OEM sensors ONLY on GM vehicles. Especially oxygen sensors. GM has a TSB about this as well how other makes, even if claiming to be the "OE" sensor can cause all sorts of BS.
Carfax is at best a joke and more appropriately called a scam.
I've seen clean car fax cars that were wrecked and commanded a premium price because of the clean car fax, do a little digging and you find that it was likely repaired (botched) in someone's backyard and worth 1/2 what was paid.
Flip side, we had a new Explorer Sport Trac way back in 2003, someone hit and messed up the rear door and running board. Not a bad crash - a fender bender in all rights except it was't the fender it was the door. I made sure that it was professionally repaired, with genuine Ford parts, no Bondo, perfect paint match etc. No one would have ever know it was hit - except for car fax. Instant 1500.00 to 2000.00 hit at time to get rid of it.
A 'regular' appearance at the dealer oil change line means what exactly? What oil was put in it, how was it driven, environment, other maintenance, etc...
Meanwhile, Grumpys truck, the worlds best maintained, (probably) comes with extensive documentation that never makes it past the next buyer. Absolutely nothing on Carfax... suddenly it's the worst maintained.
Carfax is a cheap way for Big Data to sell a product to make lazy consumers feel better about their used car purchase. 'Buy Back Guarantee', good luck.
Carfax = the automotive version of Experian, Transunion and Equifax - junk big data, that no one is responsible for and only useful for extracting money out of the weakest player in the game, the lone consumer.
Bought my 2021 Silverado RST Double-Cab 2 months ago, and have done a few moderate upgrades.
She has the 5.3L L84 V8 & the 8 speed 8L90 Transmission with the Z71 Off-Road package.
I fixed the rear window cab leak already, added the PPE Transmission Fluid Thermal Bypass Valve, "Range" AFM/DFM Disabler Module, swapped out the stock transmission fluid with Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP Transmission Fluid, and upgraded the engine oil with Amsoil 5W30 & Long Life oil Filter. I just want ti to be mechanically sound, as of now I have about 37,500 miles on the clock.
Nothing fancy, photos below:
This used to be hard and fast but....some motors, Asian Metrics for example maybe like a half liter. The Ecotec 2.4 varies along the length of the hatched area due to a main cap girdle they are fit with occupying/displacing irregular volumes vertically an yet is still a quart from top to bottom.
I'm sure there are exceptions to the most common value of a quart so peeing on each others leg would be pointless.
Do your study and report back.
