Here's my experience changing the oil for the first time this morning. I was mostly excited to see how the new quarter-turn drain plug would work. Here's the video:

YouTube - 2011 Super Duty Oil Change

 

it didn't look like you prefilled the oil filter, maybe you did, was the oil that came out of the truck really dark??

 

Love the video's EpicCowlick ! I thought the drain plug was cool too! You should have filled the oil filter before installation though... LOL

 

I need to get a pan like that one. Mine has a cover over it with holes in it thus the oil hits the cover and slatters all over. Nice video!

 

Nice video Epic.

 

Excellent Video and very informative... Noticed you used 5W-40 weight.

 

Great vid!! My wife overhead the audio and she asked "so, are you gonna start changing your own oil now?" I said "YES!!""

btw, any idea when the next vid in the do-it-yourself series is coming out? I'm being serious!!

 

Excellent video Epic!!!!!!!!!

 

Does anyone know if this is SOP for the average tech at dealerships?
The high level techs have more important tasks to work on than change oil.

 

Epic, awesome as always......Ford should be kissing your butt.

 

Great video, well done!

Filling the oil filter is a matter of personal preference - some folks like to do it, I never do and have never had a problem. The important thing is make sure you have the right level of oil post-change.

Epic said 13 quarts added which levelled out after he ran it. I presume the 13 quarts is the system capacity so if you fill your filter, you need to back it out of the volume calc or you will overfill.

 

You didn't show what it took to remove the old filter. I'm spoiled by how easy the filter was on the top of the 6.0. I need to go see what size of filter wrench I need to get the dirty filter off. Hope I still have some old filter wrenches around that will fit that size on this truck.

I use a 5 gallon bucket to catch my dirty oil. I buy oil and hydraulic fluid for my skid loaders and mini execavators in the 5 gallon buckets, So I've got old buckets around. They have a pour spout that makes it easy to dump the old oil at what ever recycling place I take it to. 13 quarts will only fill the 5 gallon bucket about 2/3rds full. Slide it out from under the truck and snap the lid back on.

So whats next Epic, A video on changing the fuel filters?

 

Was that metal filter the only oil filter for the 6.7?

I have a 6.0 and have that big top oil filter. I am getting ready to buy a new 2011

 

Awesome video!! Thanks for posting them!

 

Did you have any problem finding a filter? And was it reasonibly priced?
