    Awesome video! Thanks! I just picked up a 2007 Express Cargo 4.8L V8. After watching your video I feel like I could totally change the oil myself now. Gotta love breaker bars. Lots of things in life are all about having leverage. Subscribed and looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos!

    to not force it".

    I always pre fill the filter, especially when it's vertical like this one.

    Very Helpful! I just got one of these vans and was pretty clueless about it.

    nice oil change ^_^ I'd prolly only hand tighten the new oil filter. I'm so psyched to buy a standard set of sockets for my new rig!

      I do it just for good measure , some guys torque them down so hard you can’t get it to come off lol

    Hey man, I come from Brazil living here in Florida. I really appreciate your video. Thank you very much. I have a Chevy cargo van 2500 and I’m trying to Lear how to replace break pads, installation of inverter, alarms and another’s things. If you know how to replace break pads it’s a really good ideia make a video about it.

    No need to ever use a filter wrench to tighten a filter.

    • @pastelskies8466

      Over tightening an oil plug can strip it. Using a jack handle on a ratchet for leverage can ruin the ratchet gear.

    Good video sir, but i dont understand how come your new oil is fully black already? On the next oil change you should try some engine flush it might disolve all the sludge still in there

  • @sandyharrisville8860
    @sandyharrisville8860 ปีที่แล้ว

    Never use any tools to tighten up the oil filter. Hand tighten only it will tighten up more on its own.

    You are using wrong oil !! Dexos 1 is recomended for your 2012 chevy. Look in your owner's manual

    Add oil to filter before install get oil to engine fast.

    • @AccountInactive
      @AccountInactive 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Never do that. You risk introducing contaminants that will bypass the filter because you poured directly into the clean side of the filter.
