  Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A: The first step to replace engine oil and Oil Filter is lifting and supporting the vehicle. Set a suitable drain pan directly under the Oil Pan Drain Plug before unscrewing it for complete engine oil drainage. Wash and evaluate the oil Drain Plug sealing area of the Oil Pan before changing the Oil Pan if needed; clean the Drain Plug hole before tightening the Drain Plug to its proper torque. Place a suitable drain pan below the Oil Filter before removing it while making sure the Oil Filter gasket stays on the old filter unless it comes off from the adapter. Administer fresh engine oil on the new Oil Filter gasket and then position the new Oil Filter while tightening it 3/4 to 1 full turn after the gasket makes contact with the adapter. Earnestly fasten the Drain Plug of the Oil Pan to 26 n.m then take away the drainage pan from beneath the automobile before raising it. Start the engine and check for any liquid leakage after filling the motor with proper fluids according to specified capacity standards. Allow the engine to idle while the oil drains from the filter down into the pan for several minutes. You should clean the tube opening with paper or cloth before resetting the oil level indicator in its place. Allow the handle to reach the tube's upper edge during the reinstallation step. Use the tip of the oil level indicator to check oil levels again while maintaining the indicator in this position. Check and maintain the oil level by adding oil through the drain or by draining if needed then do a leak inspection.
