Heres a new one for me and didnt see anything when searched

 

I have a 2020 LT trailboss 5.3l today i went and changed the oil myself. Did it how ive done it for years. I drained the oil, changed filter, put plug in, and started to fill it up. Got about 6 quarts in it and was grabbing my last 2 quarts when the truck randomly beeped 3 times and the lights flashed. Thought that was odd. Finished filling it up. Was putting some stuff away in the bed and it did it again. 3 horn beeps with lights flashing. 

 

This is my 2nd oil change on this truck and the first did not do this. So im kinda confused. 

 

The truck was obviously off the whole time and the fob was in my pocket outside truck. All doors closed. Hood up and tailgate down. Im just curious if anyones had this happen? 

 

I turned truck in after.... it started fine. No lights or anything so im not sure what that was. 

 

Thoughts?

typically a three honk is the key fob notification, in this case it's just kinda odd.

Doesn't that remind you to reset the oil life timer on the instrument cluster?

Not sure. Is it Sophisticated enough to know i changed the oil? But i thought it might be this... i had already reset the dash tho. 

 

Plus it didnt do this my first oil change

Contact your local service dealer.

Just talked to them. They have no heard of it ever happening before. They said as long as i have no check engine lights and its running fine... it should be okay but to being it in if im concerned

I actually thought about that. But... truck had been off for probs 15 min as i was well-into the oil change. Key was in my pocket outside truck. 

Also the key in truck reminder is 2 or 3 immediate beep beeps 

 

This was beep. Pause. Beep. Pause. Beep.  Was much different. Plus this happened twice not just once. I never got back in the truck after the first beep either

only other thing I can think of where the horn comes into play is tire relearn.

 

I wouldn't stress over it, though.

Only if he rotated his tires himself.

Maybe while leaning over the truck to put oil in and in the back something in your pocket was pressing on the key fob?

Sounds like the Shock Sensor doing the warn away.  See page 34 here: https://chevytrucks.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-Chevy-Silverado-1500-Owners-Manual.pdf

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
