Only if your truck has an egr delete.

I have made that mistake once. Took the old filter off. The old gasket was stuck on the filter adapter. Put a new filter on which meant 2 of those gaskets were stacked. Started the engine up and and oil was spilling all over the floor. I stopped the engine and re did the filter and and oil change. I certainly didn't drive it anyway like that video. Probably a mistake many make when they start changing oil but don't admit to.

I have heard of that seal getting stuck there. When I do my own oil I always clean that area so I can check and see that there isn't anything there.

The oil change place is making everything right with the vehicle, and the clean up.

My guess is that they would've taken care of it without the immediate "Before I get my legal counsel involved" line.

That wasn't me, that was my mechanic. He was pissed, initially they hung up on him when he told them what happened.

Anyone would be hot if 3 gallons of black oil just got poured all over your clean shiny floors I think. He ended up driving back up there. It's all good. Still Epic oil change gone bad.

Wife disregarded me and took her car to a Walmart for an oil change once. Called (and woke me up) on her way home and asked how much oil it was supposed to take. I told her five quarts and she said "They charged me for four." I told her go back and check the oil, and have them correct it. Next morning I get home from work and there's a large puddle of oil under her car. None showing on the dipstick. I changed clothes and crawled underneath; the oil drain plug was covered with blue goop. I called Walmart service manager and he says they put that on the drain plug on every oil change. Says the oil ain't coming from the drain plug; wife musta hit something and busted the oilpan on the way home. I call him out and he says, "Bring it in." I told him no, he needed to come here. So he comes to the house, crawls underneath, and admits the leak is coming from the drain plug. There was about a quart and a half left in the oil pan; I drained it into a bottle. It looked like black paint. A year later it still looked like black paint. Since they obviously removed the drain plug, where did they get the black oil that they put back in the engine?

Fast forward several years. Once again, she took her car to Walmart for an oil change. I worked nights and "she didn't want to bother me while I was sleeping." Her car was an '89 MR-2; if you don't know where the air filter is you'll never find it. Sure enough, they charged her for an air filter, but the one in the car wasn't new. We went to Walmart, got the "technician" who had performed the work, and asked him to show us the new air filter. Naturally, he had no clue where the air filter he had changed the day before was located in the vehicle. Musta had amnesia..........

Never, ever, under any circumstances, trust the kindergarten dropouts at Walmart to change your oil.

At an oil change place in Cedar Hill that was bought out by a bigger company,
my wife when she was young and dumb let them talk her into flushing the transmission.
They flushed the trans then filled it with oil.
At the garage the mechanic told us what happened.
The oil change place told us basically to prove it.
This was before widespread cameras and we never got compensation or an admittance of guilt.

Yep, basically what happened.

Changed the oil on an F150 once. Backed out of the driveway and saw a line of oil. Looked under the truck and saw oil leaking out of the filter. Looked at the old one and did not see the gasket. You will only do that once before always making sure the gasket is still on the old filter. The ONLY advantage to a cartridge filter.
