How much does the dealer charge for an oil change? What type of oil are they using? I usually do all my own maintenance but like you I have a dealer nearby that offers lifetime warranty if they service the vehicle so I’m curious.
Wow! Lifetime warranty! That’s a great insensitive to bring your truck in! My wife’s 2021 2.7 custom had the first year oil change covered by the company. When I set up the 1st oil change after the 12 Months they quoted me $182 (including oil, filter , necessary fluids & tire rotation) I asked if I did the oil myself will my factory warranty still be covered, they said “ as long as I keep records and receipts “ and here I am watching this video. Did you have to pay extra for lifetime warranty? Or just need to have them service it?
Whenever you can it's just extra protection to pre-fill the oil filter. When you start the engine with the filter empty the oil pump has to first fill the filter before you build oil pressure.
@@naytheanzarate9008 no longer have the 2020 2.7 custom lease was up. I went back to a V8 There is a big difference. I hit the gas pedal and it almost throws you back but still I'm a firm believer in that two seven turbo. It was so much fun so zippy miss it already. No issues with it either. Always on point
Yeah, that’s the first thing I noticed. The whole oil pan is plastic. At some point a person is going to snap the plug, the plastic will become too brittle, or something hits it just hard enough to crack it.
Hi, I have 2021 chevy silverado 2.7 turbo, I live in canada, and it’s winter now here, Just wondering if you have a block heater on your truck, cause mine doesn’t have plug or I can’t find it. If you have please can you make a video of it thankyou
Great content. I just installed my Headlights LED . Followed your video!! So you have a video to install the interior lights . My 2022 custom are very low. And I notice a lot of ppl have complaints on that. Thanks and I’ll subscribe now
No longer have it but when i did for the year in a half I owned it, it had a check engine light for one of the sensors going bad for emissions but the dealership replaced it at no cost and only took like 10 min for them to do. Thats about the only issue I had (oh and they had to update the software for the transmission)
In my experience from Hyundai, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda and no doubt others, the Dipstick level has been under the mark and even over the mark. When I've done an oil change on a new to me vehicle, with the exact amount of oil, and has been sitting on a level surface for awhile, I've put my own punch mark on the dipstick.
@@awsmbug I hear ya. I have a 71 Riviera with a 455 Buick motor and it reads full with 4 quarts in it. Everyone told me the pan should hold 5. So I put 5 in and made another mark about 5/8th above the original full line. I didn't see any bubbles on the stick after driving (from the crank hitting the oil) so I kept doing it and its been 20 years and 50,000 miles and no problems. Of course those old cars were notorious for poor fit to specifications. I would never imagine a modern car would be that far off. Still I'm curious how much you can over fill them. I think they probably have 1/4 to 1/2 quart leeway. But I like to be on the line.
I know longer own it lol I went back to the sport car life an got another camaro SS but other wise I would have loved to make a review on this truck brother
I would just do it according to the oil service life percentage. I usually do mine at 15% percentage. Any sooner then that I feel like I would be wasting my money lol but overall sooner is not a bad thing
Definitely yes especially since it’s a boosted application! Would recommend a catch can as well. Tons of blow by with turbo engines. I never fully go off the manual or oil life monitor.
@@JF-qc6po 3k miles, not with today's oil. 5k I would think is fine, but i generally base mine on driving. If I've done alot of towing, I'll change it sooner, or if I've gone on a long haul towing trip, that's over 1000miles I'll do it when i get home
from my understanding brother it's designed specifically for these newer vehicles to help gas mileage and last longer then other oils when it comes to heat coming from the combustion chamber (also helps keep the oil from oxidizing)
@@SUPSGARAGE Thanks for the response brother. I drive a 2003 F150…. It has the 4.2 V6…. Over 200,000 miles. I don’t think my engine is that hi tech to require that type of oil; no overhead camshaft and no VVT….my engine is an old school design with the central camshaft and rocker arms. I think I can just use either a high mileage conventional, blend or full synthetic….Thoughts?
@Earl Edwards they work good for the older engines as well brother but me personally I just use moble 1 full synthetic high mileage on my older cars and will be just fine
When I own this engine (23 Canyon) I’ll be changing every 3-4K or once a year, whichever comes first. I’m retired, don’t drive a ton, and enjoy doing oil/filter/etc myself
@@timferguson593 pistons, cam shaft, valves, block, tranny, axle, turbo, wheels, brakes, hoses, radiator, radio, doors, chairs, windows, bed, suspension and hood are all the same materials, the one steel bolt I saw was the one holding the whole truck together 😜

