Oil And Filter Change On A 2013-2017 Ford Fusion - Reset The Oil Maintenance light

[@alexthesniper1952]

Followed this video exactly for my first oil change by myself on a 2013 Ford Fusion 2.5L and it went flawlessly can't thank this video and guy enough! A+ Tutorial!

[@OnasaD]

These are the things they should teach in school!

[@stevenjames5874]

I can't imagine taking a vehicle to a shop for something so simple as an oil change. Being mechanically inclined is obviously a blessing

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

I take mine in because I don't have any way to really get under my car. I'm drooling over this hoist. I wish I had one🤤

[@cryptomomentz]

if its only $30 extra then sometimes its worth it to avoid getting under your car in the middle of winter and having to deal with old oil

[@TAZ95C4]

Love the way you're using the AC accumulator as a grab handle 🤦‍♂️

[@maxwelladams5114]

I enjoyed the video but that part was painful to watch

[@ernestlee9543]

I definitely cringed

[@teddysalad7508]

I was going to comment on that too. No wonder vehicles come back from the shop with more problems than when they went in.

[@jahla2k]

First thing I noticed.. Im like dude WTF

[@mohosyr6561]

Thats why vehicles come back more than once for most shops😂

[@MrTinovr]

amazing that Ford didn't figure out to put access openings in the underside panel. My 2011 Sonata has a little clip held "door" that lets me access the drain plug without pulling off the entire panel. So much easier.

[@TJzzl86]

My 2010 has these openings. Guess they got rid of them.

[@Naillio]

Much appreciated this tutorial 🙏 I am trying to save money anyway I can (especially these days). Thank you for showing all of us DIY people 😀

[@frankmontez6853]

Yah I’ve got the 2.5 L 15 Fusion SE and manual says 5.7 quarts and I filled it with the whole 5 quart container and about half a quart more . I’ve ran it for several minutes then shut it off and waited for half an hour and still past the maximum mark .. almost 1/2 inch past the max

[@dpo8bwee]

Did you jack it up from one jack point? I'm wondering if the excess oil was pooled and couldn't drain because the engine was at a slight angle instead of flat.

[@CombatDoc54]

Yes!! Thank God. Finally, the 6th video that I watched and finally someone was smart enough to use clean oil for the new filter's gasket.

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help. Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.

[@nodak81]

Why? Please explain how it makes any difference if the oil is clean or dirty. The oil doesn't help make a seal in any way, the purpose is just to lightly lube the gasket to keep it from bunching up while it's being tightened.

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

@@nodak81 the oil does help create a seal with the vehicle. I've always used the old oil but if there are metal filaments in the old oil (from your engine) it may not only prevent a seal but it could create small cuts in the gasket and compromise its integrity. The last thing you want is for oil to drain out of your car unintentionally.

[@griz3245]

Great how to vid. No bs or extra screwing around.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.

[@07fordescape]

Thanks Jim When you get a chance, could you show us how you would drain and refill the transmission fluid. Thanks

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

You usually don't get to touch the transmission fluid on newer vehicles. Car companies seal off the transmission

[@texassherman7093]

@@ohheydarciemae1121 for the fusion you should do it every 30-60k

[@miscellaneous037]

@07fordescape This reply is only 4 years late, but for the sake of others reading this in 2023 or later, the transmission fluid filter in some of these Ford Fusion transmissions is installed inside the transmission and requires taking the transmission apart to replace it. At around 10:10 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en2yanZ9i7GpbtU, the guy from Whats Next Garage show and describes how to replace the filter.

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

Why do you start it before checking the level? Does that coat the engine and then tell you if there's enough oil?

[@LockheedStarliner]

Hi Darcie... good question. The main reason for starting the engine before checking the oil level is that the new oil filter will need about 1/2 a quart of oil to fill it. On vertical oil filter installations like this one, I always like to prefill the oil filter with oil. It's not necessary, but a good practice. Also when checking the oil level using a dipstick, try and use a lint-free cloth. This helps in keeping the oil system as clean as possible.

[@EYVOAuto]

Great video! That panel looks very annoying... I forgot about that. We just upgraded from a 15 focus that was missing all the under panels... haha

[@wyattoneable]

I totally forgot about your other channel but I am now your newest subscriber. :)

[@livefreeordie7236]

Just what i needed to see. Thank you so much! Proud subber.

