These ERRORS Destroy GM's 6.2 V8 And Are Only Known by 1% of Drivers (DISCOVER THEM NOW)

Your Silverado’s 6.2L V8 can be damaged by mistakes GM already warns about in the owner’s manual — and some resulting repairs may not be covered by warranty. In this episode of Car Owner Alert, we count down 12 owner mistakes using GM’s own warnings, maintenance instructions and recall documents. Mistakes covered include running the engine with the air filter housing open, checking the oil incorrectly, using oil additives or engine flushes, filling up with E85 or prohibited ethanol blends, ignoring engine knock, towing before break-in is complete, guessing at towing weights, driving through deep water, using the wrong coolant, continuing to drive while overheating, ignoring dashboard warnings, and choosing the wrong engine oil. We also explain why the 6.2L V8 recall matters, how the repair performed can affect your truck’s oil requirements, and why the oil fill cap and updated owner’s manual insert deserve your attention. ⚠️ Requirements vary by model year, configuration and recall repair history. Follow your truck’s owner’s manual, updated inserts and current GM service instructions. Check your VIN privately through GM or NHTSA’s recall lookup. 💬 What oil grade is printed on your oil fill cap?
