How to Change Oil in a 2015 Mustang EcoBoost!

[@nearvii6745]

Thumbs up because I alway enjoy watching other people do there oil change.

[@YTMegiddo]

I just bought mine this week and haven't looked for the oil filter, but wholly cow!!! I've never had a car with the oil filter so easy to get to. I've always said the guys who engineered the location of oil filters never changed his own oil.

[@Hal0d98]

Thanks for the video! Helped me a lot!

[@BRIANBOBCHAPMAN]

COOL How to Change Oil in a 2015 Mustang EcoBoost! my 1995 ford mustang gt has two oil drain plugS

[@vspec20026]

The Mustang looks real good in the background. The best way to loosen the drain bolt is to use your feet and kick the bolt loose with the wrench.

[@markbeltran2938]

Good job Matt! 👍

[@ajvangorden1344]

Good video don't listen to the people bitching. Everyone has to start somewhere. Pretty smooth for your first oil change.

[@Crab53]

Matt, You need to re-check your oil level again AFTER start up. Oil level will drop on the dipstick due to the oil filter being filled after start-up. Then recheck for leaks again. You did good for the first oil change.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+53crab Thanks! I checked it again afterwards too.

[@MendicantBias1]

I usually hammer a small hole (with a screw driver) into the old filter to let the fluid drain out before removing it. helps minimize the mess!

[@scurfie2343]

I highly recommend buying and wearing gloves for oil changes. I'm talking about the cheap throw away gloves from NAPA. I have learned to use a long handle 1-inch socket wrench to loosen the drain plug, a plug that for some reason is over-tightened from my local Ford dealership.

[@cgomezgti]

the guy makes the whole oil change process more difficult than it is

[@Descatane63079]

I just wanted to say I'm a fan of your videos just wanted to give pointer to you for future oil changes and that is to "prime" (fill with fresh oil) the oil filter because it is a Eccoboost(turbo) you want to be sure not to starve it of oil that can destroy the turbo. just thought you should know

[@stuartharvey7677]

you should run the car till its hot first then drain the oil so the oil is thinner and drains faster and always change your drain plug other wise good informative vid good job for a first time knowing the correct way to do it as hand tight filter and little bit of oil on the seal helps the seal stay sealed but you should check the oil when the car is flat

[@lukesdoings7150]

I just changed the oil on my GF's ecoStang for the first time last week. I have to say that it was the absolute easiest oil change I've ever done. Ford finally put an oil filter in a place you can grab it and remove it without slobbering oil all over. I've had over 10 different cars and trucks in my family and this by far was the easiest. BTW, my oil plug wasn't as tight as Suburuwrxfan's. So, I'm guessing the service tech that changed his oil previously, must have over tightened it quite a bit. BTW even if you hand tighten an oil filter it will be significantly tighter when you try to remove it. The rubber gasket expands and creates more resistance. Also, on the Ecoboost Mustang, if you put the spec oil capacity of 5.7qts, it will NOT measure to the top hashmark of the dipstick. The oil filter will absorb some. The owner's manual will tell you not to ad oil between oil changes unless the level on the dipstick is down to the "ADD" hashmark. I filled it up to the top hashmark anyway just because I hate having a partial quart of oil sitting around the garage. Just don't over fill (common info here, I know). Good video!

[@lukesdoings7150]

Then don't read it if you're too ADD about it. :)

[@lukesdoings7150]

You started it... And now you are getting all butt hurt and lippy by me responding to you?

[@lukesdoings7150]

To TheXenon: Seriously, you really need to get a hobby or something. You are obviously not happy with yourself and need to insult others in a futile attempt to feel better about yourself. I'll pray for you even though I'm not really the praying type... ;)

[@lukesdoings7150]

BTW, TheXenon, why do you hide your comments? I will assume that you are ashamed of your statements. And you should be...

[@lukesdoings7150]

To TheXenon... I don't know when you hid your comments. I do know that they do not show up in the comment section. So, one of two things could have happened. Either you hid your comments, or KZbin hid your comments.

[@asatourianR]

nice video. don't forget about tire rotation dude.

