185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck. This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k. -

Last three days, 12.75". Yesterday, 6" of it in under 2 hours. Lawn loved it, basement not so much. 😏 -

At what point "between" were you refilling them? (1/2qt, 1/4qt) Did you ever overfill any? What did you do if you did? Further to my opinion, I don't want to keep or have a bunch of 1/2 quarts laying around in the garage. That kind of forces a wait until it's down to the 'full' quart low mark. And if I'm in spitting distance of an oil change anyways, I'm not dumping a new quart in to drain it back out a month later. That mindset is geared more to the darn near 10 qt capacity of the current fleet, being 10% low is a much different animal than 20%. -

What 'more' are you referring to? I'm not asking anything more than what the LS engine has been doing basically for nearly three decades. They aren't spinning significantly faster, I doubt the loads placed on those components has changed significantly. Even the oil weight has been the same since at least 2007, when 5w-20 was the spec for my Silverado. (The 2016 might be 0-20... don't fault the memory) I wonder if a manufacture would ever do a 'limited' lifetime power train warranty, that covers more or less a long block, block (rotating assembly, heads, cam, LIFTERS, timing set) plus transmission internals. I don't need an alternator, O2 sensor, radiator, etc. warranty, but if it requires a machin shop to fix... Oddly enough, Kia (I think) used to offer something ridiculous on the power train, GM used to have a 5 year 100k power train, and some dealers offer 'engines for life' here. Without delving into the fine print... -
Maybe I missed that...getting old. Yes, I would use Techron first then use the Chevron gas to help keep them clean. Back in the day, I was a Service Manager for a BMW dealer and we would use the walnut shells to clean the exhaust port in the head, but, everything had to come apart and a special machine would blast the chamber with the shells and vacuum it out at the same time. It is not for a "Harry home owner" to do. I wouldn't bother if it is running smooth. There my nickel. LOL
