2003 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2003 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: The Oil Filter and engine oil replacement process begins by opening the hood then taking out the oil fill cap. Properly support your vehicle while placing an oil drain pan under the Oil Pan Drain Plug to drain all engine oil before reinstalling the plug while maintaining a flat positioning of the Oil Pan. Drained oil should be wiped off from both the Drain Plug opening and its plug before you uninstall the Oil Filter. Ensure no filter seal remains on the engine block. Install the new Oil Filter by applying clean engine oil to its seal then tighten the filter to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). The service process requires reattaching the oil Drain Plug while setting its torque to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Then lower the vehicle and follow with accurate engine oil installation. The oil level indicator should be removed to wipe it clean before installing it back into position. Follow this step by checking the oil level while the indicator is removed. If oil needs addition then perform that step before fully closing the hood.
