Excellent job on the video - clear easy directions. As a female - I'm off to change my oil with confidence. Thanks!

Easy to follow video especially for a beginner who wants to change oil on one of these. One thing to note is it does not have to be dexos certified only has to meet the requirements of that. Car makers can’t tell you what oil to use only the requirements that are needed. Again good video ! So many oil change videos are shaken and you can’t even see.

I so appreciate your video and mentioning the size of oil and air filters, 7 and 10 mm wrenches, oil drain pan, and funnel. I will even remember the rag to wipe things off. Thank you kindly !!

I’ve done multiple oil changes, but I still never feel like I know what I’m doing until I watch a tutorial on YouTube and realize it’s not that difficult lol

[e.dnorth]

I am surprised to see this 2.0L Turbo 4 cylinder taking so much oil ( I put in 6.5 quarts to the full line in my Equinox 2.0 liter this week ) however, I am also glad to see that it takes 6.5 quarts as the this is still a small engine for a mid-size SUV and the Turbo needs clean oil. If the oil change was let's say 4.5 quarts you would need to change the oil more often. As it is being the engine oil is performing two functions (engine and turbo) 6.5 quarts will let owners have more mileage between changes. But from many data points these small engines with a turbo are unforgiving if you do not change the oil when needed. Many videos on YouTube that reviews engines dying a horrible death it you constantly let the oil life dash feature go all the way down to 0% oil life. Your engine will not live a long happy life. Some videos show failure at around 100, 000 miles to 140, 000. If you are keeping your Equinox for a long time oil changes need to be done much sooner at around 40% to 50% oil life left according to the dashboard feature. Beware - as oil is cheap compared to killing the turbo or worse yet destroying the engine. When I change the oil at 50% oil life left the oil is already really black and that is caused by the high pressures in the engine because of the turbo cramming in more air at the intake. This is called blow by as the contaminants under high pressure are getting from the combustion chamber to the crankcase. This is a tradeoff of getting more power out of a 2.0-liter engine. Worse yet is the 1.5 liter engine in this size SUV. The 1.5 liter with the turbo I would definitely suggest oil changes much sooner - like around 55% to 60% of oil life showing in the dashboard feature.

Great video, what's the best solution? When the dealership tighten the drain plug so tight you can't even get it off.
