    Video of a 2020 1.5T engine tear down

    This engine was supposedly out of a 2020 Chevy Malibu, so it will be an LFV version as opposed to the LYX 1.5 used in our 2018+ Equinoxes. I believe the mechanicals are the same between the two. Pretty cool to see the disassembly and internals.

    Fram Endurance oil filters

    I ran a Fram Endurance oil filter on my 2021 Equinox 1.5T for this past oil change. 4500 miles on the oil/filter and ~44K miles total on the vehicle. I ran Valvoline Restore & Protect 0w20 FWIW. This is the first Fram oil filter I've used in over 20yrs. I have to say I am very impressed...

    It really is amazing how complicated things can get over something as simple as a corroded/bad wiring connection. Kind of hard to believe dealer service wouldn't inspect all the visible exterior parts of the taillamp harness first. This is apparently after multiple dealer visits, but this is...

    2021 Equinox transfer case and rear differential gear oil changes

    I did drain and fills on the transfer case and rear differential on my 2021 Equinox LT AWD 1.5T today. I'm just shy of 36K miles on the vehicle and I just bought it used a couple weeks ago. I drove it up on ramps for the t-case drain/fill. The drain plug is towards the rear, out in the wide...

    What 35K mile ATF looks like on a 2021 Equinox

    I did a series of drain/fills on my new to me 2021 Chevy equinox LT AWD at 35K miles. This vehicle was a lease return with regular dealer service and oil changes every 5K miles per the car fax. I've done a lot of ATF changes in my day and I believe this was the darkest, nastiest looking...
