Quality video. I did my first oil change at 5k myself then brought it to dealer for all the rest. At $75 including tax they do oil change, rotate tires, top of fluids and a carwash. Can’t beat that price for all the work/ convenience plus its at the dealer.

Glad you liked the video. The dealer can be more convenient, but in my city (Houston) due to traffic and distances it's a hassle. It takes me like 35 min to drive there. Then it takes them 2+ hours to do the job. Then 35 minutes to drive back. That's at least 3+ hours of my life and I'm hoping they don't screw up. For me the car wash is actually not enticing, because dealerships don't do a good job. I maintain a ceramic coating on my daily driven cars and dealer washes tend to install swirls into paint I spent a couple of days making perfect. So my dealer actually has it noted in their system to NOT wash my car when it's there for warranty/recall work.

All modern cars I have the light comes on with the ignition, usually along with other important warning lights. If yours stays on once the engine is running, like while you’re driving, you should scan it and see what it is. Autozone can scan for free or you can buy one of those cheap scanners that uses your smartphone. This way at least you’ll know what the code is in case dealer claims they dont see it.

@DmitrysGarage

4 жыл бұрын

Tom, thanks for watching. Appreciate the kind comment. For the truck I would recommend any brand name (Mobil, Castrol, etc..) synthetic blend or full synth that matches the factory weight and spec if you're daily driving it like most Americans do. If you have a unique case like frequent heavy duty towing, a desire for long change intervals, a high weight oil for performance, etc... then you can get fancy with it. Keep in mind there are lots of games and loopholes these companies use to market oil as "full synthetic" when it is really a Group III oil. Group III oils are made from highly refined crude base stock, but many people don't consider that to be truly synthetic. Group IV and Group V are the true synthetics and you have to do your research due to the gimmicking these companies do.

Good stuff. Been doing oil changes on my own cars for a while but new to GM so figured I'd take an intro course and not be surprised. Well, I am surprised. Surprised at how dumb the engineers were to put the filter on such a hard spot. Now, I do need to get that clamp. My Dodge Durango has the filter vertical in the engine bay, like most Subaru's. Engineers don't make it easy, do they?

Enjoyed this video and your wiring for radar detector/dash cam. I am doing a lot of driving about 1,000 miles/week. Not towing but 50% on ranch roads. Any special considerations I should be aware of? Is a 2020 AT4. Thanks!

@DmitrysGarage

4 жыл бұрын

Meant to reply earlier, but got sidetracked. I think at 1,000m/week that is a lot of oil changes. On one hand you could look into oil testing with a lab to see how far you can stretch your chosen oil. You could also find a more durable oil. However, because you are driving on ranch roads you're going to get more dust and dirt into your oil from the intake filter. So long duration may or may not be desirable. Testing would really tell. At the least, for such a high use vehicle, I would maintain a religious change schedule and overall maintenance schedule. Most fleet and business vehicles tend to be in bad shape due to neglect more than the nature of the work.

Growing up, I always used to put Lucas in with the oil on oil changes but now with this new truck, I was just wondering if it's something I should still do or not necessary with synthetic oil

@DmitrysGarage

2 жыл бұрын

I would almost always suggest just going with a high quality synthetic oil (Castrol, Mobile 1, etc) that matches OEM spec. Unless you truly have a special application. If you’re racing, hauling/towing, especially in extreme climates, etc. Then I suggest getting a factory spec synth oil tested by a lab through its life and try tweaking it. So if you’re hauling in a super hot climate try a slightly thicker high end oil with lots of molybdenum and zinc and see how it holds up in lab tests.

I bought a GMC 2022 with a 6.2 L engine. I just had the service done at the dealership at 5000 miles I plan on doing an interval change at 750 oil is cheap engines, not so much. Just for the heck of it, I went out and checked the oil level on my GMC, and to my surprise, I've never seen a dipstick like this. It's kind of braided. I'm trying to find out what it is with not much luck so far, but I think it's far superior to the traditional anybody has any experience let me know.

I have a 2020 Trail Boss 6.2. Is it recommended or necessary to change the oil early for the first oil change? I’ve read some different things like change at 500, 1500, or 2000. I’ve past the 500 and the 1500 mark, currently at 2000.

@DmitrysGarage

3 жыл бұрын

For a daily driver, I have typically flushed out the factory fill and swapped in my choice of factory approved spec oil at 1,000 miles. Then I just run it normal intervals going forward, whatever the manual and computer says for normal duty. If you're at 2,000 it's not a bad time to go ahead and do it. The first oil change will be the most contaminated with metal. I've done oil analysis on engines as they age and the first one always has more metal in it vs. a healthy broken in engine.

Dimitry, I watched this video and clicked the link to buy the oil and oil filter on Amazon. I received the order and started to change my oil. Right in the middle of things I noticed I received the wrong filter. I received a PF63e but i really needed a PF26. I went back on Amazon and ordered the correct filter. Not a big deal other than my truck has been sitting in the driveway for three days. Also, and more important, I received the right brand of Oil but it is 0w-20 but I notice the oil cap says the truck should use 15w-40. I have a 2020 GMC denali duramax diesel. What oil should I be using. BTW, why did I not receive the right parts? I would appreciate a quick response so I can get back on the road.

With this much oil capacity you won’t be in any danger. You would have to lose a lot more than a quart to have a problem. Though you should be routinely checking oil level, at least once a month at minimum to make sure you don’t have a major leak or problem (ie head gasket).

You're overthinking this. I can sympathize as I'm a bit OCD and a hypochondriac about this kind of stuff. It is fine to be within the hash marks, you do not have to be at the top. The hash marks on the dipstick indicate an acceptable range of oil levels once you've changed the oil, started the engine, then let it cool down. The middle of the hash marks for me was the exact designed capacity as documented by GM. Being +/- a little oil doesn't make a huge difference and readings vary with conditions i.e. temperature, how long ago you started the engine, etc... People get very anxious on these dipsticks that don't show a fixed line to hit. People also get anxious when there is a fixed line and they're a little off. You can't win when designing a dipstick. The good news is at least we still get oil dipsticks in these trucks, because they're starting to disappear on new cars.

The front driver's side tire replaces the rear passenger side tire, so it moves diagonally across the truck. The front passenger side tire replaces the rear driver's side tire, also diagonally. However, the rear wheels and tires you took off just move up they don't cross over diagonally. So the passenger side rear will replace the passenger side front and the driver's side rear will replace the driver's side front.
