Interesting is I stopped off at a NAPA store in WV small town and they said they are having a hard time getting 0w-20. I also have a contact at a Chevrolet dealership that said the ULV fluid for the 10sp is hard to get as well. Not GM related but I also stopped off at our local Kia dealership and they said they were out of their ATF and it was on order inspected to get it in in a week. They said they were limited to what they could order.
In the mean time AMSOIL see's what is going on and sent out a letter stating there are issues with getting supplies and pricing will have another slight increase but to be sure AMSOIL isn't seeing any issues as of now providing for their customers. They can supply as normal. Can't find what you need locally from your normal source? Contact me I can get you the best price on anything AMSOIL.
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 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"
