Hopefully this video helps duramax owners!

5 gallon bucket works great for catching oil. I have a designated one obviously

I thought it was more like 15w-40 for these trucks? 🤔

Awesome! Thanks for the tips and tricks.

Never install oil filter with a wrench..orings do not need to be as tight has something with a gasket

Amazing. Uses almost twice the oil as my highly modified BMW but costs half as much. Can't wait to pick up my LBZ tomorrow!

My LMM is at 304,000k miles. I use Mobile Delvac, Mobile 1 filter, don’t prefill the filter and change it between 5/10ish k miles. It uses maybe.. maybe 1/2 to a qt of oil between changes. No oil pump tick.

Thank you Cory I love watching your daily videos, keep them up buddy. 😁

awesome video

Nice. Better than average tutorial.

Great video just wish there was better light to see. 01 Sierra 2500hd

Just a suggestion..if you use ramps you can get most of the old oil out, if you don't you leave about a quart in the pan due to the baffling. Using the ramps the oil will drain for quite a while if you let it, it never entirely stops. For those with skid plates still on remove them and due yourself a favor..Good Video.

Really a Torque Rench on your Mushimoto drain plug then you Mush the shit out of the Filter.Hand Tight and a 1/4 turn. Max

What about greasing it up, ?? Is that on another video? good job on the video. , Thanks for the tips

Driveway Demons Great Video i like how you've been doing daily uploads keep up the great work

Looks like you get the say low pressure light went the outside temp drops too...

Love the video As long as you ran the engine before the oil and filter change there is nothing wrong with installing an empty oil filter. The residual oil is sufficient as long as you don't start it and take off at full throttle. It is actually more dangerous to prefill because most people prefill the filter wrong. The big hole in the middle is where the filtered oil is picked up and sent to the engine or the clean side of the filter. If for any reason there are some contaminants in the oil or that got picked up in the prefill they flow straight into the engine. If you want to prefill you need to plug the middle hole and fill through the outside holes. Totally understand the argument for prefilling and if that's what you want to do go ham as long as you do it right.

Did mpg go up ? I’m around 21-26 best

Great video, thank you for making it. I'm a new 1st time Duramax owner. I bought a 2013 chevy silverado 2500HD 6.6L LML Duramax, it has 144,760 miles on it. I'm going to forsure get the magnetic drain plug, and I'll probably use the WIX oil filter and the T6 Rotella 15W-40 oil. I bought the truck from a chevy dealer and they changed the oil and transmission fluid with filter, also changed the fuel filter, flushed the cooling system and flushed the brake fluid. I'll need to change the transfer case fluid and both F & R diff fluids. It freezing cold here in Minnesota so those will need to hold on till spring and warmer Temps. I'm also going to install the 100gpm air dog lift pump. I have no way of knowing if the CP4 is still factory, I'm finding no record to support if it's ever been changed or not, so I'm adding Lucas fuel treatment to the fuel hoping it lubricates the CP4 until I can afford to get the CP3 conversion done. Once again, thank you and wish me luck. Any advice you can offer on CP4 care would be very appreciated.

deleted 6.7 PSD oil doesn't get black even at 12thou km. corse them hold 3 quarts more than lml so that helps

When I change my oil in my duramax I let my oil drain over night. My oil is clear weeks later. Maybe if you get the old oil out it won't be black 30 seconds later.

I don’t know why you would need a torque wrench to change your oil!!! And my lb7 is 2.5 gallons of rotella on the button, no less no more.

This 100% is not the proper use of a torque wrench!

My 15 lml loves Rotella t6 with a k&n oil filter.ive tried everything an the engine is smooth an way quieter.a lot of other oil give me that type writer tick for about 1500 miles.with rotella t6 it's gone.

I have a 1,inch by 1 inch square rare earth magnet rigjt next to where the oil drain is..next to the fumoto valve

What is the part number for the magnetic drain plug?

