#93010, oil filter adapter
Basicly they replace the oil filter adapter, filter and drain and refill the oil.
Something about the adapter bieng improperly drilled and allowing unfiltered oil to bypass.
When we import vehicles to canada all recalls must be performed to pass the inspection.

GMPartsGuy said:Well, the only problem with running a VIN inquiry is that GM's database for vehicles going back that far is dropping off considerably. Your particular VIN may or may not show up in the system. It's kind of hit & miss going back that far. Now I have no idea why they would drop off VINs at all, considering it's the easiest way for a dealer to find out if there's an open recall (campaign) on a vahicle. The fact that Renz's VIN showed up when I ran it was kind of a fluke, I guess. My VIN, on the other hand doesn't show up. I'm trying to run VIN inquiries on all of the Sy's and Ty's before the info is gone forever. Then I can database the info. This is a project I just started last week, and it's probably going to take me quite a long time. I'm up to 1025 on the Sy's. I figure I'll be done with the Sy's in a couple of weeks. (I do it in my spare time at work.) But if your vehicle doesn't come up on a VIN inquiry, the only way you could tell if your vehicle is involved in a campain/recall is to check the individual recall, and verify your VIN against the VIN breakpoints of vehicles involved.(Which you would have to call the dealer to do). And even then, it would be pretty hard to tell if the recall has been done or not if there's no campaign decal on the core support anymore.
Now one strange thing I noticed was that almost all of the Sy's that come up so far on the VIN inquiry show to have a recall open. I'm gonna have to look into it and see what the campaign entails...or if it's really a recall at all. I'll try to keep everyone posted on my progress.
