Straight to the point. Good job!!! Thank you..👍👍

[@mariomora7773]

I'm 66, I just bought a 2022 Ecodiesel Ram, I have been changing my oil since age 16....now I don't need to stop: THANK YOU!.

[@anthony469msn]

Love your content, especially the hellkota, but I noticed a few things that need to be mentioned when doing this. First, Run the engine long enough to reach normal operating temps and remove the oil filter cap prior to removing the drain plug to speed up draining and ensure all oil is drained. Additionally, drain plug torque spec is 33ft-lbs and oil filter cap is 18ft-lbs. Wait time between first fill and first start is 15mins. Wait an additional 15mins after turning off engine to check oil level to ensure all oil had returned to the pan. Everything I mentioned is directly from the factory service manual.

[@EdgarBautista-x6k]

Super helpful man I really appreciate it. Beats $350 for just an oil change

[@AndersonFamily21]

Facts that’s why I watched it cause dodge wanted that price

[@MM_in_Havasu]

60 bucks for an oil filter is highway robbery. Great video/tutorial on oil change procedures for this truck/engine combo.

[@allbayfishing9456]

$90 at my dealer now

[@reaganhughes169]

Good tip on the remote start, mine prevented remote start when the hood was open

[@vernlochtefeld1626]

Locally Rural King usually has the 2.5 gallon (10 quart) T6 jug for $49.99. Rock auto online usually has 10k rated filters for $10. So $65 oil change. I do a quick change soon as it’s done dripping and it’s worked for this motor for over 400k.

[@frontleanandrest]

Your comment is 3 years old and I'm actually surprised that the price went down. Picked some up yesterday for $42

[@thanjroo]

I don't even own any Mopar vehicles anymore but I still watch all your videos John. It's good to see your channel getting some recognition 👏👌. 100k here we come!

[@db8898]

Thank you for the very helpful video! I have a 2015 EcoDielsel, and have been curious on how to do an oil change myself,instead of paying the $150 T THEDEALER.

[@rockingarchangel]

I use amsoil in my ecodiesel. I just tuned mine with the green diesel engineering tune. Completely different truck now. Better in every way

[@duckwacker8720]

As long as there's no emissions on it.

[@tim1862]

Great video again! Good mention about the remote start but I know my 2017 it has a default setting if the hood is unlatched it won’t work.

[@martinp.cadillackid3408]

.........and a great teacher! Thanks. My son learns so much from your simplicity.

[@cezarymalinowski1730]

Thank you for video. Helps me a lot. I'm pretty handy with big rigs and big Cummins engines but this is my first small diesel engine. You get yourself new subscriber.

[@henryg683]

Another fine job done by you keep up the good work!!!!!!!thanks for the priceless information also!!!

[@anthonyrivero2366]

I watch this video at least three times a year

[@garymcnemar6620]

Thank you, for youur continued content! Feels like we're friends or at least neighbors!!!

[@sunshinesallday]

Good video John. wow that a lot of oil that it takes.

[@shannonwyman2137]

Thanks man. Great descriptions and very informative. Appreciate your time.

[@ericestep9880]

Remote start won’t start with hood open! Safety feature!!

[@Dmgolfer22]

Yep or doors open.

[@allbayfishing9456]

Doors open is the worst

[@zingzong5]

I’m late Ik… but won’t drive with the door open either. Biggest gripe is these little safety features

[@patrickjames1080]

Great vid - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍 $120 for the mopar filter now at local Ram dealer in PHX - nope - go Brandon

[@willmatic84]

And simple as that 😎👌🏼

[@thsmit2367]

I have a 2018 ram 1500 2WD eco diesel. I’m at 80k miles. I tow on occasion a 6000lb travel trailer. Truck runs great no major issues and no mods. I noticed your oil on one of you videos was still a golden color. Mine is instantly black. How on earth are you doing it? I was thinking about the green diesel tune. Would something like that be the trick to decreasing soot buildup in the oil?

[@gerhardpet1]

What are the odds? I did the oil change on my EcoDiesel today before I saw this video.

[@jayer-su3hu]

I just got a 22 EcoDiesel. Is this oil filter the same I wonder?

[@richieatchue9129]

Gotta do the same today to my 02 ram 5.9L

[@stefan4804]

God you're a beauty, thanks for the video. Just got an ecodiesel. Do you still have yours?

[@tanner6859]

Any thoughts on using a different 5w-40 diesel oil? I haven’t been able to find any T6 rotella for the last 4 weeks I’ve looked, finally did an oil change with Chevron Delo 5w-40 full synthetic heavy duty diesel oil. It was the only thing I could find, I need to drive 800 miles this weekend, and I figured it was better than driving longer with an overdue oil change.

[@alexvillalobos7137]

New oil I’d definitely going to be way better than the old. Old oil doesn’t hold the same viscosity and definitely doesn’t lubricare as good. Something similar is better than nothing

[@adammanzanilla1196]

Thanks for the video.

