- This video tutorial will walk you through how to change the oil on a 2019, 2020, or 2021 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra. My truck has the 5.3L V-8 with Dynamic Fuel Management. Everything should be the same with the 6.2L V-8 with DFM, but if you have 4Cylinder turbo, a V6, or a V8 with Active Fuel Management, your oil quantities and weights may be different. Below are some useful links related to this video. Thanks for watching, Please comment, like, and subscribe to help support the channel!

Filter Wrenches: I actually recommend you buy these at the auto parts store where you buy your oil and filter. They come in a lot of different sizes and its a good opportunity to check for fit since you have the filter right there. A high quality strap style wrench is a good investment.

So nice to watch a video where someone is not screaming, yelling. Well spoken, to the point. Thank you.
What videos are you watching?? lol
Agreed
@@ej6107 Scotty Kilmer probably lol but I love that guy 😅
I still change my oil at 3,000 miles, oil and filter is the secret to longevity on your motor, after all you never hear of a motor going bad with to many oil changes. I enjoyed your detail video. Thank you..
Slide our shop tables together, Sand them down with a floor sander,,, They will make the room look so nice
Very thorough explanation!!!
Do mine myself now to since my dealer charged me $109 last time for a oil change. I bought everything myself for $62 at my local parts store and 20 mins I done it myself. My dealer is an hour away and since covid they only do oil changes during the week. So with lost time from work and gas to get there I was upwards of $200 for an oil change. I service everything else myself so figured save some cash and do it myself. I took step ny step pics with time stamps for the warranty incase a claim ever arises.
I recommend going to Walmart for oil, you’ll find the same brand for less money
Exactly what I did underrated not to mention if you know someone with an employee discount card.
Even with full syn i do my oil changes every 3k. On 2016 harley and 2022 SIlverado. Its somewhat relaxing for me
GREAT Post. Very informative for any owner of such a vehicle. I appreciate you taking the time to film, edit and post this information.
Thanks for the video. I did all my oil changes on my 1990 Scottsdale and have been lazy since owning a Tahoe. Now that I have a new Silverado I’m going to DIY it again.
Happy to help!
Torque spec is 18 lbs for sure. All full synthetic oils will get dark fast this is normal and expected. Dark syn oil is not a indication of it being dirty or old. Detergents in the oil are activated with heat and turn dark. Dark syn oil just means it is doing its job.
Hey I changed my oil on my 2019 1500 Silverado. From your video I saved money. I had no idea of a bundle. I asked and the directed me to a great deal. I got a premium filter 5 quarts of Mobil 1 with a 7 quart oil pan and funnel at Autozone for $34.00 I appreciate your video even more. Thanks.
Excellent Video, Very Articulate ! It just can't be done any better. Pointing out all the tools needed and oil viscosity is a very good idea for the owner of these model trucks. I have a 22 Sierra and I change my oil just as you did in the video. Thanks for a job well done!
Very good video! Same make and model. I was needing to change my oil and see how easy this will be. Thank you!
In the manual that came with my 2020 silverado 2500HD 6.6L V8
NOTE THE EXTRA TEXT "AND 6.6L V8 ENGINES" THAT'S NOT IN THE MANUAL IN THIS VID.
"Viscosity Grade: Use SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade engine oil for the 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines. Use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine oil for the 2.7L L4, 4.3L V6 and 6.6L V8 engines."
I live in Texas so its get cold(if you can call it that if you're from the North) during Jan-Feb, and with the exception of a freeze that comes every now and then, it's HELL out here so I would never need 0Winter. So Chevy has added the 6.6L V8 to the SAE 5W-30 list.
Awesome video...I'm only about 12-miles South of you in White Bear Lake. :-)
Just purchased a 2020 Silverado RST Crew with the 5.3L DFM and do all my own maintenance and appreciate knowing ahead of time what is required for maintenance.
Loving the truck so far.
Thanks.
Outstanding video. Keep up the great work.
Good video. My next mod is installing fog lights to my LT. I just installed red tow hooks so I hope the fog lights will give it a more aggressive look. Keep up the good work buddy
Hi, great video and good information. I have always been a do it yourselfer when it comes to vehicle maintenance . The main advantage is you can let the oil drip for as long as possible and get that extra little bit out. You will not get that at any oil change facility . The one thing I don't like is old oil remains in the cooler, I wish there was an easy way to flush it out without having to buy double the oil. The only difference with my 2020 Sierra is I don't need to put it on ramps, I can slide right under even with my beer belly.... Cheers
Great job on the video. I've been changing my own oil for about 50 years and do exactly as you do this. Thanks
You’re welcome. Old school is the way to go. 😁
Great video! Informative and to the point.
