I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado with 329800 miles on it and it is all original 5.3
I have an 05 Tahoe with a 4.8, all of these videos are super useful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
@@MattsShopHello I own a Chevrolet express 6.0 LQ4 with 90,000 miles, I live in France in a region where the climate is temperate, I do 6000 miles per year, I mainly drive in summer at 100°F, and I tow constantly a 6000 lbs trailer, should I stick to the oil recommended by the manufacturer 5W30 or can I use a 5W40 which is supposed to resist heat better?
Transmission dip stick. Make/scribe your own mark to use when engine cold and off. 285k on mine and always correlates exactly to the manual explained way of checking it after its hot and being at the top hash marks. Gives you ability to check whenever you want
I just got a 99 5.3 and i love the truck definitely useful videos 👌
Thanks man. Love the GMT800 trucks
Every engine leaks. There isn't a single engine from any manufacturer that doesn't eventually leak.
If it leaks oil its got oil.
@@MattsShop For now at least.
If theres no oil under it then there aint none in it 😂😂😂@MattsShop

Thanks for the sub!!
Hey Matt, right on the nipple where the wire clicks on to the coil pack. One of mine has a crack like right on the plastic. Somebody broke a chip out of it. It's still clicks perfectly fine, but do you think that could affect it? Should I replace the coil? It seems like it's running out right? I threw a zip tie around that one too for extra love
... Whoever did it shoved a bunch of dielectric in there to try to prevent corrosion or moisture getting in I guess or arc getting out
thanks for the video and the oil filter number. in a pinch, an oil filter for a 2014 Chevy Impala will work.
You're welcome. The longer WIX filter doesn't come up at most parts stores.
You have to pull the engine, or drop the front differential to take the oil pan off. It's easier to pull the engine, it makes everything easier to get to. It's an all day job, or 2 or 3.
I'd change the timing chain & gear, if your engine has high milage. Mobile 1 ... 10 W 30 is the way to go. Use AC Delco parts when you can.
I agree, it is a major pain. Much easier on 2WD trucks. A real pain to do on 4x4s. I agree. Use OEM parts whenever possible.
The pedal thing was so cool
Owner since new of a 99' Silverado LT, 5.3 liter, 4x4. 200+k miles.
Can not complain on the engine at all.
Still runs well with general prescribed maintenance. Best part of the truck. Well done Gm! However, it does have assorted oil leaks. Miracle, lucky for those that do not. Short of seal replacements, within ease, all are original, but reality is they usually fail with age. All rejuvinator additives, in my case maybe slow the drips down. My question, if you could estimate your hours, or a shops/mechanics time on replacing all the seals as you have done on the Avalanche, what would estimate, realistically, not "repair book" shop hours, on realistic time for replacement as you have done on the Avalanche?
hey, good video. i just did a head rebuild after a head gasket going bad. After putting it all back together with new gaskets, I noticed it has a high idle around 900 RPM.. I replaced the idle sensor,02 sensors, purge valve solenoid, and I couldn't fix the problem, so I took the intake back off just now. I have the teal color gaskets that you showed in the video. I do notice some fresh oil in the intake, what would cause oil getting into the intake manifold? i'm getting p0174, p0507, and p0171.
I would replace the valve covers. It’s causing oil to go up the pcv vacuum and into the intake. At least that’s what mine was doing.
@@Kenichi_one Update- It was oreillys bullshit housebrand pcv valve. I got a oem one from chevy for $8 and back to normal idle.
Your my hero
You're my hero
What about the gasket on the plate that goes were a oil cooler would mount if it comes with 1
They all leak there
Yes they can leak there a lot too.
Will that longer filter work for an 07 classic 4.8?……mine uses a PF48 not the PF46, GM changed the thread size at some point.
It should work on a 2007 classic. I've used it on this 2006 4.8 classic for years. It's the same. If it threads on it'll work!
Yes, you can use an AC Delco PF61 or Mobile M205A filter, the Mobile is slightly larger in diameter, which makes it harder to put on. Always use Mobile 1 oil in your engine.
