[@Piratepeteoo]

Thank you very much for sharing this information now I might be able to do it myself Thank you so much 😊 😀

[@TheEddysGarage]

If I can do it, you can do it. Just Make sure you have a big enough pan to catch all the oil.

[@marshallrules1576]

Great vid thank you, someone who actually got the reset oil right. Saved me a small fortune

[@TheEddysGarage]

No problem

You are the only one that I’ve found that I could find the oil filter in Australia 45 yr old mum cross fingers I’ve done it right 🫣😅

@@coolcucumber2780 No problem. Glad it helped. Remember to give it a like so others can find it easily and you can hit the give thanks button as well 👍

Thanks I had to have it do it ten times before it worked 😅

Как же чисто у тебя в моторном отсеке, какая красота. Респект👌

[@donaldwayne4219]

Good video, thanks. Looks fairly easy to do. Good to see the mandatory dropping of things unexpectedly, 😂. A shame they didn't come fitted with spin on filters though. Oil reset will come in handy 👍

[@rodsleath2790]

Great video - thanks. Just two questions - what is the torque setting for the sump plug? Also I noticed you used 5-40, but my operating manual says 5-30 - does it make any major difference which? Cheers. And thanks again.

[@TheEddysGarage]

I just do it snug but a quick google says 25 ft lb. It’s hot here and a little thicker oil is fine. Plus it was on sale 😅

[@rodsleath2790]

@@TheEddysGarage Cheers for that! I have another question you might be able to help with... my service book says lubricating steering knuckle linkages and ball joints etc should be carried out every 20,000km.... but there aren't any grease fittings to put a grease gun on. Do you do any regular lubrication maintenance on the suspension/steering systems? The boots all feel pretty empty and dry...

[@TheEddysGarage]

@@rodsleath2790 I haven’t do it

[@GreenHorn1Acre]

Thx for sharing… save me some money on my next oil change 🤙🏼😁👍🏼

[@TheEddysGarage]

No problem. Make sure you like the video so it can help other people too

[@djt13831]

On my 2014, I had put the car in run position (engine off) and press the gas pedal 3 times. That's the only way to reset mine

[@craigmclean4510]

Thanks I followed video perfect thanks for posting.

[@TheEddysGarage]

No problem

[@michaelkimpton6631]

How often should you change iol

[@jeanpaulberrios5024]

Hi I have the same model always worry about the right oil quantity because on manual is less, so 9 liters is confirmed right?

[@TheEddysGarage]

I added just under the listed volume then top it up slowly after letting it run for a few minutes and measuring all the time

[@jovan.petrovic]

Hi, thanks for the video! Saved me a lot of money. I just wonder why after removing the oil filter there’s still oil in the housing left which won‘t flush down. I had then to suck it out using a syringe… is that normal? Greetings from Switzerland!

[@TheEddysGarage]

Yes that is normal. I noticed that it will drain down but takes about an hour or more

[@jovan.petrovic]

@@TheEddysGarage Good to know! Thank you for your quick response and help!

[@WayanDiarsa92]

Hey mate, i have tried it and still wont reset my oil life. Do you have any other recommendations?

[@SurfFX]

It did take me a few tries when I did it on a following oil change.

[@KMan750]

Mee too. Like six tries

[@SasikaSamarakoon]

Hey mate u based on Australia right.Have you been using enviro + 5w-40 for how long? Bit tappy on early mornings here in nz.14' JGC.

[@TheEddysGarage]

Using it for a few years but the Gold Coast doesn’t get cold. Did you try Switching to something thinner in winter?

[@Vziera]

How much is your mpg?

[@TheEddysGarage]

When I drive I get 9.5L/100km, when my wife has it it is 12L/100km 😂

[@Vziera]

@@TheEddysGarage I get 10.5L/100Km in average and I rarely went over 100km on highway. How fast did you drive to get that mpg?

[@TheEddysGarage]

@@Vziera just highway cruising (110) and coasting around town. if you want economy don't get a massive car 😅

[@Vziera]

@@TheEddysGarage Some people got like 8l/100km out of their ram eco though. I guess its kinda hit or miss with the factory quality control then

[@Aussie_Damo]

@@Vziera RWD will get better fuel economy then an AWD vehicle due to pushing only one diff not 2

[@bernardeades3384]

I have an allen key screw is that normal

[@TheEddysGarage]

Might depend on what year it is

[@vangrizz2584]

Steering wheel is on the right side? Where are you from?

[@TheEddysGarage]

[@renuadrian]

What kind of oil do u use 5w30 or 5w40?

[@THEDIESELCHANNEL]

Got to be 5w40

[@mountainconstructions]

No Dipstick check?

[@TheEddysGarage]

Of course but no need to make the video longer than it needs to be

[@mountainconstructions]

@@TheEddysGarage It's also amazing how people including garage services that over fill these vehicles

[@cosminceciu5433]

8.4 L ??? That is too much oil change with filter as manual 7.5 L

A clumsy person changing oil filter, dropping things. As I see a person doing that kind of job wearing wrist watch all the time, it's clear what's going on.
