    Post your latest oil change

    2017 Chevy Equinox, 3.6L V-6. 39435 miles, 2% remaining on OLM, about 6800 miles since last change. Previous blackstone report suggested I could increase to 7500, but I don't want to exceed the OLM. Also switched back to PP instead of PUP for the Dexos gen2 lower calcium. Out: 6 quarts PUP...

    PUP 5w30 6.5k miles, 2017 Equinox 32k total miles

    I am unfortunately not 100% sure... it was either PP or PUP.

    PUP 5w30 6.5k miles, 2017 Equinox 32k total miles

    They suggested 7500 miles on the last UOA, so I stretched it as far as the oil life monitor would let me. Got it down to 1% on the monitor, which ended up right around 6500 miles. Filter for both changes on the UOA was a purolator pure-one filter PL22500. This was my last one, plan on switching...

    Interesting issue, easy fix

    I've got a can of the DeOxit D5 stuff on the way. Should be enough, doesn't look like the moisture had been there long, so not bad corrosion. I'm going to examine the rubber connector boot/seal to see if there are any rips/tears.

    Interesting issue, easy fix

    Daughter in law called with her 2013 Hyundai Elantra making a strange buzzing noise. Opened the hood, started it up, and buzzing sound coming from the fuse panel. Opened it up and it was the coolant fan relay. Fan seemed to be turning, but relay was buzzing a lot. Swapped relays with another...

    2017 Equinox PP 5500 mile interval - First UOA.

    Thanks for the replies. So on the metal numbers, is that just standard for this motor? I had seen other reports where it seemed like something around 1ppm iron per 1000 miles was considered a "good" number. Is the silicon number high enough to suggest I need a better air filter? I'm using a...

    2017 Equinox PP 5500 mile interval - First UOA.

    Sample from a 2017 equinox, 5,500 mile interval, 26,000 miles total. Ran Mobil 1 for the first 15k miles, then switched over to Penzoil platinum for the last 2 oil changes. The iron / aluminum levels looked a little high to me, but I guess they are close enough to averages not to be an issue...

    Ruger EC9s

    Only real change I saw is that the sights are molded into the slide on the EC9S, vs sights on dovetails on the LC9S so you can change them out.
