@15:07 Back in the day (Decades Ago) when I did oil changes, when the filter was removed, I would clean the mounting base with a rag and then apply new clean oil to the gasket ring. Also I remember the day when on a Chevy, you had to loosen the bolt and the steel can came down with the filter inside it. Then you had to remove the two bolts holding the filter base plate so you could remove the sealing ring. Then you went over to the parts washer and cleaned everything, put the new sealing gasket ring on the filter base, bolted that piece back in, put the new filter cartridge in the steel can and bolted that assembly back on to the engine block. Hundreds of times. @30:52 When is a hood not a hood? When the dashboard says it is "A Jar"!!🤣🤣🤣

On that shield Ray the 2 bolts in the back stay in to support the shield and then you can slide it out. The shield is slotted. I'm sure you knew it but over looked it. Great video Ray. I think the clamp was for holding the shield from another mechanic.

I know you are right. 50 years ago I was working at a cab company changing oil and I forgot oil on one checker cab with 250 straight 6 chevy engine a put it in the lot for pick up and then I realized it had no oil, so I filled it and it was in the fleet for 200,000 miles. so oil does cling and interference like oil cap off and dipstick out is a good idea.

The engine shield on this Maverick is actually a two piece unit. The front portion of the shield should stay in place, the four torx fasteners get removed and only the back section comes off. The two bolts that were tight would normally not be taken out.

[@ethan6160]

Seems like the plastic door thing should open for the oil to drain and then the front panel comes off for the oil filter. I was thinking the same with back piece at first, but I think the front piece covers the oil filter. Can't really know without actually seeing it though.

[@darrinthomas9037]

Two comments: First the skid shield look like it had slots on the rear bolts therefore you can take out all the other bolts first and then loosen the rears and just slide it forward. Secondly did you notice the flex on the rear door when you let that vehicle down the Gap changed, to me, more than it should.

Yes front to get to the filter, and there is a nice hole by the drain to get it out as well.

My mom’s Corolla has the same thing and I always wondered how it worked. Thank you!!!!

[@garthhowe297]

My 2l Bronco Sport has the similar shield. It is slotted at the rear, so you can slide it in, and only have to hold up the front section. Makes it much easier doing my driveway oil change.

[@jdesaavedra0432]

I've only filled filters on hydrostatic systems because not doing so introduces excessive air into the system. No engine runs without oil when installing a new filter. The new filter fills in a small fraction of a second and it is not on the suction side. Go ahead and knock yourself out pre-filling inverted, horizontal, and cartridge filters. Also all euro style filters, including Chrysler, drain each time the engine stops. Geesh--I've only been doing this since the 1960s.

[@jimmyaber5920]

I have never seen an engine have a problem from dry installed filter. Years back as a Buick mechanic, guys that filled filters would have a Buick V8 not build oil pressure and rattle. The simple fix was to remove filter, add an extra quart of oil to make pump lift be 1/2 inch or less and crank engine over until oil pushed out at filter base. Install filter and it would be fine again.

[@jamessowards3822]

Ray, the shields on the bottom all down the length of this truck are to make it more aerodynamic to increase fuel economy.

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

People have been dry installing oil filters since they began putting them on engines. When you drain your oil you're not draining every drop of oil out of your engine. Your bearings and everything else still has oil on it. Generally you warm the engine up at least some and get oil pumped through the engine which also helps with getting sludge and debris out of the pan. Even if you don't warm up the engine/oil there is oil on the internal moving parts at least enough to protect the parts from damage for the one or two seconds it takes to fill the filter. Many older engines had filters that mounted horizontally or at an angle which prevented being able to put oil in the filter without losing all or most of it during install. Some engines like BMW have top up side down filters so there is no way to prefill them. A lot of filters today are next to impossible to even get to without having to tip, twist and turn them and have three opposing. You'd be wearing most of the prefill oil.

[@SeanBZA]

Plus any long standing the oil will empty from the galleries, and at start up the top will be dry, and even filters with inlet and outlet anti drain valves will not help, though they at least do minimise the volume of drained oil to that in the galleries alone, as the filter stays full.

[@riaanlouw1874]

And a few cars have the filters mounted upside down, near the top of the engine. Try pre-filling them.

[@legionofanon]

Remote oil filter kit enters the chat

[@MattExzy]

I just prefill my filter for convenience sake - I find I can hit the F mark on the stick first go, start the engine and it's still at that point without needing to top off - because that volume of empty filter is taken up by the prefill. But that's also because it's a vertical upward facing filter, I imagine it'd be impossible on any other orientation. Anywho, that's the only reason I prefill - inherent laziness.

[@johnb1658]

I guess you never heard cam gears grinding and timing chains rattling like crazy at startup from an empty filter when it starts! There is a bmw engine that the engineers claim the bearing failure was caused by dry start condition after oil changes. It’s worth filling the filter when it’s possible.

[@steverobi123]

Ha years ago my brother who is a great mechanic did an oil change on his 1970 Grand Prix and forgot to put the drain plug back in. He poured all five quarts of oil into the engine which proceeded to run on the ground. It’s not hard to make mistakes especially when you have done something so much you are complacent and on auto pilot.

I bought a 2014 fusion with the 2.0t a few years ago I was driving it around 2 weeks after I bought it and noticed I went threw a quarter of a tank of gas in 3 miles and popped the hood and saw one of the high pressure fuel lines blew right off the pump and you could see that it was worked on before... its no joke have those lines replaced after every service

Had I not found the problem and manage to do a temporary fix, she would have been out a towing fee in addition to the repair itself.

I change my own oil and when you have to lay on the ground under the car you can only take it on and off so much before you just decide to toss it in the dumpster.

My top 2 choices are Castrol and Mobil 1. My sick shift BMW used 50W Mobil 1 from the factory (ZF). The only additives I've ever used on my cars were Techron for the fuel injection system and clutch lube in the diff in my BMW 325i.
