Your oil filter retains about 1-1 1/2qts in the filter media and canister. You won’t get that out without crushing or cutting it open due to the anti drain back valve in the filter. So you’re essentially missing the same amount of oil that you prime your new oil filter with because it never makes it into your drain pan. Hopefully that makes sense. Love the content, keep it up.

! quart loss/burned over the course of an oil change is normal, even for gasoline engines. That's why checkin oil should be done a minimum of once a week. In professional driving situations like yours, I recommend checking it during each pretrip along with all the other fluids. If the truck were a daily driver, I wouldn't be too worried about running 5-40 year round but since you're in hot climates frequently and towing, I would recommend using 10-40 spring thru fall. I was an ASE certified mechanic for several years and I have operated heavy equipment growing up on the farm as well as driven OTR and heavy truck locally for about 31 years. Very thorough process you have tho, good job. I would also take this time to hit any grease fittings that may be on the truck, if any.

@Mr.AlexKogan in this case, what I would do, and you may have already done this, is to take a marker and mark the level in each jug before you pour any out. When filling up with waste oil, fill to these marks to more accurately verify your suspicions. 1 quart over the course of an oil change is normal in any engine. Subaru even told me that their allowance is 2 qts ! Lmao. If you're still unsure, call a few Ford service departments or trusted technicians if you know any and ask them. I am only a person on KZitem to you, so please feel free to verify the information I'm giving. If things have changed and I'm wrong, please tell me so I can learn also.

Hello Aex. I'm Frankie from Argentina, I watch your videos and it's the best there is, (a lot of lies going around). Speaking of your oil consumption in your truck, 1/4 to 1/2 is normal at that level of use. 1) not everything drains when changing, 2) take note of the use of your truck between changes, how many miles were loaded and how many without, working temperature, hot and cold days, hilly and uneven routes, weight of loads. (You're going to have a difference.) Think that that truck consumes that much without loads only with normal use. If it were mine I would use 5W50. Whatever you need Frankie

Frankie, thank you! I am happy to know you are enjoying the videos. I’m sticking to 5w40 all year round. I think I’m not letting it drain long enough and before draining I should let it sit at least 30 minutes. These trucks are very sensitive when it comes to oil changing and checking the level. When I check my dipstick it’s always at full so that’s why I think I’m not draining long enough. Now I let it drain for a full hour 😁 This way I know most of it is out 👍🏻

Most engines don't get all the oil out via the drain plug, there is still some small amount of oil left in the pan as well as throughout the rest of your motor. Also, don't forget how much oil is still in your oil filter. I think the 5w-40 provides better protection in the Summer when the heat causes the oil to get hotter and in turn thinner, but Cummins does recommend Valvoline 10w-30 CK-4 for the Summer so that's probably not a bad choice. 5w-40 CK-4 oils are a lot easier to find, though. I'm coming from GM trucks and GM has a bad habit of recommending these lower weight oils in the sake of CAFE fuel economy to the detriment of what otherwise may afford your motor the best protection. What you need to look up and compare is what the viscosity at 100°C is, and preferably what the HTHS. The only specs I can find on Shell Rotella's new T6 10w-30 show that it has a 14.7 cSt at 100°C which puts it right in the middle of a 40 weight oil.

You’re overthinking it my friend. When you are on the road, you can’t cary an open oil pan to drain into. That’s why I use that drain plug that I connect a hose to and drain into an enclosed pan. Works perfect and no mess at all. Draining into an open pan would splatter oil when you first pull the plug.
