problem after LT and LS6 install
problem after LT and LS6 install After the install the car started fine, added water and coolant, checked for leaks and everything seemed fine except the coolant temp sensor was broken so i know i have to order one tomorrow but after driving a few miles i noticed my oil was reading around 20 instead of the normal 40. I turned the engine off and took off the oil cap and it was smoking alittle so i added half a quart (all i had in my backseat) and i noticed my fans were still on and they didnt turn off for a few minutes. How much more oil should i add or should i just change it completely? Or is there something else going on i dont know about?
I could be wrong but I think he is saying LS6 intake, not LS6 cam.
To the originally poster. Why would you not check the dipstick to see if the fluid level was good instead of just dumping oil into the engine?

i did check the dipstick and it was low (i have a very slight oil leak due to oil pan gasket)
Today everything runs fine and i did an oil change and i changed the coolant temp sensor cuz the original one broke but my temp gauge doesn't work, the needle doesn't move at all. could the new sensor be bad or is it something else?

I finally got it fixed. One of the wires had ripped in half which was causing the gauge not to work. Now the car is running like it should and surprisingly i didnt get the SES light. I do have the predator handheld tuner but i never cleared the codes before the install. Now for some reason when i shift from park to drive the car jerks HARD!
