2005 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Engine oil replacement requires starting by opening the hood while taking out the oil fill cap. Begin by suspending the vehicle properly and position a drain pan beneath the Oil Pan Drain Plug before removal until the engine oil empties out completely while making certain the Oil Pan remains at level. After draining the oil go through the hole and plug to remove surplus oil. Then unscrew the filter while verifying the filter seal stays within the engine block. Use new clean engine oil to lubricate the Oil Filter seal before installing it on the mounting area where you should tighten it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Place the oil Drain Plug into position before tightening it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) while also lowering the vehicle. Set the appropriate engine oil quantity and grade in the crankcase before using the oil level indicator to measure liquid level followed by oil addition if needed. Finally, close the hood.