[@connorsmith1332]

IDK why people are giving you crap about the oil choice. PP is a really good oil and it's not very expensive. Compared to the stock motorcraft semi synth in my Fiesta ST, PP made my car idle much smoother. Just a tip though, check your oil when your car is on level ground after it has sat a while. Better to be on the safe side. Get that valve man and it won't spray everywhere ;)

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for the tip! I did check it afterwards, just didn't show it on video.

[@Patriciaduhhh]

Thanks man! I just bought my first car (1990 Maita) yesterday and all it needed was an oil change. Then my favorite youtuber uploaded a video on it and I changed my own oil!

[@toroseye]

I want an NA miata 😢

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Congrats on your Miata and have fun! Glad the video helped!

[@lukelayport6653]

Just got my first car and it's also a Miata (94 m edition) got it about three weeks ago. Check out my video of it

[@Patriciaduhhh]

lukas bibboty I will! I wish I could get one but I only have to pay classic car insurance which is like $25 a month because its 25 yrs. you know how expensive car insurance is for teenage boys is I'm sure XD

[@lukelayport6653]

+Patrick rox yeah mine is like 80$ a month for the car alone idk how much it cost with me. I love my Miata tho great first car to learn manual and learn how rwd works. Also super easy to work on

[@season387]

I would check the dip stick when car is leveled for a more accurate reading.

[@robertoguardado6423]

Hey my man a few tips for your self went changing your oil next time you should where plastic gloves and also put a plastic bag under your oil filter and that will help you 💯 percent to avoid oil spell on you or the floor for sure 👍, love the video and always keep it 💯 kid !!!

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Cool vid, tip for the future, check the oil level flat ground. When your car is on the ramps you won't get an accurate reading on the dip stick the oil will be based towards the back side of the oil pan.

[@Tat2Dragons]

Considering the angle of his driveway, I'd be willing to guess that his Mustang was more level while on those ramps. IDK

[@TWRX_Chuck]

+Tat2Dragons Yeha you could be right. the driveway definitely makes the bias less severe. Good call.

[@Tat2Dragons]

+T-WRX Thanks.

[@jasoncee666]

PUBLIC NOTICE please start your vehicle and let oil run through system and oil filter for like 20 seconds. recheck the oil level it goes down. Adjust if required. Other than that Matt did excellent 👍

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Good info. I did check again twice after it ran, just didn't film it.

[@jasoncee666]

Good stuff mate. I once had a filter on so tight and those boys at the shop tighten em hard hey😵

[@SteveCJr]

Gloves will help keep your hands clean and if you do decide to run it before hand, it will help if the oil is still warm.

[@revoltedmayan6299]

are you ever going to do a review on 2015 dodge challenge hellcat?

[@MotivationDesires]

hi

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Stay tuned... :)

[@D0017-m5n]

+subaruwrxfan No no no no no no no! Don't tease me like this! 😡😡😡😡 Hahaha

[@revoltedmayan6299]

+subaruwrxfan awesome 😎

[@thetrickster2590]

+subaruwrxfan no don't do this to me right now.

[@professrsmokem4299]

Nothing like servicing your own car. It feels so rewarding.

[@professrsmokem4299]

It doesn't have to be that extreme to feel rewarding. As long as you maintain your ride, I bought an R34 off a guy who never really looked after it and he thought it was on it's way out so he sold it to me for next to nothing. 2 years later n I'm still daily driving her. Just knowing how she performs from when I first bought her compared to now, after all the money n work I've put in...that's satisfaction enough for me, and the fact that I didn't pay a mechanic to do any of it either is even more so. Good learning experience, and totally worth the time and effort. You learn to really appreciate them

[@The_Unkn0wn_5.0]

I agree. Even if it's a small job it feels rewarding. It's even rewarding to your pocket lol.

[@christinaokian3363]

+Subject 2i

[@wyliecoyote1696]

Also helps you choose the brand of oil and quality of filter.

[@TheWagonDude]

Good time to look underneath and see if any problems are happening for yourself also.

[@memetime4429]

Please do a fuel filter change!!

[@lambosteve1000]

i would use a jack when you use the ramps just as a safety precaution

[@vlenhoff]

With any sort of screw, you want to go counterclockwise first, then go clockwise. This will ensure you are never cross thread anything.

[@Rayrayman111]

Matt another thing you want to do if you have an oil filter that is in the upright position like yours is to fill the filter beforehand that way you're not running air through on the first start up. Some people might say it's pointless but better safe than sorry!

