This message concerns all GM vehicles. When replacing the engine oil drain plug, use only the correct drain plug listed in the GM SPO parts catalog. Use of an incorrect drain plug may cause an oil leak and/or damage to the engine oil pan. Damage caused by use of an incorrect drain plug is not covered under the new vehicle warranty. This is Dave Dickey, Brand Quality Manager for Premium V8 and High Feature V6 engines. Thank you for using the VME reporting system and have a great day.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
