2019-2024 Chevy Blazer Oil Change (In depth How to) 

Most folks just put the spin-on filter hand tight. (Unless you had a cartridge filter)

I asked for this video a long time ago. Thank you for doing it.

Thanks for this video brother! When I bought my new RS back in January I started looking into things to do on mine and became a fan of your journey with yours. I'll also use my first service through the dealership for oil but have you been rotating your own tires? How do those sensors in the tires work that track air pressure? Might be an idea for a future video. Thanks for all you've done to help us ordinary folk with awesome upgrade videos!

Great video. I'll be getting ready to do an oil change on my 2024 Blazer in a few weeks. One word of caution you may want to consider. These engines have problems with timing chains and key to keep them from failing is lubrication. I'd be changing my oil sooner than the 7% left on the oil monitor, especially seeing how dark your oil was. I'm shooting for every 3,500 miles. That may be overkill, but new timing chains is an expensive job.

Use CLEAN oil on the clean filter, and PRE-FILL the new filter. Especially since it vertical!!

You’re the freaking BOMB dude!!! THANK YOU!!

Great video and one of the things I thought you would miss. you did near the end by resetting the " trip B " so you can keep track of how many miles / kms you have on this oil change. You also already realize that driving or running the engine for too long gets the oil really hot but other than changing the oil on a Fall or Winter day with temps near freezing, just warming it up while you put the wheel ramps in place and get your oil change tools ready is enough warm up time to get the oil to flow easier. I'm not even 100% positive if it's necessary but the opening of the oil filler cap is something I always do but I kind of lay the cap sideways on the hole so there's less chance that something would fall in ( ya overkill _). I would also put a bit of oil into the filter as in this case it is located straight up and down. You don't need to fill it up completely but having some oil in the filter is a good idea, just make sure to not tip it when putting it back on. To change it BEFORE the oil change warning comes on and a little more than half the distance the manufacturer suggests is the best, cheapest insurance against early engine wear. Waiting for the oil change meter on the gauge cluster to say 10% will mean you are closer to the "max" oil life so I do mine before it goes under 30/% at the latest. The vehicle manufacturer's oil change recommendation is for "normal driving" but almost no one drives "normally ".Frequent short trips driving less than 10 minutes in the summer or 1/2 hour in the winter is "severe' driving. Idling / warming up your engine for longer than 30 seconds is severe driving. Pulling a trailer or pushing the gas pedal further than halfway is severe driving but is what 90% of people do. Also change the oil before 12 months even if the vehicle has only ben driven 3000 miles or says 50%-75% oil life remaining. So in that case, changing your oil at 5000 or 6000 miles in a vehicle that has an oil change recommendation of 10,000 is what you SHOULD be doing anyways. I'm glad you mention the earlier oil change intervals. Oh and one thing I learned the hard way is if you change your oil outside in the driveway and there's even a light breeze, once the oil is coming out for a bit the stream of oil becomes very light and will be blown all over the driveway under the car so the oil change matt a cardboard box or keeping the oil change pan close to the drain is a good idea. Oh and keep the receipt for the oil and filter and the mileage written on it and the receipts in the glove box or in a ziplock bag in the spare tire well especially of the vehicle is still under warranty/ If you're using the recommended type and grade of oil ( Dexos in this case ) doing your own oil change WON"T void your warranty and is better than having a "lube shop" do it or even the brand new mechanic at the dealership.

Simple. Great!! One thing to do: when "puncturing" the aluminum seal on the oil bottle...don't push it in. Cut it and remove it whole. Many can attest to that piece falling into the engine to partially clog the pump oil pick up. Also...look under torque specifications for both: Oil pan plug and filter. Don't want any of those to come loose. Again thanks for the vid.

Good info... good job... but a little lengthy. Should also check the oil level on the dipstick. Thanks.

Chevrolet did it right on this model! The old Blazers are easy as this too!

Great video. Have you done the trans fluid yet? That'll be a good video too

Helpful video, thank you. Just a couple of tips for you from experience. Make sure the old gasket came off (sometimes it sticks to the car instead of coming off with the old filter) and fill the filter with oil before installing. Thanks again, nice job

I like your attention to detail and the fact that you change your oil more often than the 7,500 mile recommendation. But if it was me since you went to Walmart anyway, I would just use SuperTech full synthetic oil. It meets all the same specs and tests show very little difference between how it performs and how Mobil1 performs. Then again I might decide to use 0W-30 instead of 5W-30 which your owner's manual mentions and I'm not sure SuperTech is available in 0W-30. Still Great Video?

If you own the car you 100% want to fill the filter with oil before you put it back on all the dry starts over the lifetime of the engine is not good, also forgot to mention the #1 rule in changing oil filters always check to make sure the old gasket from the filter was removed and not stuck on the engine block otherwise you'll have a double gasket very serious situation. Lastly sorry the oil pan is NOT aluminum... it's stamped real metal painted black try a magnet on it 😅

Thanks for the informative video.

Great video!!

Thank you 1st time doing it !

Just for the record... V6 is not necessarily AKA RS or Premier.. I have a 3LT with the V6.

Good job, I have a 2020RS in midnight blue. Can I get red calipers installed through GM?

Great video! Question though, how much oil are you seeing come of of the engine after you drained it? Would love to to know if that amount is varying from time to time. Thanks!

Thank you.Well done

Many thanks for your valuable video bro. I just wanna ask you about the oil pan is made of aluminum, while in another channel the pan was made of plastic. Is it a matter of different trims? I'm thinking of buying a blazer and I hate plastic oil pans. By the way the other car in that channel was in Canada.

That doesn't look too difficult. Once my oil changes at the dealership are used up, I'm switching to AmsOil. Mobile 1 is good but Ams has a better additive package

great video thanks

Anything mobil 1 is great

I keep a calendar in the garage to keep track.

What’s the site u got the k&n cold air Intake Havnt found one for mine

Hopefully u make a video fixing the parking break with the wrench under it

Isn’t it best to fill the filter with oil ?

(1) use fresh clean oil on the new oil filter (2) only hand tight the oil filter

Nice ride.. Air filter?

2 questions, how much are you actually saving by doing it yourself? Also, how do you dispose of the old oil?

I like your shirt

Stay with the AC Delco oil filter I've seen oil filters cut open they're not as good as you think that's why I stay with the factory oil filter jeans for AC Delco motorcraft for Ford and whatever Chrysler may use and other car companies or whatever they use

and always check your oil level with the dip stick dont go by the computer

the 2021 doesn't have an undercarriage cover?

use double latex gloves mechanic gloves wont help to do an oil change

Hey Jamoke!? What engine it b?

Thanx

Where did you get your ramps?

hand tight quarter turn on the spin on oil filters no wrenches or tools needed ever please lmao

Damn I can’t believe how easy that was. 😳🤦🏾‍♂️

Should never do 7500 on 4000 to 5000 max

My 2019 Blazer V6 is quicker then my stock 87 Grand national. It pulls away and keeps pulling away.

He comments that all RS trailblazer 2019 thru 22 have the v6 NOT the case

What year is this?

Great Job Walmart Shopper … do you lease or own … if you lease do t change your oil just rest the alert 😂

Wear a glove next time bro LOL
