Yes, it is a 2017 Canyon with the LGZ. Prior oils were either Mobil 1 5W-30 or Havoline Lifelong Full Synthetic 5W-30.

I put VRP in my 130,000 mile V6 Canyon that had started using a quart between changes. It is almost time for the first change since the VRP and it has lost no oil. VRP apparently cleaned up clogged oil control rings in just OCI. Now if will clean the direct injection caused deposits on the...

The GM 3.6 V6 gets a lot of hate on the internet, but my 2017 GMC Canyon has 135,000 trouble free miles. I bought it new and the only thing I have done to it is replace the spark plugs and the thermostat. I change the oil at about 15% left on the oil minder using whatever Dexos synthetic 5W-30...

From the looks of most of the cars he works on, most folks don't bother with rust proofing. I regularly see 5 or 6 year old cars with less than 80,000 miles with holes in the frame you could stick your fist through.

Before my rural area got fiber optic internet it would take 2 or 3 hours to upload a 4 minute video to my YouTube channel. I would start the download just before I went to bed and it would upload while I slept. Now with highspeed internet the video is finished uploading before I can type out the...

It is snowing and accumulating here in North Florida this morning. It is expected to continue all day and reach 2 or 3 inches by nightfall. Lake Charles, La. is under a blizzard warning!

That 472 was a torque monster, 525 lb-ft.. I would put it in a vintage hot rod and go cruising.

I ran into the wife of an old friend I had not seen in a couple of years last spring in the garden department of Lowe's and asked how he was doing. She told me he had Alzheimer's. I went to see him the next day and he had no idea who I was. I got a call from his wife this past weekend telling...

Yep. Over fifty years ago, early in my shade tree mechanic career. I didn't check to see if the gasket on the old filter stuck to the engine and my wife drove off only to call me that the oil light came on. Lesson learned. I check the gasket every time since then.

Yep, you can tell who their target customers are.

His voice is irritating, but what bothers me is this: Once I saw that growth on his lower lip I can't unsee it.

Which I find odd because they are made on the same assembly line as Chevrolet (at least the US made ones) with the same drive trains. And Chevrolet scores much lower in the same survey.

And once he find's it or has a new one made, have him put an air tag on his key ring so he can use he phone to locate it.

Unless I could find my old GTO I wouldn't care about matching numbers. If I bought one I'd do what you did, make it a modern driver. The original drum brakes were horrendous. In my dream car I'd put a built 455 Pontiac engine in it too.
