I still use the regular one also. 5-30 change every 5000 miles with a Delco filter.

Regular Mobil 1 5w30 and ACDelco PF46 filter whenever Oil Life system advises change time (or 6500 miles, whichever is first). I don't trust an oil that is bulging with additives, I prefer just the standard great Mobil 1.

Just turned 1,100 miles in the '06 and will be switching to regular 5/30 Mobil 1 tomorrow, like I have in all my other vehicles. Change every 5-6,000 miles.

Why is that synthetic is synthetic? Do you have information the the other is bad or is this just an opinion?

Regular Mobil1 5W-30 and an AC-Delco PF59 filter for me.

I used the "Extended Performance" once but it seemed to get dirty real quick for some reason,you know it just seemed like it was turning "darker" or "blacker" quicker than the regular Mobil1,Plus I don't think the "Extended Performance" oil meets GM specifications,At least it didn't when I ran it last spring,but that could have changed since then.

:cool:

That, and--at least in my case--I noticed that my fuel economy dropped a smidge after trying the M1 EP oil...

Steve,

Yea,I still got about 15 PF59's left,When I heard they we're doing away with them I took the last case we had at work,Plus theres an auto parts store in town that still has a bunch of them so whenever I'm in town I always stop and pick one or two up while they still have them,I should be good for awhile :cool:

Rich.

P.S. The PF61 is what some of the guys at the dealership are using also in place of the PF59.

I use the regular one, 10-30, change it every 6 months (7000km) with a high quality filter (K&N or Amsoil)

 

 

 

 

I hate to tell you this but K&N is not a high quality filter. I used to be a religious K&N man myself until I found out they really don't filter much at all. I'd use K&N on any race application that needed maximum flow but for non-race applications, AC Delco Ultragard, Mobil 1, and Napa GOLD filters are all outstanding filters that actually filter VERY good. They all flow pretty good for normal driving and if you ever need to FLOOR it, you have the bypass valve of course to give you that immediate emergency oil flow that'd be unrestricted by the filter.

dont ya love oil threads??

 

sitting on a 93 GMC that has 244,000 miles on it at last count, most of them miles on synthetic oils of either the mobil or castrol varieties, and any old oil filter you care to think of.

 

oil got changed about every 15 to 20 thousand miles.

 

so you peeps who get uptight over brand, or what kind of filter need to relax cause it really dont matter

Beg to differ. The last oil filter study I saw rated Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters in the top 4 of oil filters. Both the Mobil 1 and K%N filters are made by Champion in Albion, IL.

 

Google some for oil filter comparison and you can read quite a bit on it. Not trying to flame, just pointing out I have seen tests rating both very high. Fram filters seem to be one of the worst with their cardboard endcaps.

 

I run Mobil 1 traditional and Mobil 1 or KN filter every 5K. Up to 173K so far.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
