HOW TO CHANGE THE OIL IN A 2010-2014 V6 CAMARO 

Thanks for watching. Glad this video helped you out.

Unfortunately I don’t have much on this car except for general maintenance stuff. This was the wife’s daily driver so it didn’t get all the performance goods like the other cars on the channel.

I've never thought of that. She'd be pissed for sure!!!😅

JT you're just plain evil! 😅😅😅😅

you ain't the first person to say so lol.. You got a couple chevys to drive, so it would be unnecessary evil I suppose... BUT if all you had to drive was a Ford, shit there's no such thing as a low blow or a cheapshot to get back in a bowtie!

Brother these engines don’t hold any oil in the filter. 😉

@@BadLuckGarage Aha!! Thanks for that piece of info. Makes sense sitting vertical and all. Thanks for the video! Very informative. Wish I could put a pic on here. My lady got a turkey with hers. Looks like the car ate the bird, not just a strike!🤠😂😂👍

🤣🤣🤣👍

@@BadLuckGarage do these motors burn oil?

@@great4ever845 This one doesn’t

Zero difference. Just more noise.

doesn’t really make a difference to where u can notice it, but makes some nice noises while suctioning air!

Love hearing this!!!!!

Thank you! And I’m glad this video helped. 👍🏻

@@BadLuckGarage hey I have a question do you think I should get this problem fixed right away. Or what. My radio randomly turns on and off when I'm driving and my speakers puff on sometimes while I have my blinkers on. Can you give me a rough estimate on how much it might cost.

Qq

Glad to hear it helped!

Thank you for the compliment. Glad this video helped you out.

🤣👍

That’s why I make these videos! I hope you found it helpful!

Smart woman. No one treats your property like you do, and oftentimes, shops will just throw whatever is deemed universal for all vehicles in your car. I just recently bought my Camaro and was lazy due to cold, wet weather. So I took it to a shop to do a coolant flush. I specified that my car takes dex-cool coolant. When i got home , i noticed they put in a different color coolant. It was a pinkish orange. Which means they likely just drained the radiator and left the old red dexcool in the engine block. They mixed coolants and didn't flush sh*t. They later told me they used shop pro yellow universal coolant and that they don't carry Dex-cool. They assured me the universal mixes with all coolants. Im OCD and Chevy forums suggested getting that crap out immediately. I ended up doing the job myself. Flushed the system with distilled water until it drained out clear (5 flushes). I learned our cars hold half the coolant in the block and the other half in the radiator. The Block still had 100% distilled water in it, so I filled the radiator with dexcool concentrate. Ran a coolant test to ensure a 50/50 ratio, and it tested perfectly. It cost me over $100 less to do it the right way on my own, and I gained some knowledge, peace of mind, and tools out of it.

🤣👍

That would be “Ugga Dugga”.

Yeah duh lol

Quart noun 1. a unit of liquid capacity equal to a quarter of a gallon or two pints, equivalent in the US to approximately 0.94 liter and in Britain to approximately 1.13 liters. "two quarts of milk"

Glad to hear it!👍

Yu kno have to check and change the transmission fluid on these things ?? Currently needing help w that.

Unless you didn’t put oil back in I can’t see how these two events would be related.

@@BadLuckGarage oil is filled, so I have no clue what’s wrong

Thanks!

Derek I had done an entire write up of the build of the truck with pics on the 67-72 chevy truck forum but several years ago photobucket did away with free picture hosting and I lost it all. The bed of the truck is now loaded with bodyparts for the new owner so it would require unloading everything and pulling the floor out to get new pics. But its very simple and you can actually see it all in several of the older videos. Its just a blazer tank with the filler running out the side in the gap between where the frame dips down and the bottom of the bed. There is a perfect amount of space there to run it. Then we grafted a flush mount fuel cap setup made for a motorcycle tank into the back of the passenger side fender about half way up and there you have it.

Yes, it makes it louder, gives it an annoying whistle at part throttle cruising, and constantly triggers a check engine light. If that’s what you’re after I highly recommend it. Lol

@@BadLuckGarage Thanks man you saved me some cash. I would buy u a beer for that. I bought their performance filter to replace the stock.

6 quarts

Lay down a couple 2x4s and drive the front wheels up on them. It may give you enough clearance to get your jack under it.

@@BadLuckGarage thankyou

Never hurts to double check.👍 But the oil will immediately drain from this top mount filter setup as soon as you shut off the engine so it will have no bearing on how the oil level reads. Its not like a bottom mount filter where it fills up and holds half a quart. 😉

OK , so I am hearing , the oil in the filter drains back into the oil pan , when you shut off the engine ? When reading on an oil forum , there is a lot of talk about anti-drain-back valves on spin on filters . Do the cartrage filters not have anti-drain-back ? I am interested , because we have a Chevy Sonic that uses cartrage filters . Thanks , :-) Wyr God bless

Is that the 3.8l V-6 ? Thanks , :-) Wyr God bless

If you watch the video you will see it’s a straight through filter open on both sides and there is no standing oil when I remove it. (After having just driven it ten minutes earlier). Also this is a 2011 Camaro, so it’s the 3.6. 👍🏻

Just use what’s recommended by the manufacturer. There’s usually a chart in your owners manual that will recommend changing depending on extreme temperatures.

The lines on your dipstick aren’t exact, but it should be pretty close to that.

You can continue to use the factory recommended oil for the life of your care if you wish. I personally use Mobile 1 full synthetic high mileage after a vehicle gets around 70,000+ miles.

Because something is wrong now that wasn’t never wrong before.

@@BadLuckGarage it wasn’t on before the oil change only after does it mean i caused it during the oil change or it triggered something or ?

@@ratchetrach3763 possibly you accidentally unplugged something or pulled a connector loose. Simply changing the oil isn’t going to cause a check engine light.

No, you should put in oil until it shows full on the dipstick. But you can start with however much you want.

Use your dipstick Jimmy.

Her next Camaro will be a v8 for sure. 😉

@@BadLuckGarage v8's are nice but just use more gas lol most women dont care lol

That would have been a funny video. Today we're doing an oil change on this V6 camaro....because we're LS swapping in a V8 and it's got different oil in it.

Company vehicle but that was a year ago. It’s gotten worse now and they have us driving Ford F-150s. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Yea jackstands are super dangerous. Lol

Lol, yes, oil changes usually are. This video was kind of an inside joke.
