I’ve been doing my own oil changes for over 40 years and I never though to use a zip lock bag over the oil filter. Great idea! Looking forward to not making a mess next time. Thanks!
I use the 2x Zip Lock bag method, 1 or 1/2 gallon works well. I break the oil filter seal, turn it about 1/2 turn, slip on the first bag and continue loosening until the oil starts to pour into the first bag. I wait about 30 seconds until the oil stops, slip off the first bag into a waiting shallow pan I have to the right of me. I slip on the 2nd bag, and then continue to unscrew the filter until it's off, wait about 10 seconds after the filter comes off to catch any of the oil in the oil filter mount. Drop that 2nd bag into the pan I have right next to me and done. Zero drips, no mess.
Thanks for the video! I own a 2019 RAM 1500 Rebel and have decided I am finally done paying $$$ for 3 hour oil changes at the dealership. I feel more confident now, nice tricks! Thank you!
Just changed mine for the first time and I used an oven turkey bag. Worked flawlessly and the bag is heat rated so no worry of hot oil melting the bag, that will be my "go to" here on out
You really shouldn’t make sure the oil filter area is “dry”. The gasket should be lubricated and technically you should prefill the oil filter before installing
Definitely good to fill the vertical downward facing oil filter but on my 2019 Ram it very difficult to do that. I’ve just been filling it 50-60% and lube gasket
I got an oil filter relocation kit. BEST thing I did for my RAM, dont even need to lift the truck for an oil change. Oh, and one of those drain plug that you attach a hose to. Easy peasy
After watching your video near the end of the video, I suggest that you add lubricating the "O"-ring on the oil filter with a little oil. This method should be used with ALL "O"-rings, they should be lubricated with the liquid that they are sealing. I liked the plastic bag trick, I will use it the next oil change. Thanks
Big Ups to you on this video. I've changed the oil on older rams before but this was the first time on my 2019 1500 LL. That gallon big hack for the filter was on point. 2 drops spilled, which was me when I pulled the bag down. Awesome
Good idea on the gallon baggie... In the past, I would cut the sides of a plastic bag and drape that over the power steering rack (2012 ram) to prevent oil from degrading the boot and in general making a mess. I am in the middle of the first oil change on my 2022 (bought it new with 8 miles on odometer about 2 months ago), and noticed the new set up and the much much smaller oil filter.
I've got the same truck, thank you for the tip I'll try it next time. And great video production, you clearly spent time on it. A tip for you since you keep your stuff clean. Harbor freight sells an oil change funnel kit. It comes with screw in adapters for filler opening then the funnel locks into that. No need to worry about it flopping around when the weight of the oil is in it. Comes with lids to keep out dirt when not in use. I recommend
Congrats on best video actually showing everything and perfectly clear and concise. I will use this method on my 22 1500 5.7 for sure. I wish I'd seen this before I bought a slightly different sized oil wrench ( 2'13/16 to 3 1/8) Hopefully it will fit. My first time changing oil on new truck.
Appreciate the comment man! Glad you enjoyed the video. There’s actually a few wrenches that will fit so you might be in luck. If you have any questions feel free to ask 👍🏼
I don't recommend this at all. The VRT lifters in the Hemi truck rely on a precise flow of oil for a short period of time to make them perform properly. A change in oil from SAE 5w20 to SAE 5w30 is huge! the viscosity could change from 5.6 cST to 9.3 cSt. That's a 66% increase. The thicker oil would restrict the flow of oil in the lifters to the point where you could blow the engine up. Keep your oil clean-change the filter every time. I researched oil several times and have used Pennzoil for 30 years. My last Hemi truck was a 2006 and it had 215000 on it in 2021 when I sold it.
@@KevinDePoy-g7cexactly this. VVTI’s can become ruined by changing fluid viscosities. Theres a reason why its recommended. This can even ruin the Cam Sensors & GallieWays
@FirefighterBuell Great, thx👍🏼 Have you noted any reliable reports that replacing the factory drain plug with a magnetic one is definitely a smart thing to do?
more like,fastest way possible to strip your drain plug and start using every swear word in the book.i worked at valvoline for a bit and all the older cars that you could tell folks have worked on,had stripped drain plugs.never understood why people think you need all this tourqe to tighten them then they sieze up and strip lol
@@donvanderhorst484 oh since you worked at a pull up oil change shop you know exactly what goes on… you realize heat expands and cool down shrinks metal every time you start the car so you don’t have to ‘double wrench’ when tightening the bolt. There is no issue using a double wrench technique when LOOSENING your stud. That’s what he is doing in the video.
I use that Wix filter and have the same oil wrench... but I use Mobil1 0-W20. I'm only an inch taller than you and need that ladder and do NOT have it lifted. I still fit underneath it though. :)
I get a piece of extra wide aluminum heavy duty foil. Feed it up between the rack and the axle guided underneath the oil filter and when it drains it gets all over the aluminum foil. Swap the oil filter. Pull the aluminum foil out and you're all good
Do you run synthetic oil or conventional in the 5.7 hemi? I have a 2020 and the dealership says conventional is fine but everything online says you should only run full synthetic? I’m concerned I should switch to synthetic?
I like the ziplock gallon bag idea, very smart decision there. Can you tell me two things (non oil change related)? Is that a LINE X bed liner, and what kind of wheels you got on your truck?
thanks for the video - great idea on the bag. moving to doing my own oil change vs paying my mechanic to do it. I like him, but can save $ and know I'm on the oil I want... was hoping there'd be a bit more room, but beats trying to change the oil in my 2006 toyota...
Nice Video!! Just wondering did you fill the oil filter with oil first or did you screw it on as is out the box? Some say you must do that some say it doesn't matter. Curious as to what you did Thanks
