A buddy of mine has a new 07 with the 5.9

[hammersley]

and wants to change the oil... ... I've told him about the TDR... to sell him on this place for a membership - can someone show me where the good poop is on changing oil on this one...



i. e.



1. How much oil

2. I understand you need a bottom attaching filter wrench - what size is it... .

3. I use a 1/2 square drive for my oil pan... what do you use on this one...

4. Fleetguard # for filter...



This guy doesn't have a lot of tools - so I want to make sure we have whet we need... .



Any hints---I use the plastic bag on the filter - and preload it with oil - and I know in the past hercules put the filter on at the factory... .

It seems that most people will tell you 11 quarts, I use 3 gallons.



Not sure on the size of filter wrench.



Square drive works on this one too, but I can't remember if it's 3/8 or 1/2. I use a valve on my oil pan.



For the filter, it is a LF16035. That is the good one. FLEETGUARD LF16035 - STRATAPORE OIL FILTER ('03-'08) DODGE-Dodge Cummins and Ford Power Stroke Diesel Truck Accessories - Geno's Garage



Plastic bag is a great idea and yes Hercules put the filter on and then Popeye double checked it.

For what it's worth, mine takes 3 full gallons also.

I only fill my oil to the full mark! This keeps it from dripping at the blow by keeps the under side clean 11qt---BEN
