I went to 2 places today to get the oil changed on my 2017 F-150 2.7 Ecoboost. They won’t do it because of the plug. I have to go to the dealership to get this done? Ugh!

[@DrivingIntelligence]

hello and thanks for commenting! I empathize with you! This is a terrible design, don't know what Ford was thinking. I took a look at your channel and I think you have the skills to change the oil yourself. Get one of these plugs, makes the job much easier and cheaper and you know what oil and filter you're getting. Check out this playlist regarding oil change locations and other service watchouts: kzbin.info/aero/PLGNsbVXzRfZPJ9P5nZ2nBPtK-p8e-HaxF

You can slip, I believe, a 5/8 tube over the end of the valve and drain into a pan without the mess. Much easier cleanup.

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Very good point

[@mrdddeeezzzweldor5039]

Yes, GM built in the same insane drain plug design into model year '15 5.3's (maybe others?). I found a similar drain valve 'fix' and incorporated a 90 degree hose that directs the oil downward where I want it. I'm sure any shadetree mechanic with imagination will see this fix immediately - to direct oil away from the sway bar and into the pan. Thanks for the tip and link!

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Appreciate your input!

[@ProCharged7.3Godzilla]

That is very cool. Love the ball valve design.

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Thanks. That won’t work on your 7.3? Wish I can use this on my 10th Gen

[@ProCharged7.3Godzilla]

@@DrivingIntelligence no sir will not work on mine.

[@robertaugustyniak7109]

That is a really cool truck!!!

[@DrivingIntelligence]

It certainly is!

[@barrygrant2907]

Ford has never given a second thought to oil pan drain plug locations. My explorer would dump oil all over the brake rotor and wheel every time if I didn't put a piece of cardboard over it.

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Their engineering has declined significantly. I'm not as big a fan as I used to be.

[@titanicfilmsbymark]

Nice video

[@DrivingIntelligence]

thanks very much Mark... wish they have something like this for our 10th Gens.

[@titanicfilmsbymark]

@@DrivingIntelligence agreed

[@theezeelife292]

Nice design. Maybe they could offer a screw on hose, maybe 6 inches or shorter, that would allow the oil to miss the sway bar completely that would screw on where the cap screws off. Yeah, its something to keep up with, but it might be worth it. Just an idea you could throw at your sponsor.

[@DrivingIntelligence]

it''s an excellent idea, and the manufacturer already saw your comment and the comment from Brandon Lee and are sending the comments back to their engineering department.

[@barrygrant2907]

Keep a short piece of clear Vinal tubbing handy. Slip it over the drain cap threads.

[@Armando-qc2gb]

I have a 2018 F-150 and I do oil changes. I noticed the drain plug is leaking, slowly it drips. Perhaps the drain plug is not seal enough and I don’t like it. Started to go KZbin videos to see to fix the problem and I really like the design. Will this new design stops from leaking? Will it seal good enough for not oil to come out?

[@DrivingIntelligence]

It depends on the cause of the leak. Is the gasket bad?

[@elcochiii]

Idk what ford was thinking with this oil plug placement, the plug is ok but i learned the hard way doing my first oil change, splash every fuc@#$ng where and made a huge mess , why not pointing downwards like all cars 🤷‍♂️

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Exactly!

[@bryangarcia2429]

How do we tighten the aftermarket drain plug onto the pan?

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Installs exactly as you would install the original drain plug.

[@scottmaday6167]

I have a '16 F150 5.0L with a METAL oil pan. Why did Ford change this? Stupid idea!

[@DrivingIntelligence]

Great question!

[@paulverstraete9157]

plastic pans...volkswagen and ford.....ill stick with my subaru and toyota with steel pans

[@DrivingIntelligence]

I hear you, I’m not sure which I prefer. I know in some cases the plastic heat cycles, gets brittle and cracks… steel rusts. My problem is this stupid drain plug design.