How do you decide what oil to put in the truck? I just follow what the manual says. For me, the manual recommends 0w20 oil. I see allot of people putting 5w20 and 5w30.
Trying to decide on headlights now and noticed you dropped the alpharexx headlights for VLAND ones and I’m suprised. How come ? I was thinking I’d get the alphas but did you have an issue
The alphas are fantastic lights. I did it for pure aesthetic reasons considering they have chrome and my truck doesn’t have any chrome on it. Plus I was able to sell the alphas for $400 more than what I got the custom vlands for. The new Alpharex novas look amazing!
😬hey pals !!! I have a situation here. I have a 2021 ram v6. U was doing the oil change on my truck , its first oil change . I have had many different cars and ford trucks and alway do the oil change and ive been doing it for 20 years. So the plug on this ram was very tight . I start loosing it little by litthe taping the end of the my wrench to not damaged the bolt. Once llit was loose woth no issues , i drained the oil and start putting the plug back. Once i got to a tight poin BY ONE HAND I gave it another little tight by hand and the oil pan cracked like aboit 6 inches . The crack runs right through the bolt threat 3 inches on each side. Never knew about something like this happening. Man is this made of cardboard or what ?
Ok, question about that drain plug valve. I looked it up on Amazon but I'm curious if the sway bar is in the way too much for it to fit properly. As it is, the sway bar makes it a pain in the ass to get a socket on without lowering the sway bar. Your thoughts?
I changed the oil in my truck exactly one time. I said f*** it after that. I'll go to jiffy lube. Which sucks because I kind of enjoy changing my own oil however this truck is a nightmare. No matter what you do you're going to make a huge mess.
Fund fact: 12-point wrenches and sockets will also work on square nuts and plugs. For instance, a 7/16" 12-point socket works great on the 3/8" square oil drain plugs on small engines.
I use to always hand tighten but this truck and my car leak oil if I don't tighten the oil filter with whatever you can tighten it with safely without damaging the filter. Out of all the vehicles I've owned this oil filter location is horrible and the worst.
Well for one the timer on the truck was up. And two, it was the first oil change since I got it from the dealer used. I dont know when they actually changed it or what they used so it was more piece of mind.
I personally do not think “most” high quality synthetic motor oils are too different in terms of engine wear and longevity. Everyone has a story on how they’ve used a specific oil for 300k miles. That being said the pennzoil platinum seemed to be most popular option for the hemi and a very budget friendly option so I went that route. If I did it again I’d choose the Platinum Pennzoil.
Use Amsoil if it’s too much money next best oil is the pennzoil ULTRA , next best oil in the market for sure. I use ultra on all my Toyotas and amsoil for my Ram limited, these hemis hate to idle so make sure to use the best oil for engine wear.
An oil that is testing out really well is Valvoline Advanced. Avoid Mobile 1 because the additive package is really quite weak. Pennsoil Ultra looks good too but a little harder to find for now
I had plans to use it but Amazon sent the wrong one. I didn’t realize it till after the oil was drained and I tried to put it on but the threads didn’t line up.
@Firefighter Buell put one on if you haven't already. That crossmember will be a non issue. Drain right into an empty jug, put the cap on and you're done
Man, that oil was very black. Something is wrong if it got that way at 4000 miles. Also, I only know of one thing that could cause oil in the air intake, the crankcase ventilation system. Check your PCV valve.
These trucks are known for it. Give it a Google search. And that was indeed 4k miles. I’ve done many oil changes and there was nothing any different about this oil than others.
The best one to use is the Fumoto # F106SX. It's shorter and won't interfere with the stabilizer bar. The nozzle comes out the side and can be rotated 360 degrees in any direction before tightening down.
The oil catch can oil shouldn't be put back in to your truck. The purpose of the catch can is to remove crude and anything that shouldn't be cycling through your crank case. I'd empty the catch can into your oil catch next time. Otherwise you're throwing bad oil back in with the new oil change.
I think you’re mistaken on what’s going on in the video. That’s an empty container that the old oil is being dumped into. By no means would I put the old oil back in the truck.
To be honest with you if it gave any performance boost it’s not big enough to tell the difference. Although I rarely, and I mean RARELY go full throttle in my truck the times I did I didn’t feel much of a difference. The sound however is MUCH better! Woke the engine up big time!
If you cut one of the corners off the bottom of the ziplock bag then use a zip tie to tie the opposite bottom corner off so it forms kind of a pastry bag/ funnel shape. Use another zip tie to zip tie the bag around the oil filter tightly. Slide a phillips head screw driver through the hole in the corner of the bag you cut out. Using a small hammer GENTLY TAP a hole in the bottom of the filter.Remove the screw driver and let the oil flow out of the filter, into the bag and out the hole into your oil tray. You'll have to loosen the oil filter in 2 or 3 steps without removing it completely for all the oil to drain. Then remove the filter completely and wipe off the mating surface on the engine block. Not one drop of oil spilled and no mess whatsoever. Changed my oil several times using this method and haven't spilled a drop.
I’ve been doing my own oil changes for over 40 years and I never though to use a zip lock bag over the oil filter. Great idea! Looking forward to not making a mess next time. Thanks!
Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to watch! ✊🏼
Same here @@FirefighterBuell
I used the bag and still made a mess 🙄 Gotta make absolute certain the bag is way up, held, and positioned properly.
I use the 2x Zip Lock bag method, 1 or 1/2 gallon works well. I break the oil filter seal, turn it about 1/2 turn, slip on the first bag and continue loosening until the oil starts to pour into the first bag. I wait about 30 seconds until the oil stops, slip off the first bag into a waiting shallow pan I have to the right of me.

