I'm really glad that it helped. It's not only the satisfaction of doing it yourself, but you will save a ton of money over the life of your car(s). Brakes are another big money saver and they aren't that difficult.
Dude! get a universal joint set for your socket set. any self respecting auto parts store will have some in stock. also there are 32mm oil cap sockets made specifically for this job available too, they a bit more shallow which works better in tight spaces like seen in this very video.
I just went and got oil at Walmart and in their 'Full Synthetic' section I found a couple or three brands but nothing that says Dexos on the bottle, like yours. I bought Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5w-30 "Full Synthetic." Is that going to be Ok? No where on any of the other brands that were labeled "Full Synthetic" was the label Dexos is that something that's just recently changed?
I'm sure what you bought will be fine. If you want to be double sure, your owners manual should have some info on oil ratings and those ratings should be listed on the bottle. If we were talking about transmission fluid, I would not deviate from manufacturer recommended.
@@busabobsgarage9876 I think you're absolutely right. I mean, what I bought is "Full Synthetic" 5w-30 like the owner's manuel calls for, just without the "Dexos" label.
@@busabobsgarage9876 Everything went fine, I had to go buy a shorter 1 1/4 socket and a universal joint for my 1/2 drive. And thanks for including resetting the milage oil use in your video, that was a snap to change. :-)
Yes ill be doing my own oil change as soon as i get a few tools for the job and ill complete it. I bought an OBD code device, So i can check on codes an so on, erase em and try fix what needs to be done
Your video really helped me get info on some key parts, like the socket sizes and complete my oil change. Thank you for walking through this process in depth!
