2015 Needs new motor
I started off two weeks ago getting an oil change at Dulles Motorcars. Went to Pa and came home needing new lifters and rockers. Now they hear noise in the bottom end. I only have 85,000 on it. Anyone else?

Check out the thread for how many miles on your pentastar. I do t see many posts on here about engine problems, except for the 2012 left side head issue. My 2012 is going to hit 100,000 miles this month. It's been problem free.
Are you the original owner and do you know if proper maintenance was performed over its life?

I would assume that Dulles left out the oil. The pentastar hasn’t had bottom end issues or top end issues after the crappy heads dropping valves. Head gaskets have held up well.
The only thing that both both issues have in common is oil. Either oil starvation or the wrong lubricant all together. Nothing surprises me with the quality of an $9 an hour employee
good luck.
