      My bf just topped off all my fluids in my 2009 cobalt. The next day I told him is was running funny and the motor didn’t sound right. He asked if the engine light was on and it wasn’t. So nothing further happened. The following day I started my car and the engine light comes on, in addition to that it was running even worse than the previous day.
      When I first got the car he checked the oil and said it was empty so he filled it up, my car ran worse, he checked the oil again and realized there was twice as much as what should have been there. He didn’t drain it till I pitched a fit. He told me it would burn its self off and I called bs.
      So I called him out on it again this time, he pulled the stick out to show me and the oil came up to the point where the cone meets the stick. It doesn’t go up the stick like before but I feel like it is still too much. I’m obviously no mechanic and don’t know much about cars, but he has done questionable things to my vehicles in the past. I drove a truck for 8 yrs and every other month he would have to replace a bearing or break and only 1 at a time even though you could clearly hear others going out, but he would tell me I’m fine to drive it, just don’t go out of town and keep your driving to a minimum.
      Am I being paranoid? Does this seem legit? I know it’s an old car and I bought it as a rebuilt title, I just wish I knew more about cars and could do the work myself

    You forgot how to reset the annoying oil light on the dash;
    To reset the oil light after changing oil you want to get in the car and turn the key to the on position (without turning the car over) and tap the gas pedal 3 - 5 times. Then use the info button on the steering wheel to browse your display to the oil status to insure your oil life now says 100%. And your done!
    You may wanna pin this. Also love your videos

    THE cleanest, easiest to follow, most descriptive and helpful video for this project I have seen. Ive seen at least six others and none of them mentioned removing the passenger side tire. Removing the tire gives you a lot more room to work and easier and safer access to the drain plug. This is a great step to have. Awesome video, sir. Bravo.

      I've owned a 2008 Cobalt since new, NO need to remove a tire to get to the oil drain plug , So unnecessary. Just drive up on two pieces of 2-in x 10-in wood (homemade ramps) if you want to go crazy you can even make the ramp 2 or 3 levels high.

    Oil change videos are becoming very popular because more people are starting to do their oil changes themselves because they are tired of wondering if a shop did the oil change correctly, and put in quality oil & filter (if they changed the filter).
    Those were some easy to follow instructions WITH torque specifications!

    Like your videos in general and this one too. I have worked on cars since I was a teenager and worked in the industry for 10 years plus. Only issue I have with this video is utilizing a impact ratchet for the job. Always used hand tools anytime I performed one of thousands of oil changes. Don't know if it is wrong or not, just never needed to use impacts for an oil change.

    • @cartalkusa
      @cartalkusa Год назад +1

      Just FYI, that is not an impact. Just a cordless ratchet - works just like a regular ratchet. An impact driver or wrench actually uses an internal hammer mechanism, which we would not use in an oil change application.

    wonder if you can help diagnose a couple problems i am having with my 2006 pontiac pursuit, perhaps you may have had the same exp?
    1) when i put the car in drive(also i think it happens in reverse too)and let it roll on its own sometimes the eng seems to be struggling as i see the the rpm needle go up n down and can feel the eng like its struggling also when i am driving and come to a stop as im breaking and come to full stop i see the engine rpm needle rev up and back down?
    2) when i put the car in drive go forward a bit and hit the breaks i hear a clunking noise ,i put it in reverse and apply the breaks and the same thing happens only when i do any of those this noise happens after that the noise is gone ,it sounds like either the break pads or master cylinder or perhaps the transmission i am not sure but i do not see how the break system has to do with the tranny yet it does happen when i shift gears only ,is there some kind of connection? i did change the rotor and pads myself but not sure if this noise was there before that i can remember ,thanks for any help or advise you can give me

    after jacking up my car (2006 pontiac pursuit) with the sizor jack that has a notched bit made to fit under that seem or rail under the rocker i am still not able to lift the car high enough to slide in my 3 tone stands so i have no choice but to do like you done and put then under that seem since the stands also have a notch for fitting if needed ,i guess its ok to do that? problem is now i recently had a body work done on both rockers as one got dented in an accident and the other was starting to rust but the new metal now added thickness to my rail or seem so im worried about it fitting the stand or jack without pinching or denting or damaging the weather striping coating which happened plus im not sure how flush the metal is with that seem ,so if its a bit under then its gonna dent or bend,and on top of that for some reason (probabaly rust) he put screws on one side instead of spot welds to hold that trim against the seem and the back end of those screws might be in the way of the jack,i may need to cut them off,,,too bad i just got this work done ,hope it will be ok but i have no choice but to lift my car from those areas as i got no professional jack lift like some ppl seem to have room for

      @barricadegarage5361  6 лет назад +8

      BubbaZanetti6666 I agree. they are called Cartridge oil filters and the enviromental people say these are safer since the construction of cartridge oil filters doesn’t include any metal, they can be incinerated instead of being tossed in a landfill. so like Catalytic Converters, these might very well be the future my friend

    1) Too much use of power took, not needed for this task.
    2) Coating the O ring (not a gasket) with oil prevents the O ring from grabbing at the mating surfaces and possibly pitching or kinking it which it then won't seal. Otherwise great quick video.

      Yea, no need to remove the oil drain plug neither. You can just siphon it out through the oil fill cap. Save you from having to get all up underneath the car and you don't even need to jack up. Always steps you don't need to do, but you got to ask yourself... is it going to make it faster and easier.
