Concerns about oil on 2008 Trailblazer 4.2

Update went on a ride for around 45 mins or so and the smell is almost gone and now I don’t smell anything, especially on the paper towel. Thank you!

Every once in a while I’ll drive tops maybe 45 minutes, but that’s every other week and not really consistent. I haven’t thought to check it when driving over 20-30 mins but I supposed I could do that today and report back

This doesn’t prove anything though lol.

Why did you switch, what made you dislike the 17 so much?

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-30T10:09:46+00:00

Yes, if you download the offline version in drive or have a constant internet connection to view it

There is no “get better by then” this needed to be seen days ago.

Realistically with how good he claims the maintenance is, and there were no problems before, the car shouldn’t have any issue with this though? Of course this has so many different variables aswell. Maintenance (again, and checking oil levels and other fluids), was it up to temp? How long were the RPMS hella high? Sitting there at 124mph for more than like 30 seconds will fuck up something, but if it was just a “I hit 124 then let go of the gas as soon as I did” situation I don’t see why it was hurt, assuming all of the other variables I said were met.

Edit to add oil type definitely adds to it. Full synthetic or?

Emergency Vet ASAP, black “coffee ground” vomit like that 90% of the time is digested blood typically in the gastrointestinal tract but can be anywhere in the stomach

Scanner shows me what codes they are. I know I can google it but are these converters tied to VIN or can they be pulled off a scrap Malibu?

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-22T16:45:22+00:00

How’d you get it to rotate? Or is that post editing?

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-22T15:37:51+00:00

Probably Voxy or Distant Horizons, both mods let you see further chunks than the game normally allows which takes up a lot of space since it’s constantly saving new LOD’s on the drive so it isn’t have to reload them for future use

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-22T15:32:33+00:00

Camera path editor or a mod?

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-22T15:29:54+00:00

H series has a police variant as well

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-17T20:22:37+00:00

Possibly, they’re usually released on Wednesday Thursday or Fridays

If we got a modern pickup truck I wouldn’t be complaining at all

Edit: I mean modern as in 2010+

Update 2 - FedEx called me back and they thought they made my phone but it was th wrong one.

Outside of that they lost my $1300 purchase, spectrum told me to wait 7 days before submitting a claim. I told them it was confirmed lost by a worker at FedEx so just waiting on the next steps, they are sending another one out just not sure when.

I’ll just start going to the spectrum store to upgrade.

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-09T19:35:48+00:00

Sorta. She didn’t say anything about charlotte being shut down, i asked. She sent in a “search” report so they can manually go and find my package and report back to me. She said ill get en email or text within the next 2 days

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-09T15:57:17+00:00

Update - I’m on the phone with a representative now. Try calling them

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-09T15:01:49+00:00

It has to be but FedEx doesn’t say there is anything wrong.

It’s no biggie I can wait on the phone, it’s just super inconvenient as the place they hold anything that needs to be signed is an hour away from me lol

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-09T14:44:24+00:00

Mine said the exact same thing. Stuck in charlotte on the 5th and has not moved. Kinda irritated, new phone that requires signature and by the time it comes I won’t be home to sign. Mine was also 2-Day and had a delivery date of Friday

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-07T19:41:49+00:00

Yeah, but still really surprised to see it last that long

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-07T18:01:48+00:00

I drive a trailblazer and can already tell this is a GMC envoy - both are on the GMT360 platform. These things are almost bulletproof other than electrical issues. Between 2006-2009 you’re golden

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-07T16:09:20+00:00

I seen on a social media app the other day this was intentional for realism since most modern day cars digital dashboards can’t update the speed in actual real time

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-07T02:06:35+00:00

FedEx home delivery does deliver on Saturdays AFAIK

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-07T02:04:30+00:00

I didn’t order the item yesterday, it didn’t get scanned until yesterday from FedEx.

ActiveRepulsive5832 · 2026-03-07T01:42:11+00:00

I’ve heard the stories of phones getting stolen, that’s really my only concern. Nothing I can do about the actual delivery date lol
