How to Service a Dodge Ram 5.9 Cummins! Detailed..no nonsense tips and tricks.
What happens here
Open the hood of the truck. Before draining the engine oil, ensure the engine has been run for a short period to warm the oil slightly (around 110 degrees Fahrenheit). This helps the oil drain more easily. Position the large oil drain pan directly beneath the oil drain plug on the engine oil pan. Use the 3/8 inch drive ratchet with an extension and the appropriate socket to carefully loosen the oil drain plug. Once loose, remove the plug by hand to allow the oil to drain completely into the pan.
Goal: Remove old engine oil from the truck.
