Yeah checking the forums and what everyone is saying on here, definitely sounds like a blown stereo unit/electrical issue in the stereo unit. I got my battery replaced again yesterday for free just to rule that out, same issue. To the dealership it goes, I don't want to load up the parts cannon...

Interesting, what would cause this, and what would I be able to do to get the sensor to realize the new battery?

That makes sense, I have never paid attention to the charging habits/voltage before this unfortunately. The stereo is completely stock - but definitely doesn't like the 12.5v all of a sudden - guaranteed to stop working once it hits 12.5 and won't recover until a full power kill. Any ideas for...

That sounds reasonable, would this show up in an advanced OBD scan? I have a cheapo $20 scan tool for CELs, but I can take it to AZ for a scan

Here's a weird one for you guys and TLDR: New battery, voltage is 12.5 and radio glitches with headlights OFF and 13.8-14.2 and works OK with headlights ON 2015 Camaro V6 6 speed manual The car was taking awhile to crank, so a few weeks ago I got my battery tested at AutoZone and they replaced...

I have a 2015 Chevy with an LFX. After owning it I personally believe it's a great engine, and if you look online people will generally say it's a very reliable engine overall. The first few years had timing chain issues due to the OLM recommending too long of intervals, but with proper...

The filter looked fine, although I chose not to use it because of the poor quality of the O ring. Yeah I should've clarified, I hadn't noticed until now haha

True that. I've been living in a bubble of filter complacency lol, this whole thing made me rethink paying more attention to where I get filters/what filters I get. I guess I'm glad it happened before a filter ever caused me any problems

I'd say it was a little less than a year old. You're right though that it was in a garage which gets hot as hell (I live in Phoenix, AZ) during the summer. You think that could cause it? 🤔 I usually buy a filter as I need them, so I don't have much experience storing them. I'll probably keep in...

I know it's not in the right groove 🤣 down to the thread is as far as I was able to install it before I disintegrated, I didn't even bother seating it properly in it's groove because it was already a goner. That's why I chucked and it went to Wal-Mart for an AC Delco

I only buy the Oscar Meyer mystery meat hotdogs, I've never tried the all beef. Nathan's are the only beef franks I buy, no reason to look elsewhere. With that said, I do believe OM is going downhill and has been for a while. I lived by a huge OM plant in Madison, WI my whole life, and they...

That's true, I'm at 76k miles on the car and about 15k on these spark plugs, but the rest of the ignition system is original. I'll try cleaning them like you said first, since the coil packs are $60 a piece on RA. If there was a bad coil/plug/boot, would the computer be able to pick up that just...

I got the revs up to nearish redline twice since while going down on-ramps and such, just to see if it caused any problems, which it didn't. Otherwise just mostly a normal mix of city/high way driving to and from work. I think I'll clean the MAF - I've had problems with MAFs in this car since I...

Hey guys, here's one for you. I have a 2015 Camaro V6 with the LFX engine. 5-6k OCIs, well maintained in general and doesn't have any ongoing issues Yesterday I get off the highway after some spirited driving and a few stop lights later I get a super rough idle, blinking check engine and...

Check the vacuum pump, when I start my car, the vacuum pump buzzes for 5-10 seconds. Not sure if it's supposed to, but it's always done that. This is what it looks like (different model, and mounted vertically) I think if the fluid is 17 years old, that could cause all kinds of problems on its...

I think if you got the O ring on without disintegrating, you're good. Even if it did fail it would all be encased in the seal groove. Definitely should not be happening though because that coating fell into the post-filter parts of the housing in my case. I had to clean the entire housing. Total...

Not sure unfortunately, I wish I took a pic of the other end of the filter cap. I chucked it and it went to Walmart with the GFs car to get an AC Delco 🤣

I'm not as knowledgeable about oil filters as some of the other people on here, if Mann/Purolator makes the Mobil 1 filter, do you know who makes the AC Delco filters? They've always been perfect for me

Interesting, I wonder why any o ring would do that. I'll probably stick with AC Delco - a trip to Walmart mid-oil change is my punishment for fixing something that wasn't broken lol

First time I've ever seen anything like this. I've been using AC Delco filters for the past 6 years or so, but decided to put a Mobil 1 filter on, which I used to use on cars I don't have anymore. I get the AC Delco filter off, start putting the O ring from the Mobil 1 filter on, and it...
