What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

$50!!??

These things cost $25-30, which ones are $50?.... Lol

As for the oil filter, I learned long ago on my 2001 to just punch a hole in the bottom of it and let it drain for a few minutes before removing it

I only looked up the one with the hose (Femco?). I put in my vehicle info and the one they showed with the 90 degree hose was $49.xx. Straight one was around $45. Didn't check out the Fumoto.

I'm a creature of habit and have just never thought to try something different when changing oil. If I can remember, I'll start punching the filter at the next oil change.

filter puncture is always my go to if I'm struggling to get the filter off. I also leave the drain plug out until i have the filter off because it seems like when i get the seal broken on the filter another half quart falls out.

Also what's the 411 on the factory oil coolers. I have heard that there is a block off plate sort of above where the filter screws on that is a provision for an oil cooler but haven't had time to see if mine has one or not.

I didn't see this message- I grab a box of the disposable latex free blue ones they use at medical offices and keep them in the vehicle at all times. Handy for a medical emergency and for oil changes!

Medical emergency......hmmm....

I've got a family of borderline preppers. I keep a carton of tampons and **** pads too in case someone gets shot and ya need to stop the bleeding.

And for their intended use too. Don't want your better half to be caught out with no options.

Isn't it in the other side tank of the radiator, like the trans cooler?

i need to look. That's how it was on my S10. I don't know what GMT900s got the factory ones and what ones didn't. I know not all did- and I would like to have one.

I think the Fumoto is around $30, the Femco might be a bit more. I punch a hole in the filter too. I just like being able to screw the drain hose on without tools and go take a break while it drains. Every time I used to pull the plug it went all over my hands with or without gloves, it likes to gush out. Then when everything is all drained, I put one pair of gloves on and replace the filter. It’s just way easier with the Femco. It might not be worth it to some but I actually enjoy changing the oil now.
