Be reading all the posts on Mobil 1 oil. It seems like most that have engine clicks and clacks have changed over to Synth oil. My 5.3 is quite on dino oil. Will it click and clack on Mobil 1??

No, but if you have an agenda one can imagine what they want the results to be. My .002

If it is quiet on dino, it should be quiet on syn. However, I do have a friend with a 02 4.8L and it does have some additonal upper end noise with Mobile 1. Don't know why and I cannot explain it. He tried it back and forth between dino and syn 3 or 4 times, and it was louder with the Mobile 1.

If it is quiet on dino, why would you screw with it? Do you want a possible problem? I run dino and have no problems or noises, I would not switch to synthetic. If it aint broke dont fix it. :shakehead:

My 2005 5.3L is quiet on Mobil 1 with 25000 miles. The 2002 6.0L has the CSK noise, that I first noticed around 60,000. This engine has around 78000 now and was switched to Mobil 1 when I purchased at 50,000 miles. My previous truck '99 5.3L Sierra also seemed to develop the CSK around 60,000 on Dino. oil. This is my .02.

If your engine has clicks or clacks with one oil why wouldn't you have them with another oil?? If the oil you are using is working for you, why change?

I dont say either synthetic or dino oil will cause noise, I also don't believe either will totally solve CSK or piston slap if that is what you have. I just dont see why someone who has no noise on dino would want to switch to synthetic. :shakehead:

Oil does not cause noise. Inferior machining and assembly techniques do. If you want to run synth, rock on. If you don't like it after you try, switch back. I personally run the highest quality stuff I can find which is synth; this really is a matter of personal preference. There are lots of good engines in the jukyards that ran on dino oil.

I think that sums it up nicely.

Oil can cause noise. You could have a perfectly machined block with perfectly matched pistons and valves. Put in the wrong oil and you can develope noise. Sure, the oil is not making the noise, just caused the wear that creates the noise.

Ok, let me add, as long as you're using the correct weight for the engine in discussion. As long as that is being done it shouldn't matter what brand or type (dino or syn) you use. If your engine clacks with one 5w-30 then it should also clack with another 5w-30.

if you went and asked Madame Cleo to look at her Tarot Cards for an answer to your oil question, it would be just as good as the one you will find in this thread.

if it's not makeing noise now it shouldn't with mobil 1 of the correct viscosity. if in the future it does develop noise it would be hard to prove it wouldn't have developed the noise if you still ran dino.

 

people who run dino also have the clicks and clacks. there is several TSB on clicks and clacks that GM claim is normal. none of them have anything to do with the oil except viscosity stuff running to thin/thick.

 

the reason you see more people with syn here getting the clicks and clacks is it's a enthuisast site and we use the best. meaning most are running mobil 1 or amsoil or german castrol(sp) with the odd redline and Royal purple.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
