oil filter was a nightmare to remove on my 1st change. i think the dealer tightened it with a power tool. i used that filter removal tool and the filter bent before finally loosening! also need to double check the filters if someone grabs it for you from the back because people arent too bright when it comes to grabbing the right one. oem costs the same as mobil 1 so i ended up going with the oem filter
When this happened to me, the dealership said the whole steering column would have to be replaced 😂. I ended up buying a used motor for $40 and that fixed it.
@@daniellarson4415 the biggest concern would be have you overheated your engine? Becuase then you can run into the headgaskets failing from overheating. If you didnt overheat it and the engine is the running smooth then im pretty sure your engine is good to go. But if you did overheat your engine you can do a leak down/combustion test.
@@gtflips It wasn't my car. I bought it cheap as a no-run and realized it had coolant in the oil pan. I couldn't start it so I'm wondering if it's gone. I would've felt better if it started. I can do the water pump and the head gasket, just a lot of time and money if there's something I'm overlooking. Just asking for tips to be watching out for.
Great video! I just ordered the same grille, but I'm curious, what did you use to paint the grille? I'm of the same opinion that it definitely looks better glossy.
its just too much every time , just get an older car, they kept junkyards going until recently, poor families used to vacation yearly in a Chevy station wagon from New York to California without breaking down, loaded every seat and the roof
I'm hoping there is enough clearance between that clamp and the pan so its not going to touch and raddle... or even worse make a whole in the aluminum pan... But I do appreciate the video.
Funny enough VW did the same with their 12v VR6, is weird as they only have the coolant lines on certain motors. My retired 1.8t thankfully never had to go through such issues.
Make sure that your engine is cool? Always have a warm engine when changing oil. That's insane to change while cool. If too hot, pop the hood, run a fan for 20 minutes, then start the oil change. Also, pop the oil filler cap before draining to allow oil to flow faster.
Good Ole new England. Man I feel your pain. I'm from RI myself and it's crazy how much salt they dump on these roads. It's probably why we have the worst roads in the country
the screen next to the speedometer will give you an alert when you're close to 5k miles. then you can reset it using the arrow keys on the steering wheel
If you just purchased it, I assume it was used, change the oil right away. You don't know when the last time it was changed, so it will guarantee you have fresh oil. You also then have a reference mileage for future oil changes. Change the oil and filter every 5k miles after that.
Bro ... I want to say thank you for this video. Never gone this deep under the hood, and your video literally walked me through, step by step. Few things to finish up on my 2015 CX9, and then I'm done changing the water pump, oil pan gasket, and an array of other things along the way. I haven't started it yet, and no matter what happens, I learned a ton.. I have all the tools I'll ever need and saved about 5k doing it myself. Super grateful!!
I know this is 2 years old but I was able to get an OE product for $70 on EBay, same exact part I would’ve got from AutoZone for $110+. Luckily these are located on the lower front bumper and doesn’t need any type of subframe dropping or what not.
I don’t care how cheap it was to do this. Show people how to do it in a way that will actually last! Not removing rust is a critical mistake that will just cause all this time and material to go in the shitter. For Christ sake at 17:48 you can see it already had came off at the end of the panel!