Great video, I know a lot of people have stated that for 60 bucks let the dealership do it. I never take my vehicles to the dealership to do it. It is not worth the wait time nor the peace of mind that is done right. Most dealerships never have their "A" techs do oil changes. They use the less experienced Lube techs to do the oil changes. I have heard of too many stories of the dealership not doing it correctly. I know when it is done that everything is tight and filled correctly. Also, i can use the oil and filter i want in the truck. I keep very accurate records of the oil changes in a log book in the truck. Thanks for the Video. I always look online for videos like this.
Great video! Perfect content, well illustrated, narrated and edited... I’m thinking about a CZcams channel. Videos like this show me the proper way to present my content for viewing quality... Outstanding job
Really nice video. If you are fortunate to be a Costco member, full synthetic dexos oil is at about $4.00 a quart (up a dollar or so over the last year and sometimes free shipping) and NAPA filters are made by Wix (just an FYI), so before any promotions, cost will be around $45. for me. I prefer the Wix (various retailers, including Rock Auto if shipping is reasonable) or Wix made filters and I watch for the occasional sale price. Be certain to not buy the 5,000 mile rated oil filter, buy only filters designed for synthetic oils. I also use jack stands when using the drive-on ramp- seems like just an added peace-of-mind habit for me. As far as dark oil, it's supposed to get dark after normal use. Changing oil at longer intervals is a plus considering the cost and quantity of quarts needed in newer vehicles. Vehicle use and driving conditions are always a prime criteria, naturally; short interval oil changes are a total waste of money, IMHO. Cheers.
Awesome video very thorough.
Thank You, I will be doing this myself rather than take it to the dealer. I paid extra during my purchase for the dealer to do my oil changes, but I'd rather do this myself as the last time they did it the oil didn't seem all that clean and full when i checked it shortly afterwards. I am not even sure they changed it. On all of my other vehicles I add some clean oil after it stops draining to flush the dirty oil left in the engine. You'd be surprised how much dirty oil id left inside before clean oil drains out.
Very good demonstration
My local gmc dealership quoted me $60 for an oil change plus tire rotation and multi point inspection, with a free car wash coupon for my 19
I hear ya,,, all a good deal except the free wash. Get your own quality soap, wax, etc. I used to let them wash my leased vehicles but now I do auto detailing I appreciate and understand the importance of proper car care. Their soaps and non delicate washing is 👎🏽
Good video man! 👍
Great video!!!
You are great. Thank you dude
Love doing my own work. Did a tire rotation today, would only have been $25 at the dealer but I too like to learn and do my own work. Because I don't have the ability to get all 4 wheels off the ground at once, I used the spare tire to start and learnt how to remove it as I had never actually done that before. It also, provided a good opportunity to check the spares tire pressure. Tpms relearn tool is $25 on amazon.
Those tires need to be rebalanced during a rotation though…and $25 for a rotate and balance isn’t that bad it will save you in the long run of uneven tire wear and possible mechanical wear to suspension parts by them being out of balance. I know some people will argue this but I did tires for 20 years passenger car and commercial tires trust me on this keeping a tire balanced goes a long way
I’m using in my opinion the best oil and more importantly the best oil filter. Where I live it was a hundred dollar oil change. I save over 50 bucks per oil change on one car. This car uses the same oil filter on another car I have, so I save on the oil filters in bulk on line. Buy oil on sales at local stores. Always have the next oil change for my cars in garage on the shelves.
Nice video thanks
Great video brother
Appreciate you taking the time to do the vid for all the newbies. I do my oil change basically this exact same way. I use Pennzoil 10w30 synthetic, have been for yrs with no issues. I fill the oil filter before installing......I have those same ramps too. Crazy how much oil these engines use. I also use Wix filters on mine. NEVER use Fram.
So you use an oil viscosity that's not recommended and I don't think is available in dexos 1 on an engine with lifter issues?
Filling that tiny little oil filter is a waste of time. But I do the same thing🤣
10w30 Pennzoil Synthetic is a Dexos oil, says so on the bottle.
