Re: '05 Tahoe 5.3 Oil Change

Changed the oil and filter today on the '05. Boy, 5/W30 oil flows quick when it is warm, LOL. Luckily had the pan in place but dropped that hot pan bolt in the oil and had to get the magnet to fish it out. Really went a bit easier than our '99 Tahoe as the filter on the '05 sits vertically and not angled like the '99 did. Had to make a quick run to the parts house tho and get a 6th quart of oil. Had bought a 5 qt jug like always did on the '99, that wasn't enough, quart shy. Got the oil life percentage set back to 100% with no problem. Still need to change the trans filter and fuel filter.

Have not looked into the dim cluster light fix yet but that is on the list also.
