I’ve been a GM dealer tech for 20 years and seen this exact same scenario with this type of oil pressure concern at least 200 times. But hey, what do I know. Believe whatever you want to believe

Rocco how do you make a living for 20 years being a GM tech? GM’s never break and are the best.

DEEZUZ which category do you fit into?

Lots of former or has been or DIY experts

You've got to make sure the lifts stay lubed and go up/down reliably, that tool chests are clean and nicely organized, etc... Just in case a vehicle should come in.

So besides a good report, has this “issue” been resolved with different oil or what?

Here I was expecting to come in and see a "My engine blew today..." post.

Has absolutely no bearing on a GM product and a totally different engine/platform all together but fuck you.

Replacing the oil filter "elbow" gaskets on the wife's XJ brought "normal" oil pressure back. Meaning, the gauge wouldn't randomly shoot up to 60 or idle at 5 and is now a consistent 20-40.

Just about 6K on the M1 and M1 filter and no noticeable drop in oil pressure.

I've heard that the drain back valves in Delco filters have gone to shit. Wonder if that's part of it.

Well blackstone said the Amazon oil had plenty of life and nothing abnormal seen in the sample I think the GM oil filter is the only thing I could point at. 2 or 3 oil changes in a row with a GM filter and a noticeable drop in pressure at only 3K.

Edit: I was buying the GM filters on Amazon.

Hyooge issue with counterfeit Motorcraft parts on Amazon... I wonder in acdelco is the same

But you'll never know how it will react with 15/40 in it...

It was probably the filter and not the oil. Filter could also be counterfeit if bought on Amazon or eBay.

There have also been issues with counterfeit Hyundai/Kia OEM filters as well on Amazon and Ebay. I guess there is nothing China won't counterfeit.

Just changed the oil in the Tahoe this morning. Over 7,000 miles on the M1 and M1 filter. No noticeable drop in oil pressure.

Went again with the M1 and M1 filter from Walmart.

How would you notice it was counterfeit? Not like GM filters are "expensive" anyway. Bootlegging a $4 filter. lol
