GM recommends following their Oil Life Monitor, which typically "aims" for about 10,000 miles but drops back to ~5,000 miles if most driving is in-city. I'm guessing you're in Canada--does your Dashboard Information Center (DIC) show "percentage Oil Life" as one of its displays?

Welcome aboard! Do you have a Cruze or are you looking into possibly getting one?

Samething happens during our (AZ) summer monsoon thunderstorms; it rains just about every afternoon followed by dust (Habuub) storm...so (likewise) "...there's no point."

Nice color and pictures! It was 91ºF here yesterday, so that SNOW sure looks inviting (ha,ha)!

Well, I can only respond about our 2011 LTZ, which has the 3.87:1 final (axle) drive ratio. The best we've EVER gotten has been 32.6-32.7 MPG at 65 mph, with no a/c operating, while city is only 27-29 MPG. Seemingly, the 6M Cruzes seem to be able to meet & beat their EPA estimates...while very...

Well, mathematically, an engine speed of 2300 RPM in 6th (0.74:1) gear for the 2013 6T40 Hydramatic transmission (final drive ratio 3.53:1) with Michelin Pilot MXM4 tires (802 rev/mile) yields a vehicle road speed of 66 MPH: MPH = [ 60 / (G×A) ] × [ RPM / rpm ] MPH = [ 60 / (3.53×0.74) ] × [...

Sounds like a last-ditch act of "shot-gun" replacement to me, ie: *do* something & pray it helps the problem.

Well, truthfully, beyond the 'knee exercise' & better fuel economy that manuals provide, the automatic *IS* more popular...something like 85% auto vs. 15% manual. While I prefer a manual, the wife has 'bum' a knee so it's only autos now...she used to drive manuals all her life, so it's not that...

Hm-m-m, hadn't heard about an 'o'-ring fitting over the OEM carpet nub.

As I understand it, the whole lower portion of the Eco bumper (insides) is somewhat different to accommodate the positioning and mounting of that shutter assembly...plus, the ECM gets involved, since *it* controls the opening & shutting of the shutter...not to mention the additional wiring...

Haven't done this swap personally, but if the grill assembly is *physically* identical, "yes," it can be swapped in without problems. However, the upper-grill opening is only one part of the 'whole' aero package...don't forget the lower-grill shutter assembly, which is probably the most...

Sad to hear of your problem. Sounds like only two options left to consider: (1) ask for an exhange (probably not gonna happen) or (2) get a lawyer and file a suit (court of last resort). P.S. "SHOUTING" (bolded, large font text) isn't acceptable.

How's the cornering? Should be more stable--ie, less leaning / twisting--keeping all four tires more firmly planted to the pavement.

Actually, that's a very good question, because many owners seem to want that capability (mylink) in their cars. Unfortunately, *I* do not know the answer because our Cruze (2011) didn't offer that option and the wife isn't interested in it (yet). But, others here might know more about it.

Welcome to the forum...and curious, which transmission did you get in your LT, 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic?

Nice comparison write-up!...and, "Welcome Aboard"

Glad to hear the "good news" that "all is well and back to normal" with your Cruze.

Yeah, crawling under a car in slushy snow ain't my idea of fun.

We haven't experienced that problem (PCV & valve cover) on our 2011 LTZ Cruze, but that doesn't mean it isn't going to happen. Check the Owners Manual (did you get a copy with the used car?) to verify that part / service is/isn't covered under the 5/100 powertrain warranty...I believe it is.

Howdy, Chris. South West, Florida...as in the Pensacola area of the panhandle?
