What should I do in addition to oil change on H3!

[milbrath47]

Hey Guys,

The oil light just came on my H3. I got all the info I needed regarding the oil change, Ive also rotated the tires and got that out of the way a while ago. I read about greasing the H3 chassis and after searching the topic all I got on the forum was jokes and gay porn. Does anybody have the H3 underbody digram with grease point locations on it, or any specifics on where and what components to grease? I also read about lubricating the the door seals. What kind of grease are you guys using? I read the H2 guys are using mobil synthetic red. Any other maintenence diagrams and resolutions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much guys!- Michael Milbrath

Iam going to use mobil synthetic oil with mobil filter. What filter do you guys reccommend. I plan on keeping this car for many years. My favorite car is my 1987 chevy caprice classic with 500,000 miles on it and still running strong. So anybody who says GM cars suck can kiss my ass.

P.S Please dont tell me KY jelly.

The only other than I have done is added the GM oil drain plug with the magnet on it. The stock oil drain plug does not have one.

What does the drain plug with the magnet do? Your not talking about a Filter mag are you the one that make sure metal fragments do not escape your oil filter?

Oil change is simple. remove front bolts ,remove passanger side (2nd set of bolts)and loosen the drivers side ,it is longer loosen till about to come off ,loosen the 3rd set of bolts.It will come off ,
I had it up on a lift and didnt see any lub points for grease.I did spray some white grease on linkage and e/ brake,doors hood hatch ect.

The big zip lock bag trick worked for removing filter without dripping down on the frame ,it seems to have a drip pan spot to catch dripping oil.
when done just spray down with brake cleaner, botom of oil pan ect.

So I dont need to mobil one synthetic Grease? Just spray on lubricant? I know the H2ers have to use rease.

Check the front and rear axle fluid levels; just for peach of mind. i would say check the T/case fill too, but that can be tricky, depending on when your vehicle was manufactured. Some fill levels are at the fill plug like the diffs, some are above the fill plug.
Best source of information is the owner's manual and the maintenance requirements. Don't trust a dealer, they will try and sell you everything from a fuel injector cleaning to a flush and fill of the tires with fresh air.
