I took a disposable aluminum baking sheet and bent it to fit under the filter and around the steering mechanism down to my catch pan. Works like a charm and I haven’t had a single drop of oil get onto the steering.

I want to thank you so much for this video post. I have been dreading the oil change in my 2023 Rebel after reading about the engineering debacle that is the Ram Hemi oil filter location. I finally got brave and did it this afternoon. It took 55 mins altogether with meticulous tarping and prep for this job. All thanks to you. Accessing the filter from the front is simple. I also invested in a 4-inch "oil udder" (look that up) and simply fitted it around the filter and hand loosened the filter (after using a wrench to loosen) and no mess at all - everything funneled into my catch pan. I could not be happier. Thanks again!

Thanks

Thanks for the video, as a current ram owner 06 model, I now know it’s the last!!

After having owned four rams and a Challenger, let me give you some advice, buy a PackBrake oil filter relocation kit. EASY install and never deal with that mess again!

[@TheresaLinkowich-wh6zk]

Having been a mechanic for 60 years I don’t need “your advice “. Why relocate when it is finished in under 10 minutes. ????

No rag needed….just use the baggie method….no rags needed…no mess….

[@billanderson4111]

Didn't show or mention that the gasket seat on the block should be checked and cleaned. The filter gasket should be lightly coated with clean oil. If possible on vertical filters, they should have oil added into them before installing, and should NEVER use a wrench to tighten the filter.

[@chuck7432]

thanks for the input. but as mentioned in the video it is not for neophytes. I clearly state that I'm sure all that is watching already do and know what you suggest is good practice. i wasn't going to beat that dead dog. The intent was to show how to "attack" the oil filter for removal.

[@NESig]

The filter's not difficult to get to at all. Oil just drains down on the power steering unit unless you put a catch pan under the filter of some kind. I use a flex funnel myself. The gallon size baggie method works reasonably well too.

[@chuck7432]

perhaps yours is 2WD? 4WD has the torsion bar in the way.

[@gone4days956]

use a gallon ziplock.

[@martys4814]

Use the bag trick….no oil mess…..

[@smokeysmith1282]

Anybody punchin a hole in the bottom of the oil filter?

[@MrMattMohler]

All the extra crap you went through and you still think it's fine? And I put a ball valve on my drain plug, I'm 14 oil changes in...

[@chuck7432]

not sure what you're are saying. thanks for watching

[@MrMattMohler]

@@chuck7432 The steps you took that were only necessary because of where the filter is located. It's a shitty location that makes a once simple task that much more of a pain.

[@MrMattMohler]

Have you done your trans oil yet?

[@msgmak1379]

I just did at 76k miles.You must take it to a real transmission shop to have it done. FYI....its not just the fluid that gets replaced. They replace the filter along with a new oil pan...it comes as one unit. Cost here in AZ was $1100. Sounds expensive until you look at what a new transmission costs.

[@MrMattMohler]

@msgmak1379 I did mine. Got a pan from PPE and now has a replaceable filter. Cost $287 +fluid that I got a hook up on... (fluid is OEM...) Wasn't to bad of a job, just allot of steps...

[@chuck7432]

no, not there yet. but thanks for the tip.
