DIY Oil Change on Raptor R

[ToadSmasher2K1]

Good Lord Toadsmasher, your dealership is expensive. My last oil change (a month ago) was ~$50. I call to make an appointment and request that my regular (Senior Tech) does the oil change for me. This makes me realize how good my dealership is.

I hear ya. The $50 “The Works” oil and rotation doesn’t apply to the R.

11.5 qt full synthetic. It’s not much cheaper on Amazon either, I think $155. Filter is $35-40. So you’re not really coming out ahead much by doing it yourself.

Just be ready when the drain plug comes out. It will initially shoot all the way to the tire if you don't have the proper catch pan.
The filter needs one of the wrenches that accepts a rachet extension to loosen. Also, make sure you have your drain pan under the filter drain CAVITY, not the lip drain in the front underneath the filter when the seal is broken.

R,
HAP

You aren’t getting a $50.00 oil change on an R. Nope.
