If I were doing a video of how to change the oil in a crampedaero, ( that's what I call my 16,2SS ) Camaro I think I would've shown at the end how to reset the oil life screen. But any my son follows your videos and likes all the cool stuff you've done so far to your ride. Keep up the good work.

Hey guy I got 2016 Camaro ss 5w30, so this mean I call use 0w-40?

I ran 15w50 all summer but I live in the desert of southern California and morning start temperatures are 70 and daytime is 107. Retained much improved oil pressure at idle and about 5 degrees cooler oil temps. Ran 5w30 from October until mid June

This is 2024 and I’m telling you thank you for everything sir…

Thanks, I did this for the very first time! The video was highly useful considering you used two jack stands, which are at my disposal too at the moment.

Great video brother! I got everything you recommended and everything went smooth with my 21 SS 1LE.

I noticed while draining the oil the car was lifted at an angle, that doesn’t allow for the oil to fully drain and would still have some of the old oil in the oil pan as its tilted away from the drain plug.

@macpettit2327

4 жыл бұрын

The drain plug is at the rear of the pan, the tilt would theoretically help to push all the excess oil to the rear, it's always an option to jack from all 4 corners, but I have never done that on any of my vehicles I've owned

are you just putting the jack stand on the passege side pinch weld then going to the driver side and jacking up that side?

Plz to a Spark plug change on 2019 Camaro SS 6.2L!

I rip it from time to time and I daily it what oil do you think is best for my 2019 2SS ?

Can you please do a Spark plug change on a 2019 Camaro SS 🙏🏻 I would appreciate it so much!! I believe the labor for spark plug is very high!!

Try the Solo cup hack for removing the oil filter, saves a ton of mess.

Did you not prime the filter? I thought it was essential for this engine for start up?

Are you still running this oil after a year and do you run it for the street too or were you preparing to go to a track later in the video?

What do you do with the old oil? I have a 2018 SS, and everyone just says to take it to the dealer so they can do it and get rid of the oil for you. Btw sick wrap!

It does! You'll save money using the "street" oil tho, so it depends on what kind of driving you are doing!

Question, my daily is a civic and I always drop the car on all 4 wheels and a decent amount of "more" oil will flow out in that position. Do you think the Camaro would do the same? Im close to 1300 miles on the 1Le so need to do first change soon.

@marcusallen4177

I do the same and that’s good practice. If you take it anywhere else, the car is on the ground the whole time and drains into a pit anyway

Noticed that you had the jack adapters on the pinch welds when lifting but no adapters on the stands? Firstly, can you link the ones you have and secondly, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having the other ones if the pinch weld is going to sit even longer on the stands? I have a camaro too and I am still trying to figure out what I should be doing when it comes to jacking it up and putting it on stands. Thanks

@johnsteinmetz2689

4 жыл бұрын

usually the point of the lift adapters is so the jack doesnt slip off the pinch welds when lifting. a puck can usually do the job well enough, thats what i use. Don't necessarily need an adapter for sitting on stands, the pinch welds should be fine

0w40 is expensive$$$ and hard to find.

Expensive; yes but it’s optimal for street and track junkies; it’s on amazon and ships quick; have it linked 👍
