Tip for yâall who own this truck and take it to the dealer for oil changes, use a paint pen to make a mark on the filter to know if it actually got replaced , some techs wonât change it due to filter placement and will simply drain and fill the engine.
Agree 100 percent,something this important why trust anyone else. Common cars are very easy to do. Rino ramp is a must.
Spent some time researching RAM 1500 DT oil change this morning then spent two hours changing my oil (first time on my new truck) and now I open CZcams and see my favorite RAM blogger just posted a video on how do it - LOL. Echo frustration re engineering especially with the filter placement... Managed to control all mess around sway bar by covering it with a plastic bag and putting carton on garage floor, but even with my OCD I failed to do a neat job avoiding mess getting old filter out (ziplock bag method helped a bit, but not fully).
Haha thanks man! Yeah they could have definitely designed it better.
The jokes on you lol. That's how they keep the sway bar from rusting out lol
I donât own any trucks but I like to see it anyways⊠knowing is knowledge đđ»đđ»đđ»good job there!
oil filter and oil pan drain plug placement is what happens when using a 4th Gen engine in a new 5th Gen truck!! It's unfortunate the RAM engineers (or bean counters) did not modify the pan or oil filter placement. Nice video!
Shit, I don't think they've changed the pan since '03 LOL!
love the intro song. PWD
Ive got the same truck and once I loosen the oil filter I put a gallon zip lock bag over the filter and finish taking it off. No mess.
Smart!
omg that's GENIUS!!
I use a dog training pad ....... feed it under the filter and the oil gets absorbed as soon as it hits pad .......no mess
@@charleskitchenman2915 i like the bag idea, its all in the bag, dont have to worry about it after you unscrew it and drag it out. thats the worst part
There was a mechanic friend once tell me not to prefill your filters because you could enter dirt into the oil (crap on the bottle or your gloves) that will pump dirt straight into your bearings. It's better to let the filter do it's job and filter all your oil. Remember you just shut it off so the engine is wet with oil so no harm with a dry filter when you start it.
He is right, however, Iâm not working in a sand pit and I was pouring oil from the top of a brand new bottle with clean gloves, so Iâm not concerned. In harsher or dirtier environments, I would agree. I just donât like my engines running without oil for even a split second, especially these pesky hemi lifters that are prone to failure. Not sure how much oil drains back over the course of the hour or so it takes me to do this. It is also preferred to fill the filter through the outer holes with a plug in the center if possible, that way the oil you pour into the filter is also getting filtered.

Tony what are your intervals between oil changes. How about the first change?
I was doing full synthetic oil change every 5-6k miles. I like to do the first one early though if possible like maybe 500-1000 miles
Sweet sounding truck! What exhaust are you running?
Itâs a Borla S-type cat back system. Iâve got an install video and a sound video of the exhaust on my channel as well
Took my 2020 5.7 to the dealer for the first oil change and they used conventional. Should I have them use full synthetic next time time?
I highly recommend it, especially with the very small oil ports in the lifters that are prone to failure on the Hemi. Synthetic tends to flow better. Hereâs a quote directly from Mopar - âWe recommend you use API Certified SAE 5W-20 Engine Oil, meeting the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-6395 such as MOPARÂź, PennzoilÂź, and Shell HelixÂźâ. It doesnât say synthetic, but all 3 companies they list primarily make synthetic.
Do you use ramps when you change your oil? If not, has it ever given you any problems for not using ramps?
I did not use ramps, but Iâm also not super big, and itâs also have a leveling kit with oversized tires. If it was stock, ramps would probably help.
You can use a piece of carton or kitchen aluminum so can't have a big mess of oil. That is what I do.
I always forget about the tin pan method haha
Foil is what I do too. Makes a big difference. đšđŠđđŒ
Ah... u explained that 0-20 right when i was like wt actual fak? Thats the wrong weight lolđ
I thought the same thing for many years haha
The dealership doesnât pull the plug, they vacuum out the oil from the dip stick tube. I had 2 oil changes done and there was not oil stains on the sway bar or any where. And the drain plug looks untouched. I hate sitting at the dealership for 2-3 hours waiting!!
Luckily I have a dealership right across from my work, so if I decide to let them do it, I just drop it off before work and walk over on lunch haha.
Rumor on the street is Redline oil helpsprevent hemi tick
Dude...what's with the leaves and dirty motor compartment? Great video other than the mess.
Well you see, leaves find their way into the engine compartment when you have to park under a tree. And pressure washing the engine bay isnât exactly good for your electronics.
Mopar filters are wix
No room for that damn oil filter...I hate doing my oil changes now lol. Isn't there a possibility of oil leaks or more oil consumption when using a thinner W oil weight than what the Manufacturer recommends..???
Like I was trying to explain a bit in the video, a 0w-20 isnât necessarily âthinnerâ than a 5w-20, because both are a â20 weight oilâ when they are warm. The first number (0, or 5 in this case) is just a winter rating how well the oil flows in the cold (32° and below). So they just have different properties, but arenât necessarily âthinnerâ. Technically, a 0w-20, a 5w-20, a 10w-20, and a straight SAE 20 are all the same thickness when warm.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy what about when it's not warm? The O weight is technically thinner... Would probably get past some of the seals
@@JRs-guitars Nope, technically not thinner, just flows better in the cold
That oil filter is BURIED! my goodness thatâs obnoxious. Here I was complaining about my tundra canister filter lol
Yeah and draining onto the electric steering motor and sway bar is also genius lol
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yea thatâs ridiculous
I can forgive the oil drain plug...the oil filter placement is nothing short of absurd.
Funny thing is, I don't remember any of this being an issue on the 4th gens, but I could be wrong. Reverse engineered lol
@@TonyTheTruckGuy It's almost like it's deliberate. Did my first oil change on my 5th gen Big Horn and never have I ever cussed so much during an oil change lol. It's normally just a routine thing, almost enjoyable...on this truck. Hooo boy.
@@varanidguy Exactly haha. Quite ridiculous.
@@TonyTheTruckGuymy 2018 is the same as my dads 2019 for the oil filter and drain placement
