Quick tip on orings. Which should be same for these as o rings on hydrualic systems on forklifts. Anytime go to change a o ring good 10 seconds with blow dryer just to get it warm makes the world of difference.

Yes, if it's difficult to get the o ring out buy an o ring spoon tool for next time.

I use dental pick atleast on forklifts I work on. And working pressure for those on those hydrualic system is between 2400-3000psi. Those are my .02 cents. The ones I use are inexpensive and can be purchased at nearly any Walmart or harbor freight. I use one like the one on far left to spoon in and out.

I plan on changing my oil after the 1k mile mark as well but will be using the standard Motorcraft semi synthetic until the next oil change at 5k which I will then switch to full syn.

Hold on. People are doing oil changes already and I don't even have a build date???
I'm waiting for the really ballsy folks who are going to be doing engine swaps before some of us even convert reservations!

As difficult as it is to take off the small o-ring and put a new one on; makes you wonder if you're local Jiffy Lube even bothers changing it.
My thought too when reading. I also worked/trained at one 20 years ago, did not take the job, they were a joke and a rip off.

Out of curiosity what does the owners manual say the oil change intervals are? I'll let the reminder light come on before I change mine.

I have around 1600 miles on my Big Bend 2.7. I decided to change the oil ASAP after my 1000-mile breakin. We have been camping, and this is the first chance I've gotten.

This video from another thread is a good reference:

I had trouble getting a filter...you can't just walk in to O'Reilly and ask for a 2021 Bronco filter. I got the part # from Ford and O'Reilly had them, but not OEM. But Wal-Mart had Motorcraft, and had one left. But question for those who know: why does the new one not have the black caps? Is this normal?

Anyway...I removed the skid plate-factory BB plastic one-using a 15mm socket to take out 6 bolts. My 15yo handled socket duties.

Confession: I haven't changed my own oil in years, so I've never used the plastic plugs. It was easy to take off (a quarter turn), and they weren't joking about it coming out quickly.

I also have never seen the top-of-engine filters, so I watched the video to find it. I didn't have a set of large sockets with me camping, so I had to use Vise-grips to get the housing off. No trouble.

I didn't install the new filter because of my questions about the caps, but I changed the rings. As in the video, I cut the small one with a razor knife to get it off. Getting the new one on there required some patience to be sure.

All that was left to do was reinsert the plug, rebolt the skid plate, and pour in 7 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic. Checked for leaks and all is good.

A follow-up question: does the Bronco not have an oil pressure readout?

THANK YOU! If the oil filter is top mounted, an oil extractor may be helpfull. I bought one from Harbor Freight years ago because I got sick of paying the high price to have the oil changed in a VW diesel. Just put a tube down the dipstick and it pulls out the oil. No need to go under the vehicle.
