Changing Oil On A Buick - How To

[@michaelhungate7506]

I have a 2001 Buick lesabre and that manifold gasket sound is identical to my car's sound. The 3800 is a stellar engine. Still runs strong and doesn't burn oil. 185,000 miles.

[@TattsForLife]

the 3800 engines are great engines, I know a ton with almost 300,000 miles on them and still going strong

I have an 05 lacrosse got it at 72k 2 years ago, just now pushing 90k they’re definitely solid except last month my coolant elbows went, both of them started spewing coolant, upgraded to metal elbows and 👍🏾

[@michaelhungate7506]

@@Omgkhii oh yeah, the coolant elbows. They had been replaced with the metal ones before I got the car. They always crack at the same place with the original plastic ones.

[@Omgkhii]

Yeah, I found out the hard way like most😂 cheap to fix it and you can very easily do it yourself instead of paying a shop to fix or misdiagnose it hope i make it to 300k now

This was very helpful, I have a ‘94 park Ave and wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing before I jacked it up

[@TattsForLife]

Thanks for watching

[@ZoruaZorroark]

i had noticed the first couple oil changes i did on my 91 park ave, it didn't seem to like the synthetic oil i used, but it ran noticeably better after the third oil change. also, the trick you spoke of with the new filter, i was also taught that growing up helping my dad with fixing the family cars

[@diegoortiz8160]

Great video, cool accent!

[@TattsForLife]

Thanks! 😃

[@FloopyDragoon]

Thank you for the vidoe; i havent had luck in the past with full synthetic but i will give it a whirl on this one and see how she runs

[@JisINSANE3]

Any oil consumption on this engine? Mine has 80k on it and uses a quart every 3000miles. Did the pcv valve and fixed the manifold gasket. Still using oil

[@TattsForLife]

I cant tell really if this car uses oil, it has the valve covers leaking and is missing a quart about ever oil change

Thanks for watching!

[@the-engneer]

I appreciate this did help. Know how to change oil, but this car tripped me out because the battery is under the seat lol, so I check how to do everything on this car

[@TattsForLife]

Happy you found my video helpful

[@nadiafryar5692]

Is it the same for a 2005 Buick rendezvous?

[@TattsForLife]

not sure to be honest, but most oil changes are almost the same lol, find the filter and drain the oil, good luck and thanks for watching

Thanks

[@djizzal20]

Damn he let that car down hard 🤣

[@TattsForLife]

He did lol

[@jamesh5937]

He used the wrong oil it’s supposed to be 5w something can’t remember

[@countrymountaintrade]

No, he is correct; the 3800 V-6 was spec'd to 10W-30.

[@michaelwright1602]

@@countrymountaintrade Mine says 5W-30 on the cap... 2003 Buick Park Avenue, same motor.

[@joejones9944]

@@michaelwright1602 Same Engine but later model. Could be anything different They used on the Engine build at General Motors. Different torch specs on the bearings or a thinner or thicker bearings. Will make it call for a different Weight of Oil.
