive cycles mixing through regular driving. I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle with better heat

I think I heard you mention possibly using a 5w-40 oil? I have a 2017 F-250 that has the 6.2 gas engine. I have been using 5w-40 Rotella T6, Valvoline Eruo 5w-40 and Pennzoil Euro 5w-40. Seem like the engine is the quietist with Rotella T6 or the Valvoline. The engine/truck has 152K miles. Runs great. NO issues. I value your opinion on this Rich. You think this is helpful to use 5w-40 or does really make any difference? I had a 2018 F-150 with the 5.0 coyote and had rocker arm/cam follower bearing failure. Lost a couple rocker arms around 100K....and I maintained the 5.0 very meticulously. The F-250 6.2 has a different rocker arm set up but I hoping/thinking the 5w-40 being a little thicker will help out these overhead cam engines. I also carry some doubt that the 5w-40 is not getting through the VCT or VVT cam oil passages like a 5w-30 will. Would you think I am doing harm to my engine with the 5w-40 and should be using 5w-30 like OEM specs or is the 5w-40 better. Also thanks for the flood mode recommendation. I have been doing this with my Ford trucks every since I watched you do this a few years back. I live in TN so we have about 3-4 weeks of really cold weather. I do know whether summer or winter the 5w-30 make for a much louder engine with my 6.2 and with my former truck with the 5.0.

That seems like a lot of oil in that catch can. But then again I do have the 1st gen coyote, which for a stock truck engine I believe is the best version of the 5.0l. Mine at 5k oil changes, which is mostly towing, only gets about half a shot glass in it. And that's at 175k miles with roughly 100k towing, and I don't slow down for the passes which forced me to put a bigger trans cooler in. The 2nd and 3rd Gen engines just seem to have more oil consumption issues, I understand they are better for making power, but the 1st Gen engines just seem to work, and I like the fact they had the position cooling jets for those long pulls at higher rpms.

So dipstick color matters in your motor oil. If it turns black, get it out, no matter the mileage. Best wishes

5w-30 Quaker State Full Synthetic oxidation value is 6.5. I need to have the the 5w-30 Quaker State Full Synthetic High Mileage oxidation value tested.

[@dyllanmarshall3506]

I made a mistake oops I don’t know what the oxidation value of 5w-30 Valvoline Restore and Protect. My apologies. I’m getting old.

[@Krunch2020]

If there’s fuel in your catch can it’s likely the injectors are dirty. Try a fuel treatment like RedLine or Techron. Large droplets of fuel wash the bores and end up in the oil pan.

[@rockyourworld5374]

Appreciate the tech vid Rich. Awesome! 🙂

[@Crockedflyer811]

👍👍 I had to do it on my escape but I'm going to try it on my 3.5 to. sadly I can't get the restore and protect in Canada 😢😢 so I might drive down and get some some time

[@user-tb6zf1io3d]

More videos like this please. Ii have 2 explorers and a newer mustang and im going to now use the 820 on all 3. I had no idea they were compatible! Plus 500 is almost $9.00 where I buy the 820 for $3.99. Thank you rich

[@alextran8188]

I just realized your truck has a lot less total engine & idle hourse than mine for having over 100k miles. My 2017 2.7 f150 has 3418 total engine hours with 779 idle hours. And i have a little over 83000 miles

[@miriamvivo4279]

I have to install either a catch can or oil fuel seperater on my 2006 subaru sti. I did the same with fluid film

[@patfairman2471]

Hey Boss can I ask you a question I have a2020 Ford Ranger I bought extended warranty it has run out do lots of driving. When I hit between 40 and 50 km it seems likes it hesitates I changed and fuel injectors I never have missed an oil change

[@FordBossMe]

Have you done anything with spark plugs or clean the throttle body

[@alopez7184]

2013 3.5 eco boost oil filter swap to an FL-820 a good idea as well?

[@duckwacker8720]

Engine swap is highly recommend.🤣

[@FordBossMe]

As I said in the video that's up to you to experiment I kind of like it

[@paulwenzl1711]

Don't see the benefit of flood mode starting... the engine is turning over just the same if flood mode turning or natural combustion turning. Flood mode seems like just more wear on the starter, dont you think?

[@jwizpc]

Their isn’t a huge difference between 20-30 weight oils totally fine to run. The manufacturer back be for the hype of mpg and epa would give you range of viscosity to use since on your engine depending on conditions. As why it would have a refer to manual label on the cap.

[@Bushy556]

Ford no longer has the FL-500 at the dealers. It’s been replaced by a slightly larger filter. I can’t remember the code for it.

[@jeffhurley9291]

Love your videos bro that flooding trick work on the gm 5.3 .

[@TrevorChenier]

Awesome Video Brother Thanks 💪🏾🙏🏾

[@moshet842]

Less chance of a cold start bypass event with a larger filter so that's definitely a plus.

[@darronwatson730]

Do you recommend ultra Pennziol full synthetic oil for a 2013 Nissan frontier or your preference for this truck?

[@6atlantis]

Would you feel just as “comfortable” running penz platinum in your car rather than ultra platinum. From your videos I’ve learned that ultra plat is better but it’s hard to come by near me and Amazon seems to spill every jug they ship lol. Thanks.

[@timetryp422]

What does "Restore and Protect" mean? Is that just another marketing term for High Mileage oil?

[@GusMahn]

Some newer engines ( mostly 4 cylinders) are having troubles with the piston oil wiper rings getting plugged up and then the engine uses tons of oil, sometimes a quart every few hundred miles! Restore and Protect is supposed to clean the piston in three oil change intervals. We'll see if it actually does what it's advertised to do. To me the wording on the bottle isn't a guarantee.