Drop that 2nd bag into the pan I have right next to me and done. Zero drips, no mess.
The step by step oil change was good for a first timer. 👍
Love to hear it!!

Amazing man, I’m glad it helped and thank you for watching!
I pay $150 for premium oil and service which is done in 30 minutes. Valvoline express oil changes are awesome and convenient
And now I pay $60 for premium oil and filter and get to feel accomplished doing it myself 😊
@anidejohansen3894 you can’t beat that!!
Just changed mine for the first time and I used an oven turkey bag. Worked flawlessly and the bag is heat rated so no worry of hot oil melting the bag, that will be my "go to" here on out
That’s an awesome idea!!
Thanks! I'll do this next time. The oil went right through my plastic bag.
@Ebrock89-wr5ws ya ive used this method twice now on my Ram and it has worked flawlessly both times
That has to be the cleanest filter removal I've seen on YT. Amazing job. I'm about 2 weeks from my first change on my '23 and I'm dreading it. Thanks.
Thank you brother! I appreciate it!!
I did my first oil change like that at 1,000 miles and went with a Pacbrake relocation kit now no mess and 15 min oil change.
Smart man!
Luckily I live off dirt roads so don't give 2 craps about getting my undercarriage dirty but the oil filter was hard to find. Thanks for the upload!
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching!
You really shouldn’t make sure the oil filter area is “dry”. The gasket should be lubricated and technically you should prefill the oil filter before installing
Thanks for the tip!
It’s not a diesel 😂
If an oil filter hangs, I always prefill with oil.
Definitely good to fill the vertical downward facing oil filter but on my 2019 Ram it very difficult to do that. I’ve just been filling it 50-60% and lube gasket

