Thank you for the video, we just bought a motorhome a lot like yours, one thing I wanted to mention I've change oil for the last 50 years and I've never used a wrench to tighten up the oil filter hopefully you don't have a hard time taking that off. I've always been taught that if you should tighten it up as tight as you can with your hand, that's plenty. Different Strokes for different folks
Thanks for sharing!
Yo you never want to put on the oil filter with a wrench it's way to tight. Only put it on by hand and only hand tight after you put a little oil on the seal and threads
Thanks for the tip!
Made this mistake once in my younger years!!
Another advice from hand tightening the filter, I always pour oil into the filter to prime it up..
👍
Thank you for this awesome video! I was able to do my own oil change for the first time, ever! I am going to attack the Onan generator next :)
Glad to hear!!
Thanks for the video. Made the process easy 👍
Happy RVing!!
Thank you sir! Appreciate it.
Yes!!
Poke a hole in the filter to start draining it next time. Saves a mess👍
Thanks!
That's actually a great idea.
Nah, it ends up running down screw driver. Its not a mess
Thank you!
👍
all good except the filter only tighten to snug plus 1/4 turn. As tight as you have it will make it a real pain when it's time for a change.
I've had oil leak from a loose oil filter in the past, didn't want that to happen again
@@Myksgarage You're absolutely right Myk! I have a 2010 E350 Sunseeker. You have to put those filters pretty tight to keep them from weeping! Ford made the mounting surface way too smooth on that oil cooler surface. The micro-finish should of been a bit rougher to bite into the gasket! Nice Vid!
Re “hand tight” vs. “wrench tight”, people, please follow the instructions. I use Mobil 1 oil and filters and the filter says tighten until you feel the seal make contact, then give it one full turn. I can’t get a full turn by hand so I reluctantly used a cap wrench; but don’t overtighten.
Good info!
Thanks
👍
Thanks!
Thank you Jim!!! 🙏
@@Myksgarage the least I could do! The cheapest place around here that would change the oil for me was over $100 just to change the oil, and that was before paying for oil and filter! When I saw that filter hanging down underneath and easy to get to...I almost cried :)
Yeah it's an easy process with plenty of room to work! Happy camping!!
I usually add oil into the new filter as Im installing it too but not sure if it makes a difference
👍
Makes zero difference
Clicked on your link for the filter wrench and it is too small. Otherwise good info, super easy. I saw where you shouldn’t tighten with a wrench 😳 I read that after I put it on with the wrench!! Should I loosen it? I am a 60 year old woman….was worried I wouldn’t get plug or filter tight enough!! Thx
I’ll make sure to update the link
The link is still incorrect. I trusted and bought the wrong size wrench.
I found a 2012 Winnebago with the E350 chassis and the v10 with only 18K miles on it any recommendations?
That v10 is a great engine, very reliable
Does it matter if your truck is running on regular gas or diesel ? Or is the oil change the same for both. Please let me know. Thank you
This is specific for the gas v10, the diesel procedure will be different
Don't you put the filter on hand tite? Didn't think it needed to be that tite.? 😕
Just wanted to make sure it doesn't leak
Yea. You don't need to do that.
How often should I do the transmission service on it? Should the frequency be based on years or miles? Thank you
I would say between 30-40k miles. If you’re towing maybe more frequently
Depending on your driving habits, do you have a heavy foot? Are you driving in the mountains? Are you always heavy... are you pulling a heavy trailer... normal driving 5 years or 100 thousand miles..... heavy foot , mountains, or heavy hauling.... 3 years 50 thousand miles
@jamesglynch81 I'm hoping to buy one after selling my house. 2005 forest river sunseeker. Going from phoenix az to the Eastern coast of North carolina, so about 2,850 miles.
@jamesglynch81 so what do you recommend? It's an RV not hot rod, so probably going to stay at 65 miles an hour. Do you know fuel tank size?
Great video. Crazy loud music after the drain plug was pulled startled me, though.
Yeah sorry about that
Is this the mtorhome that you were selling? Is it still for sale?
It has been sold, but thanks for watching
Hmm, you only did two things wrong.... always fill the new oil filter with oil before you install it... keeps you from dry starting the engine...... (sometimes you can't) and never tighten an oil filter with a filter wrench.... only hand tight... that why your gasket was stuck to the engine.... that's from over tightening the oil filter
I like to think I did 18 things right....
@@Myksgaragesorry to let you know take it from someone whose been around and out lived a fare amount of folks
IT ONLY TAKES ONE MISTAKE
ONE WRONG DESSION
this is good advice take it or leave it
Doesn't it take 5W-20?
The manual said 5w30
@@Myksgarage what year?
Can I use 10W30 oil?
I guess you could, but would be best to stick with the recommended weight
@@Myksgarage so what is the recommended weight of oil I should use ?
@@ronwilhelm2467, in my E-450 and in @Myksgarage ‘s E-350 as it shows in the video, the recommended oil is printed on the filler cap. My 2005 calls for 5W20 and his shows 5W30.
Where is the oil dipstick?
Didn't I point that out?
@@Myksgarage You did. I wa impatient. I apologize.
Didn’t say how many quarts you put n
If I recall, it was 7
@@Myksgarage thanks
@@Myksgarage do you have any videos on replacing fuel filler hose ?
PLEASE read your owner’s manual. Online, if you don’t have the physical manual. Engine oil capacities differ, and over- or under-filling is bad!
My 2005 E-450 V10 requires 6.

Way too much torque on the oil filter. Three quarter turn by hand after the gasket touches the metal base is enough. Also don't forget applying small amount of oil on the filter threads and the gasket.
It's fine
You way over tightened that filter just like Jiffy Lube would do. One half turn past hand tight brother tell all of your friends what the freak man. Cut the next guy a break changing the oil in this beast.
At least it won't leak
Oil filter should be finger tight.
👍
You tighten the oil filter way too much
Why does it matter? I can just use the same same tool to remove it. I have had a few in the past that have leaked so I wanted to avoid that
Crap oil
Well it’s what Ford recommends.
@@Myksgarage It's good oil. People think they know more than the company that designed and built the engine. I use Motorcraft synthetic blend. Just make sure to change it often and don't run it low on oil. Keep it right on full.
@@dangunn6961 it could be that they want to sell you their own oil, full synthetic is way better oil then blend, i used motorcraft for like 3 oil change cycle, and as soon as i change to full synthetic the engine was running smoother, better mpg which is not much lol.
@@redgojira3599 Using Motorcraft synthetic blend I will never be able to wear my F-150 engine out in my lifetime. I'm retired and only drive around 5 thousand miles per year. I used Synthetic oil in my Honda Civic and it caused it to leak oil. It doesn't drip on the ground but the engine is wet with oil and I can smell it. It only has 70 thousand miles on it. Synthetic oil weeps past gaskets and seals.
@@dangunn6961 i travel for work 20k to 30k miles a year on my class C, my father in law its a mechanic and he always recommends full synthetic. I also happen to have a civic Si and i use full synthetic too the only time it has leak oil its because the wrong oil filter. But dont leak with wix xp cant get my hands on oem filter(are better) you might have bad gasket on your civic
Way, way too tight
Oh?
... WELL WE ALL CAN SEE THAT U KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT INSTALLING A OIL FILTER ...
Say what??
Oh My God dude!, wtf! Take this video down!, you tightened that filter way too much!, if you don’t know what you are doing don’t put a video on
Make your own video since your an expert!!
I’m no expert but I’m not dumb enough to post a video of something I know nothing about @@Myksgarage
Are there any grease fittings that need to be lubed up?
There are a few
