Reduced engine power right after oil change

2022 LTD LT 2.7T. I just changed oil by myself today. Right after I cranked up the engine after putting new oil, my truck rumbled a little bit then threw the “reduced engine power” on the DIC. I thought it just takes a little time for new engine oil to circulate (yes, I prefilled the filter all the time). I turned off and started the engine a couple of times and drove my truck but never noticed any actual reduced engine power but the check engine light is still on the DIC whenever I started the engine. I had changed oil and filter by myself for a long time and this had never happened before. Will the check engine light be eventually cleared, or once it is on, do I need a scan tool to turn it off even though it is not an actual problem? Or I need to take mine to the dealer for possible serious issues? Thank you.

It probably saw a low oil pressure after the oil change and threw a code, I can't remember but I think it's 5 ignition engine start cycles to reset the code if it doesn't see the issue again or you can get a scan tool to reset it.

Ya~ I think so. I don’t think there are serious engine issues throwing the check engine light after the “reduced engine power” message right after oil change because my truck has been perfectly fine and oil change went through as it was supposed to be….  Has anyone had the same issue before? Thank you.

If it was the P06DD for low or no pressure after startup, that really should only set if the filter wasn't pre-filled as the PI states.  Also, the PI doesn't mention anything about it stumbling or rumbling though.

 

Do you have a code reader to scan the code?

No I don’t have a code reader but like Silverado4x4 said the check engine light disappeared by itself and everything looks ok. Can I use a code reader later when it is available to know what happened or once cleared, I can’t?

It's the 0W-20!!! It's a conspiracy by GM to make your engine implode right after the warranty!!

 

I'm kidding...I just know this is going to turn into one of those oil weight threads.  As long as the engine is running fine and you aren't hearing any out-of-the-ordinary noises, run it for a bit and see if the CEL goes away.  Or make an appointment at the dealer - that'll always make that CEL go away, right before you take it in.

Not a conspiracy Kevin, it's a business model. Not driven by Warranty. Driven by C.A.F.E. and EPA. The reduced warranty miles over time the result of this reality. SAE20 has a wear rate about 30% higher than SAE30. A FACT that most will never notice given their buying habits. They never own one long enough to matter to them. 

 

OP's oil pressure problems based only on weight.... Not likely. But nice try 😉

Yea, as long as its still stored.  It might wipe it out of the history after enough cycles.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
