      There is a Chevrolet “bulletin” out there that states 2 1/2 qts of oil between oil changes is acceptable on the Duramax!!! It’s a low density steel ring issue causing the problem..
      Everyone driving a 2022 or newer needs to file a complaint with Chevrolet Customer Care. No where in the owner manual does it mention this problem. No one out there in “dealer” world will explain what’s going to happen when that $3000 particulate filter in the exhaust plugs up because their trucks are putting all this burnt oil particles thru the filter!
      Neither Ford or Cummins is having this problem. Don’t let the issue slide by. A $90k truck SHOULD NOT be burning oil. What happens when the truck gets a 100k miles on it?? Open a file with Cust Care!!

      Good luck dealing with customer care! I just had a issue with a Factory engineering defect with my Chevy Equinox that cost me $2028 to repair at a Chevy dealer. Customer care only relies on what the chevy dealer tells them. In my case the dealer service would not even reply to my Case with customer care. I had a Case #, my case has been closed without any alternative action available. 😡. The dealers don’t work for GM, there privately owned and only interested in making money. It took me 4 weeks of BS before it was a closed case. Fortunately for me I found a Class Action Lawsuit that was established a year ago for my same exact issue, I signed up for it.

      I own a 2022 silverado Lt, 2.7 engine. Last oil change was done at the dealer on 2/12/24 along with transmission fuel exchange, transfer case service etc (46265 miles). Last Saturday 4/13/24 I get on vehicle to drive back from work and an engine light comes on: “ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED”. I drive for maybe a block and stop to look up what this means in forums. One indicated that solution was to shut it off for 20 min and it would reset?! So I turn it off, waited 30 min, message was gone, yet engine light remained on. I could not log into onstar to see what code was showing and couldn’t for days. Had them e mail me info. Monday comes, I take it to dealer, they reset it and say they can’t find anything wrong, send me on my way. Light comes back on. i take it back. One week later, they say a different code came up they checked cables etc and noticed the oil was REALLY REALLY LOW! They did an oil change and send me in my way. I am to keep an eye on the oil level. They could not find any leaks , say that maybe a wire was loose and that is why the light for low engine oil didn’t come on?!

      Not sure what to make of all this, it has currently 50576 miles (so JUST out of warranty!) so $618 later I am not sure what happened to my truck but hope it doesn’t happen again!
