Thank you for the video i couldnt find the oil filter i've never replaced one like this always older vehicles and i want to confirm this works for a 2021 chevy trax
Look at the cap where you put oil in the engine. It clearly says 5w30. This is a very trouble prone engine. It must have frequent oil changes, as in twice as often as the manufacturer recommends. They give extended oil change intervals as a means of fooling customers in to thinking it will be a cheap on maintenance vehicle. Unfortunately, that turbo really cooks the oil and eventually one of the common problems with this engine is a clogged engine to turbo oil line. so, change your oil when the oil life monitor is at 50 per cent. We have three vehicles with this engine in the family. We have experienced many problems, and I am just trying to help you. 2015 Cruze 2017 Sonic, and a 2021 Trax. Other problems have been cracked cooling system components. Parts that were at one time aluminum and are now plastic and engine heat over time makes those parts brittle and then they crack leading to cooling system leaks that leave you alongside of the road with an overheated engine.
I am trying to attempt to do my own oil change never done it before 😬 so I’m watching how to videos but on another video it said something about torque for the bolt underneath the car can you explain
I was wondering the same thing. Oil cap even specifies 5w30 on this model. In cold weather you would possibly want a lower viscosity but not higher (unless the engine is worn).
