Thanks for doing the legwork for me
My MIL parked her little ford ranger in our brand new carport and leaked oil all in it while we were out of town last month. It's normally where my wife parks so I just noticed it last week. Your thread probably saved me a bunch of time and money

The leaks in my driveway came from my truck and it's a 2020 AT4; it was leaking around the oil filter and the oil filter was loose and I had just changed the oil in it. I've been changing the oil in vehicles for almost 50 yrs and this has never happened before.

After a little research I found a Service Bulletin that covers all GM vehicles from 2000-2022 (new oil filter torque spec) where the oil filter may loosen up (my first reaction was WTF). Now I check my filter about every 2 or 3 weeks. Luckily my truck has a factory installed lift so I can crawl under it and check it in about 10 seconds.
