I'm purchasing a 2015 Sierra 1500 Denali with the 6.2L. Does anybody know if GM uses synthetic or regular oil from the factory?

Most likely their AcDelco Syntheitc "blend".

 

You can change the oil whenever you like. Does it really matter what they put in it at the factory?

 

 

EDIT : just noticed the new trucks are using 20 weight oils, why the change?

I'm also guessing they use the ACDelso syn blend (made by Mobil). It's a good oil for the oil life monitor intervals (which seems to be around 7,500 miles)

Look at the quoted post below they are 100% correct.

^^^ Winner winner chicken dinner, 0W-20 synthetic blend oil. On a side note your dealer will not let you upgrade the free oil change to a full synthetic oil change. GM will not give the dealership any credit so they will not do it.

0w20 in the 5.3 and 6.2.

 

The 4.3L gets 5W30.

 

The 0w20 requirement came with the redesign for these DI engines.

 

This article was published when they were introduced.

(and has the oil quantities from before they were revised to 8 qts for the 5.3 and 6.2)

A friend of mine used to work on the line in their Grand River plant (Traverse, Acadia, etc) and swears up and down they used Mobil 1 there despite those engines/vehicles not requiring it. No idea if it's true but he's usually not one to BS so maybe there is some truth to it.

HOLY SHIT!!! My 6.2L engine takes 8.5qt's of oil now?!?!?! Damn oil change places have to be loving these new DI motors.

Check that should be 8 qts.

 

The 2010+ camaros also use the same amount of oil

That's why I added the note. The link was to an article from 2 years ago.

 

They have since revised quantity for the DI 5.3 and 6.2 from 8.5 qts to 8.0 qts.

 

This forum has discussed the change before.

Yeah, even changing it yourself with a synthetic like M1, it was a bit chunk of change. The days of the $25 oil change are gone. The good part is that you don't need to change it every 3000 miles. ...You can. But you can also rotate the air in your tires every 500 miles and buy new tires every 20,000 miles too.

I think my 2012 GT500 used about the same as well. At least GM uses 0W-20 which is some what common. My damn Ford had 5W-50, try finding that on a store shelf.

Well I got 3 free oil changes left. That should last me about another 1.5 years. After that I may have to price out some AMSOIL and just do an oil change once a year.

I plan to use AMSOIL myself and I'm creeping up on my 1st oil change for this car. I'm shuttering at the though of how much that is going to cost. :eek:

Holy shit?

 

No, this is a good thing. I like larger engine oil capacity like that.

I think I was about $60 with Mobil 1 from Walmart in the 5 qt jugs and a M1 filter...that's figuring the leftover 2 qts in the 5 qt jug are accounted for on the next change.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
