hey guys, I just started using PP in my 04 Echo a month ago. Funny things is, the car heat's up quicker now?? The car has a blue light to tell you the engine is cold and when on the overdrive won't come on. Since i went with PP i sweer that light goes off so fast.. can the oil be doing this...

Hey thanks for all the reply guys!! Yea the car still has warenty till next year.. did not think of that. So i guess ill go with 6 months OCI with a good dino oil. What do you guys think of Castrol GTX??

Here's my first Oil report!! what do you guys think? Had 50800km at time and oil run for 6000km Comments : Wear looks good and read in the proper balance in the first sample from your Canyon. Universal averages for the 3.5L are based on an oil run of ~8,300 km. This oil wasn't in use that...

well i do about 20000km/year and up here we have hot summer months and cold winter months. What do you guys sugest for this engine. This is my first GM so im not to sure. Was goin to go with M1 and not too sure about the filter.
