TrailDemon have you check the level after they replace the oil line? You look like your 1/2 quart low on the stick now with that said if they replaced the line at the dealership then fill the motor with oil to the proper level on the stick and then started the motor the empty line and oil cooler will purge with oil (getting the air out) giving you about 1/2 quart down on the stick so fill it up to the proper level on the stick and keep an eye on it.

I did go over the oil leve days after and to me it looks like it’s missing more thn 1/2 quart ?

I've spoken to a good friend who is a 30 + year tech at a North Jersey Chevrolet dealer. So far he has seen two '19 Silverados with blown oil cooler hoses. He said to look for a yellow witness stripe

Jesus Christ man. What is going on with Chevy? Failing oil lines, water leaks, software issues? You'd think they were BMW, and not good old reliable Chevy. I'm a BMW tech btw, and our quality has gon

sounds like the best thing to do is run it until the engine seizes up.

Not an oil leak, engine burning oil now because of the oil line failure and blew all the oil out. Read the thread. 

I think the last few years have shown these di gm engines consume oil, some more then others. Just look at the couple post were forum members took the head off their engines and found oil/carbon deposits all over the valves and top end of the engine. A reason why many here have chosen to install catch-canisters to help reduce the oil build up.

first service at dealer 6500 miles no signs of any oil leakage anywhere including cooler lines and crimps, at least that's what I was told!

In looking at the cooler design, it looks like you may be able to replace the whole setup with an AN fitting/braided line setup.  The attachment to the block looks to be similar to the LS designs, When I have a chance I need to look at the attachment to the radiator.  Of course if you do this and mess up its all on you.  Other option is to do a delete.  We'll have to see if its an issue like the window....bad supplier or if it a design flaw do to pressure changes.  I notice that my Oil Pressure varies quite a bit while driving and that could be stressing the connection.

Can you post a pick, if you havent already. going through all the pages

Hey, got my oil sample back from a 3rd party after this oil cooling line blew all the oil out of the engine  and it came back good no traces of any metal.?  Good peice of mind to have after this incident. If this happened to you I’d recommend getting your oil tested too. Cheap to do for

2019 Silverado, 23.5k miles.  Oil Cooler Line fail.

Replaced line, refusing to provide CCL letter from the GM Customer Service folks...  Wondering who might I escalate this with?

Just wondering if GM fixed this problem or is anyone still having this problem with the cooler lines.

Funny you brought this back up because I was thinking about this the other day and it seems that they all posted the problem all around the same time and now we hear nothing.

 

I was down the dealership on 12-06-19 for the recalls on my truck and was talking to a friend of mine who is in charge of the mechanics in there shop and he said since they have been selling the 2019 T1 truck he has yet to have one come in the shop for a oil line failure, not one.

Haven’t seen anything for months on the FB group either. I don’t think this problem is as widespread as 17 pages would suggest, and probably no more common than it was on the last generation.

 

Now the window leak....that’s something!!!

2019 GMC Sierra at4 6.2 liter, 11,000 miles. Driving at 20 mph all of a sudden alarms going off saying turn off engine zero oil pressure.I immediately turned it off. Got out to look at it and notice all the oil pouring out the front bottom of grill. Called tow truck and back to dealer. Let’s see what happens.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
