Jelly, Delo 400 comes in grades beside 15W40. It also comes in 10W30.
And once my warranty runs out that will cost me how much? OUCH! I'm not sure I want to give that too much thought!quote:
So image if you were running cheap dino and 87 octane gas. You might be getting a rebuilt engine from Toyota now even with 3k OCI. And they swear they don't have a problem
Actually initial they refused to cover this under waranty. Now it's a special coverage against engine geling for 8 years. BUT on those initial not covered ones. To clean out the engine ran $3,000 if caught early enough. A new engine ran $8500. Yeah. Problem I have is I keep cars 10 years and expect to with this one.quote:

I believe the official number of effected engines counting the 3.0 L v6 and the 2.2 L 4 is 3.3 Million.quote:
There must be hundreds of thousands of them out there!
I have a 1997 Lumina 3.1 with 83,000 miles on it. I bought it new and had never heard of the intake seal problem till I read about it here. So far mine is original. Based on what people on here tell me, it will fail eventually.quote:

I know alot of people who had GM vehicles with the 3.1, 3.4, and even the 2.8 V6 in their cars, and have never heard of the intake seal problem. Jason
...but if that happens at 200K, I don't think you'll mind, right?quote:

Right! I don't know how long these intake seals last on average.quote:
