How to do an oil change

[tedward]

I'm tired of sending my tahoe to the oil change place and they always call back to tell me something else needs to be fixed, or replaced. I have never changed the oil in my 99 2dr tahoe. I searched for this help, but couldnt find anything. If you guys could give me some advice on how and what I need to change my oil, I would greatly appreicate it! And anything else I need to look out for when doing the oil change.

Thanks

its easy just remove oil from pan take out filter and oil the filter then put it in and put new oil

get yourself a Haynes manual. It will help quite a bit with that stuff.

Remove plug from oil pan (15 mm socket), remove filter (filter wrench), let oil drain, put plug back in, put in new oil filter, put in appropriate amount of oil, check oil level and roll

Soooo many discussions on this.
Buy 6, put in 5 and check it.
If ya need more....add.
If it's good, you got a spare quart.

If it's 4x4 it's most likely 6 qts that is needed
