thanks i needed to see the angle of the plug....i always replace the plug with a [fumoto] ball valve and drain straight into the old oil jug. this plug is not pointed to the ground and i can use the long nipple.
Thank you so much because of you. I saved $80 on an oil change and learn how to do this by myself. I know I can’t just speak for myself but learning how to do your own things help you become the man you wanna be
Thank you so much for this video. You were clearr, concise and didn't waste anyone's time. You got a new subscriber this morning. Wish everyone did their how to videos like you do.
You can use a ratchet wrench for the oil filter cap you would have to cut the open end off first because the wrench is too long. Works great for on and off.
You don’t have to, but it will be better for your engine. I recommend always changing the filter. Only in emergency situations would I not change the filter
@@FixItFrench Thanks for your reply. I didn't know what to expect. I saw other videos where guys were twisting and shoving and grunting and no one showed the inside of the cap and the end of the filter close up so you can see how the 2 piecs fit together. Mine clicked in easily and seemed a little loose. I used ac delco OEM filter and original oil cap. Maybe the others were using different brands?
@@yeehaw779 you have the 2.4 L. This car is a 1.6 L there are very few differences in vehicles, but yours has the filter on the bottom of the car. Also, when you remove the filter, all the oil in the tank will drain so, you need to change the filter when you change the oil
@@yeehaw779 gotcha the 2018-2023 are a little different than the 2010-2017. The car in this vehicle is a 2017 and it’s a 1.6L I guess the 2018-2023 changed their location of the filter
Car ramps. If you don’t have ramps, you can also drive on a curb by the road. You just need enough space to get u see the vehicle. What ever you use, make sure it can hold up the weight of the car like ramps, jack/jack stands or a curb. Hope that helps
There are 2 different types, the 1.5L and the 2.4L. The last time I checked the 1.5 has it, but the 2.4 does not. The 2022 might be different, but I don’t believe it is. I will look it up, and if there is any misinformation, I will correct it 👍🏼
@@zofaa1252 what tool are you using to get it off? When they are stuck like that, it’s important to get the correct size socket to open it. You don’t want to ruin the plastic with a wrench or adjustable wrench. If you don’t have a socket that big, you can rent them from an auto part store.
I explained this in another comment. There is a difference between the 1.4 L and the 2.4 L. The 1.4 L does have the cartridge oil filter and the 2.4 does not I haven’t personally changed the 2023 but I have changed all the way up to 2019 and that’s the way it is. I will do some further studying just to make sure. Thanks for the heads up if that is the case 👍🏼
I believe they are the same. The only thing that may be different is the location of the oil filter. Some are underneath the car instead of being connected to the engine block

That’s a great tip! I’ll pin this comment!

I couldn’t agree more! Glad I could help you with that, and save you some money 🤙🏼🤙🏼

This might be my favorite comment! Glad I could help, and welcome to the crew 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Super useful, easy to follow, and clear directions. Thanks French!
Glad I could help!! Thanks for watching brother✊✊

Nice! Concise and well put together!
Appreciate that! Glad I could help🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you. Saved me so money. 👍
Awesome! Glad I could help👍🏼👍🏼
Do you plan on making more equinox videos? This was very helpful brother👍🏼
Oh yeah, lots of equinox videos coming 👍🏼 brakes, barrings, filters, etc
Well done! Should be an easy tutorial for anyone that has a similar car to you. Thanks for sharing.
Yes I hope so, I’m going to start a new playlist specifically for the Equinox! Thanks for stopping by Yellow Jacket 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@FixItFrench I'll be here for the long haul.😎
Great tip for the o-ring
Thanks for watching brother ✊🏼✊🏼

It’s the first time I’ve heard that one. Thanks for the tip, hopefully somebody sees that
What is the size of the wrench please ?
@@StanleyPaulime I do not know, hopefully Kieth will see this and answer that question
@@StanleyPaulime sorry it's one and a quarter I usually put it in
One and a quarter inch sorry I forgot to put the size in.
Ty for the info. Where did you get the ramps
These ramps are rhino ramps and I got them off Amazon a few years back. I believe tractor supply sells them as well 👍🏼
@@FixItFrench ty
@@tombrown5755 yessir 🤙🏼
I have a question do u have to change the oil filter for every oil change?
You don’t have to, but it will be better for your engine. I recommend always changing the filter. Only in emergency situations would I not change the filter
important: please add information about properly removing the filter cartridge from the cap and reinstalling the new cartridge into the cap
Pulls right out, and it clicks right back in. Hope that helps 👍🏼
@@FixItFrench Thanks for your reply. I didn't know what to expect.

@@lwalck8362 I’m sure there are some filters out there that twist in there. Glad you got yours in there, and that AC Delco is a great brand
Can I change the filter later? Also, why is my filter on the bottom?

@FixItFrench my car is the 2018 equinox and it says it's a 1.5L?
@@yeehaw779 gotcha the 2018-2023 are a little different than the 2010-2017. The car in this vehicle is a 2017 and it’s a 1.6L
I guess the 2018-2023 changed their location of the filter
Thanks bro
Glad I could help 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
What did you use to raise the car
Car ramps. If you don’t have ramps, you can also drive on a curb by the road. You just need enough space to get u see the vehicle. What ever you use, make sure it can hold up the weight of the car like ramps, jack/jack stands or a curb. Hope that helps
What is the size of the wrench please ?
In the video, I used an adjustable wrench for the oil filter and a 15 mm socket for the oil drain plug
I have a 2024, they put a normal oil filter on it. PF 64
It depends on what liter engine is in it. I believe there is a 1.6L and a 2.1L
How many ft lbs for the oil filter cap?
18ft lbs 🤙🏼🤙🏼
This is wrong 2022 does not have cartridge style filter
There are 2 different types, the 1.5L and the 2.4L. The last time I checked the 1.5 has it, but the 2.4 does not. The 2022 might be different, but I don’t believe it is. I will look it up, and if there is any misinformation, I will correct it 👍🏼
My oil filter housing is completely stuck shut lol I hate this car

No one ring in filter box
Wow! I would either take it back, or just the old ring. The old ring should be fine for just one oil change unless you had to cut it off
Not accurate, 2023 does not have cartridge oil filter.
I explained this in another comment. There is a difference between the 1.4 L and the 2.4 L. The 1.4 L does have the cartridge oil filter and the 2.4 does not

Is this same process for 2022 with a 1.5 liter motor??
I believe they are the same. The only thing that may be different is the location of the oil filter. Some are underneath the car instead of being connected to the engine block
They are not the same. Different filters and locations.