[@davidberry9226]

Would love to hear your opinion on the best 'High Mileage' full synthetic oil out of Pennzoil and Valvoline. Just picked up a 2003 Acura TL with 148,000 miles. Pretty sure the previous owner's been using Pennzoil platinum 5W20 from the dealership. But I want to switch to high mileage and want the best. Money is not a factor. Thanks brother 🙏

[@FordBossMe]

The best bang for your bucking high mileage is Valvoline high mileage extended protection Ultra Max life technology or just regular Valvoline high mileage full synthetic

[@josipdolic6391]

Thanks to you bro I do the same thing when restarting after oil change

[@theobserver9565]

I have a catch can thats twice the size of yours and in the winter it fills up fast. Michigan with 3.5 ecoBoost.

[@anish-79]

There is a bigger Oil Filter that fits in Ford Mustang GT 5.0 from 2015 to Present called Ford Racing CM-6731-FL1A. Would that Oil Filter also fit into a F150 since its a Coyote also ? Love to see 5W-40 in that F150 in the next change.

[@joecnewimage2019]

I asked The company I work for if they could do the TBN after I do my oil change, they do the oil samples at my work and I'm going to get the ultra Platinum tested after I drain the oil at 5000 miles I'll let u know the report, we got a world class testing unit at our facility, hint , we build the best motors in the world

[@siahmonkey10]

oh update please!

[@VIheavyequipment]

do you think it would be a good idea for catch can on my f-150 3.7 when they did my spark plugs they said it had oilly residue in the intake they just cleaned it out but if this would stop it eh

[@raymondmedeiros8614]

Why do they design a motor that Cokes up intake valves ?😊

[@user-yj7yn4fi4l]

Engine designers should plumb PCV into the exhaust system not the intake manifold. Catalytic converter would burn the vapor and intake valves stay clean..

[@duckwacker8720]

Because of the EPA. Everyone went to high pressure direct injection like a diesel. Port injection would spray the intake valves and keep them clean.

[@kayakkevin]

Is there any reason to think that the restore and protect would be harder on engine seals or maybe rubber oil pump belts? I have a 2020 Mustang GT and I believe the 3rd gen Coyote has the rubber oil pump belt. Just curious since it wasn't designed with a cleaning oil in mind?

[@FordBossMe]

I wouldn't think so I think it would be perfectly fine

[@FordBossMe]

No I don't think yours has an oil pump belt I'm pretty sure up until 2020 it was still driven off of the crank

[@kayakkevin]

Thanks!@@FordBossMe

[@4Runner21]

Hey man thanks for all the automotive knowledge you share with us! Hey Sir, do you think a MotorCraft oil filter will perform the same if not better than OEM Honda oil filter on a 2013 Acura RDX? Thank you!

[@FIGGY65]

Greetings 4Runner, A quick check on RockAuto in fact shows the Motorcraft FL816 as a high end full synthetic filter suitable for your RDX. Motorcraft has been an OUTSTANDING choice for many decades, but I’m not up on their quality in the last 3 years. You would be well served by watching some oil filter reviews on YT; a lot of filters are out there that have questionable construction ( imposters, etc) so it’s good to know what’s what nowadays. Purolator, Wix, Mobil 1, and Mann ( no relation lol) are solid choices as well.

[@ross.hartman4269]

Just start the truck. I’ve never had issues with oil pressure after an oil change.

[@francodeiuliis1562]

Thank you for your time in posting these videos very informative to us Ford guys Would you recommend a catch can for a 2022 f150 5.0 coyote Cheers from Nova Scotia

[@jasonbrushett2005]

Hey I'm from Nova Scotia too! I'm planning on a catch can for my 3.5 Ecoboost

[@clb_52]

Actually you did start it dry because the system isn't primed when you start turning the engine over

[@BrianFox]

How much oil did you add between oil changes? IN MY 50. I would have added 2-3 qts.

[@Deerslayer369]

Great video as always! I have a tuned 17' 5.0 on E85. Would you recommend 5k oil changes still, or should I do 3k-4k? I'm at 3k and oil life says 50% with full synthetic walmart high mileage. Thanks!

[@angelreza3560]

How often should i use flood mode in a 2020 3.5 eco? Every cold start?

[@FordBossMe]

No only when the vehicle sits for a while or you change the oil

[@jamesmoxley5600]

I was wondering on my 16 Silverado if I should up it to 0 30w instead of 0 20w currently have 65k on truck and it runs pretty smooth and quiet. Love you videos, you are a good mechanic in my book. Have a good day

[@Lawnfella]

Wish Valvoline didn’t sell out to the Saudi’s

[@FordBossMe]

That doesn't really bother me if it's good oil it's good oil

[@Lawnfella]

@@FordBossMe it’s great oil just hope they don’t change the formula

[@terrybryson252]

No filter change? Thought supposed to do with every oil change no matter what. These new filters better FLA20?

[@darekniewinski3002]

Did you listen to the video, Rich did change it with a bigger oil filter, maybe he didn't film it or edit the video that way but he did change it 😁

[@FordBossMe]

Buddy I showed you in the video of the brand new filter that I put on it I even bragged a little bit about putting an fl820 on it instead of the fl500 small one that comes on it

[@Mike-su8si]

I think this 98 regular cab Ford f150 had thicker oil in i will be changing it in the spring with 10w30 whats thinner
