Yo no se ingles pero te doy gracias por compartir este video es de un gran beneficio que Dios te BENDIGA muchas gracias

[@hollispage8885]

In so far as it goes,for high mileage engines, I prefer to fill filter to reduce the brief rattling when starting but that's my preference.

[@sartainja]

Hollis Page great advice.

[@UncleSarkis]

Absolutely, why not especially since it's vertical.

[@JoshRD]

On those GM oil caps its a good idea to spray some silicone around the rubber gasket. They become tough to removed with age.

[@oldirtybradster]

Helped to see someone doing the job before I did myself. Thanks fellas. I warmed up my truck so the oil would drain out better but the damn oil filter was too hot to hold onto and I dropped it in the pail lol. Other than that, the job was a relatively easy one.

[@B_HarTz]

5-10 min warm up is all you need, lol not a 30 min fun joy ride lol

[@KnowGreenRunHOA]

Great video...I've changed oil for years, but I watched this video before crawling underneath. Glad I did. I was prepared for the amount of oil that was pouring out when twisting off the oil filter. Thanks.

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@bobwesr9771]

nice work dude I'm going to be working on my suburban this weekend.Thanks for the video

[@jimmyinglish2669]

Good video! I use same wrench to remove filter but I always use a good dry blue shop towel and tighten filter hand tight. Just always remember the German torque spec... Goodentight

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching! I love that goodentight thing, can I use that in the future?

[@MatthewDavidAlbritton]

Exactly what I needed to know -- thanks guys!

I need to do this today, good luck for me, lol. Thanks for sharing

[@pjkinn1350]

Great video, but its missing one key step, resetting the oil life gauge on the instrument cluster to read 100% after you have completed the oil change. You should include that for your subscribers as well.

[@1rraull]

Thanks for your comment 😁. I just changed my oil to my 2005 Chevy Tahoe like 2 days ago and the “change engine oil” was still popping up. I just found another video to show me how to reset it. Youngin learning little by little 😌

[@royXax]

For those wondering how, turn key to on position (don't start the truck) and press the gas pedal to the flopr and then let off of it. Do that 5x in quick succession until the truck resets it

[@monceresendiz2977]

I think I am ready to do the oil change thanks the video is simple and quick

[@JuanPablo-dv5fh]

thank u this helped me alot lol my truck had a tiny ass filter had to go buy a new filter wrench

[@addygrl2431]

Thank you for this video.

[@meestameestaaaaaa]

Does the new oil filter need oil inside of the can first before the install?

[@agustinvidal2344]

nice video, can you make a video of an easy way to change the spark plugs for a Yukon Denali 2002

[@callsigndagger4549]

Thanks i was never taught how to do this but i know now

[@samsores8042]

Great video!

[@2carpros]

+Sam Sores Thank you

[@thatguy_jose]

Do you need to buy the short or the tall oil filter???

[@anthonykouts3343]

Looks good. A few things tho. I’ve been a mechanic for over 20 years. 1) I really hope you didn’t spray the cleaner (we sometimes use break cleaner at Chevrolet) to get the oil off. But if u did, I just hope u didn’t get it in the actual oil filter drain. 2) if your car is a 3.6L, then you would reverse it and normally put 6.3 qts. It’s okay to go over such as 6.5 quarts. If it’s 6 quarts, then just fill it to 6. No need to fill it almost to there. Better to over fill than under fill as it would burn your engine. You did a good video tho for the people who didnt know how to change their oil.

[@crazyvideos8816]

Damn man thanks good video

[@JoshRD]

Never tighten an oil filter with a filter wrench... ever. 1. You could easily over tighten it 2. You could just as easily dent the filter (a dented filter is no good and should be thrown out right away)

[@Primus-ue4th]

Josh I just turn mine as tight as I can by hand

[@timbrown364]

hand tight + 1/4 turn.

[@banjogordo]

Hand tight plus one quarter turn with a wrench. No danger of denting the oil filter because the force used to turn the wrench the extra quarter turn is minimal.

[@juniasurinphong]

excellent thanks

[@renecalderon9299]

What type of oil filter number does this Tahoe take?

[@chivamisfit]

2CarPros why did you use a 10w30 oil? I have a 2004 chevy tahoe (V8 5.3L LT 2WD) with 121K miles, what oil viscosity would u recommend I use? Thanx!

