It's better with the sound off and selective zoom.

That’s how I was taught to change oil. But now that she says so it just confirms everything I was ever taught!

No shadetreee mechanic EVER wasted a solo cup to fill a lilter.
Now excuse me while I get back to my guitar lessons.

On some of the powerstroke FB pages, some mechs are recommending NOT to fill the filter.
I still fill it.
Back when I had a service contract on my 350, I had to change the oil myself one time because of scheduling issues. The filter was on so tight, I had to drill a hole in the filter, then use some rebar to get it to come loose. When it did come loose, it squeaked. THat was my first and last time ever for getting a service contract. Ford, and likely other brands, aren't gonna waste the time of their diesel mech to do this. That job will fall to the new dude/dudette, the shop monkey.

I always lube the gasket. Don't fill the filter. I'm old, but I also wonder how many people actually change their own oil any more. I've never paid anyone to change my oil, for the same reason feddoc stated above. I might not know more than the guy at the shop, but I do know I care and will do it right.
And it takes 1.5 hours to drive to town and back. Then wait on the shop. I can change the oil faster than I can drive to town and back.
And I do know that young gal would get lots of volunteers to help grease her skids.

There's no reason to fill the filter. But there are a couple things I like about the video.
Sophie is an excellent player and that's one of the best songs of all time. I don't think she's as good as Knopfler but I'd watch her play three blind mice in that top.