Filling the oil filter may very well be a waste of time but as long as I am able I will always do it
Thank you!!!!
i have had several instances of a filter leaking if not tightened tighter than by hand , as far as the lengthy change intervals , after testing on my work truck with oil analysis , that changing oil at 12,000is still within the parameters of good oil quality , it bothered me a bit so i change oil filter half way between changes , and i have always used amsoil oil and wix or ac filters , my trucks get changed out at 200,000 mile plus and do not burn any oil when retired , tip , i do hurt diffs and am experimenting with that as well , trans seem great and service on gm specs
Really well done video. Looked this up because like you, was on my second oil change after the 1st free one, and after a $97 bill I decided to just go back to doing my own. After owning a 2012 and now having the 2021, am glad GM engineers got their stuff together enough to put the drain plug and filter in an accessible location and am going to do all my own from now on. Only feedback I'd give is to get chocks for your rear tires after getting your angle from the ramps. Unlikely the ebrake fails but redundancy is your friend and especially with you having younger kids who'll want you around for a long time👍
Thanks for the informative yet simple video. I have a White 2019 RST with 5.3. After my 2 years free service is up I will do my own oil changes.
Great video , Im excited for the new locations, my 09 was always a mess. on the floor after dripping on the beam. Three comments please,, Not only vehicle in park and using e brake but I always put a pair of tire blocks behind the back wheels. U never know. All I wear disposable gloves, not sure why you would get your hands covered with dirty oil. Lastly I let drip for as long as it takes. One oz of dirty oil darkens a gallon some what. I read else where in the comments that some oil stays in the oil cooler. Im going to have to read further as that wouldn't be good at all for the new oil . Cheers
Great video. If you purchase oil and filter at Walmart, you would actually save even more money. I own a 2020 Silverado. I always done oil services my self.
Walmart oil Isle is the most economical way to go
At Walmart your oil will be 48.00 + 7.00 for filter. Make sure your Valvoline meets the Chevy specifications listed in your manual. Also use A/C Delco filters until you get out of Warranty just to make sure if you do have a engine issue they won’t be able to deny your warranty claim for wrong filter. Nice job.
What kind of ramps are those?
I just bought my 2020 Trail Boss and I want to know what I need to look into purchasing so I can do any maintenance my self.
Great video, just a side note...the box from O'Reillys said high mileage on the valveoline oil box. Maybe that was just a box idk, but I run into the same thing at stores. I just get the regular full synthetic 0w-20 on new vehicles, I am unsure what high mileage differences are but at 5,796 I'm definitely not there yet.
Here for one answer. T45. Thanks
Great vid. Check out the Fumoto no-tool plugs. I've got one on my 2019 RST and it's a gem. A little skeptical at first, but it works great. Couple other brands out there too.
How about the transmission system oil. When to change as per the kilometers or depending on the weather. Thx
With my 2020 I have free oil changes up to 100k miles I believe it was part of the gap insurance package
An awesome great video thanks for sharing. Does this truck have a metal or plastic oil pan? The new Fords have plastic oil pans. For that reason, I am thinking about buying a new Chevy. Stay well & safe.
Can easily get 8k or 1 yr with these. As the owners manual indicates, change when the vehicle says, or once per yr whichever is first
Awesome video! What kind of cell phone mount is that? I’ve been looking for one to buy for my Trail Boss!
Here is an updated version for 2021. I love mine. It clamps by itself with a sensor and wirelessly charges. If you check out other videos on my channel I mention it in amazon reviews. amzn.to/3hsDBsu
From experience I have a couple of suggestions. It seems the oil drain plug has a rubber gasket or O-ring in a groove where it comes in contact with the oil pan. Also, the oil filler cap has a similar O-ring. I noticed a bit of extra torque was necessary to remove the drain plug and the oil filler cap was surprisingly tight. My advice would be to add a bit of oil to those O-rings before re-installing (similar to coating the oil filter gasket.) An after thought is that the drain plug O-ring should per replaced periodically, if not with every oil change; however, I did not research that prior to this edit.
Thank you very much for your update. What’s your mpg so far? I’m getting 17 to 19 mpg
I averaged 16.5 over the winter up here in Minnesota. I was also in 4 auto quite a bit of time as well, so I think we might be pretty close.
Good video. Did you use the ramps just to get under truck or do they help drain old oil to back of pan?
Thanks! It’s for getting under it but I’m sure it helps a bit.
Just did my 2019 Silverado 5.3 oil change and did not have to remove the shield.
Does it void your warranty if you do the oil change yourself? I heard some Honda dealers hold this against you coz they would have no records of you maintaining your vehicle that they know of.
