ShadowBoxer 0077 (2014 Ford Explorer Oil & Oil Sensor Change}

I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS ONLY WHAT I DID, NOT HOW TO DO IT. 
Time Code below.
A video showing some of what I did as I worked on changing the oil. In looking around I found a few other problems that needed some attention, including the Oil Pressure Sensor Sending Unit on my 2014 Ford Explorer.

For the oil change you will need a 15mm socket or wrench. I used a socket with an older Snap-on S831 to remove the drain plug and a Hazet 916HPLG to put it back on. This 916HPLG ratchet is very versatile because you can extend the length between 16 and 24 inches. It can be shortened or lengthened depending if you need leverage or space.

For the Oil Sensor I used the Hazet 916HPLG again and a 
deep 13/16 Craftsman socket from the 1960s.
