Just thankful this did not happen earlier in the commute on the interstate! after having it towed and speaking with 6 mechanics and 3 dealerships, we were told by every one of them that these engines are known for this problem and rebuilt engines are so backordered because of this problem, that we were looking at least 4-6 weeks minimum to try and replace it at a cost of $7600 out of pocket and still have 2 years to pay the car off before this even happened and there was no recall or gm assstance with this repair. 50 miles) the engine just stopped while making a left turn across traffic leaving me in a position of having to push it out of traffic on a major street to help avoid causing an accident/road closure delay.

If the filter hasn’t been changed at the recommended intervals, it will become saturated with dirt and old oil. The other common problem with oil filters is clogging. Eventually, your engine will lose oil pressure, causing excessive internal friction and threatening significant engine damage. If any of these issues are left uncorrected, the leak will worsen.
