These old vortecs are tanks when maintained and treated right. My dads 4.8 last over 280k and could have kept going but my mom (the goat) decided to have a new block put in. With over 40k miles on and it's a champ
I think jiffy lube cross threaded my plug, I can't barely turn it out, I got halfway and I'm exhausted, I can only hope the oil filter ain't that way too
The bolt was dethreaded and it had a spring in the hole, so I pulled it out and put a self tapping oil plug in after I fished out all the metal shards from it with a magnet, I sure hope it isn't messed up inside from metal shards. But a tiny spring to tighten the bolt blew me away, I never realized such ingenuity existed...
where's ur video?? oh ya,u don't have any. why not just sftu. ppl like you who comment trying to sound smart look like fools. obviously he k iws what he's doing. I mean u can't even pay attention to what he said .geezzz

It's amazing what some simple maintenance can do on these vehicles!
Nice, thanks for the reminder. I need to do my cars oil soon too!
You should!
Your truck oil capacity is 6 quarts? Very nice video!
Thanks, yep 5.5 quarts for the 5.3L engine! Thirsty engine!

I have the same truck mine also needs a oil change
Get er done!
There rear Main seal looks to be bad?!
Yep, it's leaking. Every oil change I only loose about .5 a quart so I will take that over having to take everything apart for the time being 😬
Im pretty sure it takes 6 qts
Yes, can you count? A 5 quart oil jug and 1 quart of Lucas stabilizer. 1+5=?
It does, all my oil doesn’t drain so 5.5 quarts what I need to add for my oil level to be just right.
