Hello all,
I Just picked up a used 2017 LT for what I thought was a really good deal. This is my second Volt from my 2 year hiatus from my leased 2013. It has 85,000 on the clock, but I think it will last me for a good while if it is anything like my 2013 Volt. I'm only 2 days in and I'm already hitting 60 miles EV. I'm taking it into the dealer service to give it a checkup and go ahead and change out the oil. Having owned a Volt before I was pretty confidant that I new what to look for while negotiating. The only thing that gave me pause was this strange oil like spray on some of the engine components under the hood. I'm pretty sure that I traced it back to the oil fill cap so I'm thinking it was either overfilled and was spurting up a little of the seal is just not sealed properly, but either way I should find out soon if I've got a problem or not. Oil level and other fluid levels all checked out fine so I was kinda stumped. The other possibility is that is is some sort of excess engine cleaner from when it was detailed and was just being vibrated and sprayed around under there when the engine was running. Otherwise, I love it!
Oh, and while the dog still prefers the Subaru she is loving that she doesn't have to straddle a giant plastic cup holder in the middle of her anymore!
