Silverado EXT CAB LT1 5.3L V8 Sfi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles

Every time I take it back to the dealership where it was purchased, they reset the check engine light and within 24 hours, it comes back on. They said they have done the engine check and everything is ok. I took it to a separate repair shop and they could not find the "leak" either that would be why the engine light keeps coming back on. They reset it also and within 24 hours, it is back on. Surprisingly, the check engine light has not blown out! My worry is that when I really have a problem, I will not know. Otherwise, I love my Chevy Silverado!!

Silverado 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 500 miles

Bought a new 2009 silverado with 34 miles on it. It has burned oil from the start. I was told it was normal break in consumption. It has 36,000 miles and after the regular dealership oil change from a new dealership this time I brought it back to them after 1500 miles because of the normal engine ticking and they checked the oil and said it was 3.5 quarts low. We are doing the test now. They installed a splash guard and soaked rods to remove build up. I was never told how bad the oil problem was by the dealerships and had to put oil in constantly. There is a major problem with this engine if it is constantly low on oil damage must be happening to the life of the engine.
