Not sure if that tube will fit on the K2's but if it does I'll be getting one.  That angle is a pain.

No that is a collant fill and auto burp funnel kit. I have it and works great not for oil and even with our water thick oil the hole is still very small. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Check the orientation of the two locking tabs inside the oil fill hole.  If they are at 12 and 6, these filler necks will not sit vertically when installed.  If the tabs are at 3 and 9 as shown in this illustration, they'll work.

On my 2016 Tahoe the tabs are at 12 and 6.

Anyone have any updates to this for one that fits the 2018 at the proper angle (i.e. upright) without modification?

Got my hands on a 2019+ fill tube. Based on the fitting, looks like it will be damn near vertical after installation; maybe tilted just a hair forward. Will update photos after install

Can you give the part number for this?

 

Also, can you confirm that you didn't need to modify the locking grooves prior to installing?

Been doing my own changes for ever. I just use a long skinny funnel and never had an issue, no spills or anything.

Skinny funnel fits in there well and i just dump the oil in.

Thanks for the confirmation, I just ordered one for my truck.  I did an oil change last weekend and it was a bit of a pain as my larger oil funnel was too large to fit in the hole, so I had use a smaller funnel.  It worked but I had to very slowly pour in the oil to keep it from overflowing in the funnel.  This should allow for much easier access next oil change.

Received mine yesterday and it works great.  Fits without any issue and is straight up and down on my truck.  Should make the next oil change go a lot smoother.

Did the cap off your truck fit, or did you need to get the newer cap as well?

I have a 2015 and the cap fits on the tube.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
