Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to do an oil change on this '96 Chevy Tahoe. The items you'll need for this are a 15mm socket and ratchet, a drip pan, oil filter wrench, funnel, oil, and for this vehicle, it's 5W-30, and an oil filter.
Your oil drain plug is located right here on the side of your oil pan. Using a 15mm socket and ratchet, you just want to remove that and make sure you have a drip pan underneath it to collect the oil. Just let that drain. When it drains, then you can just put that cap back in and tighten it up.
Your oil filter is located right up here next to your oil pan. Using an oil filter wrench, you just want to loosen it up and then you can remove it the rest of the way by hand. Again, make sure your drip pan's underneath there because some oil will spill out. Now, wipe the area down, especially around where the oil filter goes. Take some fresh oil and put it around your new oil filter and then feed your new oil filter up into place and just twist it in as tight as you can get it by hand is usually good. You could also just seat the gasket and then another three quarter's turn.
Now, remove your oil fill cap and using a funnel, you just want to replace the oil. We fill it up with about five quarts. When you're done filling it, replace the cap and then start your vehicle and let it run for a second just to cycle the oil through the engine. Now, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and then check it again and we're all set.
