NBS motors don't use that filter. Not sure if you can add it.

Thanks Tony. No wonder I couldn't find one for the 2000-06 That's ok it was cheap. That's great we never have to worry about our filter plugging up. Sure hope I got the correct Pressure sensor. Delco 12616646 three prong will find out tomorrow.

Did the parts guy say it would fit? Sometimes those guys are just full of BS.

I just walk in with part numbers and say do you have this one and how much is it. I usually know more than they do.

That’s what I do on the rare occasion I go to a parts store. I don’t remember the last time I had them look something up. The last time I even came close was calling an auto glass shop looking for the hatch glass from an 05-06 Tahoe with the wide trim at the top and no frame around the glass. I got so tired of explaining my truck was an 02 Denali so “that doesn’t do any good “ when she kept asking for my VIN. I guess it was completely confusing that I have parts from several years and models on my truck.

I order a lot of parts but with Napa and O'Reilly less than five miles away I still go to the Auto Store. I get most my P/N's off of ebay. It's also nice to have a GM Dealer close as well. Always fun to look at the new trucks while your getting your parts.

You gotta see the years I get to pick from on my Amazon list.
oil pickup oring or bad sensor, clogged screen is typical
There’s no screen on a NBS Brent. We just went through this.

I pulled my pan and found a bunch of metal filings. Pulled engine and found 2 spun cam bearings. It got a rebuild.
Damn. Do not like.

How many miles, and what year? Any idea what caused the failure?
Common occurrence if you live in Portland, Oregon. Up and down hills all the time cause the stress on the engine. Gotta change oil every 1000 miles to have a chance.

212k, 05 LQ4, I have been reading that it's a fairly common on the LQ4. Low Oil pressure is the leading contributer. It causes the center cam bearings to get hot and spin making a mess of things. The good thing is it normally doesn't take out the block and there are bigger OD bearings available for it.

Nothing to do with it.

Has nothing to do with living in portland.
I know it doesn't. I was just saying that to be a turd. I live in Eugene, Or. I hate even getting close to Portland. Ask me why as a PM. Also, when I said it, I think your location on your avatar said Portland. Did you change that since I posted?
