Because all vehicles have a reusable washer that only needs replacing if it leaks. Which is about every 10 years.

@@johncoops6897 this is not true at all I work for a oil change place, some cars require the gasket to be replaced every oil change this is mainly Hyundai and Kias sometimes Hondas, most chevys, fords and dodges don’t have to be replaced everytime a lot of them have a metal plug with rubber gasket, some fords have a plastic plug which sucks ass, the thing we mainly go off of tho is if it has a metal gasket it probably needs to be replaced so we usually replace metal gaskets anyways even if it’s not bad just so it won’t come back on us

absolutely. This is what every mechanic i know does, this is crucial in my opinion, the level will always drop significantly after startup, always reckeck and top up Very disapointed old mate didnt include this in his video

Also you get more oil out if you remove the old filter before the drain plug.

Its a good idea to check for leaks, especially from the filter once the oil pressure is up. Pre filling the filter isn't a bad idea but its not really possible on some cars.

One thing here. Overall pretty solid video but you should remove the old filter before replacing the drain plug just to ensure all the oil is drained and also on some oil filters it is recommended to pre fill with oil

[@fredjr.8691]

Lol, what? No, drain it out the plug first, then it all goes into the bucket. The same amount of oil is going to be removed either way. Also, you only prefill oil filters that are vertical, not horizontal like this video… otherwise it gets dumped out when you try to put it on.

[@Joshua-YeetRat]

​@@fredjr.8691 Lmao you read that wrong

[@EconomyElk]

Fun fact: almost all manufacturers don’t recommend filling the oil filter. It can induce contaminants which will imbed themselves into the bearings. I personally pre fill the filter on my car but in a professional auto shop they never pre fill the oil filter unless specified by the manufacturer.

[@nickyborrisino]

A few points you missed: Best to do oil change with engine warmed up. If car is jacked up at an angle, make sure that the drain plug in the oil pan is at lowest point. Also, pull the oil filter while oil is draining.

[@dominicekezie2011]

How long should I warm it up? Also wont the oil shoot out if its running?

@@dominicekezie2011 funny. You run engine or drive car until engine comes up to normal operating temperature. Then you shut off engine, jack up car at an angle, and drain oil. DO NOT change engine oil with engine running.

A nice trick I learned from a old mechanic is when the oil is nearly finished draining from the oil pan is to add some new oil from the fill cover and it helps get rid of some old oil settled at the bottom of the pan. Takes a bit longer but I have been doing it for 11years.

Run the engine for a minute to allow the oil to circulate and fill the new oil filter. Once you’ve switched off, wait an another minute, check the level and then top up. Probably drop 500ml.

[@flyingsavage8522]

If your filter sits vertical you can fill it before you put it in, also don’t forget to rub some oil around the ring before you put it on either way

[@PipelineF35guy]

Weird flex but okay

[@aceofshapes5394]

Depending on your car, you might have a "clear flood mode" that can be used to fill the filter without starting the car. This is recommended on Subaru's where the filter is on the top of the engine, and allows the filter to fill so you don't have a dry start after a change.

[@TadVarn]

On most engines, when you remove the oil filter, which is situated not completely vertical, like here sideways or sometimes even upside down, you get a good splash of oil down to the sump, because you let the air in the lubrication system. Thats why you should firstly unscrew or change the filter and only then, after some time, plug the sump back. You can change more oil this way.

[@oscarlynch9313]

That is one of the best looking cars of all time

[@wadeshone8238]

You can also replace the oil filter when the oil is draining to save some time

[@Ben0922]

Bro that bottle flip was cool👌

[@therapgame1091]

To drain the oil even quicker allow the car to heat just until the temp guage starts to roll up then shut it off so it doesnt get too hot.

[@Druid_Plow]

You should check oil level a 2nd time after running up to temp and cooling down again. Won't usually see a huge change but some might need an extra 1/2 quart or so.

[@Zazza62669]

You can also just flip the washer for the oil drain pan.

[@CPM_player.1706]

That leaf was pretty cool ngl

[@drrichardpaul]

The drain plug and oil cap aren’t always under each other. In most cases, they aren’t, especially with Mitsubishi engines. (Yes, there are exceptions to that.) Also, never, ever, ever use Pennzoil. When you take you oil pan off you’ll find more sludge with engines that use Pennzoil type products than with Mobil or Valvoline.

[@arrowcroft3123]

It also is easier if you prefill the filter with oil

[@sergeantretard7776]

Your car is supposed to be level and not tilting when draining the oil. There is a chance not all of it comes out

[@EnglishDrifts69GTxRED]

Thats why I use an oil vacuum to drain everything instead of lifting the car

[@svenrijkenberg2699]

That bottle flip was smooth by the way

[@WesleyAnderson21]

It’s always good to fill the new oil filter so when the car engine starts your engine isn’t running dry. If the new oil filter is already full, the engine won’t run dry for that particular period of time.

[@austincoleman4771]

I know this is nit picky but try and oil the oil filter rubber seal and put oil in the oil filter. It’s always something I’ve done ever since I’ve gotten into mechanics and it’s actually a pretty decent habit too get into for full longevity of your engine. Best of luck wrenching!

[@ibramguirguis]

One additional tip, change lose up the oil filter a bit to let the oil drain faster as their is about 400ml of oil still in there even if the oil cane seems empty. Good job

[@dewlemons]

Fill the oil filter will oil before putting it on, if it’s sideways then fill it halfway so it doesn’t spill out. It keeps the engine from running dry

[@quinson93]

If you replaced the filter, you'll also need to check the oil level after the next ignition, since the oil will fill the filter.

quick tip idk if its just my experience but I find removing the oil filter first helps get all the old oil out

[@juc3eoncs32]

Drain plug is not always in line with the oil cap, also you want the filter hand TIGHT not hand snug, and your ideal oil level will always be the max line. Not a little below or a little above
