GL8 Second Guarantee Experience

  4
 September 8, 2024
It has run more than 4500 kilometers since the first insurance on July 15 last year. Because the first insurance uses Shell oil (not high-grade synthetic oil), the mileage has not yet arrived, but half a year is up. Decide to do the second insurance before the Spring Festival. This time, the second guarantee still chooses the time Huachang 4S store near the unit, which belongs to the shop opened on the outskirts of the city. The number of people entering the shop is small, and there are not many people to maintain. Basically, there is no need to wait for maintenance. I like this feeling more. I don’t like the feeling of waiting in line.
This time I still want to find the little girl who will serve me at the time of the first insurance, but I heard that she was pregnant and transferred to Cadillac for reception. It’s a pity that the guy who received me today is a handsome guy. Obviously, this handsome guy can still upgrade the engine oil. When I proposed to upgrade the engine oil, unlike the little girl who said last time that it could not be upgraded, the handsome guy said that he could upgrade Silver Mobil directly. He only needs to make up the price difference of 210 yuan. This is the result I want! Last time, Shell’s viscosity may be slightly lower, the starting throttle is very light, and the power is good at low speed, but there is a dry roar when the speed is accelerated again, which is obviously the legendary “foot soft shell”, so this time we are going to replace the Silver Mobil 1 5w30 and maintain it for 7500 kilometers or half a year. The main reason for choosing Silver Mobil this time is the breast milk of Silver Mobil No. 1, which is known as the general engine.
Briefly evaluate the maintenance of this store, the basic fast guarantee speed is very fast, 2 people work very quickly, engine room cleaning can clean the engine room very clean. Let’s talk about the disadvantages directly. The gravity method screws the oil pan while the oil is still dripping slightly. I can understand it as saving time for our customers, but it is true that the old oil is not finished yet. I asked the maintenance master if I didn’t change the oil screw. The master said it was replaced a long time ago, probably in order to save money for the customer, so I canceled this charging item. This time the air filter and air-conditioning filter still did not take out to clean up, this should be possible.
Let’s record the process of maintenance.

Since the last maintenance has run more than 4500 kilometers, turn on the oil life, found that the life is only 47%, actually can drive, but obviously feel that the power is not as light as when it was first changed. So I decided to give the second guarantee in advance.

It is already raining, and it is still the time Huachuang 4S store, which is exactly the same as when it was the first insurance. But the oil can be upgraded this time. I’m happier!

Just in time for dinner, so go upstairs and try the Buick 4S working meal. This is the first time to eat roast chicken with sauerkraut, and it’s quite a meal. Leek bean sprouts and fungus raw melon are both regular dishes, relatively light, and steamed eggs are just right. Generally speaking, the lunch level is still good, relatively clean and refreshing, I am personally quite satisfied.

The LTG engine needs to match the 5W30 oil that meets the DEXOS 1 GEN2 standard, not the 0W20 oil on the 25s. This engine has a high temperature in the cylinder and needs strong shear oil to better protect the engine, so 5W30 oil must be used.

The car was driven to the station by the service consultant, and the masters went to dinner, so I waited for about 10 minutes.

The protective case against scratch paint is sponsored by Castrol, which now has a large presence in GM’s after-sales oil series.

After lunch, two repairmen came together to check the system of my car.

After the oil pan drain screw was unscrewed, the black old oil flowed out in an instant, and the fluidity was all right.

This time, the 5W30 engine oil of Silver Mobil No. 1 was upgraded at a cost of 210 yuan in the store, and this maintenance needs about 4.5L.

This Silver Mobil No. 1 5W30 oil has a kinematic viscosity of about 11 and has a general oil standard, so it is the breast milk of GM.

About 4.5L was added this time, and I took the remaining 0.5L back and left it in the car for the next maintenance.

I didn’t get the machine filter this time, and the repairman didn’t give me a chance to take a picture when he took it out of the warehouse, but he didn’t take it wrong this time. He took the imported PF64 machine filter made by the American champion.

Here is a wonderful moment to pour the oil.

4.5L is the standard capacity, fill half of the bottle after the large bottle is filled.

The repairman roofed the car again to see if the machine was leaking.

Finally, there is the cabin cleaning.

After cleaning, the cabin is very clean. I’d like to like it here.

After washing the cabin, the master blows with an air gun.

The whole process takes about half an hour, and the last project is car wash!

While I was waiting in line to wash the car, I slipped into the lounge, which was really clean and well decorated.

I happened to see his family’s promise. If you can fix it or not, fix it first and then change it. This content is a difficult and painful point for all 4S stores. At least time Huachuang 4S store did a good job and didn’t sell me any fee-based items throughout the process, which should be liked by this 4S store.
Since the oil has just been changed at the time of writing this post, the evaluation of this new oil will be left to Sanbao. However, from the feeling of maintenance at noon, this oil is really thicker than the first insured Shell, and the feeling of starting the throttle is not found for the time being. It is expected that this maintenance should be the last maintenance in the 4S store, the maintenance given by the original factory is over, and it is necessary to open the natives’ repair shop or roadside stalls for maintenance, but the natives have already prepared the oil they want to test. In the days to come, I will continue to record every maintenance of Buick GL8, and every post is a maintenance record, so that we can see how much I cherish the car.
