Changing motor oil!

just a question...... After draining the old oil and before you plug the pan back up. Do you poor some new oil thru and let it flush?
And then plug and poor!

Uh...no. I do it like this.
1) Run the truck for a mile or two to get it warm.
2) jack up truck, place pan under drain plug and filter.
3) remove plug
4) remove filter
5) replace filter with new...don't forget to run a drop of oil on the rubber seal.
6) when nothing comes out of pan, replace plug.
7) Add new oil.
check level
9) run truck
10) recheck level, add if necessary.
11) Done....drink beer and lay under truck for an hour.
12) tell everyone you spent all day working on the truck.

LOL I like the last few steps. I usually do run about half a quart through just to kinda flush it out. Kinda gets any particles that are so close to coming out but stop when the oil is out.

Lol...11 and 12 are the way to end the day!!!

I also like to spray brake cleaner on the bolt to clean it off for a better seal.

That is how you change oil. So just adding 1-2 qts ever other week don't count as an oil change... J/K... Theses trucks burn oil like a coal train..

hahaha yeah there ya go... stay outta the upper rpm range and it wont burn as much... i do a 140 (km/h) on the hwy usually and thats rpms at almost 4000 i think... i need a liter of oil say 500 kms. fresh oil it'll stretch a lil longer seemingly.




i do the quick flush method once in a while also. not like its going to flush every area of the engine, but like stated it'll flush out the heavy loose gunk that felt like hangin around.

and at first i didnt know there was a plug... i just pulled the oil filter and ran the neo....er truck until it stopped spitting...

found this thought of the tod sorry buddy lol
