BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

[Blueinterceptor]

If you are on the recall list and haven’t received the letter just get the regular 0-20W and wait until you get the letter.

I get that. But imagine I get an oil change 150$ out the door. Loss of my car for a day only to get the letter the next day for the recall. That’s why I’m pissed.

What recall is BS?

The way it’s being handled. The fix is the fix (as it may be). The oil cap thing can be painted over with a Ow40 wriien on it temporarily

This recall is bs. I have two that fit the requirements. Both are comming up on needing an oil change. I don’t want to drop 150$ on each just to get the letter for the recall oil change.

Ouch!
$150 for an oil change?
Where I live, I can get an 0-20w oil change AND tire rotation for $100.

What brand oil and what brand filter? There is some generic crap out there.

I can get you out the door for $87.99 using GM Dexos 0-20 and GM filter

There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, cannot make a little cheaper and the people who consider price only, are this man's lawful prey.

As far as I know, Dexos 0-20w.... Coupon at my local GMC Dealer, $99 for oil, filter and tire rotation. Local garage I use, approx $110 out the door for the same - oil and rotation.
I just thought the $150 as quoted by Blueinterceptor was a bit high, that's all.

Anybody that's had the test performed, care to comment on my post a page back? How long does it take; and can I wait for it?

I like this!

At work, we had a saying that convey's the same thoughts:
Price, Quality or Delivery -- Choose Two! (think about it)

Forget the letter. I scheduled my inspection a week before the letter was delivered in my mail. Just call your local dealer and give them your vin. As long as it shows in their system that the remedy is ready, they’ll schedule you in. They did this for me.

..that’s what I did
