First Oil Change | 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 6.6 Gas L8T 

Thanks! She's a little helper and likes hanging out when I work on stuff. She was under the truck with me for most of the video. I do prime the filters when I put them on, I spun it on for the vid but pulled it back off to fill it. The Internet doesn't like filling with unfiltered oil

@@adventureandrepeat... makes sense, that's why you didn't tighten it completely. I've watched many of your videos, I recently purchased one of these bad boys... very nice truck. 👌

@@redwhiteblue7831 Thanks for the support! We've got a lot of great content coming with the truck as well. Some cool, but useful, upgrades coming soon! I hope you enjoy your truck as much as we have with ours. Did you also get a gas engine?

@adventureandrepeat ... absolutely, no need for a diesel.

@@redwhiteblue7831 we were in the same boat. Would be cool to have. But with the tow ratings these gas engine have, it wasn't necessary

No problem! I hope it was helpful!

@@adventureandrepeat it was nice seeing kids getting involved in the process

@@KyleGoresch-xw3oz we try to get them involved whenever we can

@@adventureandrepeat thats really cool

I'm glad we were able to help! Be sure to check rear diff fluid levels as well. Common problem for them to be low in these trucks. Even mine was a quart low. I've got a vid up to document it as well

Thanks for the support! We have a lot of cool, but useful, upgrades coming for the truck in the near future

Yes they are! Thanks for the support! She was actually with me most of this process just off camera

Dexos1 gen3 oil requirements is considered to be a synthetic spec because regular mineral base oils can't conform to the strict standards. So it will usually be found in full synthetic or some semisynthetics

Thanks

No problem!

Are you looking at driver or passenger side? Pass side has an air duct to behind the grille to act as a cold air intake

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the support! I don't think it matters too much on grease type as much as doing it on a regular basis. I've had good luck with shell gadus red grease.

⁠@@adventureandrepeatdo you happen to have a link for where I can get that grease ?

@@nathanzamora7529 no problem! Here it is: amzn.to/4cmwo81

Thanks! I did actually pull the filter back off and prefill it off camera. Internet doesn't like unfiltered oil. It also has a rubber washer so it doesn't need to be replaced. And you are right, tight is relative and I should have used a torque wrench. The nice thing is the bung the plug goes into is about an inch thick with threads

Thanks for the input! I'll work on getting that added in!

This truck does have the skid plate package. And the heavier duty suspension that comes with the plow prep package. So far I've been impressed with how easy this truck has been to access everything I have needed to service

Great info!

Mobil one vs Castrol in your opinion for 95 % city driving.

@@adventureandrepeat I've honestly never looked under them and noted one that had the skid plates and if it had the front bash plate, they must not have relative to what I am used to with an older GM pickup that is horrible to reach that idler arm on the right hand frame rail. Big bonus to have a vehicle that the zerks can be reached fairly easily and unless I am wrong on that, your rear diff has a drain plug doesn't it ?, unlike I assume the half tons are still the remove the cover to drain the rear diff theme. As per the plow prep/camper prep I have seen various comments comparing the ride and get the idea its certainly quite noticeable as to how stiff the front end is compared to the standard torsion bars and guys swapping in the standard bars if they are not using a plow or adding a heavy front bumper/winch etc. Its not always easy to get just what one wants that's sitting on a dealers lot.

​@@zemo2332mobil one would be my preference

I have one on our Tahoe that I made. It does catch moisture and oil in it. So obviously there is value in them from what I have seen. I will be putting one on this truck shortly. But I don't know if they are the Greatest thing since sliced bread like they are advertised

I do actually. Did it off camera. Internet doesn't like putting unfiltered oil in the filter before it's installed

@@adventureandrepeat "unfiltered oil?" ... If it is new oil, it does not need to be "filtered". The internet is ignorant when it comes to this.

Unfortunately all the dealerships around my area are not good places to bring your vehicle for quality work. Have had personal experiences where simple things get done wrong and they won't fix it. And the headache and hassle with missed time at work to bring it there and get it back, it's just easier to spend a few dollars to do it right and at my convenience

Very cool! Almost the same schedule as we have!

I honestly have no for sure knowledge of who makes the amsoil filters. I thought I read somewhere that Baldwin had made some of their line but not sure which ones. Amsoil filters are the only ones rated to protect for 25000 miles. To back that kind of warranty it can't be like fram type of bad. But if I wasn't using Amsoil I would definitely be using factory filters

I appreciate the support and input! Thank you!

Champion labs makes both the AC Delco and the Amsoil filter. If you like pissing money away, then get Amsoil filters. Or spend $2.03 and get the Champ from Rock Auto. Part Number: PH10063 Champion Labs makes OEM Motorcraft, OEM GM on some applications, AC, Valvoline, AutoZone, and the Mobil 1 filter.

Nothing to see here. Just another so called "expert". 😂
