DIY - HOW TO CHANGE OIL CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

[@tylerjamesr1]

Thanks a lot - great video

[@kellycannon9976]

Fentertainment, thank you so much for providing this video! I typically pay Valvoline to do my oil changes because my husband is always slammed with work. We decided we can't keep paying $100+ every time. I bought all the stuff and then my husband got hurt at work (fire dept.) on Friday. He keeps saying he still has to change my oil, but I don't want him hurting his back even more. Your video makes me feel confident enough to change it myself so he doesn't have to. Thank you!

Great idea GM had putting that oil filter where you can’t see it also I would recommend putting a small amount of some kind of lube on your dipstick upper handle inset area , I had a heckuva time getting money to release same with the oil cap can be stubborn...

[@lincolnmicrophonellc]

Great production and editing! I've done my Traverse in the past but I needed a quick confidence refresher to get me going, this vid was just the thing. Thanks!

[@GODZILLA-yu1yf]

Hi how to change the spark plugs in Traverse 2012?

[@tl5684]

I watched your video because I recently bought a 2015 traverse and noticed how packed the motor is. I'm hoping I can pull that oil filter up as easy as you did. Your video was very helpful and I like your simple made bottle funnel. Good idea.

[@Fentertainment]

Thanks for watching Todd, I appreciate it.

[@ronniepemberton1942]

How did you get under the car without lifting it some how

[@chrisclay2422]

Excellent video! Thanks for helping us save money, the dealership wanted 45 dollars and the local lube shop 55! Very thorough video I cannot believe what the few dislikes are for.

[@jesusoropeza9675]

Awesome video, staright to the point, detailed and the way things should be, recycle don't just throw it away, i will be changing the oil on my newly acquired 2010 traverse and this video was very straightforward, thanks, cool truck and boat man!!

[@Fentertainment]

Thanks. I also hate videos that people just ramble.

[@dianaflores14161]

Great video thank you

[@thewhatever24789]

what size shoe do you wear?

[@robertdeanda1961]

Hold what bottom down to reset oil life 🤔

[@davidyoung8]

Great job with the video, easy to follow, straight forward and understandable. Did my oil change in 20 minutes.. or less.

[@Ron-h4l]

I have a 2011 Chevy traverse LTZ have a few PF48 filters can, I used that or will have to buy the PF63E filter.

[@robertdeanda1961]

All good but you need to use Dexos motor oil preferred manufacturer motor oil type.

[@SuthrnBella1980]

This is an awesome video. I feel like now I can service my Traverse myself efficiently. I am trying to save money and this helps me a lot.

[@x01e]

where is the mention if how much of a pain it is to get the filter back on?

[@Fentertainment]

LOL, I know what you mean. The more you do it the easier it will get.

[@klaidenmorad103]

exactly . today was my first time that I was changing oil filter for this car what the pain to losing it and worst to tied it back my god what bad design even I that had mechanic shop for years and did thousand oil change i had straggle to put it back . hahah

[@KWAKA88]

I thought I had the wrong filter at first then saw the comment of a pain it was and felt better that it was a struggle to find the threads.

[@ryanburlone6440]

Good job. My oil goes to recycling center. Old oil filter goes in my garbage. No going that deep. Can care less about environmental stuff.

[@yutsuanhernandez29]

Hello there friend I will like to know if have a video how to change the front and back brakes pads thanks

[@Fentertainment]

I do not sorry.

[@SnaZZyHaze]

1A Auto on KZbin has a complete brake job video

[@rickkoehler3690]

I use Mobil 1 oil and Wix filters are the best. Thanks for the video.

[@louofm1]

Rick Koehler me too... Mobil 1 with wix, Purolator gold, k&n, or Mobil 1 filters only

[@jcinewilliams8819]

Thank you. Straight to the point

[@Resetube33]

Which do you the oil plug??? Got damn it!!!!

