Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update Recommendation/Instructions. Please discard PIP5276F.
Condition / Concern
Some customers may complain of a SES light or low oil pressure indicated on the instrument
panel cluster with DTC P0521 stored. In some cases, this may have started shortly after an
oil change.
Recommendations / Instructions
If you are working on a Gen4 V8 that is setting a DTC P0521 and/or has low oil pressure
indicated on the instrument panel in cold or hot weather and the engine is currently
equipped with a PF48E or PF48 oil filter, determine if the engine has been properly repaired
and cleaned following the procedure used in the latest version of bulletin 10-06-01-008.
If not, please update the engine with the components outlined in the bulletin.
If it has been properly repaired and cleaned, inspect the left rocker cover (square baffle) and
verify that the baffles can hold water and do not leak.
If any leaks are found, clean and seal the edge of the baffle with RTV if possible or replace
the valve cover.
Thoroughly clean and dry the valve cover before installation and/or resealing.
Change the engine oil and replace the oil filter using a PF48E or PF48 type filter.
Parts Information
Refer to the electronic parts catalog and/or latest version of 10-06-01-008 for the

Warranty Information