[@2carpros]

Sorry for the confusing but the customer wanted to us to use that specific type of oil on his vehicle. You should always use the oil called for by the manufacturer of the vehicle. Please subscribe if you have not already.

[@mariaharris9314]

so easy and simple....Thanks...

[@eric-ik7kv]

Do you add fill it with oil before or after changing the filter

[@sick370z]

Before

[@420killahkush]

Should i always change my oil filter with the oil change? And how often should i change the air filter?

[@2carpros]

Always inspect the air filter every time you change the oil.

[@bblazeff1]

what is the cap right above where the oil drains from? mine is missing and a crank is exposed

[@2carpros]

On the transmission?

[@speedyloc8746]

Will this apply to my 02 escalade with a 5.3 vortec??

[@2carpros]

It will be very similar or the same. Thanks for watching!

[@GothLunaMoth]

What is 15 mm equivalent to in fractions? I have plenty of tools! I just don’t know which wrench to get before I get down there so… thank you!

[@2carpros]

That's 9/16 but not all metric wrenches translate over and even that one isn't perfect. Thanks for watching!

[@pibblesnbits]

0:50....what is the name of that circular cap to the right of the oil filter? Thanks!!!

[@nickclark515]

Torque converter access hole cover

[@snowrhoda]

Question.. at the very end, you said to add oil up to the third hole on the dipstick. I thought it was supposed to be up to the last hole?

[@2carpros]

Between the 3rd and 4th is fine. Thanks for watching!

[@josephramosperez2691]

Does anyone know what that cap looking thing is its shiny my truck is missing that and idk if that's why its leaking

[@daltonbrink9924]

It's a dust cover for the torque converter.

[@axtra92]

5.3 vortec from 2000 Should i use regular or synthetic oil?

[@2carpros]

Full synthetic! Thanks for watching!

[@banjogordo]

Use 5 quarts of oil ! I have a 1999 Tahoe . I drained the oil, changed the oil filter, added 6 quarts of oil. After warming up, the oil dipstick read about a quart high. The next day I dropped the new oil filter, dumped (and saved the new oil, approximately one quart), cleaned the outside of the oil filter and reinstalled. After warming the dipstick indicates a proper full reading now . Use 5 quarts of oil even with a new filter is my lesson here.

[@2carpros]

It takes 6. Thanks for watching!

[@banjogordo]

@@2carpros Not in mine !

[@warrinkrull455]

Okay, so I'm watching this after my friend tried taking off my filter and I just wanted to make sure we were twisting it the right way, because we were going lefty loosey but it wont come off. My friend tried so hard that he dented and broke open the filter. It is really mauled. I took a picture of it and showed it to my friends dad who is a mechanic and he told me I need to take it into a shop right away. The only problem is I dont have any money and was wondering if theres a way for me to still fix this on my own.

[@2carpros]

You need a large pair of channel locks to get a grip on the filter and twist it off. And yes lefty loosey here guys. Thank you for watching!

[@CoquiAudio]

hello sir I got a question I own a 2002 GMC Yukon Denali 6.0L engine, I was looking online and the type of oil is 5W-30 can I use 10W-30 instead ?

[@2carpros]

It is always best to use whatever oil the manufacturer says to use, depending on where you live 10W-30 should be fine

[@CoquiAudio]

2CarPros thank you sir I live in Puerto Rico so does make sense to use 10W-30 cause tropical weather here is hot all the time lol I just wanna to be sure, and thank you guys your videos are amazing well descriptive and helpful gracias :)

[@2carpros]

Oh yeah you are good then. Thank you so much for watching!

[@3printer3]

Why fill only to the red dot?

[@nidal1475]

can castrol gtx high mileage 5-30w work for tahoes & suburbans ?

[@2carpros]

+Nidal Al Saleh Yes that will work just fine

[@ryanp4727]

That's what i use on my 03 Tahoe full synthetic 1007 k&n oil filter

[@rachelestrada148]

Will this work on a 2009 Tahoe?

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

+Rachel Estrada It'll work on all vehicles. Just consult your manual to find the right filter & oil type and amount.

[@dirt2595]

Did u have to jack it up still or can u get under it as it sits?

[@2carpros]

We jacked it up. Maybe you can get under it with out jacking it up. Thanks for watching!

