Hey guys, temps were still just far too hot in the greenhouse even with the increased ventilation and shade cloth. We decided to remove the plastic from one end of the greenhouse and install screen. Turned out great! Total cost was around $120.

2015 Chevrolet Spark Oil Change NO JACK OR RAMPS
Переглядів 64 тис.7 років тому
I demonstrate how to easily change oil in a 2015 Chevy Spark without the use of a jack. I assume you know the basics of an oil change, i.e. that the filter and the oil must be changed and that a filter screws off and on, etc. FYI, you may not need the filter socket if you have extremely small hands.

Thanks for the video. You showed me exactly what I needed to know on where the spring plate sits after raising it. The previous owner of my Baja decided to over torque the torsion bar and notch the spring plate. The rear doesn’t even move when jumping on the rear of the car. I’m sure the shocks are destroyed as wells.
Fomeeeeee tu mierda de vídeo ni siquiera lo terminaste
What is the velocity of oil
Does this also work for 2021 model?
The clearance on a 2021 is 6.5 inches. I use ramps. Makes quick work of an oil change.
It's a btch getting to that oil filter without the proper 3" socket.
Thanks for the update. Everything looks like it’s growing really well. Did you do a video on you external siphons ?
Hi Mark! We didn't do a separate video on the external siphons, but can if you like. It's been a really good way to go not having it inside the DWC.
this video helped me out, thank you!
Amazing video!! I’ve watched about 10 of these now and yours was leaps and bounds better
Interesting mod did it work?
Hi! Thanks for the video! Quick question, where did you put the jack to lift the whole rear body of the beetle?
Hi, I made a wooden block with a recess cut in it so that it fits perfectly over the oil sump cover on the bottom of the engine. Slap something like that in place so you can apply even pressure to the bottom surface of the engine case, put the jack under the block and you're good to go.
Amazing,spectacular,👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
That's a nice 2021 there, coming from the year 2021

Very nice system! This is what I wanna build how did you build the greenhouse diy or did you purchase it ?
Hi thanks for the comment. We built the greenhouse ourselves using a hoop bender from Bootstrap Farmer. They've got some videos that are helpful for anyone wanting to do the same. UA-cam is also a good source of videos for this process. Thanks for watching!
We did that a long time ago. I wrecked my 57 Beetle and replaced the whole body with a slightly newer one that we bought from a dune buggy place for $35.00.
Wow it such a great setup i really inspired to your video
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm working on a similar project in West Africa- Will it be ok to reach out to you if I need guidance on some stuff?
Hello, thanks for the comment. I'd be happy to give you some advice on what I've learned. Most of it will be documented in these videos!
5 ppl lol
Watched several videos on the same topic and this is the best how to i have seen. Perfect explanation. Thanks for the help!!
Thanks. I just want to raise my rear maybe two inches. After watching this video, I checked mine, and it looks like I have plenty room to go one spline, leaving the stop alone. Have a good one!
What would happen if you cut off the stop? As in, you want to raise the rear a lot. Could you reposition the stop? Is the stop really necessary?
The answer to this question depends on how you limit the travel of the suspension if the stop is no longer there. I cut the stops off on all my rail buggies but I also run straps to limit the travel of the suspension. If you don't limit the suspension there are a few bad things that will happen. First, it will be VERY soft since the torsion rods are allowed to completely unload when you go over the backside of humps and bumps. Second, I imagine this would not be good for the torsion rods since the twist they experience on a regular basis will be greatly increased. I never broke one but I've been told it'll happen pretty quick if they are not pre-loaded. So in summary, I recommend you use some sort of limit. Straps are nice.
Good job dude... I’ve been there bunches... but dropping them. I’m intrigued about the lift... currently building a Baja... where can I see what this looks like on a vehicle? Keep it up Bro!!!
what kind of dremel cutting tool did you use?
I used the fiber-reinforced dremel discs.
