Glad to be able to help you out. 😀

I cut the soft part of the filler hose to just a couple inches and re- clamped the filler spout (takes about 5 minutes). Now I can use the 5 qt. Jugs to refill from inside the dog house - quick & easy.

I did the same thing. Removing the dog house only takes a minute and also gives me a chance to give the top side of the engine a good look/inspection. Also, my 7.3 takes 8 quarts of 5W30.

I really appreciate your Ford F53 DIY Oil Change video. It made a huge difference since I have such a difficult time finding a place to change the oil in my motorhome. Now I can do it myself. Thanks!

glad to see you making maintenance videos again. I missed those. I commented on the last time you changed the oil on the attachment to the oil bottle. I cut the tube shorter for my situation but the shutoff valve helped a lot. Thanks for what you do. You are enjoyable to watch.

Good Video! SOLD! I have just ordered the Fumoto. I noticed you tested the transmission fluid when the motor was not running. I thought it had to be up to normal operating temperature with the motor running. One other small hack... I taped up the transmission dipstick hole, then cut a 4 inch diameter circle out of paper. I stuck the paper over the pipe, and sprayed bright yellow paint around the dipstick. Now it is MUCH easier to see.

Hi Ken! Nice to hear from you. We are still kicking around dealing with issues after back surgery last year. We have even intention of keeping the channel up. We have a lot of people who refer to the videos for maintenance. 😀

I changed the oil today in my V10 and used a. Pump that fits on your drill.. I put a five quart container on the battery and it fits perfectly. Fills it in less than 30 seconds.

Thanks for your input. 😀

I have just two comments here. First is the plastic bag choice. The best plastic bags for this is the ones you find in the produce section of the supermarket. They are good quality, don't leak, and are very pliable. After you brake the oil filter loose, wrap a folded paper towel around the top and put a rubber band around it to hold it in place. Then place the produce bag over the filter and put another rubber band around that. It will make life much easier. Second, the oil filler tube is not too small, the wide mouth oil bottle is too large. You can still find oil in bottles with the small mouth. Get some and don't throw the bottles away. Buy your oil in the five quart size at Walmart. It's a lot cheaper, and refill the small mouth oil bottles. You won't need that oil filling contraption you made and it's a lot easier.

Thanks for your tips Frank. 😀

Using a fluid transfer pump to refill is the only thing I would say will improve your process. Harbor freight has one that works well with the 5-qt jug and if you get it above the fill spout will actually create a siphon and go in after priming with a couple of pumps.

One note, always check the oil after running the motor for 10 min. ? Recheck oil, the filter may up to one quart of oil. You may need to top it off.

Be careful when you pull the oil filter off..recheck the torque on the oil cooler tube. Mine was loose and caused a leak between the cooler and the block. Loosening the filter may loosen the cooler as well. (Causing a cancelled trip)

You don't have to put new oil in the filter, it's a good way to get dirt in the engine.just lube the filter gasket and the engine already has oil on the moving parts inside the engine block.

@GetGonewithUS

9 ай бұрын

No you do not have to put oil in the filter but I do it for the assurance that there is no metal on metal when starting the engine. New filter, new oil and a cleaning oil filter housing. I don't see how you would get dirt in the engine. I have been doing oil changes for almost 50 years, on all sorts of different vehicles and have never had a problem because dirt got in the engine from an oil change. Thanks for your comment

Very nice, thank you. Why don't you use full synthetic oil which is better?

@GetGonewithUS

2 ай бұрын

Thanks. We choose to use semi synthetic and have since our 1st RV in 2006. We have never had an issue.

I always get a punch and poke holes in the bottom of the filter and let it totally drain in a pan.

We tried the Fumoto oil thing and it was so slow even after warming up the oil....hubby went back to old fashion way because it would take forever to drain...did he do something wrong?

@GetGonewithUS

Жыл бұрын

If it took 'forever' to drain, then there maybe a clog in the Fumoto or the drain wasn't open all the way. That would be our guess. Draining the oil would be a bit slower with the Fumoto vs removing the drain plug completely, but not by much. The real time saving is being able to drain it directly into a container. With other methods the oil spills all over the place and is a mess to clean up. At least on our rig it was.
