Oil Filter

The first step to replace engine oil and Oil Filter includes properly raising and supporting the vehicle. Use the oil pan Drain Plug to empty all engine oil before cleaning the Drain Plug surface. You should first remove the Oil Filter from its position on the engine block so that the filter can drain all remaining engine oil before cleaning its surface. Mount a new Oil Filter to the engine block while tightening it at force levels specified by the manufacturer on the Oil Filter box packaging along with adherence to the fastener notice in service precautions. The oil pan Drain Plug should be installed by torquing it to 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.). The vehicle must be lowered to address oil oil filling which must follow instructions from the fluid and lubricant recommendations.

Beginning the engine oil and Oil Filter replacement requires opening the hood followed by removing the oil fill cap. Use a drain pan under the Oil Pan Drain Plug to drain the entire engine oil while keeping the Oil Pan level after you support and lift the vehicle. The Drain Plug hole and plug need to be wiped from residual oil before you take out the Oil Filter from the engine block and ensure the filter seal stays off the block surface. Place the new Oil Filter on the engine block after applying clean engine oil to its mounting surface then tighten it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Before ending the procedure replace the oil Drain Plug and secure it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque value. Then lower the vehicle and finish with the recommended quantity of proper grade engine oil in the crankcase. After cleaning the oil level indicator reinstall it onto its original position. Always check the oil level again by removing the indicator before adding more oil if needed and then close the hood.

You need the following tools to service and repair the Oil Filter while replacing the engine: engine lift brackets (J 36857). Engine lift brackets (J 36857). Place fender covers on both fenders after you open the hood and then lift the hood to its service position. The hood hinge bolts need removal before you raise the hood to its vertical position and install the bolts into its service position until it reaches proper tightness. First disconnect both the positive and negative battery cables before unclamping the Throttle Body and air cleaner and removing the air cleaner outlet duct. Wrench off the ignition coils then pressure off the fuel system and disconnect the fuel feed pipeline (1) and return pipeline (2) from the Fuel Rail. Start by taking out the air conditioning (A/C) compressor then follow with Radiator removal and next disconnect the throttle actuator control (TAC) module electrical connector along with vacuum lines followed by the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve adapter while you also take out the ground cable bolt at the engine block and remove the generator and engine electrical harness before elevating the vehicle with safety stands. First remove the Starter motor and Power Steering Pump hoses and then disconnect the exhaust manifold pipe along with the Catalytic Converter and torque converter bolts and transmission bolt. Install the engine lift brackets (J 36857) to the rear of the right Cylinder Head and the front of the left Cylinder Head and secure them with gm P/N 9428217 and gm P/N 15650963 while tightening the bolts to 40 nm (30 ft. Lbs). Use a suitable lifting device to extract the engine by first removing the engine mount heat shield bolts and shields together with engine mount to engine mount bracket bolts. Lay the engine on a suitable stand before removing the generator bracket and A/C Compressor bracket and power steering bracket from the Cylinder Head. The next step will be to detach the lift brackets from the Cylinder Head. Attach the engine lift brackets (J 36857) to re-install the attaching bolt and washer using gm P/N 9428217 with gm P/N 15650963 while tightening the lift bracket bolts to 40 nm (30 ft. Lbs.). You should install the engine block mounted A/C Compressor/power steering mounting bracket with Power Steering Pump bracket bolts and nut torqued to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) then tighten the generator bracket. The lifting device should be used to remove the engine before installation into the vehicle. The engine mount installation process includes mounting the engine mount to engine mount bracket bolts followed by engine mount heat shield and bolts then removing the engine lift hooks from the cylinder heads. Start by supporting the vehicle with safety stands after you raise it and then proceed to install the engine oil cooler lines on the engine block followed by bolts connecting engine to transmission and torque converter bolts and Catalytic Converter and exhaust manifold pipe and Power Steering Pump hoses and Starter motor. Handle the vehicle descent before putting the generator into position with the engine block ground cable connection followed by a 16 nm (12 ft. Lbs.) bolt torque on the engine wiring harness. Follow this installation sequence: connect the tac module electrical connector then install vacuum lines to the engine block and egr valve adapter and Radiator and positive and negative battery cables and lastly the A/C Compressor and ignition coils. After tightening the air cleaner outlet duct clamps the removal of fender covers should occur followed by lowering the hood to its normal position before installing and tightening hood hinge bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Begin your engine start procedure by adding recommended oil of the right grade and quantity and use gm U.S. P/N 1052367, canada P/N 992869 or their equivalent. Start the engine by cranking then remove it from idle until you see oil pressure readings appear. After clear audible checks for noise or part bindings the technician will place the fuel pump Fuse back in the position and reconnect coil harness connectors to initiate engine start-up. The procedure includes another round of listening for abnormal sounds. Check the oil pressure with either the vehicle's built-in gauge or an external oil pressure gauge and maintain engine rpm at 1000 while it warms up to normal operating temperature. Afterward inspect for leaks from oil and coolant and perform a final check of engine liquids. Finish up with a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor variation learn procedure.

The first step to replace engine oil along with the Oil Filter requires the vehicle to rest on safety stands under proper support. Remove the Drain Plug from the oil pan while the engine oil drains completely before cleaning the Drain Plug surface. You must remove the engine block's Oil Filter so you can allow the entire drain of engine oil before cleaning the filter material surface. Place the new Oil Filter on the engine block but tighten it only to the values indicated by the manufacturer on the Oil Filter box while reading and adhering to the fastener notice in service precautions. Fasten the Drain Plug of the oil pan while tightening it to 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.). Lower the vehicle and expand the engine with a proper amount of oil.

Lower the vehicle and fill the crankcase with oil, then close the hood.

Install it onto the engine block, tightening it to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).

Install a new oil filter to the engine block, tightening it according to the manufacturer's instructions printed on the oil filter box, while ensuring to adhere to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Remove the oil filter from the engine block.

Open the hood and raise the vehicle.

Raise the vehicle.

Fill the engine with new engine oil.
