Hello all,
A bit ago my wife and I got an oil change at the local corner Pennzoil that has rave reviews. Went there and got the normal weight. Wife goes there for the oil changes and we haven't had an issue.
This time though, I pull out of the oil change place and instantly the check engine light comes on. Great. Well we had errands to run that day and had to drive it around.
Later I check the trouble codes with my OBD reader. It's giving P06DD. I guess that has something to do with the variable valve timing in the car because the thing will not downshift (maybe to protect the valves due to them not advancing in higher RPM?)
So I guess this is a common issue with the dual stage oil pump; the van thinks it's stuck in low pressure mode. I tried clearing the code thinking it was a fluke but it came back.
Asked my go-to mechanic they said that it's pretty easy to put in the wrong oil filter or botch the installation somehow (how?) and they said over the phone to take it back to the oil change place and ask for them to look at it and see if the oil filter was installed improperly.
Well my wife takes it there and they kind of troll her because she doesn't know the trouble code off the top of her head. They say the gas cap could be loose and that's why it's not driving fast (nice one, guys) and she brings it home and tells me about this one day after work.
The van recently started driving okay, but P06dd is still in the permanent codes section of my OBD reader.
Has anyone faced this issue of it being kind of inconsistent and a coming and going issue? It's weird to me that if the high pressure stage of the dual stage pump gave out, that it would somehow be able to randomly come back. Aren't failures with electrical components generally a complete failure? After all, electrical can generally only be on or off, working or not working.
Any help or previous experience is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
