How to Change the Oil

1. Warm Up Engine & Park Safely: Drive the truck for a few minutes to bring the oil to operating temperature. Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and chock the wheels. Always use jack stands if raising the vehicle.
2. Locate & Prepare: Place a large drain pan under the oil pan. Identify the oil drain plug, which is usually located on the bottom of the oil pan.
3. Drain Oil: Carefully loosen and remove the drain plug with the appropriate wrench. Allow all the old oil to drain completely. Inspect the drain plug and crush washer.
4. Replace Filter: Locate the oil filter. Place a small drain pan underneath it to catch any drips. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter. Apply a thin film of new oil to the gasket of the new filter before threading it on. Tighten the new filter by hand until snug, then an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn, or as specified by the filter manufacturer.
5. Reinstall Drain Plug: Install a new crush washer on the drain plug and reinstall it into the oil pan. Torque it to the specified 59 lb-ft (80 Nm).
6. Refill Oil: Remove the oil fill cap, usually on top of the engine. Using a funnel, slowly add 18-19 quarts of fresh API CK-4 or CJ-4 15W-40 engine oil. Start with 18 quarts.
7. Check Level & Inspect: Reinstall the oil fill cap. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. Check for leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. Shut off the engine, wait 5-10 minutes for the oil to settle, and then check the oil level on the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary, ensuring it
