    @15:07 Back in the day (Decades Ago) when I did oil changes, when the filter was removed, I would clean the mounting base with a rag and then apply new clean oil to the gasket ring. Also I remember the day when on a Chevy, you had to loosen the bolt and the steel can came down with the filter inside it. Then you had to remove the two bolts holding the filter base plate so you could remove the sealing ring. Then you went over to the parts washer and cleaned everything, put the new sealing gasket ring on the filter base, bolted that piece back in, put the new filter cartridge in the steel can and bolted that assembly back on to the engine block. Hundreds of times.

    First the skid shield look like it had slots on the rear bolts therefore you can take out all the other bolts first and then loosen the rears and just slide it forward.
    Secondly did you notice the flex on the rear door when you let that vehicle down the Gap changed, to me, more than it should.

    I've only filled filters on hydrostatic systems because not doing so introduces excessive air into the system. No engine runs without oil when installing a new filter. The new filter fills in a small fraction of a second and it is not on the suction side. Go ahead and knock yourself out pre-filling inverted, horizontal, and cartridge filters. Also all euro style filters, including Chrysler, drain each time the engine stops. Geesh--I've only been doing this since the 1960s.

    • @jimmyaber5920
      @jimmyaber5920 Před měsícem

      I have never seen an engine have a problem from dry installed filter. Years back as a Buick mechanic, guys that filled filters would have a Buick V8 not build oil pressure and rattle. The simple fix was to remove filter, add an extra quart of oil to make pump lift be 1/2 inch or less and crank engine over until oil pushed out at filter base. Install filter and it would be fine again.

  • @CraigGrant-sh3in
    @CraigGrant-sh3in Před měsícem +10

    People have been dry installing oil filters since they began putting them on engines. When you drain your oil you're not draining every drop of oil out of your engine. Your bearings and everything else still has oil on it. Generally you warm the engine up at least some and get oil pumped through the engine which also helps with getting sludge and debris out of the pan. Even if you don't warm up the engine/oil there is oil on the internal moving parts at least enough to protect the parts from damage for the one or two seconds it takes to fill the filter. Many older engines had filters that mounted horizontally or at an angle which prevented being able to put oil in the filter without losing all or most of it during install. Some engines like BMW have top up side down filters so there is no way to prefill them. A lot of filters today are next to impossible to even get to without having to tip, twist and turn them and have three opposing. You'd be wearing most of the prefill oil.

    • @SeanBZA
      @SeanBZA Před měsícem

      Plus any long standing the oil will empty from the galleries, and at start up the top will be dry, and even filters with inlet and outlet anti drain valves will not help, though they at least do minimise the volume of drained oil to that in the galleries alone, as the filter stays full.

    • @riaanlouw1874

      I just prefill my filter for convenience sake - I find I can hit the F mark on the stick first go, start the engine and it's still at that point without needing to top off - because that volume of empty filter is taken up by the prefill. But that's also because it's a vertical upward facing filter, I imagine it'd be impossible on any other orientation. Anywho, that's the only reason I prefill - inherent laziness.

    • @johnb1658

      I guess you never heard cam gears grinding and timing chains rattling like crazy at startup from an empty filter when it starts! There is a bmw engine that the engineers claim the bearing failure was caused by dry start condition after oil changes. It’s worth filling the filter when it’s possible.

    Little bit of that old oil on the underbody fasteners will help the next one to remove them, stopping them rusting into place.

    As a ford tech the belly pan/ skid plate on the Mavrick is split so u dont have to remove the front part from the front facia. There are two bolts forward of the seam, the lower/rearward part of the belly pan is slotted just loosen and slide back exposes drain plug and filter.

    Excellent video as always Ray.
    I agree with Ray on the electronic shifters..., I hate those things. My neighbor has a Fusion and it would not start because the "plastic" linkage disconnected at the transmission while it was in drive. I manage to locate the linkage and reconnect it temporarily so she could could at least drive it to the repair shop. Had I not found the problem and manage to do a temporary fix, she would have been out a towing fee in addition to the repair itself.

    It looked like the trailing edge of the skid shield was slotted so at least two of the fasteners could be partly inserted so the shield is designed to rest on the two rear fasteners so you only need to support the leading edge while you get one bolt in.

    I liked the tour under that Ford Maverick. I'm of a curious nature and seeing the "guts" of that new design was very interesting to me. It is well designed. Hope it can stand the test of time for the owner. Those harsh northern winters will test it for sure. Thanks, Ray, for another interesting video.

  • @Josb_Bluebird2143
    @Josb_Bluebird2143 Před měsícem

    On my 2018 Ford escape, I took all the under shield off. I change my own oil and when you have to lay on the ground under the car you can only take it on and off so much before you just decide to toss it in the dumpster. As for prefilling oil filters, the filter on the escape engine is on the front side and on its side so if you fill the oil filter you just dump it out by the time you get it up and screwed on.

    I while doing my own oil changes will usually leave the oil dipstick on the wiper cowl and leave the oil fill cap sitting on top of the engine visually telling me there’s no oil in the engine, because I usually leave the oil filter and drain plug out for significant time before I refill the oil

  • @paulgaerisch7041
    @paulgaerisch7041 Před měsícem

    It’s like an aircraft mechanic. They have labels or flags to remind them that something needs to be done beforehand. So pulling the dipstick and putting the oil cap over the hood latch is awesome. 👍

    On the unfilter oil subject most engines don’t have filtered oil till it warms up due to the pressure by pass in the filter

    Yes - I always keep the -50 degree washer fluid year round now. Now they also say the - is it still alcohol - but it kill bacteria that was proven to be extremely bad for drivers. Taxis pushed for that (it is annoying) but window squirter use cues recirculate - it is for couriers or taxis more (so I tell myself).

  • @garrisonjoe5977
    @garrisonjoe5977 Před měsícem +1

    Maybe that spring clamp had been used to help hold that huge skid shield in place during previous oil change while trying to get the first few bolts in the plate.

  • @bcyoung88
    @bcyoung88 Před měsícem +2

    It looks like there is an access door in the center of the skidplate for oil change access? Always better to remove it and inspect, but might be good for quicker services. You should have antisiezed the skid plate hardware since you know it's going back north...

  • @dhache1195
    @dhache1195 Před měsícem

    Always great to have information about specific model. I'm wondering about the oil filler cap; did you clean it well before putting it back? Because the ''latch position'' usually is full of dust and sand.

    Believe some of the heavy extra shielding is due to the FX4 package which is an offroading addition to the 4WD system.

    I had 300k on the bottom end of my vw, when I pulled the motor out and tore it down. After all those miles, the bearings were still coated silver, there were no ring grooves, and the cylinders still had cross hatches. It ran with Castrol synthetic is whole life. My top 2 choices are Castrol and Mobil 1. My sick shift BMW used 50W Mobil 1 from the factory (ZF). The only additives I've ever used on my cars were Techron for the fuel injection system and clutch lube in the diff in my BMW 325i. BMW uses clutches in the posi diffs, which need a special lubricant in the gear lube.
