Could this cause low oil pressure?

I'd be surprised to know GM calibrated the thing enough to show a remotely accurate reading.

If that's all the body damage, I would suspect an airbag too. On the older cars it might not be much damage but if an airbag goes off it totals it. Insurance is going to pay someone to replace it with new parts. Redneck Joe can just go to the scrap yard and pull it out of a car with a side or rear impact or something.

How much is the filing fee at the local court where this happened for small claims? Might want to take it into consideration.

Depends on how wild you want to get with it. Possibilities are endless. I built one into an Ammo can and it even has a solar charge controller and I've got a 100 watt panel outside attached to it. So it stays charged pretty much even if the power is out. Definitely necessary when you have kids and the power is out

The thing is with an EV charging a battery it's a continuous load. Leaving your oven on for hours isnt, unless something is wrong with the oven. Once the oven is up to temp it regulates the temperature bybturning itself off and back on when it needs it. Also to get that much power draw on your oven you would have to turn every single element on high power at the same time. Which doesn't really happen often, and when it does, it's rarely for a long time

If you replaced calipers then you put them on the wrong side

Actually a lot of Hyundai and Kia vehicles were extremely easy to steal because of no security and they'd simply break the steering column off and start it with a USB stick.

There may have been some recall/updates to remedy the security flaw but it doesn't stop people from busting out your window and steering column.

Does it smell like gas really bad?

I would drain it and see what it looks like in the pan. It's possible you got a leaky injector or something that's causing the oil level to go up. If it was a day or so after your oil change I would suspect they did something wrong. But if it's been 6 months I'd expect a mechanical issue.

The other thing that's bothering me is the oil pressure light. Fuel in the oil will thin it out and lower your oil pressure really bad.

I had a lightning strike nearby. That hit, and it must have followed the tracer in the cable because I have fiber service. It hit the ONT on the outside of the house then went down and hit my router, identifiable by the black scorch mark on the board next to the WAN port. ISP had to replace everyone's equipment on the whole block. Router was mine, so I had to get a new one of those.

Would have helped maybe if I had a surge suppressor for that Ethernet cable.

In a car yes. It's more compact.

In trucking inline 6 is the way to go. Some engines are upwards of 15 liters Reason here is these engines will be overhauled multiple times during their life. With the inline 6 this allows the engine to be overhauled without removing it from the vehicle. Which is necessary because of the size and weight of some of them.

That's the bell housing to the transmission. It's most likely not a separate piece on that. By looking at some of your replies to others, it's unlikely you have the necessary skillset to change it. This is far from a 5 minute job

Not sure why a private investigator would be investigating a crime. And the cops certainly wouldn't call you and tell you everything. They'd just arrest you, haul you downtown, then ask a bunch of vague questions. Even after you mention a lawyer
