That was quite possibly the best presentation of a responsible oil change ever. You just boosted my confidence 100%. Off to Walmart to get my oil, filter, wrenches and pan. I'll have to use ramps though. Don't have enough money for a lift, lol.

Well done draining it without making a mess. I ended up buying the Ronin Factory easy oil drain plug to replace the yellow plastic plug as it allows you to drain the oil in a controlled manner. It also has a magnetic tip on the plug.

Thanks! Thanks for the tip! That sounds like a great product. I’ll look into it and maybe link it in the description.

great video. I would use a hand tool for screws so they dont strip. Wipe the filter gasket surface clean, and lubricate the new gasket. otherwise the best video presentation Ive seen.

FYI -- The factory 2024 oil filter was 1 inch shorter than the replacement filters (purolator 10241 or Motorcraft FL910S) 2.25 versus 3.25 inches. the 13 screws already hold the cover well, the 2 plastic clips aren't really needed. Didn't really need to lift the car. There was enough room for a one arm reach job. (If more room is needed drove onto a 2x6 to get the extra 1.5 inches)

lol, remember when an oil change was easy and you didn’t have to take 100 clips off and 3 panels to find the drain plug. Haha

i learned that its always good to take the oil cap off before you drain the oil so you dont end up with a engine with out a way to put oil back in

I just changed my oil in 2023 Big Ben and put back in 6 qts and 20 oz. I got this out of manual. 6.6 qts. Is this what you put in? thanks
@bennieaust6 ай бұрын
No, as I covered in the video and describe, it took 5.3 qts. I’m not sure if there is possibly a difference from year to year.

I just changed my sister's 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend 1.5L with the same plastic oil pan. I initially put 5.3 Quarts, checked out and it was low that none of the holes in the dip stick were covered. I then dumped another .7 quarts (6 total quarts) and it went up to the second circle. Then dumped another .6 quarts (6.6 total quarts) and now it's full. I can confirm that at least mine took 6.6 quarts and it's a 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend with the 1.5L (plastic oil pan)
@markbogardus5 ай бұрын
@@IADHDD That is the correct amount of oil the 2023/24 Big Bend 1.5l engine takes according to the manual 6.6 quarts. I had to correct the dealership when they changed the oil in my Bronco. They shorted the change by a quart.

I knpw this video came out a while ago and is good info but why didn't you take the filter off first since it is higher up?
@bennieaust3 ай бұрын
Can you elaborate on why you should do it first because it's higher up? I haven't heard of that before.
@harrythehandyman Жыл бұрын
4:55 alternatively, install the panel after pouring in fresh oil, running the engine for a minute and checking if there are any leaks. I can see that the bronco sport owner will lose those panel screws quickly if they go to a quick drive through oil change shop.
@bennieaust Жыл бұрын
That’s a great tip for anyone with any leaking concerns. I totally agree, those screws will go missing in a hurry. Another reason to tackle this job at home.

I bought a 2022 Ford BRONCO SPORT and the manual for the 1.5L say “Oil capacity: 5.3 qt(5.05L) what you said!!

@@pr4lviper, I have no idea. The one in my video took 5.3. I have found owners manuals to be wrong on a lot of occasions, but I’m not the manufacturer so I am not making any claims on what yours will take, only stating what the one in this video took.

Would you recommend switching over to full synthetic if budget wasn't a concern?
@bennieaust8 ай бұрын
Absolutely. If you do your own oil changes the cost difference will be about $5. If you bring it in, then they will charge you substantially more. Either way, synthetic oil is superior oil and I would definitely recommend running it.
