    2018 GMC CC Z71 Standard Bed with a 2.25” front level spacers and replaced rear 1” with a 2” block. Stock wheels and stock size Michelin Defenders. Don’t recommend leveling with spacers! Horrible ride quality especially with E Rated AT Tires!!! [emoji22] Upgraded tires causing rubbing issues, swapped out stock wheels for 20x9 +1 offset Fuel Wheels, 285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (horrible tires). Truck rode very rough so after a few months I decided to go with the super high quality CST 4.5” Lift and Full CST Front and Rear Shocks Now I’m lifted with the CST 4.5”-5” Lift, had second set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers on it 295/60/20 which slid badly at 15k miles, swapped to BFG KO2’s, fantastic tires and truck drives great! For those interested in leveling, I Highly recommend leveling with Coil Overs, tons better ride quality over spacers! Sent from Above

    I’d change it all, previous guy probably used jiffy lubes cheapest oil. You’ll have exact records but most of all, Swap it all out and have a peace of mind. Good luck and do post pics Sent from Above

    As long as it’s not stop and go traffic as well as lots of idling I’d stick with what you’ve got, but if you’re doing the above which is considered severe use then I’d run the Signature Series for that amount of mileage on OCI’s. Good luck and thanks for posting. Sent from Above

    The XL is an excellent choice, far superior to anything over the counter. How long have you been using Amsoil? Sent from Above

    I’ve been using Amsoil Oil filter most of last year, switched to Wix XP last 4 oil changes, thought the oil pressure gauge looked a bit low but then I never paid attention to it so must be normal. After each and every one of the XP filters leaked oil and having to over tighten them all I decided to go back to Amsoil Oil Fillters and the very first thing I saw when I ran it after oil change was the oil pressure gauge, much better flow. Normally with the Wix it would be between 20-25 while idling, Amsoil is about 37-38 at idle. Excellent throttle response too. Just seems to run much better, very zippy when compared to the Wix and OEM. If you go with Amsoil, You be the judge. Sent from Above

    Btw, take a snapshot of your current oil pressure at idle and cruising speed, compare it to the one of your new Amsoil filter and you’ll be absolutely amazed, excellent flow which is what you want especially in a setup like yours. Good luck! Sent from Above

    Well, that’s a no brainer, Amsoil! You can become a Preferred customer on their website. It’s like if you want to shop at Costco or Sams etc etc, you’ll have to become a member first. It’s $10 per quart of 0W20 Signature Series and after testing OEM and Wix XP filters, I HIGHLY recommend Amsoil Oil Filter especially with your HP Engine mods! Good luck and do keep us posted. Any specs and pics of your truck and supercharger? Sent from Above

    I was too until I found a striking comparison that every vehicle that’s had issues was running with no cylinder deactivation tune. Btw, did my Amsoil OCI today, I was shocked to find my oil pressure was much higher than when I was running OEM and Wix XP oil filters. With Wix filters oil pressure was much lower at idle, this pic is of the Amsoil 25k mile oil filter, excellent oil pressure flow Sent from Above

    8.2 quarts of Amsoil 0W20 SS and Oil Filter. Changed at 56% left at 4K OCI’s. Amazing difference between the OEM, Wix XP and Amsoil filter, tons better flow with the Amsoil filter with better pressures. Oil came out dark, not black but as to be expected with these dirty DI engines. Was using Wix XP oil filters, pressure was half to that of Amsoil, Now starting to do every 5K OCI’s with the Amsoil Filter. I LOVE AMSOIL! Sent from Above

    No engine should be consuming engine oil, I’ve never had any of my vehicles consume engine oil and if it did, I guess I wouldn’t have known about it cause I used to do OCI’s every 2500-3000 as well as change them out like underwear lol. I strongly believe that if your engine is burning oil, have it fixed immediately or get rid of it! Sent from Above

    I’ve taken it in once for an electrical steering issues, they ran full diagnostics and never found that it was ever tuned but did find the negative battery cable issue. I asked if they ran a scan and yes they did but didn’t find or mention anything either. SuperChips claims it leaves zero trace, It’s a gamble no matter what you do. Sent from Above