[@kbanghart]

Let me know if you try to do it without lifting it, I'm thinking about trying it but I know it will be a very tight fit for me LOL

[@zackrearden4925]

Plen122 I did it without lifting it, it was pretty tight but I was still able to change the oil and filter

[@Vizr]

4x4 no jack needed. Now the RWD needs some jacking. Plus I'm fat so yeah...

[@crustysplinters826]

its best to fill the filter before installing..

[@2carpros]

On much older vehicles yes but, on cars from the 90's and up it is really unnecessary. It fills within seconds of starting the engine.

[@mdvonte3552]

2 things wrong with this video. NEVER use a filter wrench to put on filter. Hand tight. And pull the filler cap prior to draining the oil allows for proper and quicker drainage.

[@2carpros]

Due to the position of the oil filter it is difficult with people with large hands to get " hand tight " on this oil filter. In the video it says to tighten with the oil wrench but lightly clamp the oil filter not damaging the filter internally. Also the oil cap does not need to be off for the oil to drain out of the pan or filter. All of our videos have been done by a certified ASE mechanic with over 35 years of experience. If you have anymore question, feel free to ask at www.2carpros.com/questions/new

[@Boobtube.]

2CarPros if the mechanic has 35 yrs experience, he should know that anywhere in the "hashed" area of the dipstick is within spec. Does not have to be up to the "3rd hole" as the video said.

[@2carpros]

XboobtubeX Is the 3rd hole in the middle of the hashed area? Then I believe it was stated correctly.

[@Boobtube.]

2CarPros People are led to believe the oil HAS to be to the 3rd hole the way this video is stated. All I am saying is, it is ok for the oil to be above or below the "3rd hole". just as long as it is in the hashed area. The video says nothing about oil level being ok anywhere in the hashed area. All that is shown is the 3rd hole. While this is still a good level, it is not the only safe spot for the oil level to be.

[@2carpros]

Awesome thank you for the input. Please subscribe if you have not already.

[@timmytool1231]

I always take oil cap off first, helps the oil flow, also I crank the engine, not letting it start, amazing how much more oil comes out.

[@hedionda71]

Cranking the engine may be causing the pump to draw oil from the filter which you would be draining anyway. This may drain the pump and filter lines of old oil but it may also introduce air into the lines and affect the time it takes for new, clean oil to get to the valves. I go so far as to put oil into the new filter before installation when possible to reduce the amount of time it takes to fill the lines with oil.

[@dennystrate3186]

the cap on the Tahoe said 5w30 and he used 10w30 oil

[@brandonb3582]

Denny Strate you can use 10w30 as well

[@projectburban3870]

Denny Strate I use 10w40

[@orion8981]

Manufacture spec is 5w30 but the engines are pretty tolerant to a few different oils.

[@kbanghart]

My 1999 suburban says 5w30, but the first owner put 10 W 30 for a long time. I've used both, synthetic and non-synthetic, lol pretty much everything. But I mainly try to use what it says on the cap.

[@lonniethomas4343]

It really doesn't matter. As long as its a good weight oil.

[@bblazeff1]

yes, there is what looks like a 3 inch cap on the bottom and then maybe a 1 inch above that one.

[@2carpros]

Yeah that is just a visual port so you can see what the flywheel is doing. We have had a few trucks come in with out the cover installed like yours. It is ok if the cap is missing.

[@bblazeff1]

[@timgibson1364]

The filler cap clearly says to use 5/30! Why did you not use that weight?

[@2carpros]

All oils are the same "weight" firstly, the W stands for winter believe it or not. Secondly if an engine is a bit worn it is a good idea to use a more viscous oil to help take up clearances better. Thanks for watching!

I was always taught to fill the oil filter 3 quarter of the way up with oil before install .

[@2carpros]

Back in the old days you did. But now a days these cars fill the thing up under a second. Thanks for watching!

[@dcpjoker256]

I’ve never did a oil change without filling the filter

[@2carpros]

Can you if want to but, it is unnecessary. There are plenty of oil filters that install at a right angle and it would be impossible to pre fill. Thanks for watching!

[@st911000]

😑 I've been paying Jiffy Lube almost $60 for this for the past 2 years? I wish I had lube for that wallet fucking lol

[@2carpros]

Yeah, and there is no way to tell if they even did a total job. I have heard stories where lube shops take 1 quart out and put 1 new quart in so it changes color slightly, then just wipe down the oil filter so it looks new. It's always better to do the job yourself for the sake of completion not to mention the savings.
