Ford Superduty 6.0L Powerstroke Oil Change Procedure

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

My 03 Excursion with the 6.0L takes about 17.5 quarts due to the bulletproof diesel oil cooler that pulled the cooler out of the valley.

Awesome guys. Quick and to the point but also very thorough.

6.0 oil change done the right way. Well Done

Thanks for the video. I changed my oil in my 2006 psd today and saved some good $$ by following these steps.

It is always a best practice you use manufacturer recommended fluid types. Can't remember exactly what went into this vehicle but if it was different that manufacturer recommendations then it was the owners choice.

[@mrfreewayboy]

Nice clean oil change.

[@JuckFoeBurden]

You put the o-ring in the 2cd groove down? it goes in top groove. It will work there but sometimes leaks.

[@Zx9crazy2]

I do 3 qrts out of my first gallon and put it aside so I can adjust as I go if I make a mistake

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

Also the brand is up to you. You do not HAVE to use Motorcraft oil.

[@chapomartinez1323]

Beautiful Video!! but why not 5-20 or 5-30 my truck is the same as this one with 80000 miles which oil do you recommend?

[@jerrygonzalez7647]

Why you didn’t change the fuel filter, it’s recommended every oil change!

[@robinkimpton1560]

I had a calamity happen with an oil change to my 2003 F350 Lariat 6,0 diesel. I had a guy change the oil for me one time except in the process of taking the old oil filter out, he cracked - broke the clip on the top of the old filter inside the cap. He then proceeded to install the new oil filter somehow jamming it into the cap (in other words there was then the clip from the new oil filter jammed into or on the clip from the old oil filter in side the cap). At the time, I did not know what had happeed however, immediately after it was reinstalled it would leak and when I would stop there would be a puddle of oil left. I think he cracked something in the bottom of the oil cannister. But have been searching where it is leaking from since. Any idea?

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

Really only recommend you use the weight your manufacture says. Using synthetic is OK. The 5w40 may not be thick enough. Some vehicles do not like incorrect oil weights. Some of the Chrysler with a hemi will set a code and turn on the check engine light. I personally would not use it.

[@diannavasher1749]

same for F350 with a 6.0??

[@michaelsacy5849]

Have you had any problems running the T6. They guy who did my egr delete said T6 causes injector problems. Now that’s all going through my head.

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

Not sure how you figure it is only two-thirds drained but veryone is entitled to their opinion

[@blakeandrews5241]

Question, motorcraft 15-40 is recommended oil. But I see a lot of people using 5-40 synthetic. Is this ok to use?

[@JamesTyreeII]

Blake Andrews 5W40 is good to use in the fall winter and early spring to minimize stiction, but warmer weather especially with towing require 15w40 to combat the heat.

[@pavelfilinkov370]

Thanks!

[@rmtz59]

Those are not 4 qt gallons. They are like 3.785, so you almost need all 4 gallons. I let it drain while I change fuel filters and clean my interior.

[@bobl78]

If I was your customer, this would have been the last oil Change with you .. I want my old oil drained, not 2/3 drained

[@AmericanMan961]

+bobl78 lol you do know at the dealership prolly 60% of the time they use re-used oil right? not to mention they dont drain out the oil 100% either its time consuming. Oil is a thick-ish substance it would take DAYS to get it all out.

[@Dreg555]

+bobl78 For nearly 2 decades with HEUI engines(see; 7.3L/IH T444E engine), people have not drained the oil rails, HPOP, etc with no ill effect.

[@josephmcclary9667]

Nah. I’d start on the bottom, then take care of the filter while it drains.
