At what point "between" were you refilling them? (1/2qt, 1/4qt)
Did you ever overfill any?
What did you do if you did?
Further to my opinion, I don't want to keep or have a bunch of 1/2 quarts laying around in the garage. That kind of forces a wait until it's down to the 'full' quart low mark.
And if I'm in spitting distance of an oil change anyways, I'm not dumping a new quart in to drain it back out a month later.
That mindset is geared more to the darn near 10 qt capacity of the current fleet, being 10% low is a much different animal than 20%.
What 'more' are you referring to?
I'm not asking anything more than what the LS engine has been doing basically for nearly three decades.
They aren't spinning significantly faster, I doubt the loads placed on those components has changed significantly.
Even the oil weight has been the same since at least 2007, when 5w-20 was the spec for my Silverado. (The 2016 might be 0-20... don't fault the memory)
I wonder if a manufacture would ever do a 'limited' lifetime power train warranty, that covers more or less a long block, block (rotating assembly, heads, cam, LIFTERS, timing set) plus transmission internals.
I don't need an alternator, O2 sensor, radiator, etc. warranty, but if it requires a machin shop to fix...
Oddly enough, Kia (I think) used to offer something ridiculous on the power train, GM used to have a 5 year 100k power train, and some dealers offer 'engines for life' here. Without delving into the fine print...
Maybe I missed that...getting old. Yes, I would use Techron first then use the Chevron gas to help keep them clean.
Back in the day, I was a Service Manager for a BMW dealer and we would use the walnut shells to clean the exhaust port in the head, but, everything had to come apart and a special machine would blast the chamber with the shells and vacuum it out at the same time. It is not for a "Harry home owner" to do. I wouldn't bother if it is running smooth.
There my nickel. LOL
OK.... so I think it is fixed this time.
New updated program required to get this running is #PIT6504 dated Apr 1 , 2026.
Appears the applications cover numerous Chevy and GMC vehicles with fwd col, AEB, and LKA options.
Hopefully this helps someone out in the future with these issues.
