How To Change Your Oil (Cobalt SS/SC)

[DUFFY]

the gloves made the video that much better.

nice job xen!!

Those glove are SAWEET! I used them all the time when I was in the shop doing oil changes and other dirty jobs at amoco (past job).

nice write up.

my 2009 2.2L only takes 5qts

just did my first change at 5774 miles!

btw i skipped your get under the car step, I use the mityvac to remove my oil.

How'd it work? It looks pretty cool. Did it get most of it out? Can you use it for all your fluids?

It works great, I use it on my Nissan, and it gets everything out from the oil pan, from what i can tell. It gets it out better than using the drain plug does. Only fluid it says your not supposed to use with it is anything flammable.

My service manual says my 2.2l takes 5qt with filter.

after sucking it out thru the dipstick tube, I changed filter, used it to suck out the bit left in there, and then added the 5 qts. Checked my level with dipstick, its perfect.

Same for my Nissan, but only takes ~3.7 qts

One thing I would like to add, the full synthetic is only required for the SS, the LS and LT i believe use conventional oil. unless the owner has switched to synthetic like I have.

I know the others take differ quanities thats why i just labeled it SS/SC.
I dont have a non SC so i cant make a seperate video for the 2.2/2.4 guys but if you guys give me the specs i will add them to the 1st post.