I don't see where to get drain plug

didnt see link for drain plug

You for sure aren’t supposed to click the hell out of the torque wrench when torquing to spec it’s one click anything past is over torqued

Looking for the Mishimoto drain plug link

Good video I wish I could find one of those trucks for a decent price.

So my oil cap says 15w 40 but I bought 5w 40 for my 3500. Does that matter or no? Only got it because the guy looked into the computer and said to grab it

Oil filters are supposed to be hand tight, I’ve never seen someone use a ratchet to tighten it.🤷🏻‍♂️

No oil filter helps keep the oil looking clean for ever. And no EGR diesels engine oil will look clean for a while.

you know why the oil goes black instantly its cause that stock oil pan keeps about a quart of dirty oil in it after the drain because of the valley in the middle of the pan

Mishimoto drain plug have a pack like rolex

Not in a LB7..my oil stays clean even up to 5,000 miles..my 02 LB7 has over 352,000 plus miles and stays clean looking

Hey not to say anything negative but doesn't the duramax take 10 quartz oil capacity? I always use two gallons of rotella and then two quartz of Lucas oil stabilizer

What’s a normal amount of metal shavings?

Pretty good vid..BUT, you definitely over torqued that plug. You can see at least twice you clicked, then pulled passed the click and clicked again. Just one click is all you need, all that extra is pulling beyond torque and is unneeded. If one wants a verify, gently pulling a second click is acceptable, but that was way beyond needed. For 15lbs I would suggest a smaller wrench also, not as apt to pull passed torque. It gets more critical with smaller fasteners. Good vid.

Those mitsumoto drain plugs have horrible reviews for breaking off in the hole. I will go the route of putting a rare earth magnet close to drain area.

Great video, how about doing a walk around video showing how much lift and tire and wheel size etc.. beautiful truck

Great video!

Don’t need the anti drain back valve

Why use 5w 40 when it requires 15w 40?

2 1/2 gallons will do the job? On a 2021 Sierra Duramax diesel

would have been a little helpful with oil filter and plug part numbers

Not the best filter or oil.. Literally 10qrts of Rotella is $50 which isn’t bad, but just sign up as an Amsoil Preferred Customer. I paid $58 for 11 quarts of Amsoil HD diesel oil, and the filter Ea052 for $15. Which this filter is one of the very best, and backed by plenty on DMAX forums. In total I paid over $80 but, I’m also getting something proven and repped on. Vs Rotella which is known for air pockets and bubbles forming in the oil. I’d pick $10 more as a quality insurance. And now I can get Amsoil for my JZ at 25% off, or anything else I play with.

You never want to put it in dry. That what she said.

Nice job, cut open that oil filter. We want to see the guts of it.

i would avoid the "no name" oil filter and stick with ac delco, wix or mobile one brand filters, dont take the chance.

Throw that oil plug in the trash and install a Fumoto Valve!

13mm?? Really??????

"the proper way" 12 clicks on the torque wrench and not showing how much to pour in from the 3rd jug before checking

Defiently dont need to tighten that shit that hard lol

I use wix oil fuel an trans filters

Man...i change my rotella with cat oil filter at every 5k and its just as clean as I when I changed it...u should think about clean oil changes 🤔 somethings wrong if your oil is dirty after the first start up... mishimoto drain plug is trash!!! It Stripped in my oil pan after the second time I took it off....reason its hardtop take off is because its about to strip. I can't handle wannabe gear heads 🤦‍♂️

5w-40? 😂

:D

Wrong!...you need to drain everything the oil pan and filter at the same time for an hour!! Then bump 1quart of clean oil. Let that drain for 30min. And then put all together, plug,filter and clean oil...that's how you do an oil change!!!!

More like 20 ft lbs but who is counting

Lol who uses a torque wrench on a drain bolt

So stupid changing your oil at 5k if your running t6.

The oil turns black because you dont let it drain over night . try that ;)

Wear rubber gloves dude.

Changed my oil today. I rarely use a tool to remove the filter even though it’s needed at times. Be a man. Use your hands
