I love the Havoline commercial in the middle of the video, fun way to do a product placement. Cracked me up, reminded me of the Wayne's World product placement for some reason LOL
Solid video, but don't run your oil life down to zero! I change mine every 5k miles because it's not that much of a hassle and relatively inexpensive. It may also help the fuel mileage and make the engine last longer. Also, you should look into getting a Gold Plug magnetic drain plug. Every time I change my oil, the little magnet on the end of the plug has collected a small bit of fine metallic swarf that would otherwise be circulating in the engine. Just my thoughts...take it or leave it, but keep up the videos!
Haven't seen oil in a container like that before. Ask the Havoline folks if it is available in Canada, please. 'Grats on a sponsor!! Love the Bison content.
To save some cash, you can go with Havoline PRO-DS. It's slightly cheaper and just as good (just doesn't have the bio products in it). Also Walmart often sells these 6 qt containers for cheap. Another bit of advice... buy OEM oil filters in bulk. Then you're good for years and they're often cheaper than buying individually.
@@JasonExplainsThings I talked to my mom's bf who worked at the waste recycling center. Normally you can mix mineral oil (and almost all oils) but since in my case it's from bicycle hydraulic brakes it may be disposed of separately.
From the instructions I read the answer is yes, replace it each time because it can get crushed or deformed… and then leak. Dealers can have it or we got it at a local auto parts store.
I did not know about changing the oil drain gasket and I've done 7 oil changes on my 2020 Z71 already. It's never leaked, but I guess it's always a good time to learn something new! However, the Amazon link says that part does not fit my 3.6, and the suggested parts are metal crush washers.
Just did my oil change, thanks for the video! Interestingly my filter cap said 25 Nm but I'd already done 30 Nm (aka 22 ft lbs). I don't think 5 Nm is gonna break the bank though. 22 ft lbs might be from the older gen Colorados.
Chris and I shared an apartment in college and we did oil changes in a parking lot. Did get some funny looks from neighbors though. One suggestion… you could use an oil extractor and that way you wouldn’t have to drain from the bottom.
You should add that there is a updated orifice tube for the oil filter, see bulletin dated 2/20,Bulletin # 19-NA-066. Old part #55577448, new #12696079, $15+/-. Old tube falls out and allows filter to collapse.
@Steven Claggett Would this fix be in place on MY2020+ trucks? static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10173391-9999.pdf says up to 2019 for the bulletin so I'd assume so.
The great thing about the hobby is that we have different opinions. It'd be boring if we all liked the same things. I find the Bison to be best looking mid-size available. To each their own. 🙅♀

Very interested in checking out that box now. Where can I find out who sells it?
Link below, but looks like Walmart is the main carrier. 👍
Sams Club also has it.
Congrats on the sponsor!! I cracked up at Chris when you were talking about Havoline 😂
You rock Chloe! It's awesome to see your channel growing so fast. 🎉
You’re big time now fellas!
Not even close! But it's awesome to have some support these days.
Congrats on the sponsor!! Well deserved and a perfect video to showcase 👍

I totally agree on the 5k interval. 👍
@@JasonExplainsThings Good to hear! Love your videos. You're humble and make interesting and valuable content. Keep doing what you're doing!
fun video.
Hey Jason how can I get my hands on one of those Techron flags?
I have a regular Chevy Colorado z71
Can I still use this one ?

Very informative! But I do it the same way in Illinois..
How about some coupons, I could use some help, don't want it to cost as much as the dealership to do the oil change job.

Awesome stuff. Fun change
What do you use to store your old oil? I also have mineral oil from my bike (brake system), do you know i they can be mixed and disposed of together?
I keep it in a 5 gallon jug and then recycle it when it fills up. Not sure about mineral oil. I mix motor and gear oil of course, but that's about it.

Lmao nice!
12:42am I would like to use this oil change kit as long as gm will accept it for the warranty on my 2022 Colorado 6 cylinder 4×4
Do you need a new rubber gasket each time? I assume the dealer carries this? I’d like to get one when I’m picking up my filter, if possible.
From the instructions I read the answer is yes, replace it each time because it can get crushed or deformed… and then leak.
Dealers can have it or we got it at a local auto parts store.
@@JasonExplainsThings thx! I’ve done two oil changes and haven’t replaced it, but I’ll do so the next time. Love your channel!!
All the oil filters come with the o ring…it’s probably not needed, but it comes with the filter so you might as well change it

I have a 2020 Bison and this thing has the easiest oil changes I've ever done. I can usually bang it out in 15-20 minutes.
If I had a house I would change my own oil. I can’t do it living in an apartment complex. They frown on that kind of thing in case of spillage.

On my 2015 Colorado, is the oil filter right next to the engine oil spout? I can find the damm thing. #dontmakethemlijetheyusedto
Should be.
Bit of a struggle to get the oil filter in,nice cuts and bruises on my arm!!
It's in a pretty crazy tight spot.

@@BowTied69 2020 should have the updated parts, it was changed late in the 2018 run.

Ohhhkayyy...

idk why but i find the colorado to be one ugly truck but hey thats just me lol
