AMSOIL!!!!!!!!

Let's not get all excited just yet. BG ERP got her freed up.  The question from here forward is will AMSOIL not do what Mobil 1 and Quakerstate did. Fail. 5K OCI's have been faithfully performed since we got this thing save the last two short changes flushing it out. Time. It's going to take some time to tell the full tail.

I’m patiently waiting to hear your results but we all know how they’ll be lol

120,000 Service

2015 Silverado 1500 RCSB 4.3 / 6L80E

119,897 actual. 4,795 mile OCI.

 

6 Quarts AMSOIL SS 10W30 

Purolator BOSS PBL-22500 filter 

Zero consumption. 

 

The 10W* is costing me a bit of fuel.

Three questions Ryan if you please:

 

1.) How long (miles) to collect this amount?

2.) How long is your OCI?

3.) How much oil does you motor consume?

 

Thank you. 

[RyanbabZ71]

I put the catch can on 5/17 (6 wks) and drove about 1K miles in this time. I had just under 3K miles but at 6 months since the last change (Damn corona) and today was good timing. No noticeable consumption I am aware of (by checking the dip stick).

Let's see if my decoder ring is working  

The oil collected is over a 1,000 mile distance

You have no observable oil usage over 3,000 miles. 

What's in the container is something less than a half ounce.

I can't decode you 'normal' OCI. 

 

How did I do?

Oil analysis items that were highlighted

Original back in February
Fuel dilution % volume: 3.3 -GC
Tin: 1 ppm

July oil change
Fuel dilution % volume: 2.0 - GC
Tin: 2 ppm

2018 Silverado Crew cab LT 5.3L 2WD (L83 Gen5) w/ 4L80E. 

2.5 leveling kit, TB spacer, Airaid MIT w/ K&N, modded airbox reduction baffle removed, factory muffler/exhaust valve deleted (kept em resonator). Black bow ties, reduced plastic, de-badged, removed door molding...

 

-48,****** total miles 

 

-Last change 32,000k (2 full in cycles oil life and 1.25QT of oil consumed in 16k miles ). Chevy would say that’s totally normal. My gti rabbit with a turbo ate less every 20K miles. 

 

-8.25 QT’s 0w-20 STP synthetic dexos approved. I no longer use the dipstick as it is useless and produces metal shaving when used.

 

-STP extended life filter (beware rejection valve ratio and flow parameters isn’t close to spec. With COVID Had me ballIng on a tight budget for a minute and happened to be the only option included in the oil change bundle I got sucked into. For real no lie my oil pressure had never been anything but steady 20-60 idle/heavy load then just over 40 psi cruising. It’s as low 8-10 psi at idle and pegs out 80+ Under load. 
    
-NOTE as ^ PF63E is cheaper than most $6 walmart/$3 rockauto the dual stage high volume oil pump will thank you. Thicker weight oils/back pressure (improper flow ratios) will wear the pump out. Wix and Amsoil work well too.

 

-Pulled all 8 spark plugs for safe measure with L83 piston rings lands quietly failing. All had uniform wear and dry free of oil.

November I’m goIng to risk it for the brisket  cherry picking the L83 to complete  DOD/AMF delete, cam/springs etc./ lifters/ pushrods, plug wires/ new plugs, speed engineering long tubes w/ y pipe/O2 extensions and wideband, MRBP mid side exit 3 cat back, drive shaft loops, 160 thermo, 6.2L TB/Manifold. Oil will be drained for build, good forward I plan on frequently changing both within 3-5k it will all be hard driven “cheap insurance”.

That’s great but you should start your own build page not post all your specs and future updates in the “Oil Change” post. [emoji6]
