So are you using Wix XP or the Amsoil oil filters?

 

Went back to Amsoil after two separate XP filters kept leaking requiring lots of over tightening. Bet it was due to the super lubricity of Amsoil on the outer filter ring lol!

After filling 7.4 quarts, install the rubber fill plug and the heat shield. Ok all done! At this time you’ve made a damn mess so I brake clean the exhaust pipe and transmission pan at this time. And

I replaced filter and fluid today. Used the transmission pump to pump most out from cooler line. sucked out some more with extractor from fill hole, and got a little more when I dropped the pan.

I followed tlaw91’s procedure and a YouTube video and changed my 8l90’s filter and fluid today.   I had dealer do the first time at 45k.  34k later it’s my turn.   I bought a fluid

I've never had a leak on a Wix XP filter.  But I do notice lower oil pressure with them than I would expect.  I'm about to try out the EA filters.

Same exact thing happened to me with the XP, freaked me out. Amsoil filters keep my oil pressure at approximately 37-43psi, 43-45 higher rpm [emoji6]

Personally, I’ll NEVER switch again. Because I’m using Amsoil Filters I’ll be changing my oil every 5K miles. I know, should go longer, just me and how I do things. Got this from my Service Manager today, minimum oil pressures for my 6.2

What’s makes amsoil products better compared to Lucas or what I’ve used for past 20 years, Mobil one, or what all reviews say nothing better than ac Delco

 

Is 10sp pretty much same as 8 speed

I told him I was getting 10psi higher at full throttle and he said that’s excellent [emoji1303] and also asked if I was still using Amsoil, I said absolutely, he said that was great. As long as I have receipts of my purchases then everything is good for just Incase GM wants to see oil change maintenance records in the event of any issues. HA, not while using Amsoil!

Taking it in next week for a Transmission checkup, he’ll be running diagnostics on it making sure everything is as it should be....

Btw, black02silverado is an Authorized Amsoil Dealer, excellent guy!

Not a good idea discussing about it here, insecure Trolls from every crack and crevice pop out. Black02silverado would be the best to ask, he’s an expert in the field. Trolls complain whenever something is mentioned that’s not an over the counter product.

Yes, I've been using black02silverado for 6 years now for my Amsoil products.

What’s not an over the counter product? I’m lost, all those are name brands

If it’s sold at Walmart or at your local automotive parts store it’s an over the counter product. Ordering it and having it delivered to your door is not an over the counter product. Capeesh?

I live in small town america, when I say small I mean small, 500ppl, we have a gas station/auto parts/oil change/tire rotate store that still pumps your gas, he has an amsoil salesman, so to me it’s over the counter, he comes in every week, the station has 90 year olds that still swear by the stuff for every change, I just never knew what the draw was becuase it’s far more expensive than OTC

Gotcha. It’s for those that want to give the highest amount of protection available. It’s been around for years and still blows away everything in the market today in Engine Protection.

They can it be mixed with fluids already in the vehicle like if I do the filter change on the TB every 25k or so

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
