So many experts in the comment thread . What would we do without you !

[@arthursmith643]

Great video nice clear voice good camera positions and no crappy music. People say fill the filter. It doesn’t help or harm. Many cars/trucks have cartridges now and you don’t fill those. Oil is still covering the parts during oil change you won’t get it all. The oil pump pushes pressure instantly. Thanks for your time to make the video.

[@benignonavarrete2831]

Amazing man I’ve changed my oil many times and I always forget what to get and how many liters or qts and this video jus saved my life lol great work definitely subscribed liked and saved the video for future references thanks ! And great job

[@clucknorriz6683]

I like your instructions concise, informative, and to the point, you just gained another subscriber, thank you again for a good step by step, greetings from Las Vegas, Nevada!

[@MegaJosemax]

Gracias amigo explicaste perfecto a pesar de que no hablo inglés lo comprendí bien

[@pocketjokers1]

Good Video , one more step that I personally do is I fill the new filter with new oil before I put it on the truck , so when you start the truck first time after your done with oil change it picked the oil up faster so you have oil to moving parts faster.

[@harryk1769]

Great job, very well explained

[@russellmaddock3492]

Excellent video. On these trucks, Yukon's and Tahoe's the filter and oil drain plug is easy to get too. Makes for a very easy oil and filter change. I am not crazy about the thin oil used in these engines, but that is what GM calls for. I also added a catch can to help with the intake carbon build up problem with these direct injection engines. I also pick up a tuner and used it to delete the cylinder deactivation nonsense. My Yukon 5.3 has 41000 miles on it, and it is a pleasure to drive. Sense I don't drive it in the winter months, I change the oil and filter every spring, regardless how few miles are on the oil. Like you, it takes the right type of funnel to add the 8 quarts of oil. I tried to find a specialty funnel made just for these engines but had no luck. I have been using Castrol Edge 0w20 Dexos oil and ACDelco oil filter. I don't think the brand of oil and filter is as important as changing both on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing the very well-made video.

Nice video free of annoying music or intro's !! I also use Rotella Gas Truck for my 2015 Silverado. Can't go wrong with Rotella oil. My filter of choice is STP XL

Nice job! Only thing I would have done different is to use a Wix filter.

[@Ron-bo6tb]

He lost me when i saw the Fram filter!

[@davidcampbell1899]

That Fram was an ULTRA GUARD! One of the best filters made.

[@justjerry8476]

Many people comment about pre-filling the filter. What would they do if the filter is mounted horizontal, as it is on some engines ? Manufacturers neither recommend or discourage pre-filling but, I'll bet your dealership does not pre-fill filters when doing an oil change. BUT ......... it's entirely up to the individual and what they are comfortable with. Just start your engine and let it idle until the gauge or light shows pressure ........., usually around five seconds +/--. Cheers !

[@mattlara6033]

Thank you.

[@israelrico9135]

Nice 👌

[@aaronknutson2563]

Thanks bud!

[@theofficialgaro]

Where did you buy the ramps?

[@Justin31789]

Nothing wrong with FRAM Ultra filters , they are some of the best filters in the market. The tough guard and orange can are junk. If you don’t believe the construction of the Ultra is well made. Look at one cut open if you don’t believe me.

[@classicjay7786]

Justin L that’s correct these fools don’t know there colors bright orange vs Gold can

[@georgesmith5185]

I noticed you used 0w20 oil. 0w30 is recommended and because of the lifter problems in chevy 5.3 liter engines, I always use 5 w 30. Cleared up my lifter problem and is recommended by most mechanics I know.

[@fabianmoye7919]

Not according to the owners manual js

[@JoelHernandez-gx3fd]

@@fabianmoye7919 you don’t know shit rookie

[@wesleyh6308]

Where do you get that 0w30 is recommended? Just look on the fill cap it says 0w20. Definitely wouldnt use 30. These newer vehicles are designed for the thinner oil.

[@georgesmith5185]

You're correct that 0w20 is recommended by the factory but it's for decreasing resistance to flow and is supposed to increase fuel economy. I run 5w30 because it protects the bearings and other moving parts better. Diesel engines have far closer tolerances on bearings and other moving parts such as turbos. They run 15w40 as I do in my diesels. Longevity is the goal.

