Replying to: loist (May 06, 2007 2:54 pm) Easy solution, take your car to a more reputable dealership that SPECIALIZES in Pontiac. I have had problems here in Calgary and most places...well...they're idgits... Have you checked the owner's manual? Start there. Aside from that the light should not be coming on. This would be a warranty issue. has the car been bagged? That could possible cause leaks but haven't heard anything like that on these cars. It seems with G6's, the small problems hammer these cars. What out for them.

My G6 is at 40,000 miles and there is a oil pan leak and a crankshaft seal leak. The dealership is giving me a very hard time with this. Has anyone else had this issue with their vehicle?

I did an oil change for a friend, she has a 2007 g6 coupe. I put about 4.25 qt of 10w-30 synthetic oil in. Although it says to use 5w-30, it should be ok right? also, how much oil are you suppose to put in? 4.5 qt? Replies to this message: mrn320 (Dec 31, 2007 9:42 pm)

Replying to: concealed (Sep 25, 2007 6:31 pm) I always change my 2005 G6 GT engine oil. With a Fram filter I use 4.5 qts and I always change filter on every oil change. I use Valvoline 5W30 because I prefer the lower viscosity in my climate range. I can't see any problems with 10W30 unless you have extreme cold temperature where flow would be an issue. Mike
#12 of 14 2006 G6 oil-life indicator by sleffert Jan 11, 2008 (10:10 am)
I purchased my 2006 G6 in July 2007. I had my first oil change in late August before I left for a 2500 mile round trip. About three weeks ago and about 6000 miles later my oil indicator finally said it was time for an oil change. I took my car in for the oil change and now, two weeks later (about 300 miles) my oil life is down to 84%. Seems like a huge difference from my first oil change. However, I live in Idaho and the average temperature is 10-28 degrees right now so I am thinking that has something to do with it. I only drive my car around town but 16% oil life used in 300 miles seems a bit extreme to me??? At this rate I will have to get an oil change at 1800 miles. Any input??
#13 of 14 G6 Convertible Oil Consumption by TomHorn Jan 11, 2009 (9:27 am)
My G6 is consumming 1 quart of oil every 2500 miles. I think this is excessive. The dealership says it is normal. Anyone know?
#14 of 14 g6 convertible chrome door sills by a022mil Sep 17, 2009 (9:59 am)
How do you keep these door sills from denting--they are not covered by the 3yr-36000 warranty the dealership said in Toledo, Ohio. (Brown Pontiac) It costs $100 to get new ones put on!
