New Oil Viscosity Recommended

[andrec10]

Yep, $15/qt at that price I definitely won’t be doing 3,333 mile changes. Hell, might as well go to 7,500 per GM recommendation and let them replace what fails and dump this truck before warranty expires. Seems like the best strategy.

This is another reason I am so glad I traded my truck in.

Just received my notice from CARFAX as well on my 22. I'm at 43K miles and my motor has been flawless so far.
We'll see. At least they are finally somewhat addressing the issue. I'll quit worrying about it... if she blows she blows. F' it.

That's one of the higher mileage rigs we've seen. Glad it's doing well! What oil brand and charge intervals are you running?

Mine had 52k when I traded it in.

After the initial oil change at below 2k miles, I generally change it at between 25-30% on the oil life monitor. I change it at the dealer so I imagine 0W20 AC Delco full synthetic. Usually is at around 5K intervals. I’ve never had to add oil between changes so far. I put 360 miles on it every weekend as I leave the city for the peace and quiet of the country. I don’t beat it to death but I don’t baby it either and do some towing.

Sounds like a winner!

LMFAO.......I logged on to my Progressive account to get my VIN and run it through the recall checker and they have the recall listed for both my 1500 ZR2 and Tahoe...........no remedy..... fuckin clown show.

My 1500 is at the dealer getting a bunch of trim pieces fixed and the tonneau warranty confirmed. Also had the latest infotainment update. I'll see what my SA is going to say when I pick it up later today.

Yep got my Carfax notification also.

LMFAO......caps gonna cost $5 million......new TSB will call for a paint pen and a monkey to change filler cap labels while customer waits.

“While customer waits for 3 hours in a waiting room with no complimentary snacks or drinks” I fixed it for you.

Changed mine this morning. Wife thinks I’m crazy since our recall doesn’t direct what oil etc. my theory is, they have it in another recall for the same make model etc. wouldn’t have much room to deny warranty IMHO should something go sideways before they update ours.

They used to have donuts at my dealer. Now they have vending machines and Cheetos!

Would it even turn over with that heavy oil? Probably already bent a rod?
