great videos by the way, they are done very well!
When the engine is first started after an oil change, the oil filter has to
fill before oil is circulated. This can cause a brief lack of oil which
harms engine bearings. Any time you can add oil to the filter before
installing it you should. The main bearings, rod bearings, camshaft
bearings, lifters, and rocker arms all rely on a thin film of pressurized
oil to prevent metal to metal contact. Just a thousandth of a second of a
lack of oil does irreversible damage to bearings. Thanks.
thanks
Why do you fill the oil filter with new oil? Is there any benefit to that?
Just wondering. Typically I fill the crankcase with the manufacturer’s
recommended amount of oil, let it run for a few minutes, let it sit for a
few minutes, and check the oil to make sure it’s at the “full” level.
it looked like the filter you removed was partially collapsed…
Why are you using Shell Rotella 15W-40 in that Trailblazer?
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Please, for Gods sake, use some jackstands!! Otherwise, very informative
video.
