oil change

Might help if you tell us all if it is a 3.0 or 4.2. If it is a 4.2 is it turbo or not.

You'll need about 8.5 litres of oil, a Half inch socket extension to fit the filter housing and a socket to fit the drain plug

A oil drain container of at least 10 litres.

Make sure you warm up the engine first

Can't remember the size of the oil drain plug but you'll need a bit of clearance to get under the truck. A couple of solid ramps under the front wheels was all I used.

You open up the OIl filter housing about a turn and a half and there is a oil drain guide that "Hopefully"directs the oil from the filter down into the drain pan before you remove the housing altogether and replace the cartridge. Can't remember the torque settings for the filter housing or the drain plug.

If this is the first one you have done I would get a trusted friend to guide you through it.

Hi there

Don't make the mistake of many others, and use the front plug as the drain. It's NOT. It's a tapered thread and when you try to do it up again, you'll crak the sump

Hi there, at the risk of getting shot down in flames, why bother doing it yourself? I used to years ago when the sump plug & oil filter was easy to get at, you didn't need special tools & you could get rid of of the waste oil with out much hassle.
These days I get it done by the mob that service our vehicles.

Quick, simple and relatively cheap and no risk of oil spill in my garage & anyway I would not have a clue as to where to dispose of the waste oil and filter. So I gave away doing it myself, the small & in my opinion questionable saving is not worth the trouble. The only proviso is you need to be dealing with a reputable workshop. Just my opinion. Good luck

Chect the owners manual and use the correct grade and type of oil,,,,Very very important with that engine.. Michael
