Hopefully some of that cash goes to figuring out the proper oil viscosity.

I’ve heard there’s been somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 engine failures so far: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCRIT-25V274-6343.pdf

PS - don’t give GM too hard a time. Toyota’s new truck/suv engine is failing at a high rate too.

The connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components in these vehicles may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure.

- Yikes
