You are correct, Somewhere around 25,000-30,000 miles there was distinct mis-fire at idle, you could actually see and hear the sparks jumping to the exhaust manifold thru the plug wire boots !!! I found 3 of the wires were cracked/broken from heat from the manifold. This happened on the both sets of GM wires so I installed Aftermarket wires with heat shield covers, No problems since !!!

Is there a gauge for the Oil temp? How can I tell ? 2012 GS. Thanks Bill

No gauge, Just scroll thru the DIC, you will see oil temp, trans temp, water temp etc displayed

Ahmer

You GUYS CAN SEE YOUR TRANS TEMP????

I'd say you could get a millions miles if you wanted to. Just as you said, regular maintenance will do the job. There are lots of chevy trucks on the road with a million+ miles.

Living in a throw-away society, along with the auto industry's persuasive techniques on convincing people that 100k is "high milage". Dealerships thrive and make a living off of that notion.

I believe that is correct, at least on the Auto 6.

Thank-you Very Much. I found it. So this morning I drove to work with it on. It was a little chilly around 50 degrees here in San Diego. I drive about 25 miles to work. The read out was 160 when I started and 183 when I got to work. Is there a level that I should keep an eye on? How hot is to hot? How cold is to cold?

Coolant will get up to normal (190-220) pretty quickly. Oil takes a lot longer, depending on how you are driving. I want to see 180 on my oil before having fun, ease off if it gets above 250. Those numbers came from a retired oil engineer.

Some people with the big oil cooler say they never get to 180 oil on the street. GM has been switching to a coolant/oil system in recent years, which actually heats the oil when it's cold and tends to keep the oil around 190-220 on the street. To me, that's a hint that romping on the throttle with low oil temp is not a good idea. Just my idea, nothing official.

If you have the air/oil cooler visible in front of the radiator, you can make and gently install something to cover it for street driving.

I think I might have been the original owner. She's looking good!
