How To Do An Oil Change And Fuel Filter Change 2024 F250

[@Bret-n7q]

Just bought a new F-250 6.7. Planning to change oil at 1000-1500 miles first time. Was wondering if there might be anything different about the 6.7. One nice trick on oil filters that are vertical, use a punch or a screw driver to knock a hole in the bottom of the filter. It will drain completely out and not make a mess running ing down the sides. Thank you sir for the video.

@@Bret-n7q thank you sir. I will use that method next time and see if if much cleaner.

[@Bret-n7q]

Holy cow…. There has to be a better way to design a fuel filter. Seems like they could make a filter with its own housing similar to the one in the engine compartment.

[@jaycanfixit]

@@Bret-n7q they should. This is kinda ridiculous

Good job, Jay! I just bought my 2024 F-250 Super Duty Power Stroke 2 months ago. I plan on doing my own oil/filter changes and fuel filter changes every 5,000 miles. I am also using Archoil as a fuel additive, to enhance fuel pump lubrication, to keep injectors clean and boosting octane, which may provide a tad more fuel economy. I think I will stick with Ford Motor Craft oil. What is your opinion of using the Motor Craft 10w30 "Synthetic Blend" oil? Thank you for helping us.

[@jaycanfixit]

I think it’s fine to use that oil. Just follow the factory specs. Thank you for the comment.

Great video. I pick up my new 2024 F350 Friday and plan on doing my own oil changes. This is my first diesel truck and was curious how many miles should I change it out. I’ve read 5k to 7500 up to 10k. Also should I change out the fuel filters every oil change or every other oil change. Appreciate it.

[@jaycanfixit]

@@diablz21 I try and change fuel filters every other oil change. You can always drain some fuel into a mason jar and check it. If it looks bad or has water in you should change them. Oil I change every 7000 miles. The light won’t come on till about 10,000. Thank you for watching.

You did an amazing job with this video man, will help out a lot of people. Whenever you twisted the yellow cap on the fuel filter to drain the fuel, how long it take to drain?

[@jaycanfixit]

@@KN_SBR89 it took a while. Seems like about 5 minutes or so. It holds about a gallon of fuel.

[@KN_SBR89]

@@jaycanfixit Thanks man! Getting ready to do mine on my 24

I just bought my first diesel, it's a 2024 F250. 2 months ago My question is, how often should I change the oil and fuel filters? I'd really appreciate anyone's recommendations. On the other hand, I'm not sure what to do. This is the first time it's happened to me with the exhaust filter. It's reached 85%. The first time it reached that number, it automatically returned it to 0%. Now I don't know if I should wait or do something. Thanks so much for the recommendations.

[@jaycanfixit]

@@eldelaparrilla4293 I change mine about every 7,000 miles. Fuel filters every other time but I take a fuel sample with a mason jar to test it on every oil change. Thank you for watching.

[@anthonyc993]

Ford can NOT deny a warranty claim due to what brand oil you use. As long as it meets the Ford spec, that's what really matters. As for fuel filters, I only use the Ford ones as well, but i dont worry about the cp4 as i no longer have that in my truck due to installing the S&S DCR pump. Nice truck 👍

[@jaycanfixit]

@@anthonyc993 thank you. I use the ford oil because it’s hard to find 10w30 diesel oil where I live. This is the only brand I could find without ordering it. Thank you for the comment. Merry Christmas.

[@anthonyc993]

@jaycanfixit Merry Christmas to you as well! Nothing wrong with motorcraft oil. I used it for a bit before going to amsoil.

[@jaycanfixit]

@ it was hard to find. No autoparts store has it in my town but Orielly.

[@KN_SBR89]

@anthonyc993 how hard was it doing the swap to DCR?

[@anthonyc993]

@KN_SBR89 If you have the tools and can wrench on vehicles, it is easy. It is just time-consuming. Took me 7 hours taking my time. S&S provides very nice instructions with all the torque specs and tool list. The biggest thing is to follow the instructions as they say.

[@RobertGoosman]

how many miles where on you oil before you replaced it

[@jaycanfixit]

@@RobertGoosman 7000 miles is how many miles I went between oil changes. The truck had 10000 miles. The first oil change was done at 3000 miles. I changed the fuel filters at 10k miles. I will change them about every 14k miles or so depending how my fuel samples go.

[@gregsmith455]

Why didn't you fill the oil filter with oil?

[@jaycanfixit]

@@gregsmith455 it sat for 2 hours with oil it it before I cranked it. You can put oil in them but it’s not a must.