Great
Do you have more videos of filling all the spot welds back up on the apron and body
Now I feel stupid for paying my dealership $50 for an oil change. Thanks for sharing your knowledge good sir!
don't we all
170 dollars at the 5 minute lub place
Wow I’m 18 and You just taught me how to change mine I drive this same car !! 🤣
you prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last couple of weeks =)
@Jerome Maxim Yea, have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@Jerome Maxim Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D
Did mine a little different. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/HSQ-2jkoZsc/v-deo.html
Thanks man!! I know this is going to save me a ton of money w a sm investment. Most vids tbh try to complicate. You the man, man.
What brand tools are you using for this job?
What carbs are you running on this?
Those were dual dellorto 40's
@@marbleknight Thanks appreciated.
Is the engine width wider due to the size ?
My back aches just watching this.
So why do we have to take the filter and the oil plug out?
Y que beneficio tiene con ese trabajo em un stok
Hey thanks for the video, how many quarts did it take ? Thanks
4.1 quarts
A good bit of help to get the spring plate into the housing, is to buy 4 Bolts about 1 inch longer than what's there. (Take 1 to H.Depot to be sure of threads & size, etc.). Then you can snug them along and they will be more in line as you tighten them. When they get about in place, just replace them 1 at a time then use them on the other side. Another big help, so you don't have to beat the unit into pace or snug into place and bend the plate cover, is to use about two 6" C -Clamps to crunch them into place.
Excellent advice, very good tips.
Hey Sparky! I did my first oil change in 1974, and being in the trucking industry for 30 years have quite a bit more understanding of compliance, see you have to know what your doing to get a million miles out of an engine, including using compliant lubricants, and sending them off to the labs occasionally, aside from some fuck knuckle, that never read his owners manual!
A trucker troll! No wonder you can't get your fat ass under the car. Hey all you had to say was you've been sucking down fast food and chain-smoking cigarettes for 30 years. I think you need a little more than 2 minutes for those ramps!? Come back?
Some of us are not 140 lb pencil necks, so yes I use ramps, which adds 1 minute to the job.
Actually I'm 240lb. Got no problem doing it. And if you can pull the ramps out of the building, secure them safely and drive the car up on them within 1 minute how about posting that video up, eh?
You win Sparky, OK, err 2 minutes! if you're going to make a video, offering advice, it might help if you actually know what you're doing! In another post you say, " I did not run synthetic in mine; whether or not you should is a mix of personal preference and manufacturer's recommendation. For me it was a little too expensive to justify using in this application"...Really? You're not using Chevrolet compliant oil, {dexos}, and admitting so on you tube? Good luck if you have a failure under warranty! Oh and that money savings by not using synthetic required oil? Well since in average use the spark should not need an oil change for about 10k miles and up to a year in service, that $1 a month saving on a 5 Qt container, really isn't too wise!
@@thomasstratford6227 Aw, couldn't do it in a minute? Sounds like your mouth overloaded your butt. Seems to be a common theme among you young trolls. Yes, we must be very wary of Chevrolet's UA-cam investigation department. Just think of all those offices full of expertly-trained warranty agents perusing UA-cam night and day just waiting for someone to slip up and post some evidence of warranty violation so they can deny your future claim. "I got another one, sir! This user by the name of Marbleknight has posted evidence that he didn't use the right oil! We'll be ready for that claim!" LMAO. I'll be sure and tell them my UA-cam username when I take my car in for a warranty claim. If you want to discuss the economics of oil types and warranties, then post a video! People could learn so much from that young advice you have whereas it is just wasted on your trollings here. Your move, slick. Give it your best shot!
@Joe Pangit That is a very good price indeed. Well worth it.
Oh ma guud! You so cool!
so you only move it one notch ? so when you hear of people moving 3 notches to match a 2 1/2 " raised spindle in front they are going to ent up with a broken tortion bar ? how much does the one notch raise the car ? Thanx !! Great Video !!
