Thank you. Really good video. This works exactly the same way on a 2002 Isuzu Trooper. Same engine, same skid plates, same position of the oil filter as on the Trooper.
Hi Matt, Thank you for posting this video. I have a 2000 Honda Passport and, after making a mess changing my oil, I was wondering whether I should mess with taking off the skid plates- but you made it clear that there's not much involved; so I will do that in the future. Thank you VERY much!
My 2001 rodeo V6-3.2L for service uses 5 quarts of SAE 10W-30 with oil filter; 4.2 quarts without filter change. Oil capacity original factory fill is 6.3 quarts of oil. I recommend a 22mm 6 point hex socket for the oil drain plug.
Great that you shared with us. I have an Amigo(1999) which i've always called it a "Rodeo Junior" so i watched knowing that things should be very similar. Thanks again. Max
Imax Junior You're welcome! Amigos are cool, too! All of my Rodeo videos should apply directly to your Amigo, too, so check them all out. Thanks for watching!
we had these in australia - they were called the Holden Rodeo (it had an Isuzu motor) my dad had a 1998 Holden Rodeo 2.8L Turbo Diesel with the HITorq gearbox (his was 4wd) motor threw a rod at 200'000km... Holden and Isuzu changed terms and now Holden offers the Holden Colarado and Isuzu now has the Isuzu D-Max
Hi, thanks for your comments! I'm very sorry for not replying sooner - I was completely overwhelmed at work this summer/fall and I am just now getting a chance to catch up on messages and comments. Please accept my apology, as I do try to make a point to respond to viewers in a timely manner. I just got swamped over the summer and really couldn't keep up. You guys are lucky in Australia to have Holden/Isuzu diesel options! We didn't get those here in the U.S, but I wish we had. I'd love to have a diesel Rodeo or Trooper! Thanks for watching!
Hi Kenny, yes - you can partially drain some oil out. There are a few ways to go about it. One option is to simply remove the drain pan plug and allow some oil to drain out into a catch basin, and then re-install the plug. The problem with that is that it's going to be very messy, because you're going to have to try to re-install the plug while the oil is draining out of the pan, so it's going to splash everywhere. It may be best to simply loosen the plug but not completely remove it - this should allow a very small amount of oil to drip out slowly. Depending on how much oil you need to drain, this could take quite a while, but it should be pretty easy and clean. Another option would be to remove the oil filter - this will allow a moderate amount of oil to drain out without having to worry about the entire pan draining out. If you go with this option and you don't want to replace the filter with a new one, you can simply re-install the old one after you're done. Lastly, you could try to use a small handheld fluid pump and push the "suction" hose down the oil dipstick tube. I've never tried to do this, and I think it would quite difficult to get a small diameter hose all the way down into the drain pan, but it's probably possible. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!
***** Good call...I just don't have the right size/shape funnel to fit in there to catch all the oil...but great tip. Maybe next time I'll have to spend a few bucks to get a funnel that will work and save myself a few minutes. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video bro I got a good idea for you... Clamp on a plastic to Shield the skid plate so that whatever goes near it would slide off the plastic.. cut yourself a plastic or a piece of carton and clamp it on with those little clamps from Harbor Freight on the outside of the skid pan. Thanks again for your video bro
Good job. Looks like you take excellent care of your Rodeo. You’ve got over a hundred thousand miles on it…….at what mileage did you have the timing belt replaced and who did the work?
Hi Joe, good question - because this filter mounts horizontally, I don't usually fill it up prior to installing it, since the oil would just dump back while trying to install it. So, I typically install the filter and then turn the engine on and let it run for a couple of minutes to fill up the oil filter, then turn it back off and check the oil level again after about 5 minutes of sitting. Usually I'll have to add a little bit of oil at that point. Thanks for watching!
Great video, Matt. Thank you. It helped me with my 1999 Rodeo. I realized I am missing the skid plate that is under the oil pan that you had to remove in the video. Do you know the part number or if it called something else? I cannot find the part for the life of me. I have the front skid plate, just not the one under the oil plug.
You know what, that is a great question Nowell! I had never searched for this part, but after you asked, I looked high and low on the internet and cannot even find a parts diagram that shows it. I did discover that only certain Rodeos have this skid plate, so it's possible that yours did not come with one from the factory. Your best bet is probably to scour the local junkyards to see if you can score one. Or, you might want to check on www.planetisuzoo.com and see if anyone has one they are willing to part with. Good luck, and please let me know if you do discover the part number for this! Thanks for watching!
I am starting to think mine didn't come with one like you said. I talked to someone who has owned two 1998 Rodeo's and neither one had it. I also contacted a parts dealer and they could only find the front skid plate in their system, not only for the 1999, but they couldn't find it for the 2001 either. Kind of a mystery until I can check out the junkyard. I'll have a look at www.planetisuzoo.com too. Thanks a lot for taking the time to look into it.
Thanks saw the video So i noticed the isuzu rodeo engine looks kind of the same as the trooper so do you think it has the same cover as this one just asking i don't do mechanic just doing research jus t got thus vehicle and like I said the Wal-Mart refused to do the oil change and the bolt is rusty so we would have to do it we found out the steering wheel pump or something might be leaking that's another question that container at the top in front of the brake fluid is steering fluid? it says use only ATF Dextron thanks for your help
Rachel, the Rodeo engine is identical to the Trooper engine, except that it is smaller in displacement (3.2L vs. 3.5L in the Trooper). When you ask about the cover, do you mean the plastic engine cover that sits on top of the intake manifold? I don't know if that cover is identical between Rodeos and Troopers, but I can check if that is what you are asking about. l am very surprised that Wal Mart refused to do an oil change because of oil residue on the exterior of the engine. Where is the oil residue? Is it on the oil pan, or on the engine itself? Yes, the fluid reservoir on the driver's side near the firewall that references ATF should be the power steering fluid.

I have a 2000 Honda Passport which is pretty much the same vehicle. The vehicle is very reliable if you take care of it, and maintain it well. Mine is still running fine, and it's 20 years old.

Lol if you removed my skid plate to change oil id be pretty impressed. If you where working on the clock id probably fire u before you where able to get it off

No need to remove the skid plate, just use a funnel to drain the oil into the drain pan or bucket.

No oil plug gasket?
Couldn't you trim a plastic milk carton and make a funnel to divert the oil into a pan?
+Robert Bigler Yep, that would definitely work - good idea!
Is this a reliable automobile in your opinion?
I have a 2000 Honda Passport which is pretty much the same vehicle. The vehicle is very reliable if you take care of it, and maintain it well. Mine is still running fine, and it's 20 years old.

i didnt on mine, worked fine still.
My manual says 5 quarts. Is that wrong.
My 01 Rodeo 3.2L require 5 quarts. Not all Rodeo's have the same engine.
can't get drain socket out!!!!
They you stripped it.
doing this on an 02 rodeo izusu 3.2 litre, no plate underneath boys :D
