Why wouldn’t they? The 2.7 T doesn’t fail.

Fun fact (sort of).  2.7 for July was hit with some constrained crankshaft production and they had to cull back the amount available to order, so V8 and Duramax had higher order numbers for July.  

 

That said, 2.7 gained a new package for the RST Special Edition, sort of making a 2FL version of the RST.  Has a $5000 option package discount too so for example:

 

RST 4WD Crew Cab Short Box MSRP w/ DFC $57,195
RST Select Package $3,160
RST Select Option Package Discount ($5,000)
TurboMax Engine Credit ($1,350)

MSRP after offers: $54,005

I’d trust that engine more than the V8’s

Try the Valvoline restore and protect 5w30. I bet that cures your oil usage.

Doesn’t really matter. Up to you. For 5000-6000 miles any oil filter will work fine.

Have you tried this oil? I have a 2024 silverado lt 1500 with the 2.7. 27,000 miles on it ues about a half qt or so between oil changes.

Yes and it works. I happen to have lead the team that developed the original chemistry at Cummins.

No. Valvoline hasn’t applied ( paid) for a license.
