I generally do my first oil change at 1,000 mi on a new truck. I changed the oil on my 2022 2500 L8T last night at 1,250 mi. Afterwards I ran a large magnet in the bottom of the 8qt of used oil and found no metal shavings whatsoever which is a first for me! I will change it again at 5,000 mi and then 5,000 miles from here on out like i have always.

Hi folks! I have been a member here since 2005. Because life happened, I haven't logged on in 6-7 years. My last truck was my beloved 2012 GMC Sierra SLE z71 4x4. But I purchased a winnebago bumper tow camper last year and I was able to safely tow it just fine on flat land even at highway speeds with my 2012 1500, but it struggled in the hills. And I have plans to take my kids out west for a trip to the national parks in the next year or two. So I decided to sell my beloved 2012 and purchase a new 2022 Chevy 2500HD. Instead of waiting forever on truck order, I found a truck sitting on the GM factory lot in Canada that met 99% of my requirements. Put down a deposit on it at my dealership in June, truck arrived approx. 6 weeks later. I know most of you always want the specs, so specs can be found below.: '22 2500HD LT z71 4x4 CCSB 6.6 gas Greenstone Metallic - Gideon / Dark Atomsphere interior 2LT Convenience 1 Package 2LT Convenience 2 Package 2LT Leather Package Heated bucket seats & steering wheel Manual folding towing mirrors Power rear sliding window All weather floor liners Hitch guaidance and hitch view system Power up / down tailgate z71 off-road & protection package Gooseneck / 5th wheel package Factory sprayed in bed liner And last but not least, here is a list the GM vehicles I have owned in order: 1995 GMC Sierra RCSB SLE 4x4 5 spd manual 5.0L (Emerald Green) 1998 GMC Sierra RCSB SLE z71 4x4 5.7L (Pewter) 2004 Chevy Silverado ECSB SLE 4x4 4.8L (Red) 2003 Chevy Avalanche z71 4x4 5.3L (Black) 2007 GMC Sierra CCSB SLT 4X4 5.3L (Black) 2010 GMC Sierra CCSB SLT 4X4 6.2L (Black) 2012 GMC Sierra CCSB SLE z71 4x4 5.3L (Mocha Steel) 2022 Chevy Silverado CCSB LT z71 4x4 6.6 gas (Greenstone)

My preference is the Borla Touring, but you already knew that. lol

I've owned 3 GMT-900 trucks and none have ever had a issue with the hourmeter resetting. I guess I have been lucky so far.

Installed a Readylift 3in rear block kit over the weekend. Really liking it so far.

Got a new set of GM tow mirrors for my birthday, installed them tonight. Will add pictures tomorrow. I dont tow much other than a small fishing boat on occasion, but the visibility with the tow mirrors is awesome!

Mobil 1 guy here. I've ran only Mobil 1 5w-30 in my last three trucks and the current one. Three were / are a 5.3 liter, and one a 6.2 liter. Never had a single problem.

2010 6.2L, No AFM of course. (I believe all 6.2 are aluminum, correct?) Currently 13,400 miles Mobile 1 5w30 & Mobile 1 filter every 5,000 miles NO Leaks. 2007 5.3L AFM, Iron block. Mobile 1 5w30 & Mobile 1 filter every 5,000 miles Traded at ~40,000 miles No Leaks up until or at trade in.

Mobil 1 5w-30 + K&N HP-1017 filter. Generally change the oil between 20-30% left on the OLM which averages about 7-8k miles. Doesnt burn any oil what so ever. But like others have said, just buy a brand name oil and quality filter and you will be fine.
