2000 Chevrolet Venture Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter without an oil cooler on 2000 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The first step for engine Oil Filter and oil replacement when there's no oil cooler is to lift and stabilize the vehicle. After positioning an Oil Pan beneath the engine oil Drain Plug remove the Drain Plug and engine Oil Pan fastener. The first step is to inspect the Drain Plug followed by repairs or plug replacement when needed. Also conduct a similar inspection of the Oil Pan sealing surface before potentially replacing the Oil Pan if required. Then remove the Oil Filter to inspect and clean the sealing area surrounding the engine block. Perform repairs or replace the parts if required. Apply some clean oil to the new Oil Filter gasket then mount the filter onto the engine by turning it 3/4 to 1 full turn past the gasket's contact point with the mounting surface. Fasten the engine Oil Pan Drain Plug with 25 nm torque (18 ft. Lbs. Of force). Take out the oil drain pan followed by lowering the automobile. Insert new engine oil after starting the engine to look for any oil leakage. Let the engine run until the oil drains completely back into the pan for three minutes before stopping. Reposition the oil indicator tube after cleaning its exposed end with a towel and reinstall it by letting the handle reach the tube's upper edge. After lowering the tip completely check the oil level against the dipstick once more. Oil level adjustment can be made using engine oil additions or subtractions if required.
