Default GPF cleaning (gasoline Particular filter)

Greetings Loyal ones and hummer lovers

I has an issue with engine oil leaking, I fixed it by removing the clog in the engine air outlet (near the check valve) after that all the previous problem are gone( smoky engine, oil leak)

the oil reached to the exhaust I have the feeling that the GPF is socked in oil and the engine air-intake area (throttle …etc)
Because i have to push the gasoline paddle to the end to get some power especially in offroad.

i need some advise and feedback how to fix and enhance my car strength

thanks

A focused explanation of vehicle history would be wise in getting possible assistance.
example:

200,xxx miles
Trouble codes
Related parts information
Related repair information
Items in question
Etc.

A GPF is a filter?????? If you say so. Problem is, H3s do not have a serviceable fuel filter, only a permanent screen at the in tank fuel pump.

More details, better answers.

Is he perhaps referring to the PCV system?

I also would like to know what a GPF is.
GPF is an abbreviation for: Gasoline Particulate Filter, a device that reduces the amount of fine particulate emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles:

I'm not aware of a GPF on any Hummer H3. OP could be referring to the Catalytic Converter, but they are not the same thing.

I had a major issue in my beloved h3.
during a usual rough off-road trip in desert I retuned back then i found the radiator is mixed with transmission fluid. Unfortunately I had to rebuild the transmission and installed transmission radiator (truecole 30k btu).

Returning back to the subject,
i used wynns gpf cleaner but unfortunately the upstream o2 sensor was stuck three mechanics try to lose it up, but they couldn’t. anyway they open the catalyst then inject the cleaner. Then another issue appeared the upstream o2 sensor was not cleaned so misreading between the sensors appeared. I bought a new upstream sensor waiting to be installed. I have to figure away to remove the old sensor.
