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.

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...
