    Oil Pressure - Am I paranoid?

    cold idle mines goes a little bit over 40...hot idle I would say in the 30s.. I have noticed the longer I go without changing the oil the lower the oil pressure gets as I drive. But soon as I change the oil and filter the oil pressure gets better... I usually go by the oil percentage to change...

Be mindful it is easy to accidentally crossthread one of the oil pan...

    Oil filter seized, destroyed

    I did not stick a screwdriver thru the case of the filter. The filters case started to twist just like a coke can..once that happens you have no choice but to remove the case unless you want to damage your oil pan

    Oil filter seized, destroyed

    I always use a thin coat of oil on the seal and I always have an issue removing the oil filter. I was able to finally get it off. Once the hosuing of the filter was destroyed I used a short and sturdy screwdriver and stuck it in the filter holes and that gave me enough leverage to remove it...

    I went ahead and ordered a GM upstream o2 sensor from RA to see if that will help. Searching thru the forum I did find a tsb that effects 2008. If it is a PCM issue anyway for a do-it yourself person to fix it? https://www.tsbsearch.com/GMC/08-06-04-045A

    yes the temp gauge read 210...when I let it idle it was after a 5-8 minute drive...anyway to tell if its in closed loop? if the o2 bank 2 sensor 1 seems to be reading incorrectly I can try DENSO 2344668 from RA?

    The upstream oxygen sensor brand was a duralast. This was the only one I could find locally. After replacing it the MIL comes on after 2-3 days after resetting the ecu. Been looking at rockauto to see if I should order another?