Really impressed how easy it is to change the oil on this Silverado.
It looks like an improvement for sure.
You’ve probably never done a chance on this truck, it’s the worst!
@@vbuen323yea, just did it for the first time today in my new truck and made a ROYAL mess. When I pulled the plug, the oil came out WAY too fast.
Great Video, I wish more people did videos like this. Short and to the point. No rambeling on about nonsense. Great job!
Great video, straight to the point without any long intros, annoying music etc!👍👍
Chris Fix style quality video. Concise and informative.
thanks for that comment brother 😊!
Love how chevy actually did this simple design! I hated the filter access on my 17 colorado.
Thank you for this simple, yet detailed video. Really helped me change my oil for the first time! 🙂
Glad to help brother!
I have the same plug on my vw gti. So easy to change the oil. Never leaked or any other problems.
Thank you for keeping this simple and concise.
Not buying a cheap plastic truck.
I see some oil change places breaking those drain plugs I always fill my oil filter too
yea your right, I can see that happening too lol
When you hear it snap off you have a problem.
Awesome video! I didn't know it was that easy!!
Also it's a good idea to pre-fill the oil filter
Thank you for getting right into it and not dragging it out with a long intro 👏
Just got me a new 2022 Silverado Custom using the mother in-laws GM discount and got it for $34K and love this truck!
Great video! Found you via my buddy Mark at Pilgrim’s Garage, and I'm glad I did. Cheers from Alberta!
Thanks brother!
Very easy change. I normally do my own. But my 2021 2.7 Silverado has a Lifetime Warranty as long as my maintenance is done at my dealer.
You're a fool

Um….No
Yeah for like 2 seconds.
Great video, I have a 2020 2.7L love it! Thanks for the info.
Any issues with this engine by a chance ,
There was only one, the purge valve failed (sits on top of the engine) but I believe it was a recall issue and was covered under warranty

Those AC Delco filters are the exact same filters as the Wal Mart Super Tec oil filters. They are both made by Champ Labs. Another way to save money!
Need to find an aftermarket solution to the drain plug. The second you twist that cap a half revolution it comes pouring out like a fire house!
Yea that is true lol
FACT! I made a MESS in my driveway today.
TY for sharing, you hit all the points needed ;)
Don't take it to a Jiffy Lube or similar type place. That oil drain plug will get broken (eventually).
Very well explained.👌🏼 Thank you sir.
put the miles and date on your filters fellers ya wanna know when you serviced it last or the last feller silver sharpie
When should you change your oil ever what? Great video
thanks brother and you can wait till the maintenance light comes on or do every 5k to 8k miles
What about grease points, is there no grease points on the truck?
Save the receipts and notate the mileage. If there’s ever a warranty issue you will have a record of doing the maintenance
Do you not need sae 5w-30? Mine says that’s what oil mine takes
great video, good design but I cant believe GM uses a plastic oil pan screw ,that wont last long
GM don't give a fuck
Yeah, that’s the first thing I noticed. The whole oil pan is plastic. At some point a person is going to snap the plug, the plastic will become too brittle, or something hits it just hard enough to crack it.
@@MrSamPhoenixi think for 2024 they stopped the plastic oil pan nonsense.
@@davidr7872 thank goodness
@@MrSamPhoenix I checked on a forum for Colorado/ Canyon owners and GM is using up the plastic pans and going to aluminum.
Just to be clear..the oil GUSHES out

not sure what a block heater is brother but I no longer have this truck 😔
I wouldn’t put the bolt back on until the filter is removed otherwise old oil will mix in with the new oil
Great content. I just installed my Headlights LED . Followed your video!!

