Hey brother thanks for the video I got a 23 at4x last September been watching your videos since then. I'm here in the valley also. keep up the great content!
@@z77jabbjaw you got the high class version of these trucks for sure. I finally got around to getting the hood struts and getting ready to record that video right now. Got the red line kit on prime day for like $75 I think it was. Anyways, I definitely appreciate the support 🍻
Excellent video on how to change the oil on the Chevy Colorado! Have you ever drilled a hole in the bottom of a filter so it would drain and not make a mess? The mechanic at my job does that when he changes oil on the vehicles there. Have you ever used the air down mode? I looked it up to see what it does and it looks pretty interesting.
@@ZJIGGA one of my first jobs was changing oil at the local tire lube express so, a little oil splash not a big deal. As far as the air down mode. I have not tried it yet but does seem pretty convenient when needed.
That display is pretty cool. Shows your brake pad percentage and oil temps. I've been using Amsoil Signature Series 5w 30 on my 2018 6.2 Sierra. I prefill my filters and from watching FordBossMe I learned about flood mode. My 2018 and my 2006 Yukon have this. Floor the gas pedal and then start. Engine will crank, but not start. It will fill the oil filter if you did not prefill after oil change. I also do flood mode if truck has sat for a few weeks before initial start up.
I've got a 23 Z71 with 15,000 miles on it that I've noticed oil consumption on. At 1,000 miles on my current interval it showed no sign of loss. At 1,500 miles on the interval it dropped 1/3 of the way on the stick. I'm close to 3000 now and it's a little over half way down on the stick. Wish I knew the issue, but it currently doesn't meet any oil consumption limits for GM for them to address anything. Gonna try a different brand of oil next interval and see if anything changes (currently on Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance).
Thank you for sharing the oil change video for the Chevrolet Corado. I am considering buying the basic LT trim and I hope the oil pan is likenthe one you have in your truck. How has been your experience with the Colorado?
My dad used to do it to help thin the oil before he changed it so it would all run out, and quickly but with today's oil being 0w or 5w, it usually drains like water anyway.
@@theoriginalfuzzlemutt7526 you are probably right about these new oils draining easily. Unfortunately I'm an old dog so, it's hard for me to change old habits... 😂
@@T_B_C_L Yeah, I got under there the other day.I couldn't find one. I've never seen a vehicle with none yet. I don't know if the laugh or scratch my head
Won’t amsoil woid warranty because its not (dexos gen 3)? I have hered from a friend at a shop that they voided warranty twice because the customer used amsoil
@@thelifeoffuller I guess it's possible but I've never been asked what oil I use when it came to warranty work. I've used Amsoil for years and have seen engines that have used it and there really is no comparison to how clean they keep the internals. Signature series meets all requirements of dexos 3 it just doesn't have the designation. I say do what makes you feel comfortable in the end.
@@T_B_C_L I completely believe in amsoil! Sucks that they won’t put the new certificate on it, I guess it would cost them more money to pay GM to put it on their label.
@@seanb2604 Did you have the plastic pan or the metal pan? Honestly this is why I do most of my maintenance myself. Dealership especially just don't have the craftsmanship of the past.
@@T_B_C_L yea plastic, it's a company lease so I don't work on it.....though I told them it'd be better if I did. My courtesy first oil change resulted in 5 quarts on my freshly coated blacktop driveway
@@T_B_C_Lit is and at least in my area they are so busy. They do full synthetic oil changes for like $67 where jiffy live across the street starts at $99.
@slscamg damn, that's pretty cheap. It costs me somewhere around $70 to do the Amsoil oil change, so to me, it's worth it. I do know not everyone has the desire to get underneath a dirty truck, so for some, that's a great option!
You know what, you are right. I just looked it up, and although Amsoil states it exceeds all specifications of dexos1 gen 3 it's not certified. I'm going to look into this some more because the owners manual states it must meet the dexos1 gen 3 specification not that it must be certified. At worst I'll just gets some oil that is and swap it out.
@@T_B_C_L Yes, not Dexos (per the bottle, at least) .....See what Amsoil says. Dexos has to be an ingredient similar to Dexron, which is the additive GM puts in their transmission fluid
@dennyarnold4338 from my investigation, in order to have the dexos label of approval, the company has to pay for it. According to all my research, Amsoil meets or exceeds all the dexos1 gen 3 expectations, they just don't pay for the certification. Knowing this I guess you just have to make the decision to run it or not. I see many oil brands with the dexos1 gen 3 certification, including brands like Kirkland, arco, O'REILLY. It's really hard for me to believe any of those are better than Amsoil.
@@T_B_C_L I just got a 2024 ZR2 and planned on using Amsoil. After all that research are you gonna stick with it? Amsoil is all I’ve ever used, I would hate to use something else because it isn’t Dexos certified.
@leygoyanksletsgo I am literally in the same boat as you. Me personally I'm going to continue to use it but I could understand why others could be hesitant. I also have a really good relationship with my dealer so that does help my decision. I'm not giving advise this is just my decision.

so glad its a metal pan and not plastic...gonna be getting the 2024 Chevy Z71 this fall.
I was pretty relieved when I looked under there as well. GM should replace all those plastic pans they sold.

I like that green oil catch pan!!
Yea, I've had that for quite a while. I think i got from Amazon, but I can't remember for sure. It does work very well, though.

@@AdmiralBraddus that definitely seems excessive to me. Currently I haven't lost any oil at 2200 miles.
@T_B_C_L my dealer said "the national standard is 1 quart every 1000 miles" which is crazy to me.
@AdmiralBraddus wtf.... I seriously doubt that's the average. Maybe 1 quart every 10k miles.
Excellent video! Thanks for posting. Question: On the oil drain plug, does it use a metal crush-type washer or a rubber gasket?
@@jollyroger5464 mine had a rubber gasket.
Thank you for sharing the oil change video for the Chevrolet Corado. I am considering buying the basic LT trim and I hope the oil pan is likenthe one you have in your truck. How has been your experience with the Colorado?
@@dancar02 I absolutely love the truck. I don't drive it everyday but when I do, it is a joy to drive.
No need to replace the drain plug, I assume?
No definitely not. At least on a pan like mine.
Can't believe you started that truck to recirculate all that dirty oil again before you drained it
@@theoriginalfuzzlemutt7526 I always warm my oil before changing. I guess everyone does their own thing 🤷

I have the metal pan with a t40
Doing my research, seems the metal pan is much better.
Where are the grease fittings on the chassis?And are they on the Drive Shaft Also?
@@StephenMartinez-ve1ey honestly, I haven't seen a grease fittings, sorry.
@@T_B_C_L Yeah, I got under there the other day.I couldn't find one. I've never seen a vehicle with none yet. I don't know if the laugh or scratch my head
@@StephenMartinez-ve1ey it's actually pretty common on late model vehicles to have sealed components. Whether it's better or not remains to seen.

What store do you buy filters/oil from ?
@@RCian2000 from Amazon. A link to the filter I used is in the description.
@@T_B_C_Lisn't it cheaper to buy from Amsoil site directly?
How many miles will you use your car with this oil?
I change every 5k miles
@T_B_C_L did you use 6 quarts because v6 or do all take 6
@ghostblue2532 it's the 4 cylinder max output and I used 6 qts
Buy hood struts