I hope you’re lubing the top of the new filter with fresh oil, I definitely didn’t see you mention that important step.
I will be changing the oil myself on my 2021 bighorn 5.7 thanks to this video

1st oil change on my ram bighorn .. thanx for the ziploc bag tip... so obvious but never would have thought to do that
Awesome! Glad it helped out!!
Great job removing that filter. Thanks for posting.
Anytime!! Thanks for watching!
I'm guessing we don't need to add a washer to the drain plug?? Just replace the drain plug as is?? Great video, keep up the good work ✔️👌
Factory drain plug should be fine as is in most cases.
@FirefighterBuell Great, thx👍🏼 Have you noted any reliable reports that replacing the factory drain plug with a magnetic one is definitely a smart thing to do?
Excellent idea to use plastic gallon bag for capturing oil around filter. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!!
When using the ziploc bag method, please wait for the oil to cool a bit because the hot oil will burn the hell out of you!
Good luck 👍🏼
Very good point! Personally I did it in the morning before driving anywhere but that’s definitely something to be aware of.
True I like my oil a little warm but not hot. Definitely not cold tho.
Hi. So much data advising 5-20 full synthetic oil. My 2024 book recommends 0-20. Is there a reason to go with 5-20? Thanks

Used a 12 point wrench on a 6 point bolt.... Hmmm.

I spent the money and put a oil filter relocation kit, so much nicer now
I’ve seen that as well but it’s not too much of a hassle doing this every 6 months or so
What brand of relocation kit did you use and did the kit affect your oil pressure?
A plastic party cup works well too
Why MUSIC ?
Gotta set the mood
are you sure that oil filter is a replacement for the mopar one? (WIX 57060XP)
The one I used in this video is the one for this engine. That’s correct
that's a cool tile you have, could you share what tire is it? is it good for backcountry/ offroading?
They are Kenda Klever RT tires. I have never done any off roading with them but they drive very nice.
I am hoping you will be showing the 3.6 pentastar, but so far it’s looking like a 5.7 hemi
If I had a 3.6 I would but I don’t. Sorry!

Why did you change your oil at 4000 miles I just ran my ram over 8000 miles and still had life left in my oil change
Well for one the timer on the truck was up. And two, it was the first oil change since I got it from the dealer used. I dont know when they actually changed it or what they used so it was more piece of mind.

