Full Throttle Cranking (Empty Oil Filter) 2022 Ford Maverick 2.0l

This is the first time I heard the term "Lizard Lotion." It will now be my go-to phrase in place of snake oil. Thanks for the chuckle!

On that shield Ray the 2 bolts in the back stay in to support the shield and then you can slide it out. The shield is slotted. I'm sure you knew it but over looked it. Great video Ray. I think the clamp was for holding the shield from another mechanic.

Only Ray can make changing old more interesting than watching paint dry.

Finally, an easy job after all the chaos we've seen during the week. That Rustang must have drained a lot of energy from you, Ray.

@15:07 Back in the day (Decades Ago) when I did oil changes, when the filter was removed, I would clean the mounting base with a rag and then apply new clean oil to the gasket ring. Also I remember the day when on a Chevy, you had to loosen the bolt and the steel can came down with the filter inside it. Then you had to remove the two bolts holding the filter base plate so you could remove the sealing ring. Then you went over to the parts washer and cleaned everything, put the new sealing gasket ring on the filter base, bolted that piece back in, put the new filter cartridge in the steel can and bolted that assembly back on to the engine block. Hundreds of times. @30:52 When is a hood not a hood? When the dashboard says it is "A Jar"!!🤣🤣

I know you are right. 50 years ago I was working at a cab company changing oil and I forgot oil on one checker cab with 250 straight 6 chevy engine a put it in the lot for pick up and then I realized it had no oil, so I filled it and it was in the fleet for 200,000 miles. so oil does cling and interference like oil cap off and dipstick out is a good idea. Us humans sometimes need helpful reminders.

Probably the most interesting oil-change video ever! I like to see check-arounds on new-ish cars too Ray as it updates what's been happening.

On the electronic shifter, there's a physical disconnect hidden in the center console that disconnects the transmission for towing. On the double pull hood release, you can't work it while the driver's door is closed, it blocks the lever from moving.

My dad had the habit of draining a cooling system or oil and leaving the car in the unfinished state. He took the time to place the cap over the hood latch. However this never stopped my mother or sister from replacing the cap and driving the car, which cost two engines.

You didn't have to take off the entire undershield. There's a black access panel in the large undershield to for the drain plug and then you take off the front shield to access the filter.

After a hell week or two like you've had, I always found it helpful to pick a day when the heavy workload is done and we would spend a majority of that day reorganizing tools and cleaning the shop. Having everything clean and in it's place is a psychological and emotional more pleasing work environment. Working in a disorganized dirty shop drags you down!

I've only filled filters on hydrostatic systems because not doing so introduces excessive air into the system. No engine runs without oil when installing a new filter. The new filter fills in a small fraction of a second and it is not on the suction side. Go ahead and knock yourself out pre-filling inverted, horizontal, and cartridge filters. Also all euro style filters, including Chrysler, drain each time the engine stops. Geesh--I've only been doing this since the 1960s.

After the hella week you had with some vehicles this is exactly what the Doctor ordered. A nice, easy oil change to bring life back into perspective.

I was just happy to see that it didn't have a plastic oil pan. I prefer my engines to be mostly made of metal! ( 🤬 Stellantis 🤬 )

3:41 yeah, it's common here in Norway. Also having to use the key to release the hood. The access is behind the Ford oval. You flip the thing up, turn the key to the left, and then to the right. It's a stupid frickin design.

Two comments: First the skid shield look like it had slots on the rear bolts therefore you can take out all the other bolts first and then loosen the rears and just slide it forward. Secondly did you notice the flex on the rear door when you let that vehicle down the Gap changed, to me, more than it should.

Glad to see a Maverick on your channel. I have a 2023 Maverick Lariat 2.0L AWD and agree completely with your overall assessment of the vehicle. Regards Bob in Ottawa, Ontarion

That's a baby truck. They took it out of the factory too early! D:

It's so cute that people refer to this thing as a truck. It's a unibody Escape with a box.

And here we are watching Ray put oil in a car
