  1. I am sorry to hear about your experience with your dealer. I would be happy to look into this for you. Please contact me privately with more information. Thank you in advance. Tricia, GM Customer Service. Thanks for the offer but they worked with me. I don't know what the service manual calls for but they said they put 6 quarts in and I am not sure if that is for a dry engine or if they filled the oil filter then added 6 quarts. Anyway they verified I was consuming oil and replaced the valve cover, fogged the intake and put some sort of deflector in the oil pan. They again over filled my oil according to the dip stick but after 1300 miles on this oil change I have not consumed any oil!
  2. I have a 2007 Sierra with AFM that gave me a low oil warning at 78% oil life and at 64%. I took it to the dealer to begin the oil consumption test and because of your post I checked the oil once I got back to work and sure enough a half inch above the highest mark. I called the dealer and informed them and now I have to take it back so they can drain the oil. This could have been a problem since this is during the test and after a 1000 miles it would have consumed the normal quart but they would not see it that way since it would have been a half inch up the marks. Also in the owner’s manual it indicates that it could cause severe damage to the engine it the oil level is above the highest mark. I am not sure how serious that high of oil level really could be but I would think a dealership should follow GM's own warnings.
