Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

[Murlo26]

Damn, that is some serious stuff to get an oil change done.

[cmspaz]

WTF, actually? Good on GM for standing up for their customers when their dealer's minions can't even stand up period.

[A//// Guy]

Im just so confused.

[Kracka]

Turning into quite the expensive oil change for them! Each of the three changes has and will include all new oil and filters. It's ridiculous, but Chevy is taking this very seriously, as they should considering they designed this car to attract new buyers, many of whom have never purchased domestic before. You lose those customers now and they're gone for good. I think part of the reason they're taking it so seriously is it is not an isolated incident, it's happening all over the country and causing numerous warranty claims. Either Chevy needs to revise the stated oil capacity to be lower [again] or better train the dealerships on the complexities of a dry-sump oil system.

[cmspaz]

I just don't understand how difficult it seemingly is to follow a few simple instructions.

[Halon]

What kind of oil does it get?

[polishmafia]

Mind blown. They are a dealership, not a Jiffy Lube, and their "certified" techs still can't perform a simple oil change?

Good on you for getting in touch with GM. I would be beyond furious.

[Kracka]

What kind of oil does it get?
ACDelco Dexos1 semi-synthetic 5W-30 (made by Mobil). Mobil 1 15W-50 recommended for racing.

[A//// Guy]

So are they filling it up to the wrong capacity listed on a computer or something, and not even checking the dipstick afterwards?

Semi syn vs full syn? That seems strange.

[Halon]

Cool. I know Ford factory fill now-a-days is also semi-syn as well (Motorcraft). Well for their normal cars at least, no idea on their performance stuff but assume it's the same.
