C5 Oil change

[muddywaters]

Hi, Been changing oil since 1969, opened the owners manual of the 99 I just got and I see "SPECIAL PROCEDURE" pertaining to oil change. I ordered manuals on the 99, but can anyone enlighten me on what the procedure might be. Thanks Muddywaters

Nothing special really, just get the back a little higher than the front and change away!

I agree. With the drain plug at the front, and the internal baffling, you have to have the car level or slightly rear end up, or some dirty oil stays in the pan. I also let it drain about 20 min to make sure it's all out.

Without the back end higher than the front, there will be 1/2 - 1 qt. of old oil left in the oil pan.
