2004 Chevrolet Corvette Oil Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2004 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The first step is to open the hood before removing the oil fill cap followed by changing the engine oil and Oil Filter. Lift the vehicle safely before removing the oil pan Drain Plug to drain the engine oil into an appropriate collection container. Allow enough time for complete drainage to occur. Before installing the new filter start by removing the existing filter from its position on the engine block while preventing the filter seal from sticking on the block itself. Place drained oil into the drain pan before the oil settles from the filter opening. Clean all excess oil from the mounting area of the Oil Filter assembly. Use clean oil to gently coat the engine Oil Filter gasket before mounting the Oil Filter onto the engine block while torquing it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Use a rag to remove any surplus oil from the oil pan drain hole before putting the Drain Plug in position and tightening it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). The vehicle must remain at a lower position when no additives meant for corvette engines should be put in use. Use the correct engine oil amount along with filler type before starting a 3-minute engine operation. After the second vehicle lifting session check every inch of the Oil Filter along with the oil pan Drain Plug to find any leakages. After the engine reaches minimum operating temperature wait for at least 3 minutes then lower the vehicle while checking and adding oil until the Dipstick shows the maximum allowed level. After you reset the engine oil life monitor, install the oil fill cap before closing the hood.
