Hi all,

 

First post. Didn’t see a welcome thread so just going to start here. 
 

day two with my new truck, which I am loving btw. Really like the looks and just seems like a good truck overall. 
 

so I decided to go underneath and snoop around like any guy would under his new truck and I noticed a bit of oil hanging off the bottom of the filter and a bit on the bottom of the pan as well.  Hmm not going to worry yet. Maybe a bit came down the filter upon assembly? It’s not loose but could it be gorilla tight! And odd it’s on the pan too?

 

I will attach a few pics. Anyone see this before?

 

thanks all.

Plenty of times. New vehicle or not it is something that can happen with oil filter seals.

 

I'd just clean it up and check back in 100 miles, if it leaking again then the filter should be swapped.

Yeah that’s what I did. Wiped it all clean and will re check. I’ll update

I always do an early oil change on a new vehicle anyway. And hand tight, which for me is pretty tight, has always been good. I’ll go under tomorrow to see. 
 

I will say I’m liking the mileage so far. Drive back from the dealer returned 14.4mpg which was 65-70 which for having under 10 miles on it is awesome for a 7k plus pound truck. 
 

my last truck I also bought new and it was a Tundra and that only got like 11.2mpg in its maiden voyage. Granted that was during the winter but still. 
 

today I touched 20mpg going 65-68 for the few miles I had to go. I’m impressed and the truck only has 160 miles now.

I’ve been regularly getting between 17.5 and 18.0 mpg (indicated overall trip average) on a long drive i repeatedly make on rolling, sea level terrain aiming to stay around 65-68 mph.

so it was just residual oil drip from the change?

 

I am not sure. Truck is brand new. Took possession with 7mi on it. Not sure why some oil was on the bottom of the filter and a bit on bottom of the pan too. It hasn’t returned so it’s not leaking. Which I’m thankful for.

I believe there was a bulletin stating that the original spec was snug, then 3/4 turn; it was updated to snug, then 1 full turn.

 

Found it: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10209921-0001.pdf

Thanks for the info. I am also facing the same problem. I was actually searching for this https://www.grabmyessay.com/scholarship-essay-writing-service website online because I want to read reviews for an essay writing service. And when I was searching for it online, I also found your post link on google search.

Mine is still dry so I know mine isn’t leaking. No clue why it was there probably from factory but since I wiped it off it hasn’t returned.

So I was watching this TFL video on their new ZR2 Silverado and at 7:20 in there is a bit of oil on the bottom of the filter and they mention it. Same as mine had from the factory. Weird.

      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-

      OCI, not when but why?

      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?

      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.

      It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
