Great video, Maybe as an addition show views how to reset the “change oil soon warning”. It’s easy to do but not widely available information. Hit the start button with foot off the brake, wait for the lights, push the gas pedal to the floor 3 times. Took me a few times to get the timing right. Cheers !

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you so much:)...i actually do have a video for that as well, its linked on my end screen and its on the cards that appear on video

[@jburddrone7202]

All you have to do is hold the select button on the steering wheel under the oil life selection and it resets to 100%

PS: I changed my oil/filter just now on my 2013 ATS 2.0Turbo. Thanks for the great video. This was the first time I've ever primed the filter. What a great idea. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks, Backyard Chevy guy!!!

[@backyardchevy328]

That's awesome to hear..great job ur oil change...yea the sooner the engine can build oil pressure the better it is for the engine..and filling oil filter with oil helps that out as much as possible. Thanks again for appreciating the video and my channel:)

[@jordiandres7803]

What oil and oil filter did you use???

[@JeffBazell]

Nice shot of you putting fresh oil into the new filter. Sunlit and shiny. MMmm.

[@JettaBoi04]

Great video.. Just make sure to always do the oil filter first before draining the oil.. Just a rule we always followed in the shop.. Especially if you end up with a shitty filter that won’t come off..

Yea they definitely made it easy

Hey im having electric problems on my car, charger port doesnt work and cause my right turn signal to stop working. And my gears dont light up inside my car

[@backyardchevy328]

I would definitely check the fuses before anything else

[@splashmaster037]

Nice video I'm thinking of getting a 14 or 15 ats which is better 3.6 or the 2.0 t

[@backyardchevy328]

i really love the 2.0l havent had any problem with it and its easier to work on.

[@splashmaster037]

Thanks for the info

[@scottwoody437]

I’ve gotten a good amount of power from my 2.0 with some simple mods

[@marxisv9069]

Ok just wanting to know exactly where to jack it and place jack stands?? Would car ramps be better?

[@backyardchevy328]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6avpaZtjt-qfMk i hope the video is helpful i added the ats into it

[@Soccermania517]

Car ramps would be more ideal imo

[@THUGGISHRUGGISH13]

How do you remove the valve cover gasket on the ats? I removed all the bolts but somehow it’s stuck or attached to something on the back part.

[@backyardchevy328]

U removed all the perimeter bolts and the coil bolts? theres also a part on valve cover that kinda sticks out in the rear driver side i believe that has a bolt on it too

[@unclecooper6593]

What type of engine does this car have and what year is this car

[@backyardchevy328]

The 2.0l turbo..but there is a 6 cylinder option too..the one in video is a 2013

[@S.0.G]

What's that orange looking crust on your oil cap? And why add oil quarts at a time? Just asking cuz book calls for 6qts on the 2.0 motor. Good video

[@backyardchevy328]

Looks like the seal picked up the color from the aluminum and the crusty part is just the rubber...and I always check it after a few quarts its habit to make sure I don't overfill, like say u don't get all the oil..u may need 5 and half or even less so I always check to make sure...even on some cars ive noticed manual could say 6.5 quarts and it only needed 5 quarts like on the manual for the Malibu.

[@rand49er]

I have a 2.0T manual trans ATS, and the book says 5 qts.

[@davidjames666]

rand49er the 2.0 awd takes 6 quarts and the 2.0 rwd takes 5 quarts

[@dannythecount2391]

How many mpg on highway and does this car have Bluetooth

[@backyardchevy328]

31mpg on highway..and yes it does have bluetooth

[@stevej655]

Why do the all-wheel drive models require 6 quarts of engine oil while the rear wheel drive models only require 5 quarts?

[@backyardchevy328]

They use different oil pans to make space for the front axle's

[@stevej655]

@@backyardchevy328 it's interesting that the model that has a front differential and less space yet has a larger oil pan

[@backyardchevy328]

@@stevej655 yea i know id figure itd be the other way around too

Does this car have gps?? And do you still have this car

What socket for filter removal? 74/15 ?

[@backyardchevy328]

it depends on the filter, some have more flutes than others

Yea sadly i wish i could redo my first few videos to get rid of music but least all my new videos dont have music...but im glad it was helpful..thank you🙂

[@davidjames666]

Have you tried the dexos1 generation2 oil in your ATS yet? It's available as mobile1, and there is a leaked GM video on KZbin where they talk about its benefits including better mpg, and they made vague reference to a GM turbo engine that under specific driving cycles, the turbo would build up residue, where the generation 2 oil does not, and resolves this issue. I am sure it is our ats 2.0t engine they are referring to!! My car will be done with dealer oil changes next year where I will try it out.

[@davidjames666]

Btw, the case has the green dexos1 logo with the words "gen2" after it.

[@backyardchevy328]

Dexos is a GM specification, meaning the oil passed a certain requirement and it meets GM Specifications...but i have used the oil with that logo on it but have never actually looked to see if it made a difference in mpg or anything else...but id love to hear back if u do notice it make a difference in ur ATS:) and thank you for ur input.
