Oil Change

[elbeto]

Can anyone direct me to a do it yourself link to change my oil with pics on my 2007 Yukon?

Anyone.

Have you ever changed oil before? (Not to be a smart ass)

I have the on a 86 Ford Mustang GT and Ford F150. I just recently purchased our Yukon and am trying to get familiar with it.

I don't have pics, but if you're under the vehicle, with your feet sticking out towards the front of the truck, the drain plug is on the right side of the oil pan and the filter is on the left hand side. Since you've done oil changes before, the rest should be simple enough to figure out.

The filter unscrews forever, so be patient.

Before you drain the oil, I strongly recommend that you get a small bucket, rather than the typical oil pan. The plug is on the side of the pan, so when it lets loose, the initial stream shoots out sideways, and makes pan placement a hit or miss situation. With a bucket, you can hold it up in the path of the stream and as the initial flow subsides, place it easily on the ground to catch the remaining. Also advise the use of a nylon strap wrench to remove the filter. It's nestled in a hollowed-out cavity which makes it difficult to get a good grip on it. And while your under there, check the 2 bolts that secure the little cover plate directly above the filter. They are known to come loose and leak oil.

Hey thanks for your feedback.
