First Oil Change

[Houston Kid]

Went well with the 3D printed accessories. One problem with the oil fill red piece. With the oil separator installed, it will not mount.

11.5 quarts. Only 10 pictured.

Getting close to that time for me too.

My oil fill works fine with the separator. Maybe you got the wrong one?

I'm guessing he doesn't have the short, black extension tube that the cap threads into. Have yet to hear from Ford as to why they got rid of it.

Bingo!
Guess I can order the extension from Ford. My 2020 had it.

why they got rid of it.

Some employee got a c-note bonus for saving Ford $0.005/vehicle, Tob. On the plus side, it gives @pilotgore another product to sell. :-)

Perhaps commonality with Raptor R?

Once I realized this was an issue on the 22’s, I ended up having a reverse twist funnel made so there wouldn’t be any clearance issues.

I also made exactly one “big Johnson” model that adds the length of the extension tube to the funnel neck. I ended up nixing that model after the prototype due to increased time and cost on the manufacturing end.

Copy all, Jon and LOVE the Coke machine!

Thanks. One of my earlier restorations. 1954.

I self corrected mine. Lol. $10 for the extension from the stealership. My original printed parts were ordered for my 2020 so the mod had not been created just yet.
I broke off the little snap tab so it would not lock in place in the valve cover.
It fits but there is a slight clearance issue with the plug that goes into the fuse box. Have to take it easy and align it perfectly to start the twist.
The plug in the red circle.

Very smart. Good job

Thanks for letting me know. The reverse twist model may have some fitment issues (waiting to hear back.). In the meantime, when I fire up production again, doing the long neck model may be the way to go.

Sorry it’s been a difficult experience for you.

Not difficult at all. I like solving problems. This was a problem you had solved on the 20-21 models and Ford threw a curve ball eliminating the extension tube on the 22s. If the neck was 1/4” longer, it would clear the wiring harness no problem with the extension tube I used. As it is, I have to go slowly and have it exactly placed and the fill funnel will just scrap the top of that wiring harness clip.
