How to change the oil & filter on a 2007-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe? - GMC, & Cadillac Trucks - EGM DIY

[@Willard-qn1of]

Great Video. Just purchased an 2011 Chevy Silverado and helped me doing an oil change.

[@obetmagno]

Cracked me up when you dropped the filter and said "fantastic"...

[@S.0.G]

Scared to get dirty from the oil pan bolt but don’t mind getting dirty from the oil filter cuz you been doing it for so many years?! 😂 Good video 👍

[@SuperDanielB1]

I just bought a 2011 Silverado so I appreciate your video - saves me one extra crawl under the truck to find where everything is at. However I wouldn't be changing synthetic oil every 3,000 miles though - I go 10,000 at least with synthetic. Manual states about 7,000 miles for just standard motor oil. I bought my truck right after the oil was changed with standard oil and the DIC tells me I still have 49% oil life after 6000 miles. You might also want to wipe all the oil off of the engine oil pan before you screw on the new filter. LOL Overall it is a great presentation - you're a natural instructor. Thanks!

[@DavesGamez]

I spoke with a mechanic he stated that factory will say 10,000 but you should always change the oil at around 5,000 or 7,000 the most, you want your engine to last longer.

[@albertnava02]

Only liked bc you dropped the filter! I do it every time.

[@igotanM16]

I usually add fresh oil to the new filter before putting it on to avoid any dry starts or air bubbles in the chambers. Smart idea.

[@michaelclark277]

I was wondering if it hurts the motor if you don't put oil in the filter to avoid dry starts .I do that that too ..dry starts scare me

[@joehyundaitech7961]

grate video the only thing I would have done different is cleaned the oil filter housing area befor putting the new filter on because after the new one is on it is difficult to gain access to it to clean. brake parts cleaner works grate on those pipes with oil on them. I also like to fill my filter with oil or at least half way if the filter is mounted this way. I do it in my ford. one thing in your video you did mention is every 3 k not with full syn oil this veh can go 5 or 6 k befor the next change on full syn.. the oil drain bolt torque is 18 ftlbs

[@mathewhunt81]

hey! great video! only think i can add though is to always check your oil after the car has sat 10 or 15 minutes in order to get an accurate reading. great job man !! keep it up !!!

[@Toolaholic7]

Starting in 2011,GM uses Dexos approved oil and GM can turn down engine warranties if not used.Any vehicle with a cartridge type oil filter,the filter gets changed first.The old oil will mix with the new.if this is not done

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

You are absolutely correct.

[@briangreenlee7969]

Might be a dumb question but I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 5.3 and want to change my oil. How do I know if its cartridge type oil filter?

[@MaricaLinn]

"I love my wife" lol that's awesome 😄 great tutorial

[@johnh6791]

Love the filter drop!!! My kind of people! :)

[@ama-isaac]

Hey man! I have a tahoe. I was wondering if there's a gasket I need to replace with the drain plug

[@michaelclark277]

Did you fill the new filter to avoid dry starts? Or does it matter ?

[@intellektualPoet]

Great video bro. Really detailed and clearly explained. Thank you!

[@gskills]

thanks for this video

[@Darryl6636]

Very informative thank you but at the fourth hole on the dip stick isn't that the full mark?

[@JesusSanchez-fj5sz]

Is the oil pan to the left or right side of the car ?

[@waelgalal5808]

Hallo pro I have Yukon 2009 running 350000 kilo what is recommended oil

[@MrMn2k11]

Any body havi g problem with oil burning quickly i get the add oil message after about 500 miles maybe i have a leak or im not fillin to the right capacity any suggestions?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

Check for leaks before anything else

[@dubaisupercars9205]

Cool thanks

[@itsSAL100]

thank you for the step by step

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

Thanks for watching.

[@jadrianprater5331]

If you want to burn less oil , you should get the cylinder deactivation deleted.

[@johanseminario5194]

how? i have a 07 Avalanche and I want to delete that AFM stupid thing

[@erikjames3523]

How sway?

[@moefarhat8273]

I have tahoe 2007 4x4 I use 15/40 semisentetic can I return to 5w/30 .the mileage is 152 thousand miles

[@alexarzate4355]

Is the oil plug in the back front middle?

[@marcdalmeida7970]

What can I use used toilet paper for?😂😂😂 Great vid!

[@hectorpaz4701]

i have same vehicle. would you recommend going from regular oil to the synthetic oil as shown here? would it a be problem on my next oil change to convert to synthetic oil?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

It shouldn't be a problem at all. Once you go to synthetic you shouldn't go back.

[@hectorpaz4701]

ok thank you

[@jimmybarrom8832]

Is there a reason you didn't fill the new filter with oil before you installed it?

[@isaactaylor1833]

Jimmy Barrom because you do not ever need to do that

[@johncanales8186]

Cool channel dude. I was wondering if you can show us how do to an oil change on a Cadillac CTS. Thanks a lot dude!!!

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

Not a problem buddy... Cadillac's are my specialty

[@elcharro8008]

does the oil filter need to be filled up with oil??

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

I personally don't think that is necessary

[@elcharro8008]

oh ok thanks

[@jackriley7967]

It is not necessary but it will help with the start up. It will take a few seconds for the motor to fill the filter and you are basically dry starting the motor.

[@eddyeddy4277]

Thanks so much good video Grasias amigo buen video

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

+Edgar Gálvan Gracias. Yo Hablo español tambien pero no lo escribo bien.

[@alisaleh4758]

Is synthetic oil required for tahoe?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

Check your owners manual to be sure. Most do...

[@evertmejia2667]

Dumb question but do you have to lift the truck?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

depends on weather or not you fit under it. I did. I weight 235 lbs.

[@wolfkixs9022]

I weigh the same and I don’t fit under mines lol I have to lift it

[@sealot2420]

You mentioned using a 13 mm wrench to remove the drain plug but using a 15 mm wrench to install the drain plug.

[@nathanyounis2236]

Punch a hole in filter first then let oil drain then take it off and you dont get a mess

[@jt9544]

I don’t know what’s going on with my Tahoe but I just changed my oil and filter and when I checked the oil level it was about a half inch above the full line so I go take oil out of the drain plug the next day and no oil comes out... I put the vehicle at different lift levels to see if any would come out and nothing... but when I go to check the oil level on the dipstick it still says I’m over the full line... anybody know what this is?

[@alfonsofernandez4930]

15 mm sucket on tahoe 2011

[@basim-pq5ty]

what is the best oil engine for tahoo?

[@Batmaanz]

I personally only drive Tahoe's. I only use Pennzoil

[@videos8601]

Thanks

[@tahitiantraveler1]

Do I need to lift the car?

[@jhp1100]

thank you, i got it

[@anthonysweed3239]

Do I need the truck running when filling up with oil?

[@EducatedGreaseMonkey]

No... do not turn on the car with out oil. You turn the car on once you've filled up the oil. So that it can circulate in the engine and then you can check the level accurately.

[@saadsleem1409]

Thanks 🖒🖒🖒🖒

[@yepnope4513]

used toilet paper lol
