was just over on rock auto.dotcom. . .
and was looking at oil filters and saw this below

just wanted you guys input on this. not that i think i need to do this. . .

Since it can be difficult to obtain access to the
Oil Pressure Sender / Switch when the oil filter is on,
OE manufacturers suggest replacing this
part when changing oil.

 

That's hilarious. I thought I was the only one who read that! I know I change my switch every 5000 miles. Ya can't be to careful with these new fandangled engines!

 

OMG - that is funny.

I also heard somewhere that the hood struts should be replaced at the same time, but to me that is rather excessive. Once every second oil/filter change seems more reasonable to me.

 

Maybe just 1 per change that way you're always protected by a new one. Belive me you wouldn't want that giant hood coming down on you! I knocked the prop "stick" out once. It wasn't easy getting it back in while stuck under the hood.

 

Well i guess i am way behind in switch replacements with my '11 2LT.
In my best Homer Simpson voice. . . D'oh.

 

Well, the don't exactly say every oil change. But, I'm scared now!

Now I'm going to be worried about that Power Steering fluid flush I wouldn't pay for 8 years ago.

 

But do you keep your blinker fluid topped off

 

I think whoever copied that to the parts site has it a little confused. GM SUGGESTS changing the oil if a sender needs to be replaced, to make the sender parts change easier....at least that is the way I remember it.

 

But seriously folks always , always check your torque bindle valve! It could save your sanity!!

 

So the oil filter is not in the way when you take it 'off' during an oil change?
