DIY Video to how to change the oil on the 2016- 2018 Chevy Volt

This will be my 3rd oil change for my Volt.   I had the Chevy Dealership change my oil at 10,000 miles with 50% oil life, 20,000 miles at 50% oil life. This time its now 41,500 miles at 0% oil life, and its time to do it DIY to save $30-50 dollars!.   Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

Which means the change interval for the 2017 Chevy Volt is about 20,000 miles!!! After changing it i will now change it when it reaches 5-10% oil life as the oil looks thicker than normal by 0%.

I needed to add drain and fill about 3.8  quarts of Mobil 1 – 0w-20 (http://amzn.to/2CX5xPl)  instead of the recommended 5w-20 as i prefer lighter weight oil in my cars with needing 5w-20 oil weight motors.  I will also be changing out the oil filter with the Wix XP filter  ( or the  ACDELCO PF64 filter thats about $6.50 at Walmart or Amazon – http://amzn.to/2FPL3uZ –

Coming up Chevy Volt Vlog #62, so stayed tuned!!!!
