So on a serious note, how is it normal for my car to eat that much oil in six months or so??? Isn't that weird?? I check irregularly and never had low oil at all

Idk the LLT is notorius for having oil disappear. I'll be lucky if I even get close to 5 qts when I empty it.

I think mine is, have to empty it pretty often...gonna buy a new PCV barb from GM since I drilled the holes in my bigger but think they might be too big which is causing all the oil in my CC, worth a shot.

Yeah supposedly rx suggested the wrong drill bit size which causes to much flow. Thought about it but didn't want to risk doing what you did. Sorry about that bad luck there. On a side note my catch can was hissing very loudly tried tightening the connectors didn't do anything the oil change seemed to fix it!

This past Saturday, an object got caught behind my caliper sounded like a train on its brakes i was so scared thought my front wheel was broken. I wanted to take my drunk friend's home it was almost 2 am. a cop was watching me get in and out of my car with my friends in the parking lot being spectators not helping me at all But I'm tired and want to get home. So we leave and the noise gets worse i pull over because it's so scary the cop follows and puts his lights on gets out and asks if everything was ok? I say no officer having a bad night, I'm the dd and my car is making awful noises. And he actually was a very nice guy helps me with his flashlight i find this metal shard stuck behind my caliper. Wouldn't had this issue if i had my Heritage wheels back on lol when winters here

Well the actual question is how much oil is measured on the oil dipstick? It can't be all of it is it? Like if it is at the full mark l, you have all six quarts. But if it is at the low mark, how much do u have left still?

That is what I am thinking. FedEx says that it has been delivered so there is nothing they can do.

Just talked to Jason. I am going to order a digital copy of the book, because I don't want to deal with FedEx anymore. This is the second time they lost an item of mine.


And it is not like the freakin thing was cheap. Cost me $256.

Before you go wasting even more money I would either talk to the people at that club house thingy or stop by Fedex and see if one of them can talk to the driver and figure out where exactly he left it.

well I need the book by Monday and I don't know how long all that will take. So I was going to order another book and if the other ones shows up, return it.

Also we already talked to the clubhouse last night. It is also strange that the signer of the package was name Easley (when you know Jason's last name). I know what fedex is going to say, that he signed for the package.

Then tell them why would he spell his own last name wrong and that it's not even his hand writing.

dude you have a V6? a friend of ours, Bossbunny had the same issue last year. Apparently the V6 has an issue with oil suddenly disappearing. Contact customer service.

yeah I know. This is why this wont be resolved quickly. I am going to submit a claim and have the clubhouse write up a letter saying they didn't receive the package.
