[@punkystarwood]

Can I just say thank you for this video. It helped me tremendously changing oil on my terrain for the first time. You rock!

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Great to hear!

[@garylam6233]

Excellent video for DIY people that don’t trust the lube crooks ! You have a great teaching technique Look forward to more Thanks

[@HellzDrifter]

You needed a video to teach you how to perform a basic oil change? Oh poor bubba. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@garylam6233]

@@HellzDrifter it isn’t a basic oil change when the oil filter is hidden inside a hidden canister ! However when trolling the internet for self esteem enrichments ,I could see how my comment was targeted !!

[@HellzDrifter]

@@garylam6233 It’s basic to us, canister filters are common on vehicles these days and still easy to swap out.

I highly recommend changing your oil on these 2.4 GM motors every 3000 miles.. NEVER go by the oil life on the dash!!.. These vehicles have extremely dirty internals from Carbon build up due to a Bad design from GM. These motors also have a bad PCV design. I recommend install a catch can system to avoid blowing out your front and rear main seals, the OEM pcv system tends to plug up easily.. Last thing is to overhaul your complete timing chain system every 100k miles. Id also pull the valve cover off every 50k miles and inspect for timing chain slack..

[@heyitsbroski]

I have an oil catch can for my wife's 2012 Terrain and it's been an engine saver.

[@zacchiki2811]

Yeah I put one on my wife’s 2012 terrain also. Another thing to look out for is changing your transfer case and diff fluid a couple times a year..

[@rhurtadorh32]

I have 2 oil catch cans and added a pcv valve system to the terrain. No problems at all, only issue those engines like to burn oil ALOT.

[@kenbryant7450]

Well done. This is the only video you need to watch on this subject.

[@alansilva8753]

Thank you Soo much for providing the links they're incredibly helpful!

[@frankgilbert9161]

The only other person I’ve seen put in that extra half a quart. Good shit bro keep it proper like a bk whopper

[@bobhobbs9369]

Dude excellent video very well done I like the way you took your time explaining everything in detail the only change I would make is fiddle farting around with that ratchet I believe I would try to find a longer extension to go on the racket and then put the 32 mmmm on the end of the extension other than that you done a hell of a good job young man 👍👍👍👍👍ç👍

[@derekbradford8271]

the oil filter is to be install on the oil filter cap before you insert into the engine

[@joshb40]

27 years on this earth and it took me to now to do somthing so easy also learned Q tips aren’t used for your ears…. I’m leveling up lately.

[@pizzamanfitness]

Very thorough explanation and video, thanks man 👏🏾

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Thanks Pizza Man!

[@jaylu1997]

I have a 2015 2.4 L GMC Terrain SLE. I feel like this vehicle burns too much on fuel than it should. Any recommendations? When I check the guage it has 17 mpg and best avg is 23.5 mpg. I'm keeping it parked as much as possible at this point. Planning to do an oil change soon.

[@ryanchristensen1799]

It all depends on the brand gas you're using, 87,89, 90+? I got the best mpg with shell 89 octane non ethanol gas. I was avg around 27-28 mpg on a level road using that gas. Unfortunately, that was yrs before gas went way up, so now I just use 87 ethanol and only get around 24-25 at best. Thanks Joe >:(

[@classicjay7786]

Good job!!! Which oil you like better the Mobil 1 or shell gas rotella?

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Tough question! Without any sophisticated scientific testing equipment, its almost impossible for me to say which one is better..... But I'd say I prefer Shell Rotella

[@tonytheitguy]

This is great video. Very well done thank you!!

[@rushsr41]

That was really good bro you took your time it was really understandable really comfortable and tonight I am going to change my own oil thank you very much

[@ikemitch2498]

This the same for 2016 sle 2.4?

[@glenfeys7280]

Use a long extension on your ratchet, makes things a lot easier.

[@thomashanson2058]

Nicely Done, It was thorough and covered everything. Thank You.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

You're very welcome!

[@joseluzmartinezjr560]

muy profesional, buena explicacion y excelente video gracias me ayyudo batante.

[@Liefvanluijn]

Super video and well explained! Thanks dude!!

[@Bearwolf88]

Dumb question, when driving your terrain onto the ramps did you have an issue with the bottom of the front bumper hitting the ramps before the tires got onto the ramps? Thanks

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I did not, but some ramps are higher than others.

[@andresayala8758]

My only concern is which way do you put the filter.

[@jimkoch1040]

Take note when you pull the old one out which way it goes in.

[@proj3cT5150]

Ohh that's how you open the hood...thanks👍🏼😉

[@lamlatti]

Great video to do self. Thank you

[@gottahavegoalsset]

This is great, but use better supports for safety.

[@PhotoBales]

Perfect! Thank you!!

[@daveramsay8115]

Great video

[@anarky4321]

3/8 extension + universal 3/8 joint + shallow 32 socket + 3/8 ratchet (the long handle kind)....i also had to use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter for the socket....no idea why they made this so hard

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I’ve also started using the 32mm-3/8 swivel-x2 long 3/8 extensions- 3/8 ratchet to remove the cap. So much easier

[@rogerdickson2204]

Awesome video & GR8 Dedication....... Definitely covered all information well..... Thank you kindly Sir.....👍👍👍

[@lrblouie]

Thank you!

[@laurreneberry3480]

Thankyou ! I think I can do this.

[@jnew6808]

Appreciate the help you the M a n!

[@Sonnyrmthabx]

Is this oil good for 2020 GMC!

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I'm not sure, Please check your owners manual to confirm!

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

Just tried to do an oil change on a 2.4 Equinox and didn't have that stupid oil filter housing 32mm. Autozone and O'Reilley's didn't have it. Not I have to go to Harbor Freight 😂😂😂

[@coryellis12]

Everybody always say ramps are dangerous. If you use jack stands, I don't see the problem

[@Miles......]

👍👍

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

A 32mm wtf gmc

[@Full-Time_Apprentice]

Thank you 🙏👍
