    OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

    OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

    Came back from tacos today and coming down my street and my landlord pointed at the d/s front and said my daytime running light was out. Sure enough, it was. Opened it up and the bulb/socket were both charred and slightly melted on one contact. Had to settle for a Dorman part and I replaced old...

    Hell, set up a magnet on the oil filter and have a magnetic drain plug.

    Sounds doable, BUT, when the metal gathers there is always a sludge effect at the metal area. If you use a magnetic drain plug, that comes out with the plug. If you use your method, there MAY be some of that left in the pan. But, it is a "better than nothing" idea.

    Some how, some way, either do the oil change yourself or find a trustworthy shop, friend recommendations and a personal meet and greet helps. I always use a magnetic drain plug and encourage others to as well. Periodically do an oil analysis with these guys...

    Engine Oil Overfill

    So you were using a ratchet and socket and could not break the drain plug loose. That is straight up bull*s*h*i*t. Drain plug too tight and I bet the filter is too and overfilled.

    Tight budget? You have yet to reassemble. There is still unknown costs coming.

    The $100 to $150 price difference is not worth the chances, IMO.

    That invoice also tells you they pumped in oil and never checked the level. Idiots!!! You need to get some tools and a drain pan and do it yourself.

    What is the price difference between used and new? Want to do all that work with a used cam and cross your fingers?
