How to change your own oil DIY Ford Explorer

With the economy the way it is, more people have resorted to trying to do their own repairs and maintenance. This is the basic procedure for changing your own oil in a 2006 Ford Explorer with a 4.0L SOHC V6. I hope this helps. I graduated from Wyotech in 1995 and I'm an ASE Master Tech with advanced engine performance certification, light duty diesel cert, and I'm a certified service consultant. If you have any automotive related questions, ask in the comments or send me a message. I plan to upload more automotive how to videos, some racing videos, more firearms videos, and some pranks related to all of the above. Thanks for watching. Please rate and subscribe.

I've always filled my filter with oil before installing to prevent the little oil starvation at start-up. Is this worth it or am I wasting time?

[roadragecustoms]

@itneverwasme It isn't a bad thing to do. It is an easy habit to get out of. There are many vehicles that don't have vertical filters. On these, you'd be pouring out the oil while you install the filter.

Would this same method work on a 2001 Ford exporer sport?

[roadragecustoms]

@priceless43615 It should be very similar.

Can u do a vid on transmission fluid change?

[roadragecustoms]

@Chyne20 Yes, as soon as I get one in that is due for trans fluid, I'll make a video.

The oil change light is the best part. Just like you said "THE So CALLED PRO'S" like jiffy lube ECT. Don't know how to reset light. So right after you get oil changed every time you

Start your car it says CHANGE OIL in big orange letters. You made. It easy. Thanks BRO

does your 4.0 use 5w-20 or 5w-30 in that year

hey dummy! ever thought about using a new carterplug ALWAYS when you change your oil? and when you start your engine a few seconds before you want to check your oil level, you will never get the right oil level! you have to wait some time till your oil has lowered..
