#54 of 58 Re: 2009 aveo 5 LS Oil Change [ecotec2009] by waxman555 Sep 23, 2009 (7:08 pm)
Replying to: ecotec2009 (Jun 08, 2009 10:32 am) I think it is funny that so many people find the cartridge oil filter, and Torx fitting so strange. It is important to remember that this entire car is a GM/Daewoo design. And was built in Korea. These traits we all find so crazy are what "World Class" cars have. Not that my Aveo is world class, :] but most manufactures have embraced the global economy. GM knows it cannot ship Aveos into Europe or Asia with spin on filters and regular old drain plugs. The car will be a hard sell to begin with in those markets. That is why they badged it as a Chevy or a Pontiac. For the brand recognition. They are trying to incorporate the traits that non-North American car companies have adopted. Some call it "Going with the flow" or "Smart marketing". I call it "Just trying to stay alive". Anyhow, the 1.6l Ecotec is a proven platform for Daewoo, and is quite honestly a pretty good engine.   If anybody has looked under the hood of the $55k Caddy's of today, you will find the same cartridge oil filter in the 3.6L DI engines. And all the L-850, LNF, and LSJ Ecotecs also use it. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks all for listening.

#56 of 58 Oil Change for 2009 Chevrolet Aveo by snooter Nov 04, 2009 (11:10 am)
Seems like everyone has fun with this one. I called several places to get an oil change. I took it to Wal-Mart waited over an hour and they finally told me that they didn't have the filter or the tool to remove the oil plug. I left my car sitting at home for a week until I read the information on this website. Now I can get the right socket and change my oil. And it will cost me less than it would to take it to the shop. THANKS.

Replying to: murrayj1810 (Nov 01, 2009 12:47 pm) Looks like I missed a couple filters   Service Champ WP981 Valvoline V098 Mighty M-981   I believe that most of these filters for the Aveo/ G3 are actuall made by Champion, Purolator or Wix - note the similarity in number

Replying to: flaaveo (Feb 05, 2008 9:27 am) Re: Nissan engine, several years ago Nissan went bankrupt and the only folks that would take them was Renault of France. You can see the French influence in the design of some of their vans, that is why they are soo UGLY.   When you buy a Nissan you are buying a Frog car.   Most nissan dealers do not like to admit this.   Texasjack
