Me too, I know it’s a truck and I didn’t buy it for mpg’s and I usually drive 85 plus on road trips never ever looking at mpg. I was getting 25-26 mpg bone stock lol Maybe the lift has a lot to do with it on the trip back, could be. Sent from Above

It was pretty flat and took same road there and back. That’s a big difference don’t you think? It was approx 8-9 mpg difference which nothing changed, no added weight, nothing. If anything maybe the wind but still wouldn’t have caused that much of a difference, would it? Sent from Above

Took a short 30 mile trip today, decided to test my mpg’s via trucks computer, ran 65 mph one way and 70 mph the next. 70 mph 65 mph Could it be my gears? 2018 GMC Sierra 1500, SLT, SuperChips tuned 6.2, 323 rear end. Lifted 4.5-5” running 34” Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Only run super unleaded. Why would there be such a mpg difference from 5mph?? Sent from Above

Keep going guys, we’re all learning more and more about the 19’s and up. Sent from Above

Lol, nothing going on other than transmission or cylinder deactivation talk in the 18’s, but wow, nothing like what’s going on with the 19’s, the EPA has really got their grasp on the 19’s. Sent from Above

What’s next, telling us when and where we can drive our new vehicles! These new trucks are a F’ing nightmare, so happy I bought an 18, wooohooo!!!!! Sent from Above

I’ve lost you there, “professional use” I use my truck when working and would run it over the pier if I had that crap happen to me. These new trucks rigged by the epa to create a nightmare for truck owners. Why can’t the truck just run the lights on for as long as you want? That BS! Sent from Above

Good God! We think the same! Sent from Above

Wrong person, I’ve never owned Honda’s. You use Mobil1 extended oil based on it having added synthetics giving added engine protection against wear and tear adding additional cleaning additives prolonging it’s use correct? So why wouldn’t you even entertain the fact and proven independent testing that oil with 100% synthetic is better than dino oil mixed with synthetic? Years and years of independent and proven testing shows that oils made of 100% synthetic completely blow away everything Mobil1 and other Full Synthetic competitors have to offer by at least 4X. It’s not hype, it’s independent tests that’s what gives the answer to which oil best protects your engine which in return prolongs you’re engines internals. Everyone should buy whatever they want, just know what you’re buying and putting into your engine especially if you’re doing long OCI’s. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, you research what you buy everyday, see it for yourself, anything well marketed can make you over look the real ingredients and in the end isn’t this what we all strive for, helping one another.

Out of curiosity and being that you’re doubting the actually proven effects of higher concentrations of synthetic “HELPS” decrease wear and tear, what’s the oil and filter combination you use? Sent from Above

Sorry to hear this. If you’re in the Houston area, and don’t have gap insurance, call your insurance and add additional insurance just in case your truck gets into flood waters [emoji6] then you’ll be set, that is you won’t be out of pocket and you’ll do much more research and get whatever your heart desires. Good luck! Sent from Above

You’re correct about removal of oil threads being locked due to extremely immature behaviors coming from members that pat themselves on the back for using cheap oil where as all I’ve ever done is show real life proof based on the quality of a product which is what everyone always asks “personal views of the quality of a product and longevity”. Quality products, whether tires, lift kits, oils are pretty much set in stone but for some reason only a small amount actually care about what’s put into their engines which is the heart of their vehicles. Amsoil WILL NOT GUARANTEE 100000000000000 miles but all I’ve done is show proof that it’s the best and that’s all I’ve ever mentioned and haven’t cut down anyone for not using it but for some, it’s extremely important to justify their selection by cutting down anyone that brings it up. It’s already stated, you get what you pay for, buy what you want and what you can afford. Good luck to all, C’YA! Sent from Above

Agreed! Sent from Above

Arrrg, thanks for correcting that one for me [emoji1303] Sent from Above

Active fuel management along with so many other restrictions don’t make more reliable engines, they make up the majority of people on these forums looking for a way to repair or disable. Older engines didn’t have the enormous amount of restrictions they have today but again, your issues were about Amsoil oil and claiming to save by buying cheap oil and cheap oil has been tested to not be even close to the protection that Amsoil gives and this is through Blackstone testing, not from Amsoil. Educating oneself is half the battle. Good luck to all! Sent from Above

Due to the extremely tighter tolerances in today’s modern engines, more and more people are complaining today of engine failures more than ever before. Cheap oil is cheap oil, doesn’t matter how you turn it, flip it, it’s going to be cheap oil and the more people educate themselves on just what they’re buying by looking at independent lab tests and stop putting so much faith into marketing schemes only designed to get you to buy their product, the more you’ll see, you get what you pay for. Sent from Above

It’s maintenance, this is why there are different stocks of oils, base stock oil is conventional mixed with additives, highest stock oils are completely man made, Full Synthetics is base conventional oil mixed with additives that clean where as Amsoil is 100% synthetic base with 100% synthetic cleaning additives. 100% synthetic Amsoil lasts longer which means you can run it minimum twice as long as the crisco formula Mobil1 and protects more than 4X’s the amount of Mobil1’s best annual protection oil. Anyone can get cancer and I’ve personally list someone close to it, you can eat healthy all you want but if you’re predisposed to that cancer gene running in your family then it’s somewhat inevitable BUT you’re then forcing yourself to eat wheat grass and kale along with other high quality flush to help assist your body to get rid of your life threatening disease. Engines are no different, metal to metal requires the highest friction protection available thus protecting your engine from excessive wear and tear that WILL cause your engine to break down sooner rather than later. It’s obviously completely up to you, but here’s an official video available for anyone to view and gather additional information as to how the world of engine oil works, from how engine oil is really tested and marketed and at the end of the day, it’s completely up to you, pat yourself on the back all you want but cheap oil is cheap oil with cheap results and with all those very expensive moving parts, I’d want the highest protection available prolonging my engines life span. Protecting your engine in between oil changes is the most important! Pay attention to how oil performance is graded and the actual % amount additives that make up the oil. You’ll see, Mobil1 products are on the bottom of the barrel and all you’re paying for is MARKETING! Sent from Above

Lol, Amsoil and Redline are the only go to motor oils I’d highly recommend. Sent from Above

I wonder, do they make something like that to fit the GMC front grills? Sent from Above

Have you noticed a substantial difference in the amount of extra lighting? Sent from Above

Both the two Amsoil products I’ve just listed are 100% synthetic as well but I don’t have any stats on either one of them yet. Any info related to them, testing? Sent from Above

Here’s the filter I highly recommend Wix XP, it’s a fully synthetic material that captures small as 20-21 microns, complimenting Amsoil Signature Series. Double Check to make sure it’s for your year and engine. Sent from Above
