I would make one recommendation……. especially since you have a lift…… When removing the lower splash shield…leave off….hear me out…. When you tighten the drain plug and new filter.. lower the vehicle and start engine…. Maybe engine design tolerances are better now a days but I normally leave engine running for about five minutes….to check for leaks. However slight the leak may be…better to find out the drain plug or filter was not tight now instead of during regular driving. Yes may take a few more minutes on the oil change but better than later when damage could already be done. Just a thought. Good to know it is easy to do the OLF…good to see HEMI didn’t cave to the environmentalists and still uses traditional canister type oil filters.

That's a very good recommendation! I can definitely see that preventing issues "down the road"! Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!

Use to do oil changes in my 2014 v6 mustang but now I got a 2021 rt, seemed easier then the v6 😂 but after the oil change is done I just reset the oil life gauge correct.

Question op do you have to fill the filter with oil? Or can you just lube the ring and put it on? Also if you do have to fill the filter is that part of the 7 quarts or separate? Sorry for the dumb questions

No worries. Better safe than sorry! There is a ongoing debate on pre-filling the oil filters. I do it if I can, other filters are positioned so they can't be pre-filled. The idea is that it takes a few seconds for the oil pump to fill the filter, and during that time, you'll have no oil pressure. Obviously, no oil pressure is bad, so if you can take measures to reduce that time, it wouldn't hurt! So yes, you can just lube the ring and put it on, as most people and lube shops do. If you do pre-fill, that counts as part of your 7 quarts. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

I have yet to do my first oil change, is there a crush washer or any seal I need to replace on the oil plug? Thanks and good vid!

No, nothing like that. Take the plug out and put it right back in. Enjoy your new car! Thanks for watching!

I have a 2023 Dodge Gallenger RT with an oil volume of 0w20. Keep it up until I heard Hawaii say change the oil to 5w30 because you are from the Middle East. What is the solution?

@3DayWeekend 6 ай бұрын

You should verify in your owner's manual, but 0w20 full synthetic was recommended for all climates for this particular Charger.

Always check your manual to confirm. It will say in the section labelled "Oil Capacity". You can use the index in the back to find it quickly. The Charger we show in this video took 7 quarts.

What are these tools name someone please !!

@3DayWeekend 4 ай бұрын

Nothing fancy - just a regular metric socket set will have what you need. The only other tool you may want is called "oil filter pliers", which is only needed if the old filter is stuck on there pretty snug. Do a Google search for that phrase and you'll see what they look like. All of those tools are available at Walmart or Harbor Freight. Hope that helps!

I have a 2022 dodge charger Daytona rt and the engine oil cap says SE OW 20 but a lot of people say 5w20 is better ? Can I use se 0w20?

@3DayWeekend Жыл бұрын

If your cap says 0W20, then that's what I would use. Your manual should have a section about oil viscosity and might tell you to use slightly different viscosity for different climate/temperatures, but 0W20 full synthetic will likely cover everything from freezing to very hot.

This is such a joke trying to find the factory replacement filter for my 2021 charger r/t 5.7. Every site has a different number and says the number from the last site won’t fit. 4892339be. 04884899ab. 04884899ac.4892339be again. Lastly 5038041AA is said to be compatible but the higher quality srt version. This is crazy!

Geeze. We just went down to Walmart and got the one in their little computer guide! Typically the SRT ones are a little bigger and have a higher flow rate so if it would fit, I'd have no problem running that. Hope you were ablet to find the right filter! Thanks for watching!

That's an Oil Filter Tool (or Oil Filter Wrench). They are available at Walmart in the automotive section.

Id get rid of that catch can,,, just put one of those breather filters on the crankcase outlet tube. You dont need to be pulling a vacuum on the bottom end of your motor.

He always puts a catch can on his cars. I never have, but have considered it after seeing how much oil is caught by that catch can!

@cmscms123456 Жыл бұрын

@@3DayWeekend The bottom end of your motor generates about 3-5 pounds of pressure that needs to be vented, the vacuum that is pulled through the PCV system is about 15lbs or more.. yea, you're going to suck up a lot of oil. Block the vacuum and vent the crank case through a down draft tube
