    yea can add really any type of oil u want to use to whats in your car. obviously dont add diesel oil to a gas engine. i always use valvoline in my vehicles just cause i like valvoline. but you can add any brand of oil to whats in there now. but i would not add it to the fuel tank. all you do is burn the oil up when u run the car. its just a waste and its not good to be burnin oil in the engine. if u wanna do tht there is stuff auto zone has tht u can put in the oil and fuel to clean the engine

    this guy did a good job with the vid but the 1 thing that i have always done is when you go 2 put the filter back on use a little new oil and put a little bit on the rubber gasket on the filter this helps it make a better seal also take off the oil cap before you drain the oil. it lets air in and flushes most of the old oil out. it also helps if you let the car idle for about 5 to 10 mins before draining it. it makes it alot easier for all the oil to flow out. and u dont need 2flush it

    yeah you have the right idea to drive the vehicle and let the oil get scalding hot maybe 10 miles and back give it time to get good and hot then drop it and you will get pretty dam close to all of it out then pour some cheap oil through once it quits dripping to get all the old out

    i am not nagging in any way great job mate you know what your doing just use good oil and filter if you want to use a different kind of oil and filter im just lending advice not demanding please dont take it the wrong way i have a trick u may try to stab a phillips screwdriver in the bottom of the filter and let it drain and u dont get oil on you i always do that and when u take the filter off you dont get an oil bath or oil all down your arm hope this helps great video A++++++

    at 3,000 miles the oil that comes out of my engine looks dam close to what i put in because i use a good filter and good oil your oil should never ever look coal black like that thats over the limit way past time for an oil change what im saying is what u take oput should look like what you put in just like a cold pancake syrup color dirty looking but not black what i do is buy a quart or 2 of cheap oil and pour through to wrench the old out thats the safe way to flush i use castrol gtx 10w30

    ditch the fram mate and go with wix k&n and so forth fram is the sorriest filter ever made i hate fram filters i wouldnt put one of those on an enemies lawnmower to get them back i normally use wix k&n bosch or any other good filter he has a 350 or a 305 in that truck so its more than liekly a wix 51060 350 and 305 interchange oil filters wix and bosch are only 3 doolars more but its worth it for the protectionof an engine u buy cheap filter u get cheap protection his oil was black

  • brownsta7 said:

    nice, but should you take off oil cap and dipstick before you drain the oil? or it doesnt matter?

  • TKUIKn1Fz said:

    Nice way to show a quick oil change.

  • wtfboy2 said:

    he’s a lefty :O

  • SaltyTestes said:

    good video but two things, if you use a good oil you do not need to worry about a dry start. do not use that cheap chevron shit. second, when your oil filter is loosened enough to drain, you DO NOT keep your hand on it. just let it drain then remove it.

  • Yippykaiyay said:

    at least this is more informative than the other guy whos a “proffesional”

  • hardbodyrock said:

    i heard its best to let the car run for like 15 minutes so the oil can be warm.

  • 213kilacali said:

    u forgot one thing…heat up the engine so the oil flows smoother..
