you are the next chris fix, just changed my daughters traverse for first time, i have been changing oil for sixty years and this traverse is the number one pill to do. you explained to a tee every headache. thanks young man you are a great teacher ! I wish others who make videos could explain as you do. THANKS AGAIN, ED IN NC
GM tested that Oil Life function and it was really accurate. What they did was to lab test the oil once the life expectancy ran out. The computer looks at the driving habits and conditions such things and taking off without warming up the car and city vs highway miles and stop and go.
In my case I do almost all city driving. So my oil life expectancy ends really fast often btwn 1500 and 2000 miles. I imagine if I was doing almost all highway miles I would see it run out at 5k miles. On my previous cars my mechanic would want me to change oil every 3k miles. I would say that right about now GM is correct in that I should change it much sooner.
I am retired so I only drive 5k miles per year. Two or three oil changes for me per year ...
Thank you for the insight
I super appreciate your video. You’re very thorough, you annunciate so nicely, and speak with a nice easy tone. So many others mumble and speak so fast it’s difficult to get through their videos that I just click them off. Thank you again so much for your tutelage. I’m off to change my oil and save some dough. 👍🏼
Very much appreciated. Thank you for the awesome comment. Good luck on your oil change you can do it
I have found your videos very helpful. Just bought a 2014 Traverse for my wife . Thank you.
We also have 14 Traverse. 84,000 when we got it. 95,000 now. Tips: change oil fully and often. 4,000 miles. Be diligent! Timing chains depends on it. Don't go by oil life reminder. Check oil often. Weekly. Don't over fill but keep at max on level surface.
great video you explain every smallest detail and i love it .
i've watched so many videos on how to do an oil change on my traverse and it was kind of hard to do it myself since i am a girl😁 but after i watched your video was so simple to do it because you just go into the smallest details thank you so much
One of the best videos for this task. Very well explained.
Thanks for the detailed video. Watching this video helped me a lot.
Filter was the hardest part took me like 30 mins of struggling to screw on. Smh
Great video/ always make sure the old oil filter seal comes off with the old oil filter. I have had this happen twice. The first time I did not catch it and it blowed oil out every where
Dude you saved me, that DIC on my Traverse was a challenge at first thank you so much for explaining that, you are a sweetheart😚💞
Try it with the filter gasket keeps falling off😂...brand new Delco filter
The gasket shouldn’t be falling off. It should be pretty well on there
Thanks I'm about to do my 2021 traverse first oil change
Great video! Made the oil change as simple as could be!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Dude you made it look so easy to put that filter back on I normally end up taking in cursive and that don't help matters lol
It is one of the worse I have done. I dread doing oil changes on the traverse just for the filter
I'm an A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) mechanic on the weekends and Attorney during the days however saying that I just changed the oil in my wife's 2016 Traverse and SCREW IT!!!! I'm taking it to a dealership and have them do it 😂😂😂😂😂
Av8tore71, that’s probably why the engineers designed it that way…so you’d HAVE to take it to the dealership. No thanks, it’s much easier working on my Honda.
Oil filter for me is the suckiest part ..
They can either be the easiest or the worst. If one gets too tight it makes the whole job looks a lot better at jiffy lube haha
Have you ever noticed your transmission flaring from 2nd to third?
Great vid! Lots of useful tips. You must have a small camera; that's the first time I ever saw the oil filter installed on the car.
Poorly designed oil filter location. I will avoid this model for this reason.
These filters suuuuuck to put on. Especially when it's 10 below
That drip is annoying from the stream initially hitting the support behind the oil pan. I solved that by using a funnel. I use a magnetic drain plug remover tool and hold the funnel up in place. After loosening the drain plug I put the magnetic remover on it, hold the funnel in place so the initial stream hits the back of the funnel and then direct it into the collection container. This way no drip to clean and no oil going where I do not want it to go. As the funnel is flexible I also use put it under the oil filter little spillway so when the filter is loosened and the oil drips down the tiny spillway it goes into the funnel and into the waste pan. (Funnel has an removable extension on it to make sure it goes where I want. I have also cut out the funnel a bit so it fits around and under the oil filter and I can still turn the filter.) Yes extra work but I like my engine to remain very clean as it makes it easier to spot potential leaks in the future.
Insanely detailed, love the videos. Get yourself a TV show. Ha!
Love the video -- makes even me feel like I could do this! Would you think the 2021 Traverse woupd likely have the same set up?
That is a good question. I haven’t been under a newer one. Hopefully they got it sorted out but doubtful as they never do and maintenance on their own vehicles
Thanks I help me olot
I can see that Ford and Chevrolet both have better ideas lol.
Good info but a bit dragged out... 17 minutes
Got to get all the juicy details in there
Use a piece of 🦆 tape with a down crease so it won’t run
Dexcol oil!!!
And hour 1/2 this time lol
20 minutes putting the Wix filter on. Grrrrrr this SUCKED
Av8tore71, that’s what I was afraid of.
