never had anyone in my life show me how to do this. After this video, I know what to do. And I can show my son. Thank you. EDIT: We did it ourselves finally, three days ago!
Glad to hear that!
I have a 2023 2SS A10 6.2L. My manual recommends Mobil1. 0w40 full synth with DexosR. You may only use 5w30 Dexos2 if you can’t get the other and it warns only as a short term remedy until you can get the proper oil with DexosR. You can usually order it through your local parts store. Or online. I get mine from American Muscle online and with a filter and 12 quarts it runs about 155.00 with shipping. I change my oil every 4000 mile or 3 months. My Camaro likes to show her ass to everything else that’s stock and naturally aspirated.
Helpful video, Thanks for posting.
Nice video, I have a 22 SS 1LE M6 Black and will be changing the oil this spring.
Thank you ! This is really helpful
Saving me the labor costs and fee's at a dealer/shop, thank you dude.
Glad to help
Thanks for sharing.👍
Wanna learn about cars bc I’m 17 and was never really taught how to do stuff like this. Thanks bro
Appreciate the video. It couldn't get any more clearer ... very helpful!
Glad it helped!
great vid 💪🏾
Just bought a nitro yellow ss 6 speed.
Thanks for the video.
Enjoy it. Thank you
Excellent vid, very thorough, like that you took the time to explain everything that is needed including wrench size etc. before getting into the actual job. I have heard oil drain plug torque is 18-ft.-lbs. seems a little low but that's what I heard 👍🏽
18 ft lbs sounds about right.
Good job mentioning the lift pads.👍
Thanks for the video very helpful!
Took my car to dealer and I slightly mark my oil filter and I checked it after I picked it up and found out they used the same one
Better to DYI !
As a mechanic, I will tell you not to trust mechanics with your car.
Lol! That’s truth! Thanks for sharing videos ! I owned a 2023 Camaro SS I’ll stay tuned for more of your videos buddy!
Nice video bro. Been a scatpack and hellcat owner and just switched over to a SS yesterday. I’m used to 7 quart oil changes. I couldn’t believe these things hold 10! Glad I came across ur video!
Bolt on ss on e85 should have no problem beating hellcats
Me too as well
@@Saldalaperformancewhat are good bolt on’s to start with for more power I have 2022 10’speed SS
E85 is the cheapest bang for the buck. Combined with headers, and you can have a mean car for less than $1500 depending on what brand of parts you go with.
@@Saldalaperformance what brands do u recommend on getting and thankyou im definitely going do that first then
Nice vid! Coincidently I changed my cars oil today. I let it get to 6%. Went with 5-30 dexos, since that’s what my manual asks for. Mine is 2017. Also I use regular ramps with 2*8 boards to clear the splitter. Definitely ghetto but it works!
Whatever gets the job done. Ramps definitely makes lifting convenient.
Thats a great idea on the 2X8 boards.
@@Blakehenry11 yep. For these tires 2 x 10 would be better, but 2 x 8 works fine.
5w-30 call it a day! People really overthink oil viscosity
@@chakman1125 I think the only reason GM lists 5-40on the new cars is because they are tracked so much.
Overall a great Video. The only thing to add is to ALWAYS check that the old Oil Filter O-Ring is actually on the old Oil filter. Every so often these O-rings get stuck on the Rim and if you don't see it and install the new Filter over it, you will have a huge mess on your hands since it will not seal!
Great tip!
Two Jack's makes this much easier. Supercar only goes in my engine though.
Good video. All common sense stuff. So stock camshaft and phaser? Sounds great. No catch can? Is that intake mani ported? And is that Clavo the Viper specialists?
I have a catch can, it’s on the driver side of the engine bay. And the intake manifold and throttle body is not ported, just aftermarket. No, this is a different Calvo.
❤
I got headers with no cats. I can’t use the GM recommended esp formula one shown in the video? I just don’t wanna mess up engine I’m new to this car stuff idk much just trynna learn 🤦🏻♂️😂
Yeah you can use the GM recommended fluid but it’s more expensive. I personally use 15-50 only from mobile one.
Hey bud. Question. Can you use ramps instead of a jack for this job? (I don’t own a Camaro).