How much oil is between min to max on the dipstick here in Germany it’s about 1L so if you are on MIN mark we fill 1L in
946mL so about 1L from min to max.
If you live in the rust belt and it's not a big leak like half a quart in a oil change you benefit from the coating under the vehicle.I run a 2002 lesabre from the Poconos to Morris County New Jersey 4 days a week that 3800 series 2 has a little drip but the whole underside of that car has no rust at 190000 miles,I change my oil myself usually every 4 to 45 hundred miles.
i mean if you have a oil leak that just means no oil changes are needed bc the oil sweat allows you to add new oil
Exactly, always fresh oil lol
Mine used to leak... so I fixed it.. now it doesn't leak! Mine used to have low oil pressure... cam bearing fixed that. Mine used to burn oil... I found my oil wiper rings on my pistons were stuck. After freeing them... it quit burning oil. I've reused my original intake gaskets everytime I've removed the intake. Wix filters suck almost as bad as K&N filters.
It has been my experience that the oil life will not reset if there isn't enough light to keep the automatic headlights off. Being an after hours mechanic, I have used a flashlight on that dash mounted light sensor many times to reset the oil life indicator. Has anyone else noticed this?
Did you say you wait a year for iil change? If so your crazy. Thats just aaking for slidge build uo
I changed my oil pump pick up o-ring by just going through the front and removing the oil pump.
Not EASY but easier than pulling the pan on a 4wd.
Yea, that's a pretty rough job. Sounds easier than dropping the pan on a 4x4 though.
Oh man, I have a 4wd and I don’t want to have to do it 😢
It's not bad until you have to actually do the oil pump to pick up bolt, there's only one.
My 2006 5.3l with 165k on it burns or leaks about a quart every 3000 miles. On mine if it has barely any oil in the dipstick and I add a quart it will take it to full mark. I basically run it for 3k miles, add a quart, and then run it until it gets low again and do a change. Equates to about 6-7k mile oil change interval.
Sounds about right. If they get that low. I normally change the oil. If it's at the bottom of the crosshatch I normally add a quart of oil and it brings it up to the top of the crosshatch.
Where are you? My newly aquired 05 may need you 😅
Could you please post some 4200 videos.
I don't have one to work on!
I have a 2004 Chevy silverado extended cab LS 4.8L when I try to pass I have my gas Pedal to the Floor and it doesn't pick up speed can you help and let know what I can fix thanks
Clean your throttle body and maf sensor
My oil pressure moves up and down like very very little at idle but it never gets low just weird lol 😂 but I never get worried about it. I rebuilt my 5.3 with a performance engine kit off summit and after 3 years no leaks. But these engines do burn oil I’m at 3,000 miles since my last oil change and it burns about a quart every 3500 so it’s not bad just make sure you guys always check your oil levels every week or twice a week even without leaks keep changing your oil every 3,000 to 3500 miles
Yes, they use a lot of oil. The updated valve cover is supposed to help with that issue, but a lot of guys don't know about that fix.
2000 Sierra 5.3, and the driveway is as clean as it was when poured. No leaks for me!
What weight oil do you use?
@@MattsShop 5/30 Amzoil. I bought the truck at one year old and actually had it parked for years. Squirrels kept staging attacks on my wiring harness. I moved and fixed all those things that suck on a old truck, including brake and fuel lines. Been parked on clean concrete for about 5 years now with just over 100 grand on the odometer. Looks and runs really sweet for a rustbelt truck. I don't drive her with any salt on the roads anymore. Have a good one!
Oh good to know
Yea!!
Is it same on my 85 nissan 720 kingcab
Same idea. General areas to check.
How much does it cost to regasket valve covers and engine block ? Any answers?
