How to Change Oil in 6.2L and 5.3L Gen V LT Engines (Daily Driver Maintenance)

[@markb3129]

Didn't know the new 5.3l held that much oil. I looking forward to the catch can I'd like to put one on my 2000 5.3l and maybe going to the larger oil filter. Kam's spot on this time! ✌🏻

[@TWAMotorsports]

Kam is a future star! Yeah it is a lot of oil!

Thank you

[@Scrappydoo6628]

You need a long neck funnel for the 5.3, it really helps

[@TWAMotorsports]

I agree

[@ScubaSteve0224]

Catch can is a must!

[@TWAMotorsports]

I need one

[@todaywithbk]

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe GM went to the 0w20 to help with the AFM lifter collapsing due to the thicker oil gumming them up. I prefer to change my oil every 3k and have never had a problem.

[@TWAMotorsports]

You may be right. They still fail though.

[@donaldgavigan9376]

We do it the same except I use my quick jacks to lift it. Kam''s a pro.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I need a set of quik jacks.

[@brandondawson6896]

Cam for the win!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol. We practiced

[@jewllake]

I stopped using that water at about 18K miles on my 2018 6.2. I started using 5w 20 only because it is supposedly more stable than the 0w 20. The last two oil changes I've used 5w 30. No issues, and I feel like I get less oil in my elite catch can. Oil press is a little higher at idle, but not at speed. I also use Amsoil Signature Series and change it after 6 months or 5,000 miles. Both Ford Tech Make U loco and Ford Boss Me agree on the 6 months or 5,000 miles.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you for that information. I may switch over.

[@ericl8593]

I agree with u man on the interval Change . I have used Amsoil sig series for the past 17 years I changed it in my old truck every 6 months . Was never past 7000 miles in that time frame . My old truck lasted 226k and when the body and frame rotted the engine and trans was still running . I actually blew it up doin a burnout for 5 min without letting off ( brand new set of tires lol ) and it finally puked out all the oil in the exhaust prob from valve float and spun something on the lower end but took massive abuse before it let go

[@TWAMotorsports]

Amsoil makea great stuff. Just hate the buying process.

[@lancelackey1862]

Amsoil definitely for the oil, also Amsoil or Wix oil filter. Amsoil sells Wix oil filters as well. What issues have you had when trying to buy Amsoil?

[@johnmcalisterjr3913]

I’m am a amsoil fan. And it comes in one gallon jugs so it makes it easier to do your oil changes cost more but I only charge my oil once a year and about a thousand miles a year and I have piece of mind

[@TWAMotorsports]

I think they make great stuff

[@ericl8593]

Got an elite catch can on my 5.3L 23 Sierra elevation , I run Amsoil but I still got the factory weight oil in there for now , but Iv def wondered about switching to 5-30 just hesitant while it’s under warranty and possible effecting the DFM and VLOM systems still doin my homework on that one

[@TWAMotorsports]

I will probably do a mighty mouse one eventually

[@Scrappydoo6628]

I also put oil on the filter gasket but I remove it from the filter and coat both sides.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Interesting

[@Scrappydoo6628]

@@TWAMotorsports Yes, I've been doing it that way since I worked at a local service station quite a few decades ago. Never had a leak or a gasket stick to the engine block.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Probably a good idea

[@davidguy1575]

0w20 MB1 in my Nissan ..MB1 filter two. Live in S. Texas. Unbelievably hot climate. No issues...158,000 currently. 196,000 on a Chevy Cruze (Turbo) 10k OCI. Too frequent changes defeats the purpose IMO...idk, it works for me the way the product says it will.

[@TWAMotorsports]

👍

[@dennisvandergriff7757]

I put a catch can on my 6.2 and deleted AFM. I hope it last and last. Love Wix

[@TWAMotorsports]

That won't hurt

[@beejay8719]

Awesome!! You ever think about switching oil brands?

[@TWAMotorsports]

I really like mobil 1

[@LJimenez0185]

I need to know what brand of gloves you always use I’ve never seen them ripped 😂😂 mine always does no matter the brand!

[@TWAMotorsports]

9 mill. List them in the description of all my videos

[@MatthewShambo]

My 2023 6.2 has a 7,500 mile change programmed. Do you all suggest 5,000?

[@BrianMoran-uy1xg]

Adding an oil catch can to the 5.3L V8 is a bad idea, since the current V8's have a two stage oil separator built into the block! I assume the larger V8 is identical

[@TWAMotorsports]

Not sure they work great though

[@jesusmane1304]

What tint do you have on the sides and windshield of the Sierra?

[@TWAMotorsports]

5% on all except Windshield which is 35%

[@leecochran5912]

I think your neighbor cut grass every time you make a video 😂

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol. I agree

[@robertvalenzuela685]

What y’all think bout royal purple 5w30 with K&n oil filter for a 2019 sierra Denali 6.2

[@TWAMotorsports]

I'm sure it is good too

[@jimmytwotone2127]

It needs a catch can! Put a J & L OSC on them and look at what they are running back through the intake. No need for that oil to be put through the intake.🍻

[@TWAMotorsports]

I do need a catch can.

[@jimmytwotone2127]

@@TWAMotorsports Ya it doesn't need that crap recirculated back through the motor, I was surprised at how much it pulls out....

[@brendan747]

funny enough, the XP is actually worse for your engine long term. the filter efficiency is much worse on the XP line. bob is the oil guy forms has nick named it a rock catcher. best filter on the market at the moment is the fram ultra guard(walmart), fram titanium(advance auto) or the fram endurance (walmart) all data backed up by iso tests on bitog forums.

Wix xp is for towing

[@TWAMotorsports]

Bingo

[@Rich-cp4wo]

5-30 ain't going to hurt it at all. I've ran 0-20 and 5-30 in my silverado. I'm almost positive it's just for peak performance for the oil weight.

[@TWAMotorsports]

That is kinda what I'm thinking

[@jewllake]

yep CAFE standards. Why does the Camaro and Vette with the 6.2 call for 5w 30?@@TWAMotorsports

[@WBOS72]

0w20 is too thin, cam, rockers and lifters wont last long.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I agree. What do you suggest?

7500 is too many in my opinion