How much you gain from this procedure is always a question of where the suspension was before you started. If you go out and examine your spring plates and find that they are contacting the bottom stops with the car just sitting there, not jacked up, then you won't 'lift' the suspension by doing what I show in the video. It'll just make it stiffer. On the other hand, if the plates are already above the stops with just the weight of the car on them, you'll gain a significant amount while firming up the rear suspension. How much lift you gain per spline of preload is really determined by the condition of your torsion bars. If they are tired and worn out it won't be a lot, probably less than an inch net gain. For new bars I'd say closer to two inches net gain. Hope this helps.
@@marbleknight Yes, Thanx so much, I dont want the rear end to stiff but dont want it sagging, just want to lift it a little to give a bit more clearance and make it easier to get in and out of for an old guy.. lol... great video !!
Great video!! Maybe I missed it but how much lift does this normally give you?
Thanks for the comment. You know I just realized that I may have given a false impression here with the word 'raising'. The truth is, you could do this whole procedure and it really wouldn't raise the body off the ground any further than when you started UNLESS your suspension was a bit saggy to begin with. This is because the spring plates can only go so far down before they hit their bottom stops. So if you look at your car just sitting there in the driveway and your spring plate is not touching the stop (it's a bit above) then doing what I show you in this video will lift the rear end. If it is already touching the stop and you do this procedure, it'll just make the rear suspension stiffer. FYI, the 'stop' I'm talking about is to the left of the screwdriver at 10:00 in the video.
Great video, I'm new to vw's building a street baja. Does this take place on both sides or just the passenger side?
Definitely both sides and it's crucial to do it exactly the same so the torsion bar isn't unevenly loaded. You'll enjoy a street baja, they're a lot of fun.
@@marbleknight thanks I thought so but was just checking. I ordered some raised spindles so your video hopefully saved me hours of the unknown struggle. Thanks again.
So I finally did it. Your video was super helpful. I did however struggle getting the spring plate covers back on. So I went and got some longer bolts. That cured that issue.
what is the brand of the oil you use ?
Elie, I buy whatever is on sale. I really have no brand loyalty.
What size oil filter socket is that? I need to buy one off of Amazon.
you could hammer up a screwdriver into the filter to loosen it up, kinda messy but it works.
can this be done to stock 1600 heads?
Yes.
Wow you've lifted it by hand with the glass / everything still on it! Amazing video. Good to know it is possible without gutting the whole thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Manuel. This should have gone a lot smoother but we got stuck on one of the shock towers up front and I didn't see it. When we put it back on it took less than 10 seconds.
marbleknight I would be worried it tipped over and rolled, because of the steps between the 2 surfaces! Edge of my seat :) Could you imagine. Glad it worked
Excellent "How To " video.
PRAISE JESUS NAME ABOVE ALL
What’s the part number for the oil filter? Does the oil have to be synthetic. I heard the boys at valvoline oil change shop charge $60 for their oil filter.
Fram part number is PH11462, other filter manufacturers have different designations. Fram recommends using this filter with conventional oil which brings us to your next question about synthetic. I did not run synthetic in mine; whether or not you should is a mix of personal preference and manufacturer's recommendation. For me it was a little too expensive to justify using in this application.
The filter is probably like 6 bucks and the rest is goes to pay for their vacation.
If you do need a few inches clearance, dive the car up on a pair of 2x4s a couple feet long, layed FLAT on the ground. Gives enough room to get your upper body beneath the car.
Do u promise I won't die
Thank you for posting this, very helpful. There is a dude here on UA-cam that cut part of the spring arm with a grinder to do this - unbelievable. Did you noticed any change in the wheel's camber by the way?
Hi Pacifico, thanks for the comment. The change to camber is pretty minimal, not really even noticeable with an IRS setup. If you got a swing axle it's a whole different story :-)
Thank you for your reply, the whole video is very helpful and to the point. I have a 1/2 - 1 inch camber difference in my rear wheels, IRS setup, and I am not sure if to even mess with the spring arm to try to fix it, some people just drive them like that but there will be different tire wear.
