Thank you so much for this thorough video! My husband has been working 12hr days during these busy summer months and hasn’t had anytime for anything. His oil is past due to change. Now I can help him out and surprise him! Thanks!
Good to hear.Glad it helps.Thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.
That is a beautiful thing to do for him. U R Bad ass fo sho.
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Glad the video helped.Thanks for watching and leaving a comment we really appreciate it.
Does that 2012 not have the computer that you have to reset to show the correct percentage of remaining oil life????
Sorry yes it does and I forgot to put it in the video.Probably because I actually don't change the oil based on mileage because it is just a spare truck for hauling stuff so we put very little mileage on it so I change the oil every 6 months.
your video helped me appreciate the effort
Thanks.Glad it helped and thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.
Okay! Just to let you know I am a woman but I have been learning to change oil on all sorts of cars trucks and you had stated that maybe some people may not care to watch these videos that people like you take the time to make for us out here in search of your ability and knowledge to learn from. So I do Thank you for taking the time to make these video tutorials. I appreciate you and your video Thank you very much and your noise filter for camera must have worked because I can hear a couple of areas where I acknowledge it is probably the wind that is in your part of the world. And here in Montana The wind chimes are singing to me today. But sun is shining and Im gonna follow your step by step instructions to get this oil changed. Oh tip if you use the medical gloves your hands wont get as dirty i have a neighbor that has very soft nice looking hands because he uses them faithfully. Women appreciate that. At least I do. Thanks for the video! Have a Great day! Oh and wanted to also ask? You stated that you should have put the truck on ramps for this so Question: If vehicle is on ramps does it alter the drainage volume in anyway opposed to being changed lying flat or on ramps ?
Thanks alot for your nice comments.And I sure hope my videos help some people learn to do basic maintenance.There is always people who have never done something and want to learn and youtube is a great place to find information.As far as putting a car or truck on ramps it usually doesn't cause any problems but it really depends on the vehicle.Most drain plugs are towards the back of the oil pan.Now if you encounter a vehicle with the drain plug on the front then that could leave alot of old oil in the pan.I have never seen that on any American car but that's not to say there aren't any.Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment.We really do appreciate it.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 Thanks again for answering my question because I change oil in my subaru and my saab and now the silverado and always wondered so thanks for the answer... I love mechanics but figuring something out I have to ask alot of people to het the that helps me. And just last week I couldn't find an answer about my subaru stereo ..... So somebody suggested a chilton found it and now waiting for delivery so hopefully I will get ot running again. Thanks for your help. I appreciate you. Mary

Good video, I like to know what size is that cap oil wrench?
Honestly I don't know the size.I picked it up at Walmart and I just picked up the proper oil filter and took it out of the box and then tried the filter wrenches they had till I got the right size.The only markings on the filter wrench is DEM TOOLS 1008WMC.
Thank you so much for helping me out.
Wish I actually had the size for you but there are no markings on it.Thank you for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.
Love the intro!!
👍😂👍
Thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.
Your oil cap showed 5w30??? Maybe if your in a very cold climate 0w30 is ok in winter months. Also 18 ft/lb. Oil drain plug torque value. Also you didn’t replace plug washer on drain plug bolt.
0-30 is better in the winter and has no effect in the summer.The 0 is the winter rating.0 is the thinnest and 5 is thicker and 10 is thicker again when cold.30 is the rating when hot.20 being thinner that 30 and 40 being thicker than 30.And no I didn't replace the washer and never have in the hundreds of oil changes.I do look at it and if it is tore up then I would replace it.
Ive got that same vice to take off filter but it slips on filtet
Yeah I have that problem sometimes too.
I had to tap filter cap onto the filter so it would fit tight came right off
Thanks for your amazing job 👍🏼😊
Wear gloves next time
Haha,I agree you really should always wear gloves when changing oil or any fluids from a vehicle.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 old habits die hard haha. I used to not but clean up is much easier
You nailed it,Old habits but I too am trying to remember to wear gloves when doing work on cars.
