Tuned 2019 F-150 Ecoboost Oil Change | EASY!

[@dlbangs]

Guys, there's nothing wrong with Ford's engineering of the drain plug or its location. It's your technique. Do not open the oil fill cap or pull the dipstick before opening the drain plug. It's spraying everywhere because you open the floodgates by doing that. Remove the drain plug FIRST, then after a minute or two when the oil stream slows, you can open the fill cap. Oil will wet the sway bar and nothing else. No reason to remove the dipstick until you check the oil level after refilling. With the fill cap removed, pulling the dipstick does nothing to increase flow or ensure a complete drain. Try it. Peace.

[@Dirtyharry70585]

In my 2019 3.5 tt, after driving on ramps- 1. Remove belly pan, those 4 bolts are 8mm, remove all but rear passenger side, rotate to passenger side 2. 15mm socket for oil bolt loosen but don't take off 3. Hold a 11 qt waste oil pan up against sway bar and with other hand take the oil bolt out SLOWLY for a minute, then drop in. pan. 4. Clean bolt and tighten down-Don't over do it! wipe up drips. 5. The oil filter can drain front OR rear, Fords cool pan is sweet!. Front if truck level, rear if on ramps like in this video, remove filter, Verify the oil gasket is on the old filter 6. NEVER use a tool to tighten the oil filter. The first time may need a tool but you should only hand tighten the filter 3/4 turn once it touches the block. I write the date and mileage on the filter since I do three different Fords. 7. Add oil 6qts 8. Start engine and check for leaks. 9. Replace the cover in step one, loosely start bolts then snug up one at a time. 10. Check oil level-should be perfect. 11. Clean up 12. buy that fumo tool drain valve.

Step 1 : buy Fumoto oil drain valve.

Legit video! The diversion plate is a great idea!!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you! And yeah it’s a pretty cool trick!

[@adamhulu6171]

Cardboard trick worked great thanks.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Awesome I’m glad!

[@daniellerodriguez2150]

I actually learned something. Love you guys

We’re glad! Thanks!

Thanks guys, great video. Little details helped me a bunch.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you! I’m glad we can be of assistance! That’s our goal

[@Powerstroke98]

Appreciate the video! My truck is a 2016, so I'll see if it's the same procedure! Actually, my first oil change is free, so I'll be doing them all from then on!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Our pleasure we’re glad you enjoyed! The first free one is always great

[@MikeTerry1969]

Thanks for the video. For the life of me I couldn't find that oil filter until your video. Mine didn't have near the pressure coming out as yours did. I too built a cardboard diversion to keep it from exploding out, but mine just came out in a normal slow flow.

[@brianmiller4466]

Nice vid. Tx 👍🏻👍🏻 You need to invest in a Milwaukee M12 cordless ratchet for poppin bolts like the ones on the belly pan. Or tight spots you cant turn a wrench. Absolutely priceless installing Banks Techni-Cooler and boost tubes on a SuperDuty. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks! And hahah I actually have a lot of the Milwaukee m12 power tools. I have the Ratchet you’re speaking of but I forgot it. Legit if you watch any of our videos hahah that tool is the most used for sure! Best tool by far 😂 when we installed the downpipes and turbo adapters on this beast. It came in handy

[@MDR-hn2yz]

Great video. This is one more thing I don’t like about my Ford eco boost. I’ve been a long time F-150 guy, but when the time comes Im dumping ford and not looking back!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks! And yeah they make it a real pain for what should be a simple service

[@JonathanLGN]

Don’t know if it makes a difference but I wait to open the oil fill cap/dip stick until after I open the drain plug with the idea that it would reduce how fast oil splashed out

[@RatchetWrenches]

If you aren’t in a rush then yes this sounds like it would reduce the flow hypothetically. We’ll give it a try next time, thanks for the tip.

Major problems is right.. my last oil change I took it in and the guy forgot to add in the oil before running the engine. Now my truck makes a loud noise when I start it from time to time. Doing my oil change on my own now.

fellas. love your vids! just got a 2018 so this is helping a lot. Are you guys going to try and do an oil cooler? or is that not needed? I know you guys are big into mods

[@HeirPlain]

Ford loves to Ram on the filters...

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

Agreed that Ford did a crap job on the drain plug location/direction. The answer for the DIYer is a Fumoto/Valvomax drain valve to control the drain.

[@RatchetWrenches]

That's definitely one great solution!

[@chadcovey1626]

Is it necessary to prime the filter by putting oil in it? Ive never done that... Ever

[@RatchetWrenches]

It's not necessary no but on big trucks it's not a bad idea to do that

[@unclecooper6593]

Do you still have this truck and how many mpg on highway

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah we still have the truck, the owner moved to Pennsylvania and we are based out of NJ that’s why it hasn’t been on the channel lately. I believe with his new set up (305 Nitto’s and a leveling kit) the truck averages 19-22MPG it used to have better MPG before the upgrades obviously

[@Michael_Scott_Howard]

Gee my new 2020 STX supercrew will a boat more work than the 1931 Ford... ;)

[@davidg11134]

Is it all motors that went with the aluminum pan or just the 3.5?

[@RatchetWrenches]

DavidG it actually varies I’ve seen 2.7’s with aluminum but the majority are plastic. There’s a cutoff date where they transition from plastic to aluminum. So it truly depends on each model for this generation. The 5.0 I’ve yet to see aluminum though

[@JohnDiMartino]

My 2017 3.5 has a plastic pan, I check it at every oil change, no leaks so far.
