Well. Gals and Gents this topic was started for people who want to like or appreciate a new innovation. It will be a lot more fun to keep the negatives for another forum topic.   Yes it's a new engi

Best ever oil analysis. Ring seating improved which dropped NOx, water content, best ever fuels dilution.  NO ZDDP.  Winter in Colorado at 9000' msl! Nice!! 

Sampled the 2022 LTD Trail Boss 2.7 with 3000+ miles on the Delo 600 ADF 10w30. Maybe 1/4 qt off full on dipstick. Tail pipe cleanliness and MPG still solid. 

 

Grey column is clean reference DELO 600 ADF 10w30 oil.

@customboss good info. I wonder if I switch to a 10W30 oil, would mine quit burning oil.

No Sir not neccessarily a 10w30 or any standard chemistry lube. 

 

I would prefer a 5w30 in the Delo 600 ADF chemistry.  However 10w30 is what they have besides 15w40. 

 

I am testing this formula for its unique anti-wear system, low TBN, low acid, improved ring seal with our steel  HD design rings, low or no VII, stable viscosity, and  no ZDDP among others.  It consumes clean too.  I surmise that it will burn less oil as I run the chemistry in future oil drains. 

 

This engine eats visccosity index improver so don't try a oil using much of it.

Roger that. I’ll stick with 5W30 and just keep topping it off in between oil changes.

How many miles on this 2022 LTD Silverado 2.7L unit now?  Do you always use M1 Advanced 5w30 Dexos1Gen3? How much oil consumed in what interval? 

If you are out of warranty anyway you could try the 10w30 Chevron DELO 600 ADF and see in your case if it slows or improves operation of 2.7T.  This 10w30 is significantly more viscous ( thick at cold pour readings but pumps fine) but it does improve ring seal.  

 

I watched your video with interest.

@customboss I have around 96,500 miles on this truck now. It runs pretty good. Mileage is consistent, 18-20mpg in mixed 75%highway/25% town. I do have the “goose honk” issue, that I think is the wastegate actuator making noise. But other than that and the oil consumption. It’s been a fine motor. 
 

I have not been consistent with using the Mobil1, I did for the first couple changes I had the truck, but then got too busy and took it to a quick lube. For a long while the truck got Valvoline 5W30 full synthetic. But I just changed to a new shop and now they use a Quaker State 5W30 full syn. I’ve noticed the oil consumption with all these oils. 
 

Truck is most def out of warranty. Power train is 60k miles I believe. 
 

I guess I could give the 10W30 a try. But I don’t want to risk ruining anything. I use this truck for work and have to rely on it. But if something breaks…it can get fixed. I’ll have to consider it. If I did switch would you recommend just letting it warm up a little longer before driving? To let that 10W30 warm up?
 

BTW, thanks for watching.

Great info. What does it consume in what mileage ? When you changed out spark plugs for oil consumption drop at all? 
Yes you could run the Delo 600 ADF 10w30 and yes just observe the oil pressure comes off the 60-70 range on cold start to 30 or less. Our oil pumps handle it well. In SC unless you are in mountains  that oil pressure bump up may not even be noticeable.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
