Definitely not stoned, employment-required drug testing prevents that.  Thanks for paying my $200 drivers license and vehicle registration renewals, by the way, never formally thanked everyone.

 

Why is it so hard to comprehend that the OLM is designed to get most of the engines through the warranty, and not actual longevity?  5k miles max on full synthetic, which on mine come to 60-65%.  Otherwise, reap the consequences.

You are completely full of crap.  I have a UOA done every other oil change.  I change my oil when the OLM is a t 10% - 15%.  My UOA's are freaking spot on!  Blackstone has recommended I can go to 8500 miles if I wanted to.  I don't, but the oil is still performing perfectly.

Took my 2017 Chevy Silverado z71 to the dealer today . Engine was ticking on top end sounded like a lifter tick and slight deeper knock in bottom end . oil presure was all over the place would go from 65 psi to 25 psi at same rpm. I have 44,000 miles. Has anyone else had this issue?  With the strike in play who know how long I will be without my truck.


Swap out your oil filter with a Napa Gold and see if you’re still having this issue

I heard Supertech 0w 20 was better than Amsoil, is that true?

I wouldn’t bring up oil in these forums unless you can deal with actual proof, Amsoil and Redline are the best in engine performance but as long as you’re using a really good oil and changing it inside 4K miles along with a great synthetic oil filter like Napa Gold for short intervals or Wix XP for longer intervals (both capture as small as 20-21 microns) you’ll be good. It’s what goes on between and during the oil changes that matters.

:lurk:

 

Seriously, regardless of what dukedick said, it musta just been bad karma due to the OP not wearing a Chevy shirt every NASCAR Cup Sunday.  :chevy:  Posting for a friend . . . 

 

To the OP, too bad about your bad luck there.  Hope you are able to get your truck fixed as good or better than new soon!  As I've been saying, even great maintenance cannot always make up for bad parts.

One more tid bit... I have my oil changes done at the dealer with their bulk oil and GM filter.  

I am NOT trying to start another oil war!

Okidoki, let’s agree to cut the talk about which oil or oil intervals, not going to get anywhere but argumentative. I recommended changing his oil filter out for a Napa Gold in hopes to help with his oil pressure. I’ve heard people having issues with that crap cardboard factory filter either clogging up or breaking apart.

Dude had a lifter collapse per a few posts up.  No oil could have prevented an AFM lifter failure.  Luck of the draw.  VLOM solenoid failure, oil aeration, faulty lifter, etc.  Shite happens.  Low miles, high miles.  Some never have an issue, like the farmer with 150k we have who idles all day long, lets it run past 0% and uses our GM bulk Dexos oil.      

 

All I see in here is a giant Amsoil brigade ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Lots of people enjoy high quality products with exceptional results while others just get by. You’re correct, luck of the draw, when it happens it happens but most happens to the purchasers of used vehicles that have no idea about past maintenance. Whether you use Amsoil or not, good maintenance is a must with anything with moving parts, especially AFM equipped vehicles.

Got the call from dealer it's a collapsed lifter no parts available. 

No parts available? What, they have a run on lifters all of a sudden? Either BS or more folks having that problem than they let on.

GM strike, my local shop has a truck waiting on a bearing as well.  Won't see them until the strikes done.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
