2001 Chevrolet Impala Oil Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2001 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: A proper method of supporting the vehicle first becomes necessary to replace engine oil and Oil Filter. Place the drain pan under the oil Drain Plug then remove the engine oil Drain Plug. Tackle the Drain Plug's maintenance by fixing or replacing it when required and check the Oil Pan sealing surface for repairability and perform a replacement if needed. First remove the oil from the engine block then clean the Oil Filter sealing region before conducting any necessary repairs or replacing the components if needed. Apply clean oil to the new Oil Filter gasket before attaching the filter to the mounting surface while tightening it 3/4 to 1 full turn beyond contact. Execute the installation of the engine Oil Pan Drain Plug while securing it at 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) then discard the draining Oil Pan and lower the vehicle. Check the engine by filling with new engine oil then start the vehicle while examining for any signs of oil leakage. Allow the engine to idle until after the spent oil drops into the Oil Pan for several minutes. After wiping the tube end with a paper towel or cloth you should reinstall the oil level indicator along the tube until its handle reaches the top. After removing the oil level indicator a second time keep its tip pointing downwards then inspect the present oil quantity. Check the engine oil level before deciding if engine oil needs addition or drainage.
