I think I paid about $35 CAD, at AGAT Labs. After exchange that equal to about $25 USD. They are near by with after hours drop off so I don't need to pay additional shipping. Maybe its increased, I haven't received my invoice for latest sample I think the sample collection containers are...

It appears the dealer doesn't use the ac delco oil. Any guess what they would use. Engine just had lifters replaced. Wear metals and contaminants look good, but viscosity is out of range. This doesn't look like fuel dilution was flagged. Not sure why it was not in the report.

A lot of my health problems are due to back pain. I have been for multiple MRI, Bone scan, & seen a surgeon MRI report reads T11-L5 -multiple disc bulges, Moderate to severe disc disease, disc osteophyte complex bulges. The area that's bothering me is L5-S1 where there is severe Bilateral...

Having some pain issues related to inflammation. supposed to be a healing process for the body, burning off rogue cells etc. I often go 18-24 hours without eating from noon until next morning

Never have really needed to. I was keeping busy sweeping and puttering around in my garage yesterday, but nothing strenuos on my days off. I had a job that kept me quite active and wore the same size style Jeans from the time I graduated (1990), up until about 5 or 6 years back. I still wear...

It might be bad timing in holiday season, but I am 52 and single. Living alone there is no one else tempting my willpower as I watch them eat. However the photos I glanced at on here are somewhat testing me. Not really too badly overweight. Around 175-180 lbs @ 5 ft 7 inches.

Nothing. Currently 32 hours into an autophagy fast. Testing my willpower to see if I can get through the day. I have heard there are benefits to long term hunger, and going to see if I see any benefits. 18-24 hours in the hunger pangs were getting pretty bad, and cravings were tempting. Went...

Yes. I think the service man that was sent on the holiday callout was incompetent. If it was a pressure switch, he should have been able to bypass it and get a temporary fix to get heat going. I recently had issues with a 16 year Trane XV95. I had the installers manual, and there were test...

The lifter job was performed at Chevy dealership 4500 kilometers ago. They changed fluids after the repairs. He typically runs 8000 km OCI. Pulled a sample midway through to determine if there might be any residual contaminants from prior work. Unlike my vehicle, this is the first sample...

I am not even sure if the smaller diameter would make a difference. Even pushing the dipstick in, it seems like it binds and have to twist it a bit to get it to slide in. I have never pulled a sample from my Ford using the extractor, just took a sample while draining. With the Chevy 6.2L...

My son just recently had to do a lifter replacement on a 2018 Chevy Silverado with the 6.2L L 86 engine, with about 91,000 miles/ 146,000 km. We didn't change the oil, & I thought we should be able to pull a sample from the dipstick tube using a 38 U series Vampire vacuum pump and the 1/4 inch...

They had the truck out and back on the road within 5 days. I tried to contact the service advisor after the job was complete and paid for to see if they have any input on the cause. They never even returned my calls. They rebuilt/ replaced the top end lifters. Didnt require a cam shaft. His...

Newest samples are at the top. Initially I pulled a 1st sample at about 98000 kilometers... Roughly close to 60,000 miles. Then continued to drive it with that same oil a little over a year. Pulled a 2nd sample at around 137,000 kilometers, dropped the pan, replaced filter and topped with new...

Deleted comment and added note as a reply.

They replaced his lifters, claiming it was a failed lifter. They sent some of the parts home, I don't physically see any issues with the lifters, all the rollers are intact. They didn't send the valve lifter springs. My hypothesis: He drives it for best fuel economy and doesn't put his foot...

I change my plugs every 100,000 kilometers on my 2018 F150. I have removed the hose from the intercooler & find a bit oil oil, but nothing alarming. I have never changed the boots, but think a CEL would come on if any issues with them. The CEL only came on once & I needed to replace a Oxygen...

Is it safe to use Seafoam in all fuels & all models of vehicle. What is the active makeup of these products, and is one better suited than others? I have recently noticed a engine shudder on my F150 3.5 ecoboost, & first going to try cleaning the 3 Mass airflow sensors with CRC product. I am...

He got it out of the shop. Total was around $8800 cad, which is still high. If it would have needed cam replacement add another $6000. But I am not sure if they done oil change. I called them to ask if it's something that should be done with tip end engine work. I need to show him how to do...

How do you pull it out of there in a state of disasembly? Still going to be charged shop labor on what they have done, then hope all parts are accounted for or next shop be questioning you. It's a certified Chevrolet shop, they should all be held to the same standard. Hopefully there is a...

With their estimate they sent out stock photos showing cv joints and brake rotors. Not very hapoy with this shop. He initially took it to a Mazda dealer to get the code reader and an initial diagnosis, just because it was right next to his place of work it was parked after first experiencing...