Hey I just did mine today and am now concerned that there may have been a rubber washer on the bolt that I didn’t reinstall. I’m not sure if one was on when I removed it or if it’s still on now. Do you recall if your drain bolt had a washer?
Nope. Only small engines would have something like that.
They still haven't gotten it right with the filter. Horizontal is better than vertical, but what are ya gonna do?
I just bought a 21 silverado and I want to change my own oil. I never did before because I had a little car and could not get under it easily. Since I am switching from a full service shop to doing it myself are there other things I should be checking regularly when I do the oil changes? Like other fluids or air filters?
Making sure the levels are good for fluids. If everything is dry underneath that’s a good sign too. Checking the air filter is always a good idea. Driving conditions will have a big say in how often you replace that.
I successfully completed my first change, thanks to you! I appreciate you taking the time to teach me!
Gloves will help too
Not priming the oil filter is a msitake. The oil pump fills the filter before the engine gets any oil at all. I guess the real question becaome how long do you feel safe running your engine without oil.
process begins at 05:25. The beginning is helpful if you have never changed oil. If you have save yourself 5 minutes and start after 5 minutes. :-)
I took my chevy Silverado '20 to the dealer a couple of days ago for the 2nd scheduled maintenance (20,000km), they put entire 8 Liters which equals to 8.4 qt, and when I read the manual it says 7.6 liters (8.0 qt).
Sometimes I wonder if they are doing that on purpose...
Is yours past the dipstick full line, had the dealership do mine and oil is all the way to the wire
I have a question. I changed mine awhile ago and I had a shop due the rest of my fluids. But they said my oil still looked dark is there a reason why?
You don’t get 100% of the old oil out during a standard oil change, but with 8 quarts you’d think it would take a lot of residual oil to darken that much new oil. Did you think it looked dark? Maybe they were just trying to sell you an oil change?
@@TruckOwnership101 maybe ima double check again tomorrow. Because I was like I just changed it and nothing was coming out anymore
Do u need the dexo oil or just Valvoline synthetic good?
You’re looking for that dexos certification basically. Pretty sure most full synthetics have it.
Does nobody change the plug washer?
Curious is that a shop or business you were at, I just bought a new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and I'm trying to clear the garage out enough to park my truck in, when I was single I parked my GMC and the boat in my garage.
Sam Biscits I’m a high school shop teacher by day. You saw my classroom 😅.
@@TruckOwnership101 My high school auto shop teacher really inspired me, I graduated in 1970 and got a scholarship to a automotive training center, but got married and took a different career path. My shop teacher just recently passed away I felt the loss after this many years.
Oil on sale full syn 0-20 and oil filter total for 26.00 per oil change....bought the oil filter 12 pk for 22.00...since doing oil change every 7500 miles....but filter every 3000...paid 45.00 for enough oil for 2 changes on sale...plus its 30 min drive to nearest dealer and about 1.5 to 2 hr wait if i dont get there at 730 and alreday a line at that time
So when it says 20 percent that’s a good time to change oil i can trust it? Should I keep track and change every 3000 miles
I trust the computer. 8 quarts of full synthetic will go a lot further then 3,000 miles. That’s old engine conventional oil logic. You should check your oil level and color every so often though.
@@TruckOwnership101 thank you
What oil do you recommend for '21 Chevy Trailboss 5.3L...
Any name brand with that dexos rating is fine by me. I personally look for deals on Valvoline if I can.
@@TruckOwnership101 Fail to mention should I go full synthetic if miles are high...
@@ernestoferrufino6584 you can’t get that dexos rating in conventional oil as far as I can tell. I use full synthetic and go most of the oil life percentage. 8 quarts of full synthetic would be a huge waste if you follow the 3k mile rule of old days.
Helpful video. Like many mentioned do you really save by doing it yourself? My local Chevy dealer charges me $75 including tax for oil change 8qts, tire rotation, top of fluids and car wash. Not really worth the headache to do yourself anymore, not much saving either.
So my question is why does your oil pressure read 60 psi at idle in the very beginning of the video? Aside from that, after my one free oil change I just did my second one myself. Takes about 30 minutes in my driveway and I use more premium oil than the dealership offers. I’m a big fan of Mobil 1 extended performance as I’ve had great results in the past so I used that. As others have stated, dealerships are offering reasonable oil changes these days but to me I’d rather spend the short amount of time to do it myself and know it gets done right with the oil of my choice. 10 quarts of Mobil 1 extended performance and two Mobil 1 filters cost me $70 plus tax. My dealer charges about the same for Delco oil and filter. To each his own I guess. Just hit 14k on my 2019 LTZ71 and I have loved every second of ownership so far. Zero issues aside from a few minor recalls that I didn’t even personally experience.