[@Leatherkid01]

Good job....Everyones gonna say stuff abt the use of Fram filter now but u used the right Fram at least (Gold frams alright)....just stay away from the orange can Frams.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I appreciate the positive comments! No complaints so far. Truck also runs so much better after this oil change. I think the dealer put the wrong oil in when I bought it.

[@Leatherkid01]

i use pennzoil ultra platinum oil with a purolator boss filter

[@85square]

Only thing I would do differently is not telling people how to open the hood, because if you don't just know how to open your hood you should not be changing oil.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

lol

[@rogerdickson2204]

So True....LOL

[@13salinaspride]

How often u changing your oil

[@bruceaugustine6486]

Or you can take 2 quarts out of the full container into the one you emptied put the cover on it and use the 3 remailing quarts into the truck.

[@72mespo]

Good video, Hunter. I’d recommend you fill that new oil filter with fresh oil to avoid dry starts and use a K & N oil filter. Check for leaks after the restart. The torque rating for the oil drain plug is 20 ft/lbs.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

good points, thanks Mark

[@Andrew__Smith]

Mark Esposito ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARY.

[@billhamilton7524]

WTH,,,explaine a dry start please

[@emmanuelsauceda6782]

You do a good job gringo😁

[@290wayne]

Why didn't you pre fill the filter?

[@arthursmith643]

On that angle you empty out all the oil except for the coating on the inside of the engine. Toss in seven quarts start the truck and back it down off the ramps. Once level shut it off wait five minutes and check oil level. Add the other quart if needed

[@tonycj7860]

I've noticed on my '18 Silverado, that 7.5 qt will put me just under the full mark. 8 qt will put me over the full mark. This is with the oil drained on ramps.

[@compachun94]

Very detailed video! But I think even with synthetic oil the max mileage iduse it for is 5k-6k

[@OldSoulMillennial]

To each his own. Cheers

[@justjerry8476]

SOME filters come with a piece of clear shrink wrap over the inlet end. Be sure not to miss removing that. It's almost invisible.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Wouldn't the clear plastic prevent the filter from threading on? I would think that this would be impossible to miss. But still a good thing to point out.

[@bamaz7140]

Great video. How are you liking the rotella oil?

[@tylerc7037]

I use it in my 2010 Venza religiously. Found it on sale at WalMart for $5 a gal jug. I bought all them out, good for a few more oil changes lol. no issues no ticking no leaks

[@CSltz]

It was great oil no problem at all. They don’t make it anymore.

[@a3300000]

What if the drain plug is in front? Asking for a friend.

[@arthursmith643]

Lift the rear of the vehicle

[@davidqi8073]

R u sure 7-8K miles to change is ok? What if I just drive the truck about 3K miles over a year, should I change oil because it’s old oil or just depends on the miles I used? Thanks

[@sinhnhutnguyen4781]

The 100% oil meter for these 14-18 trucks comes out to be about 7500 miles I change mine at 6000k miles or about 18-20%. If you only drive 3000 miles a year change your oil once a year. I have a 2018 Camry Toyota calls for every 10000 miles, my dad drives about 5-7000 miles a year I change their oil once a year. I use Mobil 1 full synthetic.

[@davidqi8073]

@@sinhnhutnguyen4781 Thanks for your detailed response. I replace my other cars every 5K Miles, but this new truck I haven't drive much. I am always curious if the oil just by setting in the car, does make it loos function or turn bad after a year?

[@sinhnhutnguyen4781]

@@davidqi8073 check your oil and its color. My parents’ 2018 Camry’s oil was changed in 09/20 after a year and about 4K miles the oil (0W-16) still looks like new. My 2018 Silverado oil was changed this February with a little over 5k miles the oil (OW-20) looks dark, I’m planning to change oil for both cars. If you only drive 3k miles a year I would change oil once a year, doesn’t make sense to only drive 1.5k miles and change your oil every six months. Use good oil!

[@Dan-on7yo]

@@sinhnhutnguyen4781 the oil meter is bs as told by gm. They will not warranty engine if you wait that long

[@sinhnhutnguyen4781]

@@Dan-on7yo I did an experience the last time I changed my oil by pouring the used oil back into the empty 1 quart bottles and to my surprise the used oil only filled up 6 1-quart bottles. I regularly check my engine oil and the dipstick never shows low. I understand that you can never drain 100% of the oil out of your car and there’s also the NOACK volatility in engine oil even the best oil evaporates under extreme heat. I’m planning to change oil at 5k miles now.
