Afterwards, we discovered and pumped over 2500 gallons out from the pit, it was almost completely full... Osha, Dept of labor, Local Fire Dept, County wildlife, State Inspectors, and Epa all became involved... Yikes, all to save a few bucks on labor, that was then wasted in oil usage anyway, and then multiplied by environmental fines. $$$ X1000

Also, it's a good idea to take the excess oil that has drained from the engine, mix it with water and sand, equal parts mind you, and use it as a good fuel additive to clean the combustion chamber real good. Just some food for thought.

[@Patriottoo2]

I, usually, torque the new filter until it collapses on itself, then turn another half turn. That way the filter doesn't hold as much oil, so takes less to fill... conserves oil.

Should increase internal pressures as well. Good idea.

I'm sitting here watching this video and just laughing so hard at the... modifications being done and thinking, this has got to be a silly video cause there is no way he's being serious. I love this channel, pure gold.

[@hank-the-tank4146]

Thank you Ray. I'm a first time viewer of your channel and this video gave me some valuable tips. Regarding the oil pan drain plug, I find it handy to drill a hole in the bolt head and insert a cotter-pin to ensure it stays secure. Keep up the good work and know that when that phone rings, I'm trying to mimic the sound right along with you.

[@oscarjones5773]

Love this comment.

[@ThePoxun]

Be sure to use recycled cotter pins as they hold better

[@WastedTalent-]

@@ThePoxun They're easier to bend.

[@yournamehere3374]

Even better if you slather some JB Weld on it also.

[@ThePoxun]

@@yournamehere3374 In fact why not just actually weld the pin in place for total security

[@ThomasLeonard454]

OMG, that is so funny and scary at the same time. I lost it when you put dielectric grease in the filter, followed with a ring of red snot on the gasket and then put locktight over all that. A Great satire. Thank you and to your employer that allows you to do this.

[@stephen00brown]

If you look, he didn't really put the Lock tite. That stuff is too expensive .

[@Harry-zz2oh]

In the 50 years I've been working on cars and trucks I've never seen anyone use the red snot. I guess anyone can learn something new.

[@speedmaster001]

When I saw he dumped that silicon lube or seal inside the filter I started to think if I was doing it wrong all this time. When he applied the RTV and the loctite, I was like WTF! I realized he was messing with my brain when he said he started hammering channel grooves into the oil plug. You got me there.

[@olias2k979]

To be honest I have come across a garage some years back that used to operate like that. An oil change would regularly turn into a clutch replacement due to a worn shaft seal so while we do that its advised that this is done and we also found this while we were doing that. They got caught out by local trading standards officers sending a vehicle in for repair having already been fully stripped and checked prior to the action taking place. Company did what they had normally and added a ton of stuff. The owners were charged evetually with over 200 counts of frawd and d3eception over 2 years and went to Prison over it. That was back in the 1990's Im glad to say. Great video Ray, most enjoyable.

[@pierredupuy4242]

A couple of recommendations: 1. I would use a quick setting epoxy on the oil filter gasket instead of the RTV and loctite combination You used. You want to make sure that filter stays on nice and tight after all! 2. For the additional 40+ quarts of crankcase oil fill past the initial OEM spec 5 quarts, use 90 weight instead of the 15-40 weight you mentioned. That will further reduce the chance of leaks. Or … even better, moly grease.

Mine was a midas. They "changed" my oil. When it was opened up after it stopped running. Bone dry. Internal timing belt had busted too. The belt caused more damage than it being ran dry. It was a 2020 ecosport. Oddly enough, after calling to have them take it. It 100% disappeared from my credit report. No history that it ever existed. Strange.

[@chatrkat]

Great learning experience on a normally routine and boring oil change on a boring mini van. I took notes too, lots of good tips in your video. I really like he thread lock to keep the oil filter on, and it keeps the oil filter thieves from taking that one at night too. I like using the red better tho. The dielectric grease in the oil is brilliant, but why stop at the filter? I was able to get eight tubes in the oil filler. My Toyota idles so quiet now I can hear the guy next door chewing his Frosted Flakes when I leave in the morning.

[@jlbuildingitright7617]

Ray, I have never laughed so hard in my life! I thought WTF he has lost his mind or he has a personal vendetta against the people he is working for! ( You know.. I'll get you, you " You SOB " ). But the Lock Tight on the the oil filter is the one that did it for me. I can't stop laughing!!! Oh My God. Thank you for making my day. I have to show my nephew this video and and not say a word to him!

[@edwinscriven7808]

Thanks for the quality professional training video. I followed your guidance exactely and changed the oil on the church van. I had to stop at 40 quarts when it wouldnt take anymore. I looked for the cam phasers in the oil pan and didn't see them. So I added a couple. I also used two part epoxy to glue the filter on and the oil pan plug in. Can't to too careful.

The extra oil can be added pretty much anywhere: gas tank, air filter, tires, or just pour it over the dashboard.

I had a wife, literally a genius by IQ who called to say the oil was low on her 3 cylinder Geo Metro. I told her to fill it until the oil was at the full mark on the oil stick. She called back later from the highway. The car was smoking badly. I drove out to see what was happening. The car was throwing out an oily smoke screen like a war machine. I ask her if she filled the oil. She said it wouldn't get to the full line. I asked how much oil she put in. She said 11 quarts. She had put oil into the engine and checked the transmission fluid stick rather than the oil level stick and saw that it was still low. Called my great mechanic. He said just to bring it in. He drained the oil and it ran fine from then on.

@@boyracer3477 There was a young airmen (18yo) at my shop in the 80s that had a VW rabbit. We were outside at the break area when he pulled up leaving a huge smoke cloud behind him.

[@07imprezadude]

Funny experience I had at a shop in Marana, AZ. I took my vehicle in to have my A/C serviced for the summer months. As per the work order,, the tech hooked up the A/C gauges, did a physical check around the lines and connectors, and gave the car a clean bill of health. When I asked him about the cabin air filter, he claimed he had physically checked it. I smiled a wry smile knowing this dude could not have physically checked something that was MIA! The glove box must be dropped on my Subaru to properly inspect or change it, and I left the old dirty filter out while waiting for a replacement. Not a great idea, but at least it wasn't an engine air filter.