[@matthewcampisi7359]

what do you reccomend using for replacing the fuel filter. just bought a 2015 ecodiesel and want to get everything cleaned up.

[@czar5fa05]

I buy the filter kit from Doc's Diesel. $60 for oil, fuel, cabin & air filters. Been through 2 so far, they are great!

[@deebodigital]

I bought my 2019 ram ecodiesel back in February from Kernersville dodge with a new engine. What happened to your engine?

[@CountryboyBOB]

Any problems with this truck? Great video.

[@AEeminc]

I have a 2016 eco diesel. Mine say 5w30 oil

[@advancedxdirective]

Have you used a k&n oil filter yet

[@forrestmiller4055]

The only comment I have is your checking the oil on your driveway that has a slope.....should be checked on a level surface.....but you already know that :)

[@duckwacker8720]

If you want to protect your engine it fully delete and tune it.

[@mattortiz8817]

Because you did it on your drive way does it make a difference?

[@robertross5261]

How many miles did you get out of 1st engine?

[@AndersonFamily21]

Any other vehicles videos…. Like how to change to exhaust filter

[@markoberlin2451]

Great video, thanks

[@SteffyHansi-kj5nu]

What year is your ram?

[@wapopapo1576]

Would it be bad to use 05-w40 Euro oil? I have a 2015 1500 ecodiesel and a oil change shop told me I bought the wrong oil so id have to use their t6 05-w40, but they didnt charge me for the oil , just the 45 buck service fee.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I wouldn’t be putting anything but Rotella synthetic oil in it

[@Bladerunner55217]

2.5 gallons is 113.00 and I gallon is roughly 60.00 dollars. Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought you said you got 2.5 gallon for 60.00? Thanks for your time.

[@allbayfishing9456]

His prices were pre-Covid. They skyrocketed during Covid and have come down slightly since the peak, but still ridiculous

[@Chimo204]

Anyone else have oil run out the filter when ya take it off?

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

what's the name of the intro song you use? Its sick

[@ErnestoBarrosoHibiscusWine]

Thank you!

[@dan-leepruneau8744]

Thanks

[@aaroninks]

Be very very careful using those blue disposable shop towels. They can and do leave lint behind.

[@markhartman7939]

8.5 qts. Capacity according to the manual.

[@joeycloninger5928]

2018 Ram Ecodiesel is 10.5 quarts. Not sure of the year on this one.

[@dbrandon4528]

MOPAR says to break the seal on the oil filter housing. Not draining the oil, infrequent fuel filter changes kill these.

[@AmericanSurvival001]

A little hint when you’re draining the oil on some engines you need to loosen the oil filler cap to let air come into the engine so the oil can drain out it’s like turning a soda pop bottle.upside down there’s only way for air to get in is through the neck of the bottle. And you do not need to wait half an hour I would let that thing drain for five minutes with oil cap loosened and Collett good the oil that is in there it’s not contaminated and it’s negligible amount I change my oil in less than 10 minutes…. People who use factory oil filters that cost $60 are “dumb“ because Mopar does not make filters they’re made by someone else and a stamp is put on them probably K&N who knows it could be found out the K&N makes very very good filters I would never be afraid of using a KNN on anything and I do multiple vehicles that is a ridiculous price you could buy six oil changes with the K&N filters if you wanted to change your oil more often LOL it’s a no-brainer.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah we loosened the full cap in this video and I bought the Mopar filter to compare for one oil change since so many people argue it’s different but will be using the k&n since it’s identical

[@joeycloninger5928]

Wal-Mart sells the Mopar filter for this one for $12 bucks where I'm at.

[@michaelneuhaus4432]

10 qts is 2.5 gals

[@LbLizard]

expensive oil lol only had enough for the oil ($180) lol filter can wait till my next change

[@stevesmith-ny8jb]

Other than porn, best video ever made. Thank you for the detail info. 5 stars!

[@duckwacker8720]

Put the oil in and start it

[@asheetuglasse]

First

[@cjv2131]

Thanks for leaving all the important info out very not helpful

[@MEENGUY2]

If you own an Ecodiesel get rid of it as they are a piece of crap with with engine issues!

[@emmettwheeler5793]

My father purchased a 2015 eco diesel new and he died in 2019 and I’ve had this truck every since my dad never had problems and I never had problems with this truck. I’m still driving it to this day and it runs good. At a 115k

[@MEENGUY2]

@@emmettwheeler5793 Sorry to hear on the loss of your dad, you've been lucky my friend with that truck and I hope that keeps going for you! There are so many out there that haven't been that lucky like myself that can say they are a piece of crap!

[@DanielSon69]

I’m on my second without any engine, emissions or turbo-related issues. Wheel and axle bearings?? Well that’s another story 😕
