Here is what i do to make it easier then this guy. Get your self two $3 5 gallon buckets from walmart along with two 5 gallon oil buckets from Walmart. Also get a easy drain oil tap installed on your cascadia, this will let you open and close the oil drain plug with no mess like a water faucet. Open fill plug grab your bucket drain and close the tap until all oil is gone. Fill oil but keep the old 5 gallon bucket. Next time you change the oil you will use those two old oil bucket as old oil storage so you can transport them to your nearest AutoZone to get rid of them. Zero mess and you wont need a oil catch pan. Or you wont need to lift or drive your cascadia over wooded blocks. With this method I could change the oil faster on my truck than I could on my car.
Thanks for the advise, but I found this the easy way for me and if you could notice I did not had any oil spills either, also I do have oil drain plug on my oil pan.
Definitely appreciate the video. Definitely took note of the oil and fuel filter change. Will have to revisit for all the grease points. Got a new sub here since I plan on picking up a Cascadia in the coming days
Great video. Few tips. Use only OEM fuel filters. Had a problem recently with aftermarket filters. Didn't fit quite right. Also grease the fuel filter bottoms liberally and torque to spec & mark the position. I was just freehanding it before trying to be careful because they're plastic but the smaller filter cap needed replacing ($86) due to over tightening. Remember these hard plastic caps are getting old & brittle. I use a rubber band & a coffee filter on the tip of the bottle after I siphon some fuel & reintroduce into the filter cavities. Also theres 4 more grease points. 2 on each side of the fifth wheel pivot. They're usually caked up with mud & crud. Wipe down those nipple tips before greasing so as not to introduce dirt & grime.
I do my oil changes myself as well, but an old driver told me to fill out with oil first the oil filter. I really cant see that option doable since the oil filter comes head in from the top. I see you as well didnt put any oil in the oil filter and wanted to make sure that this is the right way. Thanks and Merry Christmas🎄
Filling up oil in oil filters that does not apply for dd15 motors, cuz it has paper filters, as soon as you pour oil in oil housing it’s going straight to the block, it works only for metal oil filter.
Good morning and thank you for the informational video, you’re funny you say you have to pump it about 400 times 😆😆😆😆😆, I guess by now the whole family is over so you can have a barbecue Weekend, well listen really appreciate it you always bring something from somebody, 👋👌👍💪✌️
With prices going up and up.. A typical dd15 oil change at the big shops are approx $530.00. doing your own maintenance gives you a heads up by reducing maintenance cost..
That oil drain valve is installed with an adapter? And where did you buy it? I bought Fumoto T211 from Amazon but not sure if I need an adapter as well. I have the same kind of an engine. Thank you
I have a lot of tools at the house, but I don’t carry it all with me, next time I will make a video about the truck I will try to include a small clip what tool every owner op need to carry with him. Thanks for comment
Just with oil change it will not effect how your truck will start after the change, some guys will use starting fluid to start the truck after the fuel filter change, I will highly recommended not to use any starting fluids on Diesel engines, if you do the job wright and prime the system like you should it will start no problem, Diesel engine can cause diesel run away witch will blow your motor, be really careful with that stuff
I can’t say nothing good nothing bad about t6, but I do know that I put 600,000+ miles and it does really good, I also know ppl personally that million + miles on rotella t4 and had 0 issues. So for me there is no reason to switch between oils, also it’s not very healthy for the motor to switch between different brand of oils .
@@andreykichuk i bought my first truck and I spoke to the owner I bought it from and he said he would put the cheapest oil. So I want to start putting good oil on it. What should I do purchase cheap oil or start with t6 and never look elsewhere on oils
I bought mine with no records with 640k miles, it ran really good until 980k miles until one injector got stuck in open position, so in the morning my truck didn’t want to start cuz of no fuel pressure, i was on the road so I found a diesel shop and one of the Machenics came out to look at it and he decided to start it with engine starter, and the motor just took off, until it blow up💥so after that I do everything g my self.
@@chrissuggs8521 yes this is way to much, Freightliner is saying 45k but I’m not gonna do that that’s to high, if you use full synthetic oil maybe I would go 30k but not more than that
@@andreykichuk And by a chance have you ever use the product Pittsburghpower max mileage? If you happen to check out some reviews on it online I just ordered me a gallon jug going to try it out.
I usually go by if I know a person that got a brand new truck and he been using rotella oil all his life and his truck is running very healthy when it has over a million miles to me that’s a good sign that the oil is pretty good. I know few guys that that’s all they been using since they got the truck brand new and their trucks is a good bit over a million now so that’s why I’m using it lol
@@andreykichuk thanks buddy that works for me then can’t beAt real works results instead of marketing on these bottles. Also do you use Lucas oil stabilizer or any fuel additives?
@@classicjay7786 I don’t use anything for motor oil or for the fuel, truck runs really good does not burn oil at all, the only time that I do use anything is anti gel for fuel if I run in extreme freezing weathers.
It’s not just about saving, when you do your own oil changes you know every is done the write way, plus you going underneath the whole truck while greasing inspect everything, one time I found cracked brake drum, loose ground, rubbed wires and etc…..
Nice job explaining everything! Just gave my Cascadia a PM and it was my first time! Thanks for showing the grease points!!

You could always use a torque wrench for you oil filter caps. It tells you the torque specs. 1/2" drive.

Hello, I usually go to nearest waste management and drain it there, they have this special place for oil.
What are u using when installing the new o rings? U r doing some lubrication everytime...is it Grease?
@@SS-vo3dz the lubricant comes with the filter kit

Sometimes I assume it's not always easy to be making videos while working on the truck
How often do you change your fuel filter and fuel water separator?
I change my fuel filters same time I do oil change witch is 20k miles, water separator every 40k miles, every other oil change.
Nice video bro thanks for taking the time and share, where you take the burn oil?
Uselly they don't like to take more than 2 gallons
I always take it to the waist garbage place, they have this tanks special for oil
That oil drain valve is installed with an adapter? And where did you buy it?
I bought Fumoto T211 from Amazon but not sure if I need an adapter as well. I have the same kind of an engine.

No adopter, screws straight to the oil pan.
@@andreykichuk thank you so much. That was a quick answer 👍
Where do u get all the parts from and how much does it cost
@@rashid510 I get all the parts from ww Williams all filters and oil around $350

I only grease my suspension everything oil change.. reduces excess grease.. drive train 5th wheel Everytime

You will probably have to replace oil pump & rings, injector cup o-rings, & EGR actuator soon on that 2011 if they haven’t already
Where do you recycle used oil?
I take it to WM most of them have oil drums to dump it too
I like your username😂👌🏼