[@theunknown4772]

I'm taking auto repair tech. and that's what my teacher has said

[@Andre_M_3D]

+Raymond Korang I agree. I always fill my filter up with oil before putting back on. Of course mine is an upside down filter as well. Otherwise once you start your car back up after the filter change the oil level will drop slightly and as a result you have to add a bit more oil since the filter will hold quite a bit depending on it's size.

[@DaneFerolin]

use a breaker bar for the drain plug. alot more torque because its longer.

[@Tat2Dragons]

Or, if you don't have a breaker bar, just double wrench it for extra leverage.

[@Disasterpiece5150]

Best video on how to change your own oil!!

[@josegodoy4277]

i haaaaaaaaate changing my own oil because my cars so low , but id never have anyone else do it for me

[@TheIrishPhantom]

When changing the oil on my Abarth 500 I never have to go under the car. I drain the oil with an extractor and the paper oil filter is easily accessed near the top of the engine by removing a plastic cap. I'm also a fan of Pennzoil. 5W40 (Euro-Oil) is stupid hard to find in stores and Pennzoil is usually all I have to choose from. It still looks good after many miles and I don't burn off any oil compared to other brands. Changing your oil yourself is great because unfortunately most service departments are pretty reckless when driving around your car. I know too many people including myself who has had a car damaged under service care. If you want something done right... DIY. Great video!

[@EdoConan]

you should put the car on level ground before checking the dipstick for more accurate readings

[@InfiniteBeingX]

Can you do a 2015 Mustang GT oil change video also? None available for that yet on KZbin.

[@jacobn3160]

Infinite Being it's the same thing, as this, just add how much oil you need. It's not hard

[@garik907]

Love that mustang

[@MotivationDesires]

And I love Mclaren

[@garik907]

+ThatOtherCarExpert true I love the mclaren p1 its my all time favorite car

[@ducatijoe5133]

i put roryal purple in my ford f-150 eco bust

[@AZDESERT2024]

Next time use Amsoil Signature full synthetic - best oil on the market.

[@John_D2]

you should run it down the interstate and got it good and hot , then drain the oil..that way all of the contaminants are suspended in the oil when it's drained. I also let it drain for at least one hour.

[@mattdagger1480]

Just a tip. When u check the oil after u put it in you need to make sure your vehicle is flat/level. They way you checked it on the ramps gives a false reading and is incorrect. Do not practice this method.. U guarantee the car was over full. Not by much but overfill none the less. Always check your oil on a flat level ground. - ase master mechanic

[@dtownkid]

you're suppose to check the oil level after you start your car. I use to work at pennzoil when i was young.

[@MultiplexityGaming]

Thanks for the video. About to do this myself for the first time.

[@SephiVX]

One thing you should do is check the dipstick about a few minutes after having the car run. And that's some black oil there lol.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah I did. And the oil was only in for 4,500 miles! Unless the dealership has been screwing me lol.

[@SephiVX]

As long as it wasnt sludgy

[@transformersabc]

What do you do with or how do you take care of the dirty oil? It can't be thrown away anywhere right?So by changing oil by yourself. How much do you save money?

[@Tat2Dragons]

Most local auto part stores will properly dispose your used oil for free. Also, you can look up online where you can safely/legally deposit your used oil.

[@geoffreyolson9720]

You don't need to let your engine drain for half an hour. A couple of minutes will be fine. As long as you're changing the oil frequently enough with modern oils the detergents will suspend the residual oil.

[@Carbon_Video]

Thanks, now the next step: get enough money for a 2015 mustang.

[@james4v261]

good job he has a 2015 mustang

[@5hatter13]

I just realized this is probably like a click baity video this kid made. I was just watching to make sure i could change my oil myself

[@joshakaoger69]

its is amazing... recommended by many auto makers and exceeds expectations

[@evan937]

I believe him when he says he has never changed oil before. Probably only did it himself so he could endorse Pennzoil in the video.

[@ronmiller1794]

man that oil was dirty. you got a good drain. great video.

[@InfiniteBeingX]

Very awesome and thorough video on how to oil change in general and especially on how to oil change a 2015 mustang ecoboost. Gots to give the thumbs to ford also for making oil change on a 2015 mustang ecoboost so simple.

