Was really waiting to hear how much oil was lost after this job. Didn't look like much, so I guess I'll just assume that I don't need to do this during an oil change, and just fix mine rn. Been holding off cause I thought the oil loss would be greater. Thx for video though. 👍

I thought my motor had a major problem on my 07 sierra WT with the 4.8, turns out it's been this all along. A total pain to get to, and mine was caked with dirt stuck to the oil, but did it over the weekend when I changed the oil and it fixed it, thanks!

Well ,you mean I may not have to replace the oil pan gasket after all ? Such good news . There was a question of something else leaking other than the oil pan gasket,which I did not relish fooling with. If this little gasket is the problem ,may as well change oil as well. Thanks for the video ., made my day

Great video. Easy to view and you explained everything in detail. Hoping this solves my issue on 2012 Suburban.

Suggestion: change this after dropping your oil and oil filter on your next oil change...

showing each step carefully was great!

Seeing how clean it is by the rear main seal I’m going to assume it’s the rear main seal on mine and it isn’t then all worries are gone lol Thanks for the video it’s helpful

Really good video man. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm now a subscriber!!

Great job amigo!!! That's what I was looking for, same gasket.

I’ve got that leak , good video-thanks

Have the same oil leak from that same gasket on my 01 Chevy suburban with the 5.3. It’s a common issue on them, getting a new block off gasket for mine. Got 136k on mine

Need one for 96 Chevy Tahoe k1500 5.7l

Do you know if this leak was causing fumes to enter the cab when the engine/exhaust got hot. I have been chasing a ton of leaks over the last 6 months from valve coveres, transmission lines, exhaust manifolds, and coolant. I know this is near the driver side cat and curious if this is where my current fume issue is coming from. It has got better with each repair. But I am still not at a decent level of comfort with the current fume issue. Generally do not notice it until you stop. And usually ends up worse for a moment at a hot start.

Nice, very informative Thanks.

I have changed the one on my 2011 Silverado 1500 four times already and keeps leaking. I have the actual cooking lines though. Someone told me I have to apply rtv silicone sealant around the gasket. So once I do my next oil change I’m going to do it.

Thanks have the same leak

Great Video!

Did this today with that same gasket

Is it the Oil filter high flow and low flow put the short oil filter that goes on it and u won't have a blown oil gasket

Thanks alot buddy !

Basically tighten until it's snug and turn a little bit more?

the gasket I got isnt shaped like yours it has one side that has a 90* edge, does that correspond to the edge on the oil pan at 8:40? Thanks and great video

I use that gasket and after some time start leaking again, so I remove it and install the one is for the oil cooler, no more leaks

What I heard is blue loctite and snug but not tight I have a torque wrench but it’s not rated to go that low

No RTV?

Is the gasket the same for the gen 4?

This should be the same for my 01 Yukon xL? 5.3 1500

can oil cooler mix antifreeze with engine oil ?

Do you have to use any gasket sealer?

Need update! Did that solve the problem or do you still have leaks?

Did that solve the problem?

Is not necessary to put seal on it?

no rtv sylicone necessary?

How did yours fail and cause the leak

It doesn’t make any sense to put a open gasket on something that has two holes. It seems like the fluid would just fight itself going back-and-forth.

Part number Please

I have done mine three times and it still leaks I even replaced the cap

Seems like it would make more sense to do it in the middle of an oil change…

PRO TIP: Do this repair DURING an oil change so that you don't do like this guy did and waste perfectly good oil. ESPECIALLY if the leak isn't a very significant one. If you already go between oil changes without adding a half quart or more of oil then you can wait until you do an oil change. You're welcome...