Nevermind, didn’t see the engine temp was still low. Lol.
Where did you get the ramps from

@@TruckOwnership101 thank you very much
Newb here. I have a large oil leak the majority of the length beneath my truck after an oil change by a mechanic 5 days ago.
I've reported smaller puddles for the last 2 months. The mechanic said he couldn't find no leaks. I even took a picture of the last leak. No leaks he said even with proof.
This is the worst leak I have ever seen. My truck is a 2020 Chevy Silverado. When they changed it, he said there was 5 extra quarts of oil in it. I took it to Valvoline in Phoenix to be checked before driving back to MN 10 days ago. Apparently after telling me it didn't need to be changed, they added that oil. Because I'm an ignorant dipsh*t, I didn't know what they were doing.
Would anybody know if this is a huge problem? I researched oil leaks after an oil change and found that sometimes it's an easy fix due to a double gasket issue, an oil plug stuck, which just takes replacing by the shop that did the change. My other question is, I drove it approximately 60 miles yesterday without any issues. No smoke, no oil pressure changes, no shifting issues, no oil drips in driveway or on cement apron in front of the garage, no strange smells, etcetera. Is my truck's engine permanently ruined?
The only reason I noticed it was because I clumsily dropped my keys and upon bending down, discovered the mayhem.
Good news is my truck decided to unload at home in my garage. It didn't do it on the road, etcetera.
Sitting here trying to figure out how to get it towed and get a rental car being today is the Labor Day holiday. Mofos are closed.
First day of work Tuesday... I'm trying to get to work. I've contemplated renting a damn UHaul truck to use until I can get my truck fixed. 😔
Why is this happening? 🥺 I religiously care for my gorgeous truck. 😩😫
You should probably check the level once its off the ramp to get a more accurate reading.
I do. I think I only mentioned it and didn’t show it
Terrible protip: keep your engine running while you do an oil change. This ensures all oil is cycled out. Keep it running until it stops, this is the sign it is ready for new oil, among other things.
In all seriousness, great video.
Some gloves would be nice and checking with the Dealer. Mine is offering Oil change and Tire rotation for $60 not worth the time or effort to do it yourself.
I agree about using gloves, and you can wipe them down while they are still on before moving to the next step. I disagree about the time and effort of doing it yourself. I guarantee you care more about your truck than the dealer does and you will give it the extra attention it deserves as the owner.
What Ramps are those?
Link was in the description. Tried to copy it in this reply, but it wouldn’t let me on my phone 😅
@@TruckOwnership101 man I’m a knucklehead... I should have checked the description! I’m sorry, love your content! I’ve changed oil a thousand times 😂 and I watched yours and got glued. Keep up the good work!
@@superior1327 you were not the first one to ask! 😜 No worries! Thanks for the support! 😄
For some reason my dealer only charges 55 for my 2019 Sierra, that's the only reason I go to the dealer.
I'd be shocked if they were using synthetic for that price. Usually most anywhere that uses full synthetic charges $60-$100 or more
@@jayer-su3hu good point, however I believe its the price to lure you in for other stuff, like tire rotation. They charge about 80(maybe 60) just to swap tires. They checked the box for tire rotation when you book appointment. You'd have to uncheck to make it 55. So usually its about 130 for oil change and tire rotation. I think that's how they make it work plus the up selling they make on you for other "repairs".
Federal law states if they sell oil, they have to take used oil.
Now if GM would move into the 21st century and stop using screws and start using latches on the air filter cover. Just bought a 2020 Trail Boss and still screws. COME on Man!
I have a K&N system coming up in a future video. Problem solved! 😂
You forgot one item in your pre-oil change inventory list. DISPOSABLE GLOVES!!!!!!!!!!!
Not 100% sure if you did but I would recommend putting oil into your filter and oil on the rubber seal
Always pre fill the filter 🤦♂️
Don’t even need ramps
You shouldn't change the oil so often. Changing under 5000 miles may cause more harm to your engine. New oil has abrasive action to the cylinder for the first few Mike's. I go based on the oil life percentage and change it when it goes under 8% which is around 7000 miles.
