Synthetic Oil

[Z71Silverado]

it seems to here the majority of people here have very nice gmc or silverado pickups. i am just curious to know how many of you guys/girls run synthetic oil and what kind you run??? i have always ran 5 quarts mobile 1 with a quart of the lucas pure synthetic additive. the company i work for was just informed by our supplier that the the mobil 1 company will not be able to produce mobile 1 for about 6 months due to some sort of additive that they need to make it. has anyone else heard this? we are being supplied pennzoil synthetic oil in place of mobil 1. what do you guys think about the pennzoil synthetic?

Google "Bob is the oil guy" and go to that website alot of people run PP Synthetic and like it. I run it in my 07 works fine. Used oil Anaylsis always looks good. You can get Valvoline Synthetic for about 10 bucks cheaper though!

If an oil analyst comes back within spec, this is acceptable.

 

...BTW I use Amsoil only....about the same intervals.

[smattei14]

At least I am not the only person that....understand that ASMOIL is the best and you CAN change it every 20 or 30k

 

I know most of you think that I am crazy...but do some research and try it......IT WORKS....AND IT SAVES YOU MONEY.

No thanks, I spend $60/year changing my oil every 3000 miles. Cheap way of knowing I ALWAYS have clean oil in my engine.

[smattei14]

I totally understand changeing you oil every 3k....

 

i just hope you use Snyethic oil vs reg oil....reg oil does not give you the best protection.

 

Mobil 1 and Val. are the best snythetic oils

IMO......

 

I run Valvoline 5W30 conventional and have been for 26 years and never have had an oil-related issue in my life.

 

Sorry, not a fan of Synthetic engine oil, and no "oil analysis" or any other BS will ever convince me otherwise.

HA, that guy changes his oil every 20-30K and I change mine every 2K. That is a world of difference...mine is 'so fresh and so clean"

[Bish]

I use Amsoil and change every 10K. According to my oil analysis it starts to break down about 11-12 so I do it at 10K.