I didn’t know that i can use a full synthetic oil on my 2019 ram 1500,
Did you ever end up installing the oil quick release? Also do you have the link to where you got the catch can?
Nope I returned it because it was the wrong part # and haven’t had to do an oil change since then
I’ve heard of instances where they have failed and people lost their oil. Great idea but makes me nervous
What was the point of the Fumoto valve if you weren't using it?
I had plans to use it but Amazon sent the wrong one. I didn’t realize it till after the oil was drained and I tried to put it on but the threads didn’t line up.
@Firefighter Buell put one on if you haven't already. That crossmember will be a non issue. Drain right into an empty jug, put the cap on and you're done
Man, that oil was very black. Something is wrong if it got that way at 4000 miles. Also, I only know of one thing that could cause oil in the air intake, the crankcase ventilation system. Check your PCV valve.
These trucks are known for it. Give it a Google search. And that was indeed 4k miles. I’ve done many oil changes and there was nothing any different about this oil than others.
Is that f104n valve the correct one for a hemi on 22 models? Thanks
I’m not sure of the correct one. I was sent the wrong one and I decided to do away with installing it.
The best one to use is the Fumoto # F106SX. It's shorter and won't interfere with the stabilizer bar. The nozzle comes out the side and can be rotated 360 degrees in any direction before tightening down.
Appreciate the tip!
@@garymeyer3294 I bought the EZ-drain valve. Same as the fumoto just different finish.
Any install videos for that catch can?
No sorry I got it before the CZcams channel. Super easy install though
What cold air intake are you running?
Spectre
The oil catch can oil shouldn't be put back in to your truck. The purpose of the catch can is to remove crude and anything that shouldn't be cycling through your crank case.
I'd empty the catch can into your oil catch next time. Otherwise you're throwing bad oil back in with the new oil change.
I think you’re mistaken on what’s going on in the video. That’s an empty container that the old oil is being dumped into. By no means would I put the old oil back in the truck.
Whats the specs on your lift and tires & wheels?
3.5” readylift, 20x12 -44 offset, 35x12.5r20
Sickkkk looking. Truck
Thank you brother!!
Cool 😎 !
Hell yeah BSO boys
Oil catch can is that stock part?
It’s aftermarket. Brand is Morimoto.
What CAI is that??

You’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to use some channel lock pilers and completely crush the old filter
Any tips on that cold air intake?
To be honest with you if it gave any performance boost it’s not big enough to tell the difference. Although I rarely, and I mean RARELY go full throttle in my truck the times I did I didn’t feel much of a difference. The sound however is MUCH better! Woke the engine up big time!
My 5th gen 5.7 calls for 0w-20.
You got the tick yet?
I do not
fujimoto valve no problem or mess
They sent me the wrong one. Never installed it
no crush washer?
No crush washer on these drain plugs, there’s a seal bonded to the plug.
I triad a grocery bag. Didnt go very welll
Not as durable lol
If you cut one of the corners off the bottom of the ziplock bag then use a zip tie to tie the opposite bottom corner off so it forms kind of a pastry bag/ funnel shape. Use another zip tie to zip tie the bag around the oil filter tightly. Slide a phillips head screw driver through the hole in the corner of the bag you cut out. Using a small hammer GENTLY TAP a hole in the bottom of the filter.Remove the screw driver and let the oil flow out of the filter, into the bag and out the hole into your oil tray. You'll have to loosen the oil filter in 2 or 3 steps without removing it completely for all the oil to drain. Then remove the filter completely and wipe off the mating surface on the engine block. Not one drop of oil spilled and no mess whatsoever. Changed my oil several times using this method and haven't spilled a drop.
To each their own! Thanks for sharing your method! 👍🏼
Don't forget to check level. I didn't see you use the dipstick.
Well, checking a dipstick should definitely be a given. But if not then good reminder!
I believe it's supposed to be 7 qts of oil bot 5qts
I state 7 qts in the video
What lift n tire combo is this. I have the 21’ 3.6 and want to either level or lift. I have the nice chrome 20’s tho which I’ll prob jeep
3.5” readylift with 20x12 -44 rims and 35x12.5r20 tires
Great video man, very informative.
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!!
