I wasn't trying to be cute. I'm cheap and the HPL EC is cheaper than quarts of VR&R because I had some on hand. Still have a few left. When they run out, I have a jug of odds and ends to get rid of. No science involved 😏

March into April was a slow month?  

Everybody figured the end of the world (eclipse) was coming, so they didn't have to change oil anymore?

Surely Grump had to do another drain and fill on Dizzy again by now?

Myself, I've got Valvoline R&R lined up for May.

Posting in Dizzy's build thread. I was just taking up space here. 😬 posting ever few weeks. 

 

A few days ago, another rinse and repeat at 241,000 miles. Changed the filter and oil. More Valvoline R&P 5W30 on 1K OCI's. Monitoring usage. Got some carbon grit in the last filter. No idea what that means.

Will have to find Dizzy's own thread. But they have plenty of room for both threads, and you rival the local Valvoline Quick Lube here.

242,000 Mile Service

Dizzy

 

4/13/2024

 

2015 GMC Terrain AWD Ecotec 2.4

 

1K OCI. 14 Oz makeup oil

 

5-quarts Valvoline R&P 5W30. No filter this time. Only 1K on the last one. 

 

9,430 miles using this oil. After usage getting worse for few changes, it recovered and is now holding steady lower but not earth moving. 

 

At this OCI it is just a bit over a quart in 2K and holding. Push the OCI and it does get worse. 

 

Tell ya what. I'd be upset if it were new and using at this rate but at this number of in service miles, I can do this for a very long time.

FYI, as of last week, select Walmart stores are now carrying the new Valvoline Restore & Protect motor oil in stock (formerly was shipping only) at the reduced price of $29.97 for a 5-quart jug and $10.77 each for individual quarts.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.

      That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
