Vehicle has only been serviced by the dealer car was purchased from. Found out the dealer has been installing the wrong oil filter since the car was purchased. It's a long story, but here's the thread if you're interested. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...ter-installed-by-dealer-engine-damage.336589/
If you're not interested in reading a long thread, the summary is that the filter the dealer has been installing was incorrect and the filter was potentially being ran in bypass for all 24k miles on the engine. According to GM, it can cause engine damage as the oil will not be filtered.
I believe the engine may have a knock - there's a video in the thread above. Decided to pull a sample when I changed the oil to check for any signs of engine damage. I kept the old oil and filter incase it is requested by the dealer for any warranty purposes.
Oil was in service for about 5 months or so. The product # on the dealer service receipt suggests the oil is bulk AC Delco Dexos 5w30. The oil filter was also AC Delco.
We will be taking in the vehicle possibly this weekend to get it looked at.
How do I add the UOA data in code form for record?
Thanks.
