- When high performance is needed out of your engine,
it is essential that you have a high flow of oil
to keep your engine well lubricated.
(whoosh)
This video is brought to you by my friends at Fram,
and I want to thank them for giving me this filter
to change the oil in this 2016 Mustang GT.
So like I mentioned, whenever you're expecting
high performance out of your engine in sport cars
like this Mustang GT, you know,
it is very important to have very good oil flows
so they keep your engine well lubricated.
The Fram Titanium oil filter has advanced high flow
synthetic technology to produce ultimate engine protection
for up to 20,000 miles.
The Titanium oil filter is engineered with premium
synthetic blend media which provides
99% dirt trapping efficiency,
allowing peak performance from your engine.
And it's this technology that is gonna keep your engine
protected and performing longer.
Fram has been a trusted name since 1934
and continues to be the go-to brand for the DIYers
and the professionals or anyone wanting the best oil filter
for the job.
So why is an oil filter so important?
It's job is to collect all the dirt, all the contaminants,
the things that could damage your engine,
and this will allow your engine to run much longer
without any problems and with the expensive cars today,
that is very important.
All right, well, let's go through the steps it takes
to change your oil.
Okay, so the first thing you want to do
before you get started, allow it to cool.
You know, you've been driving it.
That engine oil could get hot.
If you start taking that oil filter and the oil out,
gets on you, it can burn you.
So allow it to cool down before you get started.
And you do want to follow all the safety precautions.
You know, when jacking it up,
make sure that you use the recommended locations.
For example, on this Mustang, we jacked it up on the frame.
And then you can see by these arrows here on the rocker
where the pinch welds are,
a lot of cars are right here, you know,
right in front of the rear front wheels
or right in front of the rear wheels.
You know, that's gonna be your locations
and that's what we use to use some jack stands.
You always want to use jack stands.
You always want to chalk your wheels.
You always follow all the safety precautions.
Obviously this Mustang it's too low.
We can't just get under it like we did on the Nissan pickup.
So we are gonna have to lift that up some
to get underneath it to change the oil,
but you want to do it safely.
To get started, you want to get a drain pan,
something to drain that old oil into,
and then you want to locate the oil pan
and place that underneath it so that the old oil
will drain into that.
And then the drain plug,
you want to remove that and then allow the old oil to drain
for about five minutes.
And then once all of the old oil is drained,
then you can re-install that.
But before you do that, you want to make sure
that you clean the drain plug area real good.
And then you can re-install that bolt.
Now that you installed the drain pan bolt,
now you need to access the oil filter.
In a lot of cars and trucks,
you have to remove some covers to get to it.
This one has one cover, has a few eight millimeter bolts
that you have to remove, but you want to remove that
and then you will have access to the oil filter.
And then once you have access,
you want to remove the old oil filter
and it may take some oil filter pliers, or, you know,
oil filter wrench to help loosen it.
And then you can finish removing it by hand.
Now you want to make sure that drain plug is under there
because some additional oil may spill out
whenever you remove this.
Once removed, you want to make sure
that you clean the oil filter location real good.
Make sure it's nice and clean for whenever you go to put
the new oil filter back on, it'll make a good seal.
Now you want to get the new oil filter and put some
new oil on it so that you can lubricate that gasket.
And that will help you make sure that you install it right,
and lubricate the gasket so that it goes on tight.
And you really just need to do this by hand tighten.
The good thing about this oil filter is it has
total grip surface, meaning that the entire filter,
you know, has something that you can grip
and tighten it by hand.
And normally you can tighten this by hand
and that is good enough.
And I'm using a towel to make sure you clean all the old oil
so that you can get it good and tight.
And once you have that on good and tight,
now you can re-install the cover, get that back on.
And now we can start adding the oil.
And I have Erica here, this is her car,
and we are gonna add the oil.
Of course, you want to look up the recommended oil type
and the amount of oil that you need to add.
And remember, this oil filter is designed for
full synthetic oil, you know,
to get your 20,000 miles of protection to your engine.
And then you want to check it with your dipstick
and make sure it's in between the two indication marks.
Then once you have all that complete, of course,
you want to let the car idle for about five minutes
and inspect it for leaks, you know,
make sure nothing's leaking around the oil filter
or the drain plug locations.
So if you expect high performance out of your car,
you need good oil flow to keep the engine well lubricated
and the Fram Titanium is the go-to oil filter.
As always, thanks for watching.
