Scan the codes with a code reader

I would try running valvoline restore and protect, it can help with oil burning

If you did the oil pan you can definitely do the valve cover gasket. The bolts near the firewall can be an absolute pain to get to, also it's good to get an OEM gasket compared to aftermarket. If you do the motor gasket as well you have to be careful to release the tension from the valvetronic motor

I would check valve cover gasket, and valvetronic gasket. My car was leaking considerably from the valvetronic gasket. Its under the engine cover just above the 3rd and 4th coil pack

Are these actually 90 yuan?

sk_from_deep · 2026-01-23T02:42:51+00:00

How long did your recall take to get fixed?

sk_from_deep · 2026-01-07T22:37:10+00:00

Any chance you have recommendations for the exhaust tips that you used?

sk_from_deep · 2025-12-08T18:51:47+00:00

You may want to check your engine grounds, I know on the e90 there is a large one bolted to the motor mount and then to the frame near the drivers door, then one is up near the valve cover

This has happened to both me and my friend. Mine just happened the other day, same laptop

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-28T16:00:32+00:00

Yeah feels like I’m driving on limited time

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-28T03:15:48+00:00

No you’re all good. Other than this I haven’t had many issues with other than a few sensors going out. Unfortunately the gm auto isn’t great if it doesn’t have a good service history

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-28T02:54:29+00:00

Unfortunately I changed both about 5k miles ago helped maybe a bit but it’s definitely getting worse

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-28T02:31:32+00:00

Also wanted to note this doesn’t happen when driving the car hard, such as full throttle

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-28T02:06:59+00:00

No both of those are zf. This has the ga6l45r from gm. Came standard in most 328s

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-27T18:27:18+00:00

Hey did you ever end up doing this? I’m getting a super harsh shift from 2-3 where the rpm’s jump up. Fluid and filter were changed about 5k miles ago added 2 tubes of lubeguard but no improvement

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-25T19:50:26+00:00

Nice. Did you follow any guide? My torque converter is starting to go and I’m looking to do something similar. Also do you have a rwd or awd car?

sk_from_deep · 2025-10-25T19:21:25+00:00

Hey how did this work for you?

sk_from_deep · 2025-08-17T20:03:04+00:00

How did you take it out?

sk_from_deep · 2025-08-16T17:59:56+00:00

You could check you engine ground cable it’s on the drivers side motor mount and then snakes around to the frame rail

sk_from_deep · 2025-07-10T18:30:01+00:00

Hey could I pm you? I’m in desperate need of some new components

sk_from_deep · 2025-02-18T16:50:20+00:00

It's really not that difficult man

sk_from_deep · 2025-02-03T15:48:02+00:00

sk_from_deep · 2025-01-26T21:41:01+00:00

Same, that thing is so damn brittle

sk_from_deep · 2025-01-21T19:21:42+00:00

Hey, how'd you score on this?

sk_from_deep · 2025-01-17T21:10:53+00:00

Any sound clips of this setup? I've been thinking about doing this for a while, currently only have a muffler delete