Probably fking 4 or 5k with how shut is nowadays
Wow really? I just did the head gaskets and valve covers and intake gaskets, spark plugs and wires, deactivating cylinder solenoid replacement, exhaust manifold gasket replacement, on my 07 tahoe. Took me 2 weeks and had never done it before but it was all worth it it runs great. All from youtube tutorials. I spent abouy $700 on parts
Man I got a 2002 GMC Sierra it's been leaking oil since I got in 2020 I probably shouldn't just let it ride but I don't even know where to start with it!
I use high mileage full synthetic oils, I started using it at 120.000 miles and no leaks, using regular oil leaks
What if my trucks got crazy high oil pressure
The pressure sensor or the gauge is probably wrong/bad.
Vortex is good..... I've had two...... never leaks anything.....5.3.....4.8....gmc ..and Chevy Silverado
Oh helll ya mat how ya been man
Hey, what's up?
In my 5.3 I always put 6 quarts of oil I do 5 quarts of 10W-40 and the last quarter I put is Lucas oil stabilizer been doing that all my life and my truck has 400,000 and it's cammed runs like a champ catch me on I-10 doing a 100-120 every weekend no problem
Add a can of restore along with the lucas
Me too Lucas vital 300,000 on 01
400k ain't nothing for an ls based motor.
I've had many 500,000kms+ 6.0, 5.7, 6.2, 8.1
Absolutely amazing engines, I use mobile 1 full syn with a mobile 1 filter or wix.
The mobile 1 full syn stays cleaner longer and definitely will clean up oil passages.
@@youtubechampion9377Woah that's a lot of miles!
Oil cooler line on LQ4
I know, I forgot the oil cooler block off plate.
What happens if you put about a quart too much oil in the engine?
Time paradox, the universe will implode
I use Castrol GTX high mileage synthetic blend. Save a few bucks. But my 6th qt is always full synthetic! 6 qts everytime. No leaks on my garage floor or anywhere else that i see. Make my own syn blend percentage.
Does the high milage help? I've been using it on some trucks.
I think so. Truck has never failed an emissions test nor have I had any oil related problems. No ticking or oil pressure issues. Oil still looks ok on dipstick at 5k miles oil changes.
Mine has dimples instead of holes.
Really? The ones I always see have holes.
2010 Chevy Silverado 1500.
But burning oil happen or not¿
Well it is Cracked Head Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time
Lol creative!
If you lived closer you would be my main person and i would pay like a slot machine
Sounds great to me 🤣
What doesnt leak tell me that
Hopefully nothing leaks.
Each hole is 1 quart on 5.3
2011 4.8. Over 120k not a single leak
Never go over 5.000 on a fully synthetic oil..
That's how you know it's a Chevy.
Avalanches there good looking trucks till they lose all those accent plastic pieces or start rusting then they just look like all the other rust buckets,sorry man not a fan,you can have them all!!!one mans beauty is anothers mans horror!!snooky pa😊😊
I know what you mean. I haven't had any problems with the plastic pieces falling off. They don't look good once the plastic turns from black to gray.
Are these engines gas hogs and oil hogs?
My 4.3 didn’t
What oil did you use?
@@MattsShop Castrol 5w30 full synthetic
I've never really had an leaky ls. They have o-ringed gaskets. usually when they start pissing its from excessive crankcase pressure. Usually bad pcv valve or blow-by. You can add more crankcase ventilation that helps alot. But there's an old school racer trick I had to see it to believe it. Do a couple quick getto fog revs with some NOS that cold charge can some time's help revive tired ring's.
But even the mighty toyota or honda can avoid this.
I know right. It seems like they all leak!
a 2020 Honda Ridgeline using Mobil 1 STAYS at full mark from 1 oil change to the next!
a 2019 Passport with 47,000 miles and an unknown oil change history, I have only done 2 oil changes so will keep check on the oil level and see. yes, i also have a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD that LOVES oil.
Every ford engine leaks power
Bs no leaks 200000 miles
Really? There's no way. Did you do a lot of towing/off-road at all?
That truck don’t hold 6 quarts do you even know what your doing
It does. Says it right in the manual.
Nope your right boss
