I recently had a pretty big problem with my G8. I blew a coolant hose and the car got pretty hot. I changed the coolant hose and ECT sensor and I burped it. While it was being burped it was jacked up and I recently bought some RP to do an oil change (was running Castrol Edge). So I decided to do...

Hey guys. I been having problems with the beauty.:whine: A few weeks ago I had lost about a quart of oil. I have no clue how it lost it. I had checked under the car for leaks and it was bone dry. I'm wondering if it could be the PCV valve or something else that can be causing the problem...

I was moving my trash can into my garage before pulling in last night and noticed a very shallow puddle under where my motor would be. I stuck my finger in the puddle and took a sniff... it's definitely oil. ABout a 2' x 2' puddle less than 1/16" thick. Enough to be alarming, but nothing...

Just a heads up, pepboys has 5 qts plus oil filter for 29.99 on mobil 1. There isn't a limit, so I got 10 qts and 2 filters (for the next change). Also I ended up getting extended performance since they didn't have any of the regular stuff in 5w-30.
