Benefits of the thicker viscosity?

I don't know that it is thicker, but it is a superior lubricant. Way back when, there was a TSB for 5th Gen PW noise with this as the fix from GM. We havee been using Dexos Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid in PS pumps of all brands since then. While not decibel tested, the pumps run quieter by ear test.

My wife's 2013 Equinox with the 3.6 makes this noise when you turn at idle RPM's. From reading on the Equinox forums it seems like a very common issue. It appears that there is a TSB for it, but only some have had any luck getting the dealer to perform the work, and a few folks have reported that the updated parts didn't completely fix the issue. I believe the "updated parts" are an alternator pulley and a couple power steering hoses.
A couple quotes I found from the Equinox forum on the matter... Quote:

Dang, well i drove with the service manager and he could clearly hear it. I hope this gets resolved this time aswell. Also, the sound clip that is on 2nd post. Sounds like the Ac compressor, even when it is wrong. You can just hear it.
Also, they scratched up my engine cover + Fuse box. I let the service manager know and he mentioned he will get it replaced. They put me in a 17 1LT 6 speed 2.0 camaro for time being. Im happy about that lol. |