[@saleemchickoree1199]

Awesome video Matt

[@soapboxearth2]

if you pour your oil with the hole up high and the handle on bottom it wont chug. it will pour perfectly..

[@mrjn5786]

Hey i have a question. If you change your oil with your respective kilometer you should change your oil filter too??

[@victoroliveira3256]

You were checking the oil while the car was on a ramp.....................no soup for you, always check oil on level ground.

[@Aol8887]

It is not a difference. Try it ;)

[@Spicearito]

Yes it does😂​@@Aol8887

[@VietLe-USA]

what's the size of that black oil wrench you used to remove the oil filter? I have a 2018 Mustang Ecoboost. I think they use the same size oil filter.

[@alexeitikhonenko912]

Can you point me to the right tool for the oil filter removal? Can't seem to find the one you are using in the video that attaches so a socket wrench.

[@PhlBrs]

And now here's an instruction for a good oil change.... - take your car for a quick spin around the block so that the oil is warm but not hot (warm oil flows more easily than cold oil) - put a magnet in the oil pan!!! - let the oil drain, then clean everything around there, put new bolt in - check if any metal cuttings are sticking to the magnet!!! - remove the oil filter, then clean everything around there, keep an eye on where the O-ring sits - put the O-ring for the new filter on the exact same spot after lubricating it a bit with oil - put the new oil filter in - fill in the new oil (as much as the manual says) - roll down your car to a flat surface - start up the engine and let it run for about a minute (the new oil filter is absorbing about 1/2 liter of oil) - check the dip stick - if needed fill in more oil until it reaches the middle marker you're welcome

[@orion3706]

I had an oil pan like that and ended up buying a different one because of the size of the opening. I got a different one that has a shallow catch pan, but much bigger in area, that drains into an area below. Walmart sells them for around $10.00. MUCH cleaner for the driveway.

[@salomaj]

You're not kidding about that drain plug being extremely tight. Another reason why I like to do my own oil changes... Most shops over tighten stuff. I use the same ramps with my EB as well. Nice vid!

[@eisman07]

Good job for your first time. Pennzoil Platinum is a good oil. If you use any high quality synthetic, your engine will last a long time. Lately I've been using PP or Mobil 1, good price and you can buy them just about anywhere.

[@henryd1981]

Here's a good tip: always make sure that the gasket from the old oil filter is not stuck on the car. A few years ago, a dealership changed the oil in my car, but apparently the old oil filter's gasket was stuck on and it ended up being double-gasketed. The next day, I was driving along and started hearing noise from the engine. Right after that, I noticed my oil pressure light was starting to blink pretty fast. As soon as I pulled over and popped the hood, I found oil dripping and all over the place. Had it towed and they fixed the problem. I'm glad they gave me a loaner, but I was not happy that they screwed up.

[@RomeoTudose]

Measuring the oil level in a correct way requires the car to be also leveled. It's not a big difference I think but since this is a DYI ... let's add it to the parameter list.

[@CityZoe]

Actually the full mark was at that line where the marking are on the oil stick. It's not that second whole.

[@pedrof830]

I used to change the oil in my 86 Camry, it was a piece of cake, the filter was right at the top of the motor, the drain pan was facing forward within easy reach from the front. Most of these new cars are not nearly as easy.

[@Pr0Snipez7]

I hate how these videos cause so much debate. Great video anyway.

[@CV.P7B]

Good work!

[@MrRedskins0021]

Great video!

[@fritzkrieger3316]

Don't know if you did...I didn't see it in the vid...after running it for a few seconds, you need to turn it off and let it sit at least for a minute then check back the oil level and top up to suit. If you didn't do this or haven't topped up since, your oil level is more than likely below the mark right now.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I checked it afterwards and again the next morning to make sure it was all good.

[@fritzkrieger3316]

+subaruwrxfan ok

[@hawkeyestiguy]

Hmm, this video seems remarkably familiar to me... Lol. Great video! 👍🏻

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha thanks man! I appreciated the tips when I texted you too!

[@hawkeyestiguy]

No problem! If you still lived down the street, I would've swung by! Lol.

[@ascendantP]

Does the 2015 Mustang have a drain bolt washer? Didn't see you change that

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah I'm used to Subarus having that but the Mustangs don't.

