[@riftraft2015]

5 QUARTS,, 5 QUARTS,,,,,, not 5 gallon 😂 My 2015 Chevy Equinox actually took 5 1/2 quarts to bring the dipstick to the full mark after running the engine and letting it set & settle. You also need the same 3/8 drive tools used by the video mechanic. 1.1/4 socket, swivel & extension as 1/2 drive tools , or impact sockets are too fat to get in there to loosen/remove the filter. Some GM engineer needs flogged for the filter placement. They couldnt have place it a tighter spot to get at. My 2015 Equinox also has a engine sensor right over the oil filter housing making it very difficult to get out. This video was excellent. Made changing my oil easy with the proper 3/8 drive tools. . Thank you. 😁👍

Great talk, i follow good, i put less than 4 gallons of oil, thank you.

[@JohnCRV]

Good catch on the oil!👍

[@keithharris4378]

I use a one and a quarter inch ratchet wrench but you have to cut off the open end. Works way better than a socket. You can also mark your oil filter cap with a paint marker before you take it off so it matches up with the arrow by where the filter cap is that way you dont have to use a torque wrench.

[@JohnCRV]

Great! Thanks

[@MrPlits]

Can we change just the oil filter ? I change the oil, last week and at this moment i dont have the oil filter.

[@JohnCRV]

Good question but I'm not sure.

[@marquzpacheco7196]

Do you put oil on to the o ring that goes onto the cap of the oil filter for a tight seal ? Or is this not recommended? Thank you for the information!

[@JohnCRV]

The oil is for lubing, not to damage the O-ring when inserting into cap.

[@ethanhubbard6029]

I noticed on the cap it says 25 nm. You said tighten to 16 ft lbs but I can’t find any torque specs for the oil filter anywhere else

[@JohnCRV]

I forget what website we got the 16 ft-Lbs. The 25 n-m is the metric system (newton meters) which = to 18.4391 ft-lbs (US standard) We used 16 ft-Lbs to make sure we do not overtighten it... and no leaks, plus easy to take off the next time we do an oil change... I hope that helps.

[@stevenoglesby7843]

I believe you meant to say 5 quarts not gallons of oil to refill. Where did you find a low profile socket, I had to cut off a 1 1/4 combination wrench to make a stubby to get to the filter cap.

Very good video but my interest was in reading the dipstick end - never had a tip like this and I find it hard to determine what the level is. On older cars, it was pretty easy but this one is so different. Any close-ups on the tip after the oil change would be helpful.

Do an oil change ever 3000-4000kms especially if you own a 2010 model with over 150,000k kilometers. It just helps your engine live a lot longer.
