I found this video a little too late but I went to change the oil on my 6.0 '04. Yukon XL found metal shavings. Change the oil and notice that I had no oil pressure as I just got the vehicle... Drove some 400 miles with no issue. Turn the vehicle off. Turn the vehicle back on the next day only to hear ticking proceeded to drop the oil pan and found smashed camshaft bearings. Lean this to say I pulled the camshaft currently installing it. Wondering how long this engine will last now anybody ever experience anything like that? And how far did you make it if you did?

Did you replace the car?

@@gaylecloyd2088 no ..I'm going to replace the cam shaft... would have done it by now..but 550 is a little bit more than I can afford..plus more parts..part of life

Just what I didn't want to hear. My Acadia, with only 85k miles on it, has metal shavings in the oil. It was a great and informative video, though! What I'd like to know, is just how long might it last? The car is paid for and now isn't a good time to be spending money.

Me too. My 2017 Hyundai Elantra started to knock (only for 10 seconds) and enginen light came on. 110K mi, and took it in. They told me metal was in the oil, and they couldn't fix it, it needed a new engine. Called the dealer, they told me $9K to replace an engine. Engine light is now off, but how long will it last? I can't trust it to take it anywhere now. Mine too is paid for. Was hoping to not to get a new car for at least a couple more years, am on SS and $$ is tight!!

My co-worker's buddies build race cars and they said to just keep driving it. So far, so good. The engine runs smoothly, no sign of anything eminent. fingers are crossed . . . (Good luck!)@@sherylclements2846

I don't want to hear it. My SRT8 Grand Cherokee was 64,000 mi has got absolute acorns coming out of the damn oil pan screw shavings

@@TRICKYBYRDdang same here man I got an 09 srt8 and had misfires and was told metal shavings were found in the oil. And the problem is our 6.1 hemis are no longer easy to find…. Did you get yours fixed?