[@oscargonzales1399]

how often do you change your synthetic oil

[@louofm1]

Always do the same. Mobil 1 full synthetic with a quality filter (like Mobil 1, k&n, Purolator gold, or wix). I run it about 7000 miles. Oil could probably go longer but filters shouldn't go longer. Mobil 1 is always cheap at Walmart or advanced Auto parts

[@MoneyManHolmes]

Does the oil filter drain directly to the ground or does it run all over the under carriage?

[@Fentertainment]

It does get on the under carriage. I like to spray it off afterwards. I didnt mention that though.

[@alexflores953]

What an awesome video, thank you. Nice truck by the way.

[@Fentertainment]

Thanks man I appreciate it.

[@chrisclay2422]

Excellent video except wish you would have taken a few seconds to show EXACTLY where the oil nut is in relation to where you are working. For example is more on the front right or left side, middle under the car and what does the whole part of the oil pan or whatever you call it look like so we can identify the nut, for idiots like me. Again great video. Also what size is the ratchet if you don't use or have the `15 mm.

[@Fentertainment]

You're Right. This is good constructive criticism. I should have taken a shot of the oil pan bolt. The oil pan will be flat underneath the motor, The bolt will be on the back side of it. I think it may be a tad closer to the drivers side of the vehicle but its pointing at a 45* angle on the pan.

[@PhlipPhlop6]

Great video. The drain plug is located on the passenger side of middle of the car. This video shows the tech going at it from the front of the car. you can also access it from the side of the car, but you have to turn the wheels to get an angle. Front of the car is the best method -- you just can't really see it. And BTW, if you're looking for the battery, it's under the back seat passenger side. LOL....

[@frescoinspections]

This was a great informative video! Simply made. Thanks for making it. The prices at the local shops for an oil change on our 2016 Traverse are $50 and up. Are they crazy? So hoping to have my two son's (with my help) complete our first oil change.

[@Fentertainment]

Very Cool, The 16s are a tad different but same principal.

[@ppvfd121]

I wish we had an oil recycling center like that. Everyone around here just dumps it.

[@juliopaez2006]

GM is so stupid with this design of the oil filter location.

[@Fentertainment]

I agree.

[@yutsuanhernandez29]

Great 👍 job thanks so much for the video 😁👍😃😀😎

[@jamesps78]

Dang, great job with this video! Best one I have seen so far, thanks for the help as I prepare for my first DIY oil change!

[@davidyoung8]

Well done. Great DIY. Thank you!

[@dennislomenzo2098]

Awesome....Thanks great video

[@87gsarah]

Great Video, you do a great of explaining

[@jrjd1999]

Next time take the oil cap off when you drain the oil as well

[@redfish3054]

I have never seen a oil filter come off that easy lol

[@Fentertainment]

I cut about 2 minutes out of that part of the video.

[@antionestewart3412]

thank you

[@Fentertainment]

You're Welcome.

[@kokopellikells]

2016 Traverse takes 6 QTS of oil not 5 1/2 and you should ALWAYS PRIME YOUR OIL FILTER

[@Pokesean1]

2013 with 3.6 shows 6.4 quarts of oil

[@slowbutsure504]

Oh, and as a trash guy, dont just put it in your trash can either, we wont take it.

[@johnhoey6512]

You forgot to tighten your oil filter there bucko...

[@wolfheart2443]

Nope he hand tightened it, like it supposed to be.

[@jerryknapp4433]

THIS PROCESS IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ON A 2013 AND NEWER. THE FILTER IS A DROP IN TYPE ON THE DRIVER SIDE, FRONT OF THE ENGINE.

[@Deedylicious26]

Thanks buddy you're a KZbin angel! I've learned how to change my headlights from KZbin and now thanks to you i know I'll successfully change my oil as well! Your video was simple and quick. Love your mannerism of protecting the environment by properly discarding the old oil and cleaning the drippings lol i could tell you were raised in a good ole southern home! s/o to your parents and very nice truck btw! #NewSubscriber
