Yeah that's not good if it took that much oil, something definitely went wrong.

They should provide you a loaner if not make sure and talk to the Service Manager or dealer GM.

Gah I just changed the oil not too long ago, this shouldn't have happened. Dropped in a new filter and 5.5 quarts of Mobil1 5W-30 just like always.

did u use the copper washer? If you did the oil change and they found out it leaked from the drain plug/oil filter then you're screwed.. I hope you can get it fixed!

Gezzz....If its owner error they won't cover it under warranty. This is why BAKER does my oil changes and anything else I need. Everything is on them and they have all the records.

Yeah but oil changes aren't rocket science. This wasn't me....
It's simple. Drain > New Filter > Fill

Plus I don't have any mods that they can void a warranty or anything over. Just HPS tubes and a catback.

Did you do it yourself or did you have someone else do it?

I did it. I've almost always done my own oil for the past 8 years. NEVER had this happen before.

ooooh...hopefully it's something warranty-able, or you can get it fixed. if you needed 5 quarts of oil, your engine is gonna be very beat up. good luck...
