2015-2023 Chevrolet Trax - Engine Oil Change and Oil Filter Replacement

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

After adding engine oil, I recommend starting the engine and watch the oil filter housing for a couple of minutes to make sure there are no leaks. Give the drain plug the same, look at it to check for leaks.

I thank you for taking your time to make a video to show everyone who needs it. And anyone who has a negative comment or opinion,record your own video if you feel you could do better. Good luck 👍

[@aprilwhitehurst1084]

Thank you! Just bought a Trax and want to do my own oil changes. Great instructional video. I saved it 😁

[@RichardMichael-h4d]

Great job. I especially liked how u fast forward parts kept it simple and quick no one like to watch a video that is takes as much time to watch it as it would to actually then go and have to spend the same amount of time to do it so yeah great job keep it up

[@bbaaspencer1]

Suppose to wipe oil on o ring.

[@BusyMEOW]

Thanks a bunch! Much appreciated easy to follow instructions. 🙂

There is no 2023 Chevy Trax. 2022 Trax has a different engine, 155HP spin ON type, PF64, at the engine bottom, not cartridge as earlier models.

[@johnroberts4823]

My 2022 list a AC Delco pf64. Doesn’t take the filter on top, it’s not n the bottom. Please change it!

[@justinplasschaert432]

It's easier to remove your dr 5:33 ain plug when the oil is hot. Take it for a spin before you change your oil. I imagine it drains better too.

[@PhilipStock-pm7ji]

Nice Show I have a 2018 with 1.4 turbo also I bought a Fram Tough Guard filter It has the cap seal O-ring and a small O ring but you didn't show a install of a second O ring ? unless it goes on the drain plug Maybe ?

[@YOUCANIC]

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. If your Fram Filter came with an extra O-ring, it's often for the drain plug. However, specifics can vary by car model. To find out, check www.youcanic.com/ where we have helpful guides and factory repair manuals. Feel free to contact us on YOUCANIC if you need further assistance, we're always here to empower and support you in your car maintenance journey.

[@uffbros1]

I am reading everywhere that they take a 10mm wrench to remove the plug?? Why does this have a T45 head???? Which is it?

[@romgl4513]

It's just a 10mm head damaged half to death by talented people so it looks like a torx.

[@uffbros1]

@@romgl4513 Thanks

[@kevinincollege]

For some reason, our 2018 trax redline edition took a 14mm. No idea. Maybe previous shops broke our 10mm and we didn’t know?

[@milankotmel4265]

Both.

[@Chucktone0618]

This is not where the filter is on at least a 2022 and newer.

[@mikehickman3330]

Should you fill the canister with oil?

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I don't but I use blue shop towels and wipe out the used oil in the housing before I install the new filter.

[@meronmountains7052]

Question: I want to change the oil on my 2018 Chevrolet Trax Premier AWD 1.4L FI Turbo DOHC 4cyl. But Auto Zone has two different type filters. One with something called: "UFI housing" and another with, "Hengst housing". Which kind do I get? Does it mater? It looks like the car you are working on has the Hengst filter.

[@BusyMEOW]

If you have another car or someone to take you to the shop I'd recommend taking out your filter and bringing it in to compare and get the right one

[@ricebike]

Just buy both when you there.... Go home and change out the oil and filter... Don't get the boxes dirty! Return the other filter for a refund and used oil for recycling at the same store Save box top of the filter you have used, put mileage and date on it, then put that in the glove box for future reference

[@meronmountains7052]

Thanks. Great idea! As it happens, my 2018 Trax uses the Hengst housing filter.

[@PhilipStock-pm7ji]

You probably know by now You need to read the plastic cap it will have either UFI on the cap or You may have a Hengst on the cap that's how I found out witch filter to buy.

@@YOUCANIC The 2022 also has a spin off filter.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

You should have shown people which groove the o ring goes in. It is the wide groove near the top. also, you failed to mention that you should put oil on that o ring before you reinstall the oil filter into the engine. Also, for safety, I recommend a set of ramps for your oil change. So much safer. Just have someone watching as you pull the vehicle on.

[@OddTimeMan]

Those factory oil drain plugs are aluminum, which is ridiculous in my opinion. The bolt head rounds off very easily. I bought a steel replacement drain plug at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Just be careful not to over-tighten it because the oil pan itself is also aluminum.

Mine is not a 10 either
