so I guess somebody noticed me doing the oil change on the Tahoe and I was confronted by my apartment complex's management today and asked "not to work on my car in the parking lot" LOLZOR

Once again, another simple DIY that I wasn't able to find around this site. Changing your oil is relatively easy as long as you have the appropriate tools and take your time so you don't make a mess. Here's what you'll need...
Got the materials together for my oil change. O'reilly auto parts just bought out Checker's and they've been having crazy sales (all the old checker's tools are 50% off BTW). My local store just got in the O'reilly brand full synthetic motor oil, made by Shell (I think), and I decided to go...
there was a sale at my local o'reilly. they just started carrying their full syn o'reilly blend, it is made by shell. I got 5qts and a mobil 1 filter for $17.99!!! with the extra qt of oil and some shop towels, the total was only $27 for a full syn oil change and killa filta . . . beat that midas!
assuming that the heater/furnace pipe holds, it will only add to it. I would do the swiss cheese AND the k&n drop in. after that, the furnace pipe will only help more.
I'm very interested to see if that furnace pipe holds up or if it gets crushed/deformed, or something else. in theory...
wow nice job! what does that thing sound like? more importantly, how does it feel?
I hope the hose has enough rigidity, x2 I would try and stiffen it/paint it.
if you want I can order it for you and then ship it directly . . . you'd obviously have to pay the shipping charges, but I'm down to forward some freight

title says it all - have to do an oil change on our 01 Tahoe . . . and I'm guessing it needs plugs because my GF has no idea when they were done.
several questions:
what oil filters due you use? are there oversized filters approved? anyone have a stock part number for a k&n oil filter...
b itch ed at my GF to let me buy some MAF cleaner and debadge the hoe . . . also tried to convince her to let me do the oil change because for the same price she can get materials that are twice as good . . .
dude I dunno highrollin . . . you are pushing it . . . this starts to get into a discussion of why the pre-TB baffling is there . . . the whole reason the intake is designed with all that pre-TB baffling is that the engineers are WELL AWARE that the stock intake box is lacking in airflow...
I've seen short ram setups available on ebay that have a silicon elbow from the TB, to a big long straight piece of aluminum pipe, to the MAF, and then a cone filter with a bracket to hold it in place. these things go for around $90 shipped, but I bet you could build one with PVC - biggest...
yeah the holes are on the bottom with the filter above, your airbox pulls clean air from the TOP half of the airbox . . . go look at it carefully and you'll see - cut the holes in the BOTTOM/DIRTY half of the box only like so

valid question - water in your engine could potentially cause it to stall or even hydrolock, but you'd have to suck up TONS of it all at once, basically by submerging the intake in a bucket at high RPMs. think about it - when you use seafoam, you suck liquid into the engine. when you add...
