Been changing oil on my '06 f150 for years. I keep a empty quart bottle of oil to draw off what I don't need from my 5qt jug. I pour used oil in old 5 qt jug. When I get 5 to 8 qts old oil (lawn mower, etc included) I take to recycling place. Love this video will help me on my 2018 after the prepaid maintenance contract expires to do my truck.

Now why did ford switch the coyote to 5W-30 in 21 and ford performance racing school only uses 5W-50 as does ford for durability testing. They then recommend this thin stuff for fuel economy and had lots of engines with spun bearings. I personally went to 5W-50 in my Mach 1 and it’s nothing crazy you pick up about 10 psi of oil pressure across the board.

Checked the oil and it was in the middle of the safe zone so we poured in the last quart, checked it again and it was perfect. WHY? Google said 8.9 quarts. Also used a wix filter and was a wee bit bigger than the one done by the oil change station, and better. That couldn’t make a difference though for 10 quarts of oil.

@hpkntnw Жыл бұрын
So ford switched to 5W-30 for 21 so depending on when your truck was made it got a mix of parts and owners manuals. I have a Mach 1 and I went to the track attack at Charlotte motor speedway. I asked the guys at ford performance racing school what oil those cars use as they run super quiet. He said 5W-50 only. He in so many words told me ford uses 5w-50 in the coyote for any durability tests or performance numbers. They then use the 5W-30 for fuel economy. My car since new would burn 1.5-2 quarts every 5,000. Since I switched to 5W-50 I’m a couple thousand miles in and it hasn’t burned a drop. It’s really not that crazy either it picks up about 10 psi of oil pressure across the rev range. If I were you I’d try a 5W-50 or at least a 5w-40. It’ll help trust me.
@scottyV1000 Жыл бұрын
@@hpkntnwMy 14 GT Track Pack took 5w50 so I stocked up because it isn’t the easiest to find - NAPA is probably your best bet. When I got my 18 performance pack I figured it would also take 5W50 but it takes 5W20. I still dump a quart of the 5w50 for the the odd quart I need. The explanation I heard for 5w50 was that Motorcraft oil sheer thins quite a bit so 5W50 provides more protection. I run strictly Mobil One so I don’t think sheer thinning is a problem. My guess is that the 5W20 is so thin that you lose oil through vaporization so to get around the consumption issues they are upping the viscosity.

Great video ARod on this common maintenance task. I'm driving a 2012 F150 FX4 5.0 with the skid plate someone mentioned earlier. Just two things for the DIYers out there. If you source your oil filter from a big box store, open it and look at the filter mating surface. Sometimes these mating surfaces can build up surface corrosion, and while that's not an issue seen at shops and parts stores where the filter inventory turns over frequently, it can be an issue at stores like Wal-Mart where inventory moves slower. The other suggestion is from what ARod encountered taking off the old filter. Check the old filter to make sure the filter O-ring came off. If the last person who changed the oil did not lube the filter O-ring and/or cranked it down like the old filter ARod removed, the O-ring may stick to the filter mating surface. If you put the new filter on with the old O-ring in place, the engine will leak oil like crazy when you start it up.

Opening the fill cap allows the crankcase to vent air more quickly, allowing oil to rush out of the pan faster, to carry debris out of the oil pan better. Some crankcase designs benefit from opening the fill cap, some do not because the crankcase breather system does a suffecient job by itself on those engines.
