Watched three of these suburban oil change videos that were horrible quality. Really wished I found this one first, great filming, angles, lighting and quality. I changed my oil and came back to youtube to see this as recommended lol
Recently lowered my 08 Escalade, and changed the oil right before I did that. Jacking it up for an oil change instead of simply driving it up some ramps seems like too much extra work when it's real cold outside. I am pretty glad I decided to buy the low profile long reach floor jack from Harbor Freight a year or two ago. Should make life a little easier
You ever check out Fumoto drain plug valves? I have a 24V Cummins and Dodge made the drain plug flush with the oil pan in the center. Use the square 3/8 ratchet drive to loosen and tighten. Insane mess every time. Bought the Fumoto and it's soooo easy. Worth every penny on my diesel. Not sure if you've heard of that or are interested.
@@TWAMotorsports ok. Mine are on the way. I just wanted to see if you had them on your ta. To see if you like them or notice a difference in handling.. have a great weekend and be safe out there my friend 👍🇺🇲....
I have a gmt800 truck and after every oil change I put my gas down and turn over the motor (puts it in flood mode so its cuts fuel) so it serculates oil through out so it doesnt dry start
Hi , Travis .. Is true that old engine like Chevy suburban 2009 with more than 200 thousand miles we should USE an oil rated 20/50 instead of 5/30 especially in hot areas?!
How many miles (or months) is the "oil life" display calibrated to? Can that be changed, say, if one is running full synthetic vs. std. 5W30? (5,000 miles vs. 3000 miles.)
I always used that same oil in my stuff and recently my main mechanic said that it wasn’t recommended for my Tahoe and to just use conventional oil. My Tahoe is an 07, he said he thought it was 2011 or newer or somewhere around there that they recommended the synthetic oil. I was having oil leaks and he though they may be worse because of the thinner oil I was using. My Tahoe is the 5.3 with 177K miles on it. Any insight on this? I also burn a decent amount of oil between changes one reason I opted to try the cheaper stuff since I’m burning a quart or up to 2.5 in some months between changes. Stupid AFM.
Your burning that oil,,, because of the damage done by the AFM system. This excess burning will not end, until you replace cam, lifters, and mechanically delete that afm system. You can software delete it,,,, but the damage is already done inside your engine.
@@MrDavez yep. I hate AFM. Mines still active because I do t really see the point now. It has 178k Miles. I got it with 121k has burned a a quart every 2,500 miles since I’ve owned it. Recently replaced a clogged cat because of it. Oh well. I’ll keep chugging her down the road. Still runs and looks great.
AI Generated: Do the filter first. Punch a hole in the center of the oil filter and drain it, lot less mess. Pre-fill the oil filter (if vertical) it saves 6 seconds of dry start (glad you like it). The reason you had problems removing the drain plug and the filter is because you don't torque it to the right specs, and your a little stronger then the average bear. Use a torque wrench for the [peace of mind] and striping out [drain pans] is expensive. The 2007 Chevrolet Suburban drain plug is 18 ft/lbs: If exists a socket for the filter is 18-20 ft/lbs. Make sure old filter o'ring comes off with filter, and pre-oil new o'ring. TWA, never ever ever re use a gasket.
Poke hole in bottom of oil filter,, once you verify it moves, and is NOT stuck on block, because of some gorilla handed lube tech,, then put plastic grocery bag over filter,, spin off and catch in bag,,, most of the mess and the filter. ;)

Should I buy a whole new plug for the drain bolt? Or just that gasket?
Gm ones generally have the gasket in them.
Ever put marvel mystery oil in engine?

Very good idea. Thanks for that information

I never use that thick of oil.

Its based off temp, miles, rpm. Not mileage based
Are the jack stands on the description work good? Have you had any issues with those?
They work great and I have had zero issues
Do you have a video on dropping obs
On the 2 door tahoe I had which is the same for the most part
When are you going to do the power window conversion on the Sierra
It will be a long time

Yes if you have leaks synthetic oil will find a way out. I deleted my afm/dod

OILFILTER WHY YOU DON'T USE THE AC DELCO
Because they are plastic inside now
My screws are rusting under the hood what does this mean..
Wet environment I guess
