⚑ QUICK DIY TIPS FOR THE 2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO
  • Torque your drain plug to 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs) to avoid leaks or stripped threads.
  • Using the OEM filter (ACDelco PF2257G) is recommended for warranty compliance.
  • Always use 0W-20 Full Synthetic as specified by Chevrolet — using the wrong viscosity can void your powertrain warranty.
  • Check the maintenance schedule below for your next service interval.
