Glad to help

What size lift on it? Any gearing problems with the 2.3 motor? Any other changes done with them 37 on it?

Didi you have to remove the driver's side fender-well liner? In my 2019 Ranger I always had to remove that to get to the oil filter. It was a pain to do without breaking the plastic clips.

Very helpful, thanks.

I’ve always wondered if some cars had a built in way to prime the filter and oil system other than pulling either an injection or fuel pump relay

Yea can some one make a oil filter relocation kit?? I’ve done my 2.3 and spent more time cleaning then changing it

Could you please post the part number for the OEM drain plug?

Do you have a video for spark plugs?

Check level? What should it be at?

Unless you have a vehicle lift, oil filter pliers are almost impossible.

Nicely done. Not a fan of Motul in this application though.

Flat Foot Crank - how cool!! But - does it work on a manual? Press all three pedals?

Yes, on some of the models.

2 questions? New oil plug? And, how did you access through the wheel well? Isn't there a wheel well cover?

Ford recommends a new oil plug for each oil change. The crush washer is part of the plug. Yes if you watch the shot at 2:40 and 2:52 you can see how we access through the wheel well. We found it to be the easiest way for the filter to come out.

@@winkydee No covers were removed in the wheel well to access the filter. We had the pleasure of being on a lift when performing this job, so that may have made things a little easier. The filter can also be accessed from underneath the vehicle, but may turn out to be more messy if you dont get out of the way of the falling oil fast enough!

What does flat foot crank do?

@bobogto540i4

Primes the system. Basically, lubes up the engine before you actually start the engine and prevents wear on parts when starved of oil. It's actually a must and a very good option to have. Ford had some good engendering ideas... go figure. I doubt Jiffy lube would know about this, so I bet you we'll see a lot of failed bearings, and camshafts, etc...

Hold up. You need to change the oil drain plug each time?

How does Flat Foot Crank work with Manual Transmission?

We are not 100% sure for the manual transmissions on the Broncos. All the manual transmission Subarus require clutch to the floor and gas to the floor.

Try holding the clutch and gas pedal fully down while attempting to start the vehicle. Most definitely try this BEFORE draining your oil to confirm!

As far as I have read, the 2.3 does not need to be changed unless it shows wear. The 2.7 has a plastic drain plug that needs to be replaced every time.

Step ZERO- purchase shop and or lift. I do not see links to either of these items.

The oil filter location on the 2.3 is an engineering disaster.

Wow, such a pain.
