Life would be a lot simpler if these auto companies would just make vehicles that people want to buy. I still can’t believe that they don’t sell a standard cab with a short bed. My neighbor has on that’s not too old (a RAM) and it looks great. Hope you’re happy with the new truck. Personally, I’d find it hard to compromise as much as you had to do to get what you want. -
Yes. I was under the understanding I could not get remote start with the WT. Looks like the 997 would work. Sent my sales guy an email. I'd love to add this from GM vs. paying twice as much for an aftermarket solution. Thanks! -

I'd guess state side Group III. That Qatar plant is a GTL unit, Group III+ -

I know you didn't write the manual. Pepper uses none regardless of OCI which has been as long as 7.5K and as short as 3K. 5 is the usual. Daisy, the Buick 3800 uses zero as does the wife's Buick. Dizzy on the other hand has had its own oil well since the clock rolled 80K. Now at 287K and using a quart in 1200 miles. She had a Paseo that started using about the same time, 80 or 90K that went 300K. Both of those motors we feed shelf synthetics. All the others that don't run Red Line HP or AMSOIL SS. That oil guzzling Terrain I top off at 4 ounces which is pretty often. As wife's primary I'm more picky that if I were driving it all the time. Dad started that 'Keep it full even if you never change it", from the first day I was old enough to understand what he was talking about and sir that was early. Like 5. If I wanted to see him I had to be with him and when he was home, he was in the shop working on something with a motor. Army/farm trained. Anyway, I've pulled and read a few dipsticks and know a few as well. I've never felt anything but full was an 'acceptable' practice. Been forced into it a few times but never by choice. In the seven plus decades I've been breathing, a quart off the FULL mark is down a quart. There was never an acceptable deviation. Not that we didn't run them in between we just didn't go on line to make noise about it. There wasn't any, "On Line" -
Definitely its a habit to get into, every so often go through the motions of both high range and low range and allow it to rotate over for some distance to coat all the surfaces with oil that otherwise may not receive any otherwise and like was said to coat and work the seals etc. I too am doing it on a non busy gravel road during the summer or come winter again the snow covered gravel road simply because its not busy and can mess around putting it into four low. Of course I am using four wheel high range quite often for portions of each drive all winter which would be different then one who lives in an area where unless going off roading the four wheel drive almost never gets used.