[@Tat2Dragons]

It looked like there was some sort of pressed in O ring that seats against the drain plug to prevent leakage and to keep the plug tight.

[@FrederickHwang]

Cool video, man!

[@blueswin3]

Who's Chevy ss is that? Baller my dad just got one

[@CarattiniGarage]

You should check again after you started the engine because the filter was empty before and some oil will fill the filter an your level will go down

[@wholovesu2]

When should u do the first oil change ?

[@edgarflores9408]

DIY Brake Pad Change

[@Fahrenheit38]

So you didn't check level after starting? You should check oil level after checking level and then top off.

[@Ismail-Kaila]

I never tried it myself with my bmw 530d, Maybe i should

[@LucaCarMods]

+Iso .Anilir It's really easy on a BMW! The filter is on top, if you use an oil extraction tool you don't even need to jack up the car.

[@Ismail-Kaila]

+Luca Car Mods i have to try it then

I have a video series on servicing a BMW.

[@melsh2657]

[@Overkill213]

Props to you Matt for doing your first oil change publicly. Brave

[@atldesigns]

I'd also suggest chocking your rear tires.

[@miles0000100]

When are you going to upgrade the intercooler?

[@miles0000100]

TheXenon your funny little man

[@bikerdhill]

just a quick tip for your oil change, always check the oil after you start it as well, because, before you start it the oil isn't flowing around the oil filter yet, after it is started the oil is circulated all around the engine, and oil filter, checking level after starting will be the most accurate level reading

[@hugomontes3089]

Aren't you suppose to prime your filter if it has a turbo???

[@songofyesterday]

Does the plug have a crush washer or rubber gasket?

[@yngbernz9800]

Whats the red liquid called in the front ??

[@AwkwardSilenceNation]

Overall good video but some extra steps Matt forgot for people who are planning to change their oil: - Prefill your oil filter (if it is the type used in this video). Also, no need to snug the filter up with a tool, just do it by hand because the filter will tighten itself over time. - To avoid leaks, replace your drain plug crush washer. - Use gloves, oil can cause cancer

[@albert15986]

Good DIY, but for things like this you would want to make sure you do your HW before doing the video, left out important details like having the engine warm before draining, and changing the drain plug washer if the car use one. You will want all the oil deposits to be loose before you drain it other wish they will stay stock to the walls or the oil pan and they will contaminate you fresh oil.

[@Tat2Dragons]

I agree, plus your oil will drain out much faster.

[@falkentires55]

Handy tip for keeping your hands clean, put pressure on the drain plug as you pull it out keeping it sealed via the threads, until it is fully loose, then quickly pull it off. I do it every time, and I usually end up with almost no oil on my hands.

[@FatGuysRedemption]

Since the filter is installed upright, you should fill the new filter with fresh oil before installing it. That way, the engine won't be starved of oil on startup as long as it would with an empty filter.

[@antzyfi]

Kick the wrench

[@alexmorangelli3319]

Lol the Pennzoil reasoning is such bullshit😂

[@josielmojica8]

As far I as I've heard, it's a benefit to buy an extra quart of oil and flush out any left over used oil before plugging the car up for the new oil.

[@MrInzeo]

You prefer not to use a jack to lift the car up?

[@SS8styles]

nice, haven't had to change my oil in awhileee, but I just used the last of my free service visits on my legacy and they robbed me when I went in so this was a good refresher, def gonna be doing it myself next time. Also, that SS looks real good sitting in the driveway next to the stang, that should be your family car my dude

[@February54]

5.7 quarts for a four cylinder? Is it because it has a turbo?

[@connorsmith1332]

+February My Fiesta ST takes 4.3 and it's only a 1.6L. His is a 2.3L

[@February54]

+Connor Smith I have a 3.0 V6 and it takes 4.8qt. 5.7qt just seems a lot for a four banger.

[@albert15986]

The design of this 2.3L is almost the same as the 2.3L 4cl MZR engine Mazda used in the Speed6/3 and they also require 5.5-6qts to fill up

[@February54]

f15ms6 they are almost the same, so I'm not surprised haha

[@Ryan-ds2wx]

+February My Focus ST takes six full quarts with a larger filter. Not completely unusual, but it's probably because these cars are boosted.