Yeah, just make sure the lip isn't hit. on the 1le or zl1 models, you'll have a slightly lower profile.
I bought my Camaro SS in December, it already needs the oil change in this moment, my question is can I do it in another workshop or myself, or do I necessarily need to take it to the dealership to maintain the warranty?
No, you can do anything from home as long as you have the tools and equipment. Oil change requires the most basic set of tools. Personally, I do the grand majority of the work myself.
I use the Mobil 1 Supercar 0-W40 dexos it's not the ESP or what your using its a 2022 SS it's w.what is re.commended by GM $168 for 2-6 packs at O'Reilly.
The esp formula / dexos 2 product is for the cats. If you don’t run cats on your car, then you can run the oil of your choice.
Any damage to pinch welds from jack *stands*?
Not from my experience.
Curious if torque ranch is needed when tightening the drain plug?
I would say it’s recommended but not needed. I’ve done many oil changes and already have the “feel” for the okay amount of tightness. But refer to the manual if you want to play it safe.
it’s only needs torqued to 18 ft lbs so a torque wrench isn’t necessary but like he said above it’s recommended.
How often do you change your oil with it now running e-85
I don’t drive the car often, maybe 5000 miles a year or less. And I’ve changed the oil 3 times in that distance. So I believe I am good with that for my situation. For a daily driver, a maximum of 3000 miles between oil changes regardless of oil choice on e85. IMO
I run redline on my l83 tahoe and it maDe the motor quiet
Was it a thicker oil?
I do my own oil changes on my Camaro bc they be tryna charge $100💀 when it’s very easy
9.57? Have you compared it to any other fbo cam cars not trying to sound like a hater. I’m a stick 6th gen intake and e ONLY doing a 5.2 60-130
My car just dynoed 490whp 496 wtq . When I did the 9.3 60-130 I was spinning 2nd and on the 2-3 shift. When I attempted it again on the drag radials, my ethanol content was low. I should be in the low to mid 8s.
Idk how you have a 5.2. Sounds like you didn’t time that right.
@@Saldalaperformance stock was in the 10s id hope I dropped some time lol all runs was valid from draggy
Why did you use 0w40 instead of 5w30 ?
A few points: 1) LT1 equipped Camaros I think after a certain year, before 2019, had all their oil caps changed from 5w30 to 0w40. 2) the manual says you can use 5w30 if not being driven aggressively. But if you’re tracking the car to use 0w40. 3) some track guys are using even heavier oil due to increased track temps. I believe they are using 50 weight oil.
Is this oil fine for my stock SS ?
0-40 is the recommended weight for a street car.
So im the only one whos scared to get under the car bcz i dont know if my jack stands and jack will hold the weight of my camaro😭🤣
I trust Harbour freight jack stands with my life 🫶🏼😂
@@SaldalaperformanceOh lord😭
Should have just punched a hole in the bottom of the old oil filter. A lot less messy

@Saldalaperformance why did you change the rods? Is it true that Chevy has problems with them?
@@Ghost-zt8gesorry didn’t see this message earlier. I had a bent one when I heard a tick. But the noise ended up being a faulty exhaust manifold gasket.
Much easier to just drive the car up on ramps no ?
You could if you have them. I personally don’t have them. I heard of a brand called “race ramps” that are supposedly pretty good.
@@Saldalaperformance - spot on. I use Race Ramps after I bought (very recent - Oct) my SS and they work perfectly. The "rubber" front deflectors bend just a bit and it's up and ready. AND - thank you for this video - super helpful for me as I get into the swing of things with this car!
I have a 2018 2SS. What would you recommend if the oil change display comes back on after only a couple of hundred miles since the last oil change?
Either there is an adjustment to the oil change interval. Yours might be set too low.
@Saldalaperformance Thank you for responding. I was told it could be a faulty thermostat. I went ahead and reset the oil life again, and if the change oil warning comes back on again before it should or the car starts overheating, then I'll go ahead and change the thermostat.
Wanna learn about cars bc I’m 17 and was never really taught how to do stuff like this. Thanks bro
Happy to help!
