VE / VF Commodore V6 Oil Change - LLT / LFX / LY7 - AutoInstruct 

Good Shit. This is the type of content we all need

Thanks for putting up this video. I had a VX previously for which it was really easy to change the oil and filter. I just bought a VF and really had no idea where the filter nor sump plug were..... your video helps a lot. Thanks again.

Legend thanks mate, came from a vt to ve and was excited that they moved where the oil filter was no more pain

This video saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you so much!

Thanks a million mate, awesome instructions super easy to follow great camera work too. 👍 🇦🇺

Just did my oil change on my VE SV6 Great guide, thanks for your help.

I literally just payed $280 to get my vf serviced.... might just do it myself from now on

Thank you so much for putting this on RU-vid.

Brilliant!! Thankyou for your content contribution. Much appreciated. Keep it simple. Perfect.

Very informative. Keeping it simple and easy to follow. Cheers mate!

Thanks for uploading your video.It was clear and relaxed so easy to understand.

Good video mate, but? Before you or anyone starts an oil change, they first need add some engine flush, then run the car for 30-60 minutes before you/they drain the engine oil. You also left out how to reset the "Service" due warning indication on the dash. After you finish the service you should Reset the Service Warning on the dash before you take it for a test drive. Hope this helps.

I have a question: My Commodore SV6 VF, I replaced the oil using Nulon Dexos and Ryco oil filter twelve months ago. In that time I have done less than 5000Km. When should I replace the oil? Should I do it because twelve months have passed in spite of low year kilometers? Or should I wait until the car has done more kilometers, and if so, how many? Very interested in comments.

got my 13mm 15mm 24mm thank you took me no time thanks to this video

You should always remove oil cartridge first allowing the vacuum to drain oil from filter housing...

Great video. I needed to know what size sockets too use and you sorted me out. Thanks.

Very helpful video, thank you, keep up the good work

Thanks for you video, very helpful 👍

You seem to do a better job than Holden dose got my Ve thunder back from my capped servicing and a week later no oil in it Holden says it must be my car leaking. As I am a mechanic and know it's not leaking but what hp or kw u get with ur intake and exhaust? Getting mine dynoed next week

Thank you, a very different filter and location compared to my vk commodore

Useful video, quick, clear and precise, thank you. Have just changed the oil filter following this vid

Very helpful video. Well done 😊

Thanks bro Do you find the Grella the works extra power!!?? of been looking at buying one not sure due to y

Replacing that o ring is a must just leaving it is welcoming trouble

Wait for the car to COOL DOWN. What are you serious? Everyone does it hot to help it flow out better. And usually not jacked up. I use a pothole to get under vehicles 9 months of the year and suck it up and do it on concrete during winter. Btw haven't you heard of holding the oil side on to stop glugging??

Do you really need to put the cover with the 6 bolts? It would make it quicker next time to leave it off. Any thoughts?

very good! thx mate!! I have a SV6 ..

I recommend that you buy filter with replacement o ring and replace blue o ring on cap

So once you have done the oil and filter change, how do you delete the flashing service from the dashboard?

You are so nice I think I'd even let you do my truck's oil.

Hi mate, just wondering do you know what the oil filter is made? By holden? Made in USA? Cheers

What trolley jack you using mate

Tip... turn the oil container 90 degrees and pour. No glugs easy pour. Lot less mess

Perfect information bro thanks very much . 👍

Thank you very much for this video. Very helpful!

Great video mate! 10/10.

What length breaker bar are you using?

I’m now a certified RU-vid mechanic

ok I think you forgot to mention that you should have the car on stands not supported by a jack only you should have on gloves on and the oil filter comes with a new o ring that should always be used

Hot Oil drains better and removes all containments. Yes it can burn. Never needed a breaker bar, doing so just overtightens on its that only need a 'nip' to tighten. Also suggest a MAGNET stuck on the pan near the sump plug to hold fine particles.

Can I ask why you only put 6.5 litres in when my book states 7 litres (VF SV6 LFX)

are these VE model specific? would the same process occur for the 8 cylinder VE's or different?

@AutoInstruct does it help to drain the oil by facing the front end toward a downward incline?

Turn your oil container 180degs and it will pour much better, no glug.

What about priming the filter?

Thanks Champ!! 💯

Can u use 15w 40? For v6 vf commodore

Turn the oil jug sideways to avoid the glug.

Fuckn looks clean as man👌 wouldn't look like that now but cob haha

How can i tell if my car is synth or mineral

5w30 dex2 ok for vf 2013?

with the oil filter you used it does come with a o-ring

Castrol edge 5w30 be fine?

Thankyou

Bloody beautiful Aussie cheers for that

Thank you mate

Nice video thanks

DRAINING OIL WHILE ON THE JACK....MMMM MIGHT STILL HAVE A LITRE OF NASTY OIL STILL IN THE SUMP.... DROP IT OFF THE JACK & STANDS TILL IT STOPS DRAINING...IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES MORE... BUT IF YOU DO A JOB... DO IT RIGHT.... HOPE IT HAS BEEN HELPFUL...

can you do transmission fluid change plz~~

Thanks for very good

Replace o rings both

Thankyou 👍

So much for instruction. No new O ring on filter cap. The filter doesn't fill up like a spin on does. No mention of frequency, which should be every 5,000 klm. As good as Nulon is, Penrite is best. Retired mechanic.

U really trust that jack

Thank you

Any one have vf evoke transmission sarvice video???

nice very gud

Use Penrite, not Nulon 👍

Umm

Crap kept buffering

How embarrasing its a 6 !!