[@reno380]

I always depress the fuel pedal to the floor then while holding it there, I turn the engine over for about 5 seconds, the engine will not start and the oil is primed. Reason the engine will not start is because of wot (wide open throttle).

[@Harrell423]

What kind of filter? Size?

[@googleusergp]

My nephew's 2016 Fusion 2.0L uses an FL910S Motorcraft filter which is readily available at Walmart or online through Amazon. Make sure whatever filters you use have a silicone anti-drain back valve (that's what the "S" means in the Motorcraft number) as that's what's required by Ford. Otherwise, you risk engine oil starvation/damage to the engine. The OEM filter (which is made for them by someone, probably Champion Labs) is cheap enough and easy to find.

[@aaronberrett]

What was the plate called that you put your light on when you underneath the car?

[@tjmichael4900]

I need to do this to my 2013 fusion car but how to we properly get rid of the old dirty engine oil?

[@minivanmaster]

Every auto parts store offers disposal for the old oil, just bring it in

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

If you have a fish tank, you can just dump it in there. They'll love it 🤣🤣 I'M JOKING. DON'T DO THAT! haha

[@debbiethayer9939]

How you rest on oil in the car

[@builddestroy5704]

What tool is that you using to remove the oil filter and where can I get it

[@rs72098]

It makes me angry that I have to remove a cover first, very inconvenient. I wish my car automated the oil change. This process is almost primitive in 2020.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.

[@ivanhuizar4412]

I agree that it is very inconvenient to have but that cover is there to provide a more aerodynamic ride. It will give you better gas mileage too. As a new Ford Fusion owner I see it as just another few screws to undo

[@nodak81]

Just leave the cover off. You'd be lucky if that thing saved you $10 in gas over the entire lifetime of the car.

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

The skid plate protects your car's parts from crap. It's better to keep it on the vehicle

[@Canelosson]

this guy definitely knows a guy

[@theitineranthistorian2024]

excellent. thx, my wife lets me work on the car.

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad to help

[@ShadowRavenGaming222]

The little bolt I should be able to “break lose” isn’t moving at all. Idk if it’s stripped or something but I seriously can’t move this shit at all and it’s pissing me off.

[@cvaldes114]

Use pb blaster for any bolts. Works everytime

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

Also, make sure you're using a 6 point socket instead of a 12. That gives more contact with the bolt and will prevent stripping.

[@petergottschalk4524]

You're probably not holding your mouth right

[@petergottschalk4524]

What happens if you get oil on your hand?

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.

[@bobw3363]

I guess you would have to wash it off. :-)

[@jayankumar6915]

thanks

[@yaizkanta7162]

I like the MA accent

[@robertglenn467]

Does that cover really need to be there?

[@kingkwon8002]

Threw mines away months ago

[@googleusergp]

Yes. For one it keeps road dirt and debris from getting where it doesn't belong. Supposedly it's also for aerodynamics and fuel economy but I'd put it back more to protect the underside components from dirt and damage.

[@ifcinvestor569]

Good thing the Fusion still has a dipstick. I don't like the no dipstick idea!

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank for watching.

[@paulrieker2046]

I've gotten several tripods from Salvation Army and local thrift stores, either free and certainly less than $10.

[@sulkmahidonkeydek3424]

He just did an oil change without the oil cap or dip stick off.. probably didn’t get all the oil out

[@rickgaine3476]

You’re supposed to put some oil in the filter before putting a filter on the car.

[@dynaholica4274]

You can but it's not necessary. It will fill bro don't panic. Lol.

[@danweitzel4070]

He did.

[@darring.9161]

You can only do that if the Filter screws in, in an upright position. Otherwise, you'll make a helluva mess. It isn't necessary to fill the filter, just top up the oil as it gets displaced by the air in the new filter!

[@brentbrown9728]

This is opinion only. No way you can tell me that the .25 quart of oil that the filter holds will make a lick of difference. Filter will have oil in it before the car cranks over.

[@toptiertutorials54]

Never even mentioned the size of the oil plug, terrible video overall

[@jimthecarguy]

Your welcome!

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

He did mention it. He said "14 or 15" 🤣😜

Go and make us a video to show us how a video is supposed to be.