@@SUPSGARAGE excellent! Thanks
Would it be the same process for the 2022 1500 2.7L turbo LTD custom?
I would assume so brother
Yes. I have that same truck your speaking of. Added some pennzoil ultra platinum love to it.
Man awesome video just bought the same truck
How do you like the truck has hit had any issues, I have been thinking of getting one

Simple and clear.🙌🏽🙌🏽
Good job 👍
Any videos for the same truck on a radiator flush
Not yet brother but if I ever do one I'll be sure to post it!
Not happy with a plastic oil pan

can you use decos 3?
no sure on that brother I didn't even know there was a 3 🤔
God bless you brother.
thats alot of oil for a tiny engine. whats all of the plastic underthe hood? I know one is the air filter
yea it is and its really just the engine cover and the rest is connected to the air box.
2.7 is not tiny
@@user-tb7rn1il3q 2.7 4, vs. 2.7 6…..explain the difference other than the fact one engine has a couple of more cylinders than the other.
I just came to see if they really do have a plastic oil pan and plug
You should do an update on your truck.

Plastic drain plug???
Awesome man tyty!!
is there a dip stick for the transmission on that truck?
I don't believe so brother, looks like most newly made cars no longer have them 😮💨😔
Hey do you know where the oil sensor is ?
I do not brother....
When did they release the filters to the part stores?
Not to sure but I do remember finding a filter for this truck was really hard at the time. They were on backorder.
2.7 uses the same filter as the 3.0 Duramax

How much oil do you add if oil is at add mark?
it should be a qt brother but put half a qt first and see just to be safe
Thanks a lot
Thank you
I was told by a tech at take 5 that the drain plug has to be replaced every oil change because they aren’t made to last long? Is this true?
Honestly I never heard of that but I don't believe so because the oil pan itself is made from the same kind of material.
would you recommend an oil change every 5000 miles?
I would just do it according to the oil service life percentage. I usually do mine at 15% percentage. Any sooner then that I feel like I would be wasting my money lol but overall sooner is not a bad thing
Definitely yes especially since it’s a boosted application! Would recommend a catch can as well. Tons of blow by with turbo engines. I never fully go off the manual or oil life monitor.
That oil was pretty dark. How many miles did you have on that oil?
I believe it was 7k miles on that oil
Oil changes in these turbo motors should really be done every 3k. Gas motors trying to be a diesel are really hard on the oil.
@@JF-qc6po 3k miles, not with today's oil. 5k I would think is fine, but i generally base mine on driving. If I've done alot of towing, I'll change it sooner, or if I've gone on a long haul towing trip, that's over 1000miles I'll do it when i get home
@@JF-qc6po 3k was more for carbureted cars where they always run rich and wash down the cylinder walls and dilute the oil.
should of bought the filter clamp before changing my oil. otherwise i woulda finished quicker thanks
5K or 7.K miles?
Are you asking if its 5k or 7k miles till the next oil change?
Yes
5k
done good Sup ,Thanks

Change at 5000 miles

Pre fill the filter.
NOPE
After 100k oil changes aren't necessary because the 2.7s will consume all the oil just top it off.
Muy bien ...
Another friggin plastic oil pan. Cost cutting? Makes you wonder where else they are cutting cost/quality that you can't see.
Exactly and they charge top dollar for those trucks.
It seems to be built well. Plastic lasts longer than metal.
Wow its plastic and pan is too wow add to modify list to metal
pro tip fill the filter
Omg it is plastic oil bolt - next will be plastic 1.5 engine
Plastic drain plug? Yeah that’s not going to survive for very long, especially how oil change shops like to over torque the hell out of it.
Is that filter compatible with full synthetic oil? Some filters specify what oil they work best with
Not to sure, but it never gave me problems
@SUPSGARAGE any good filter will work, I use full synthetic and wix filters, sometimes Fram
Good job but get a better funnel.
your not wrong on that lol
Plastic this is what all of your money buys this days why is the oil plug made out of plastic? Newer is better right 😅
Dam plastic oil pan and drain plug? Cheap truck expensive price. Overpriced
Dodge equals trash
Doesn’t make we want to buy one. Where else have they cut corners.
