Oil Drain Plug

THE SILVERADO · April 23, 2015

Are these that much lower that the 900s? I can slide underneath my '08 and have plenty of room. Can any one confirm?

Mine is a 2014 GMC 1500 SLE 4X4 model and I cannot get near the filter without jacking it up at least a little bit, I just didn't have the room.

Mine is a 2015 Z71 LTZ Crew Cab Short box w/ a 2 inch level in the front. I'm able to get in pretty easy, but have ramps, so use them to make it easier.

My truck is stock. I'm 5'9" 180 lbs and there's no way I could do an oil change without getting ramps for the front end. I mean you could do it if you had to but it's tough to get the leverage to remove the filter and the oil drain plug. And I was just crawling on the ground....If I had one of those rolling platform things to lay on it would be even tighter.

Side note: I was looking at my cousin's 2005 Sierra yesterday. That thing stock has WAY more ground clearance than these new trucks. I hate this aerodynamic design they go for now.
