It's maintenance month for my truck, changed oil, greased, fluid in both diffs, transmission fluid, rear brakes (both pads and parking brakes).  Still have to do brake fluid...  278600km.  Just over 5L comes out, and 6L goes in every 7500km or so (per DIC).

Oil change 1 on the 2019, 91% oil life but I wanted to do an early change and then add a magnetic drain plug. Mobil 1 0W-20

2nd change done 10/25 55% oil life. Wanted to send off for oil analysis but I didn’t have any sample bottles. Plan to do so on my next change.

105,000 Mile Services

 

11/27/2019

105,367 for an OCI interval of 4,826 miles. About 2-1/2 months. Guess I'm slowing down. 

6 Quarts Red Line HP 0W20

Clean K&P oil filter

Rotate tires which are now at 5/32" tread remaining. Very even wear. Adjust tire pressures.

Check brake wear and freeness of slides. They may never wear out. 

Pretty vanilla report. Needs a good bath.

110,000 Mile Service

Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain

 

110,129 actual: 5239 mile OCI. 

 

5 quarts AMSOIL SS 5W30 and Purolator filter. Less than a cup this time between changes. My guess, the rings were starting to gum up. The Red Line did it's job cleaning them up. (Had used QSUD for quite awhile) I got a good price on the AMSOIL which in this SAE grade has a lower NOACH than the Red Line HP.

Here's the thing. I buy full cases. Truck takes six quarts and the Terrain takes five. Almost everything else on the property takes four or four plus so I end up with odd lots of this and that. I run 5W* in the summer and 0W* in the winter. So...at any given time I have about four SAE grades (not counting bikes) and so generate a few orphan quarts here and there from time to time and so work off a quart here and there. 

 

So the target is 0W20 winter and 5W20 summer but it my be that the actual fill is sometimes like 5 quarts 0W20 plus a quart of 0W30 or 5W30 or 5W20. Whatever is left over from an odd case.

I used to use blackstone lab but JG is local to me and the owners grandson is on our travel baseball team. He also retired from where I currently work (Allison Transmission) and was a lubricants engineer. So far so Good with the analysis

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
