Re: Location of Aveo Oil Drain Plug?
OOOPS. You're right.
Just kinda weird to prime an oil filter on an Aveo. I understand dry starts and all, but I have never primed an oil filter on anything less than a sport car. The oil doesn't ever completely drain out of such a small car... there is lubrication. And the filter design is self-priming (just turn the car on). Oil sticks to the metal. You would have to physically wipe down the bearings and all to make them dry. Then you would have a dry start.
Either technique works, of course. Priming the filter is just playing it a bit ultra-safe. You are typically pouring the oil in the TOP of the motor. It has to drain through everything to get to the pan!
Also... how did you manage to put oil in the filter and KEEP it from pouring OUT, as the filter goes on SIDEWAYS on this car? That would be a good trick.
