My 2008 Silverado has developed a slight looseness in the steering wheel.You can feel noticeable play if you hold the wheel and move it up and down.This play will go away if you move the wheel position tilt lock to another position.It feels like it is loose just under the wheel its self and hopefully its not the intermediate shaft that gave everyone so much trouble back in 04-06.The truck has less than 20000 miles on it. Thanks in advance.

  Good to see all of the smart logical early retirees.

  My question(s) are direct to this point, with no insult intended, could the dipstick not be showing an amount of loss comparable to what I see by measuring the volume drained at change time? I think most GM vehicles light comes on at max 7500 miles. I've also noted how much larger the oil pan capacity has grown - 10 quarts in my L5P, 9 in the Yukon, 10 in my previous Sierra. If 5 quarts in yesteryear could last 5k miles, the 10 should be doing 10k miles. That thought process isn't about oil life and degradation, but I'm alluding to maybe the capacity has grown to account for the 'loss' and prevent "seizing up all over the place" due to oil starvation.

  My interest isn't what is or isn't oil use, I'm interested in your measuring the use (or lack of) to compare to my own experience/measurements.

  Cost me just under $3k to fill all 3 of my #2 tanks. That place was more than .50 cents a gallon cheaper than everyone else. I'll be set for a while.
