Another 5.7 down

I can’t post a vid, but here’s a few screenshots of a dealer done service on my 16 Duramax. Never made it out of the parking lot before it puked all the oil onto the ground. Luckily I was just idling along and paying attention when the oil light came on. A guy should able to trust a dealer, but after this I don’t think I’ll be back. Cause was a double gasket on the oil filter.

I did a few oil changes on the wife's 2014 gmc 1500 5.3. Using ac delco filters and oil to make sure there was no warranty questions, Was in a pinch one day and took it to the dealership quick lube, it is a $8 difference for them to do it vs me.... And with them doing it there is a paper trail for warranty purposes.... So for that the apprentice can get a hand full of hot 0w-20 instead of me.

I’m biting my tongue so damn hard for that reason alone.. If it throws a rod and I’m doing the maintenance, I’ll be screwed. At least if they do it, there’s a paper trail. At least until warranty is up. Oil changes are covered as long as I own the truck, but once warranty is up I’m never going back. I don’t wanna go back now but I feel I should while it has warranty..

If you keep a record in that fancy book in your glove box, use the proper oil and filter and keep the receipts for them and do the service as scheduled they can’t deny warranty.
