That aluminum foil is a great idea, last time I changed mine I had oil all over the place due to that oil filter location - thanks!
Anytime! The fuel filter also doesn't have the best design for draining and replacing!
I've been meaning to release the video for that service, stay tuned 🙌
Foil is a good idea. I use a 13 gallon plastic kitchen garbage bag and drape it over like you did. If you turn your gallon jugs flat ,the oil comes out nice and doesn't do that burping that makes a mess sometimes.
Great suggestion & observation that could quickly make a mess especially without a funnel
Pro Tip, invert the container where the spout is at the top. Nice and smooth that way and easier to control volume. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks, I've done so since ya'll recommended it and it makes it a lot easier @@bombmanize
I don’t know how I missed the tinfoil idea. What a great frickin idea. I’ve been changing my oil for years and all the videos I’ve seen, that’s the first time I’ve seen that! Genius. Thanks again for the video! 🍻 Back at ya brother!
Right on 👌 It's definitely a game changer
Nice job. It is good to see a youngster tackling some maintenance. Saves a lot of money. It really isn't that hard. Don't be afraid of the tranny service either..it too 🙃is not that difficult.
Thanks Ken
Yeah I did the trans fluid as well just never made a video on it
I'm going to start making more vids on this truck soon
Foil under the filter, brilliant. Thanks!
Here to help Gary ✅
i'll be cranking out more vids on the Duramax soon. It's usually tucked back in the driveway so I put off taking it out to make videos on it
I full time rv'd for 4 years and couldn't do any work. We're now back at our home in Las Vegas and I don't have any excuses.
I did the transfer case and differentials last week.
Nice, I'm sure you saw a TON in the 4 years! Is your rig a GM platform?@@IPING4U
2015 2500 Duramax currently 140,000 miles
great video , the aluminum foil was key for clean up for sure
@@robinkelley8124 Absolutely, that's my favorite trick
If you pour it out sideways it won’t “glug” like that and will flow smoothly.
Thanks Chase, had another fella share that helpful tip as well. Makes the job easier 👍
I put my front tires up on ramps, my ramps are made of wood and are from the 1940's. Handed down from my grandfather, to my dad and now to me. By raising the front end up more oil will drain out, the bump in the oil pan wont fully drain unless you raise up the front end of the truck. I use 15w40 synthetic diesel oil and i change my oil at 3000 to 3500 miles. I change the red transmission filter every other oil change and also the fuel filter every other oil change. WIX oil filter, Alison red transmission filter and CAT fuel filter. My truck is a 2013 chevy silverado 2500HD 6.6L LML Duramax currently at 153,700 miles.
Proactive maintenance is the KEY to longevity 👌
@Striker 50
Yes sir it is. Oils cheep. Getting ready to take the duramax on a 4,000 mile road trip pulling a 10,000lb car trailer with my 2017 jeep wrangler JK Custom General Patton Edition on it from Minnesota to Moab Utah and back.
@@waynejohnson1060 Now that's a trip right there! Will be doing a 2,500mi to Texas with a 4 horse trailer in June
@Striker 50
We're taking our trip in June also. I have a CB Radio in my truck. It's a Uniden PRESIDENT P300 SSB radio. I have a Wilson 5000 antenna thru the roof dead center. It's a great set up and will talk 70 to 90 miles on side band, and when skip conditions are right it will talk coast to coast including Canada eh. So if u got a radio in ur truck I'll be on 38LSB, 36LSB and 19 AM (the trucker channel)
@@waynejohnson1060 10-4 over ✌
Cause I can definitely do that with a gallon jug of heavy duty diesel oil on a truck with 6 inch lift🤯🤯
You got it 👍👍
Love that video. Thanks for taking the time to show us. Have you done a video for transmission oul change on a 2016 sSerra 2500hd deasel?
Glad I could help! I have not made a video, but I have done the transmission oil change
It would be wonderful if you could make one on the LML 2016 Sierra next ti.e you get the chance. Thank you brother.
@@vidalalfaro1205 You'll be the first person I let know when I do 👍
Thank you Sir.💪
Thanks,
Thanks for watching
I was running that oil until I found out it’s not full synthetic
@@Palantir_Daily Yup, still better than conventional
It's quite hard to find full synthetic that doesn't cost as much as a car payment
@@Striker50_very true lol
@@Palantir_Daily I saw those prices and said I'm goooood
Did you ever do a video on changing the transmission fluid?
I did one before a trip to Texas but never recorded it, I can make one in the next couple thousand miles
Damn I got the exact color and trim lol, this video will be useful as I just bought it about a month ago and I'll be doing the an oil change soon, have you had any problems with the glow plugs? In case you say yes, do you have any advise or something I should keep in mind? Mine just gave me a P0678 wich means glow plug on cilinder #8, apears to be quite of an easy job, apparently, just as spark plugs on gas engines it's better to replace all of them or at least that's what I have readed online a couple minutes ago
Lol niceee, we just got a matching color camper shell for it.
I haven't had issues with them, it agreed, good to replace them all although a bit pricey. Since it's used you'll know if they've been replaced or not prior and reduce future issues since you'll know they're new
Great video and exactly what I needed to do my first oil change on a new-to-me 2016 w/LML engine. I would like to know about the large, white filter on the right bank that has a wire connector on the bottom. I'm assuming that is the coolant filter? Also, what are your recommendations for changing out the front shocks - mine appear to be original and are getting some rust on the lower mounting area. Mileage is 85000. Thank you!
Are you referring to the filter in the Front-right passenger wheel well?
As for the shocks how is it riding? Stiff or wobbly? I don't have much experience with rust since I'm in the Southwest, but always want to heed with caution if it's getting quite nasty
Yes, on the filter location. It's riding a little rough when going over RR tracks it feels stiff. I'm not real sure which replacement shocks would be best for this truck. I don't do any off-roading, mostly highway.@@Striker50_
That would be the fuel filter. I recorded how to change it, but have not uploaded it yet.
Nice. I would stick to something OEM, or comparable. Have to remember, at the end of the day, you get what you pay for with no-name parts@@airdave1953
Is that oil a synthetic or premium conventional?
Hey Trystan thanks for bringing this up!
Unfortunately it is not a FULL synthetic oil, but it IS better than the CJ-4 oil that was originally meant for this engine. This newer blend should have more additives and protection than the original oil grade from when this engine first came out.
Be sure to check out the Costco link I have in the description and read the comments on the review section to get a better sense if this is right for you!
I personally would love if Costco goes all in and offers a FULL synthetic even if it costs more because I know that they'd be most likely to offer something of quality.
Thanks for watching btw!
@@Striker50_ it's CK-4 it's of high quality even thou it's not FS, I'm just wondering it's looks like something from Warren Distribution,
And if it is, maybe they are somewhat similar to Mag 1, which is available in our country
@@trystanjaysubido3294 I wouldn't be able to accurately answer this unfortunately
Yes, Kirkland oil is Warren just like Mag 1. It even says so on the label.
Is that costco 15w40 oil synthetic?
It is not synthetic, though the ck4 rating oil usually exceeds the standards of older CJ4 engines like this one
@@Striker50_ how long between oil changes with that oil?
@@blanchec94 To be on the cautious end, change it with 10-15% oil life left. If you're hauling regularly, 15-20% oil life, that is of course if you're planning on keeping it for like 20 years
When doing tranny filter?
I replaced it previously when doing a trans. oil change. Are you referring to the red filter or the filter inside the trans. oil pan?
🧐
Thanks for stopping by 😀
@@Striker50_ keep that energy
@@KOVIDGOON There's no other way 🙏
You needed to let the oil drill complete out,.drill both oil pan and filter,elevate the truck,let it drill overnight... You wasting oil, mixing dirty oil with clean oil...bad job
Make a video! I'd like to see how you do it! 🤙
Well, I would, but I'm not going to, it's pretty simple, the point is removing the old oil, completely drained free,than put clean oil in.i laugh about it,seem you're in a real hurry.. try it out the next time, take your sweet time..stay safe
Huh lol... you think shops let vehicles sit over night 🤦♂️
Yeah GM racks that vehicle overnight to let the oil drain out. Lmao Internet people are wild. There’s always old oil in system
@@bombmanize ,. Yeah..I decided to remove my stock oil pan, with a PPE product.. to get all oil out of my truck.. the best way to go..stay strong
