I know the 3.5 can burn oil. My 00 GLS, approaching 80k has started to need 1-2 additional quarts between 3k oil changes which is new. Any body else have similar consumption???

Replying to: Martypa (Sep 01, 2006 4:46 am)  97,000). Kept taking it back to the dealer to have them document and check the oil until the extended warranty ran out (75K). The mechanics always gave me a funny look, as if to say, yeah, it's crazy, but that's the way it is and we can't say anymore. The dealership people just said that's normal for the engine. What they didn't say was what I recently read on this forum...something about the fact that the aluminum engine is the cause (don't know if this is the only reason, but it did make sense). The bad part of the oil consumption problem was that I had no idea I needed to check the oil on my relatively new, low mileage vehicle between oil changes (more than just once!!)... could have caused huge damage...I learned to pay attention to all those warning lights!!! |

Needed to replace my wiper blades recently, thought I'd pass along some info. The OEM blades are the typical black-metal frame style. They worked OK except that sometimes at highway speeds they seemed to lift occasionally and were an absolute disaster in winter. The frames froze with ice and that meant the blades wouldn't flex, which in turn meant that they didn't contact the windshield. Not good. Last year I replaced the OEMs with a set of aftermarket Canadian Tire "Aerofoil" blades. These looked like a wing and instead of the multi-piece metal frame they had the blade mounted to a continuous length of springlike metal. These did well in winter, but the blades themselves were absolute crap and were useless after about 9 months. Yesterday I went back to my dealer and found a sympathetic parts guy. I asked him if the new OEM style blades GM is now using on the W-body would work on my Intrigue. He didn't know, but went out back and came back with the 3 choices he had to offer: the original Intrigue OEM metal frame type, the new GM OEM type as used on the LaCrosse and Impala, among others, and an AC=Delco replacement type, which I immediately dismissed as ugly and clunky. The new GM OEM blade looks something like the Aerofoil blades I had, except the exterior is all rubber, almost like a winter blade, but with a raised lip on the trailing edge. A very clean look. He let me open one up and try it for fit, and it fit perfectly, so I bought a pair. They look and work great. Different part #s for either side: 10350075 and 15146561. Paid $17.96 Cdn each. Hope this helps someone. |
