Default Re: Changing Engine Oil

I AM THE KING!!!! freaking 15mm socket wrench did the trick. Why, for the love of God, does Chevy use the Metric system? I've replaced the engine coolant, drained the oil, transfered oil into containers, now all I need to do is return the standard oil filter to get one that is considerably smaller. Now why does a truck, and I'm not talking one of those tiny import trucks, why does an american Chvey Silverado use such a tiny oil filter? Well, they do, so just a quick run up to Pep boys to get it exchanged and I am in business!

Frustrating experience, but damn did it feel good watching that stream of black coming from the oil pan after finally looseing that screw. In 100K miles, I'll even know how to drain my engine coolant. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the help, OOT, and glad I could provide a few laughs.
