How to Replace an Engine Oil Filter Housing Gasket - Ford Engine V6 V8

[@deanhaidar5894]

This video was very helpful to me especially with video fast forward, it was fast and right to the point. Thank you..

[@GameDogLP]

Just did this on a 96 T-Bird, sooooooooo much more difficult. The cross member basically cradles the adapter and the swap bar is just a cock block. I found removing the battery, overflow tank and moving the fusebox gave me great room up top and with the little peek a boo hole above the frame in the driver wheel well and with the help of a 2ft extension and a swivel 10mm (MANDATORY for both) I managed to win.

Awesome helpful vid. I was gonna swap my gasket out too but I didnt know you had to drain the coolant out. I thought only the oil but now i know. Thanks man!!!

[@supershark9k708]

Nice man everyone else tells me to remove all the junk on the passenger side tire break assembly and all that stuff this helps immensely

[@chrisroderick17]

This was a huge help when I tackled this job earlier today. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!

[@zohaibanwar5919]

that's a very detailed video man.... thanks for that

[@phatike84]

thanks for the video! I'm about to swap my housing gasket out tomorrow and this was an immense help in preparation!

[@jeffswanson5097]

Thanks for the video. Now I know where it's coming from and is a big help to see what you did, so I can fix it.

[@michaeltrubilla2522]

Great video, thanks for posting! I have this same issue and while its frustrating that I literally just replaced the radiator (new coolant) and changed the oil, I'm extremely glad it is so simple! Thanks for sharing!

[@EZBMX713]

[@wackoffflores7647]

[@armandoguerrero9715]

For the v6 it's a different gasket🚨🚨🚨

[@JuanRivera-lv5du]

Hi I was wondering if I follow the same steps for my 2010 Grand Caravan? I'm definitely having the same issue.

[@jmanxoom]

Super helpful

[@Djuane]

this might confuse some people because some of the GT's came with a oilcooler around the adapter like my 98

[@qmays34]

I need to see one on a 04 ford explorer oil filter housing gasket removel

[@wrhj66]

No drain plug on your radiator?

[@LA_Commander]

There is one, he just didn't use it

[@curtisdoss2469]

Where did you get the gasket from? What was the part number?

[@bluebomb49]

excellent

[@Budget-gap]

I can't find this gasket in a parts catalogue, where did you get yours?

[@MrBodean2010]

will coolant leak out with oil when it leak

[@LA_Commander]

It can, yes

[@FreemindCollective]

I tried to do this on my own yesterday and the screws were too tight

[@Constructives]

Do you really have to the drain the coolant and the oil to change the oil housing gasket ? Or could you just change the gasket without doing all that ?

[@Djuane]

idk why he drained the coolant but the oil definetly has to be drained because if not oil will come pouring out once you loosen those bolts

[@michaeltrubilla2522]

+revelationns The coolant also runs through the oil filter housing. It's a goofy design but if you don't do it, your coolant will rush out and enter your oil system causing a lot of problems.

[@Djuane]

+Michael Trubilla ya i found that out the hard way when i changed mine a few weeks ago

[@vondenballs]

+Demodu lates om 2005 GT; if you lift your car from the front with ramps or jacks, you don't need to drain the oil. The oil will go the rear end of the pan through gravity and stay there. When you take out the oil filter, some oil will come out but that's it. I just did it this way and everything went fine.

[@In_Rem]

coolant yes oil no

[@user-un6hj4hl7w]

v6 is different.

[@omarmartinez2846]

Anyone know if it’s the same for an 04 3.9??

[@kevinlegoreta4409]

It’s not the same I’m not able to find the gasket anywhere and the v6 04 3.9 has a like screw with a hex bit on it

[@mandoss3346]

The 2003 v6 is a different gasket,misguided us.

[@causechange]

It’s a messy job

[@bobtailsthecat]

totally wrong for the v6, different gasket and mounts, just be aware

[@vondenballs]

Thanks for the video, it showed me I could do it myself on my 2005 GT, which I did today. For those who have a S197, if you raise your car from the front to do it, with jacks or ramps, you don't need to drain the oil. It will go at the end of the pan and stay there. You'll just get a big drip from the oil that lurks in the filter. The pitta is the coolant hose. You don't have the space you have on former generation. You can't move the clamp like DIY shows on the vid. I had to unscrew the housing because in couldn't move the clamp back in place and start anew. To save some time, you have to do this with the clamp before you re install the housing with the new gasket; whilst the hose is free move the clamp all the way to the front and make sure that "hears" of the clamp (where you hook your wrench) are turned downward. Then install the housing. Then you can squeeze the clamp whilst you insert the hose back in place with the other hand. Hope this help.

[@zipper978]

What about draining engine coolant?

[@vondenballs]

I drained the engine coolant from the radiator before I started. I still got a big amount of coolant on my hand when I removed the hose. On the S 197 V8, the coolant capacity is 13.7 quarts. I had to refill about 8 quarts after the procedure.

[@andreinabriceno7411]

eighty or eighteen pounds
