Detroit Series 60 Oil Change in the Newell Coach Factory Parking Lot! (Not Supposed to do This)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Carefully pour the new engine oil into the engine's fill port. The presenter notes that for the initial portion of the oil, a funnel isn't strictly necessary as the bucket's spout fits directly into the fill hole. However, for the remaining oil, a funnel becomes useful to prevent spills. He then checks the oil level using the dipstick, starts the engine to circulate the new oil, and then re-checks the oil level to ensure it's within the proper range after the filters have filled.

Goal: Add new engine oil, confirm correct levels, and verify engine operation.

tedious because i could get most of the bucket in just off the neck into the motor but when i got out of lower the bucket that i use a funnel and that stuff's so thick that the funnel took a while to like you know roll in there and then i couldn't even use the funnel anymore because the bucket lip i'd take the lid off the bucket and then find a water funnel and i almost didn't make a mess that's my mess that little spot right there so close just just couldn't pull it off and it was from one slip up too i was kind of like pouring the bucket and i was like you know oh weird contorted because i have to see it my head's like right here so i'm all like this and then bucket was kind of rested up against this pulley and it just went and just just one little there's one little splooge it was enough to freaking frick that all up it'd be like that sometimes you know let me get this thing fired up double check the oil level now when i poured all 10 gallons and it was over full in the dipstick but the filters are not full they're only partially full so i think it will suck it up and you know have it be alright once you get there
