    Engine Oil Overfill

    UPDATE: Took about 0.7qt out the top. Level now in range at top of crosshatch. No obvious issues. Oil pressure is about 50psi right after startup. After warmup pressure is 20psi at idle. and steady 40psi at highway cruise. Is this normal? Honestly never paid this much attention to oil...

    Engine Oil Overfill

    I have the tools and have done my own oil before. Unfortunately just not set up for it now. Honestly fine paying someone for it to build a relationship for bigger stuff and keep the truck in good order. Always found that a good investment. These last few years have just been real hard to find...

    Engine Oil Overfill

    Honestly never paid much attention to pressure readings before. I know they were always in range. Otherwise I'd have noticed. Best I can recall maybe 20-25psi (about 10 or 11 o'clock) was normal.

Service invoice says 6qt went in. Took a short drive, pressure seemed higher than normal (about 50psi)...

    1999 Tahoe/New in Eugene, OR

    Hi everybody. I moved to Eugene a few years ago with my '99 Tahoe. Great truck that I want to take care of and keep going a long time. Always kept it clean and do all the regular maintenance and repairs. Had a heck of a time finding a good shop to work on it around here though. I can't do the...
