The ‘17 Sierra 1500 6.2L idle is a little weak and its knocking or ticking some. This is the first time I changed the oil, other times by dealer. Oil pressure looks normal.

 

I put in the required 8qts 0w/20 dexos 1 Gen 2, dipstick is fine, put on the a new oul filter (same as others), and all Acdelco as it has been. Do these motors take a little bit to run correctly after an engine oil change? Never had a motor do this.

Try some CRC GDI  I put a can into the intake just before every oil change and all of my stumbling goes away.

Was it doing anything differently before you changed oil?

Nope.

this freaking dipstick. It’s reading above hatch mark now and below the dot by the tip on the other side. That’s a huge difference.

And was after I took 16+oz out, basically a little over a quart. I gotta imagine there’s quite a bit left in there even after draining for 30 to 45 minutes, becuase the new oil is dark when I drained that amount. 

 

So I have 7quarts new in there, plus whatever was left in the system from the drain, puts it over hatch and under tip dot. Freaking baffling dipstick and changing oil is not something new to me.

Lets keep this simple to start with.

8 quarts with a filter change is normal right?

Owners manual info.

Oil change will not cause motor problems.

It just decided to have a problem at that time IMO.

I would start here.

Put some Sea Foam in the gas tank and clean the throttle body.

Drive it and see what happens.

My guess is putting 8qts in with the stuff left in the system was causing a lifter or something issue. I took a qt out and the noise went away. I hate how the dipstick reads. 

After sitting over night, the hatch mark side, inserted facing the firewall, showed plenty over top hatch. I took out a qt and its still over hatch and the opposite side of the stick reads at below the dot by tip. Say what? 

I think this stick reads weird.

No lights or DIC oil warning.

6.2L = 8qt

and diyer2, an oil change can cause motor issues e.g., too little, too much will cause issues.

Just shy of 19K. Noise went away with taking 1qt out. Have no idea whats really in it now, but my guess is even after draining for 45mins, there’s at least half to 3/4 qt, maybe more, old oil in there given how dark the new oil was when I took out the qt. There has to be a lot of places for the oil to sit in these motors. I drained the pan and then took the filter off and oil just gushed out from the filter tube. So I can just imagine areas where it sits and cannot flow down on its own.

I'd just leave it how it is now and just put some sea foam or additive in the oil like Lucas oil additive

No need for fuel addivtives or fuel cleaners. I’m 99% sure the noise was due to oil being over full. It’s incredibly stupid how different the dipstick will read from 30mins after running the motor to a few hours later. Just need to figure out this freaking dipstick so I can get real oil readings. Annoying shit.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
