I bought my VPBE from Napa. Even though it isn't still on sale, the last I saw they were doing 20% off online orders over $100 putting it at $28 a gallon.

That's a LOT of metal for 3800 mile intervals. I'm running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 on a 24 model 6.2 that is under the recall and my iron level was a 5 for a 5000 mile interval. I can show you the UOA if you would like.

I agree. I'm going to err on the side of caution. I'm running Valvoline for this interval and I'll test it again. I have enough Valvoline to do another change with it and if I can't get into the 13.0 or higher range with viscosity at 5k miles due to the fuel dilution, then I am going to go...

This is also the same engine under the recall. It has been checked out, but I have the 150k mile warranty on it. I'm just going to keep rolling at 5k intervals and if Pennzoil Ultra Platinum keeps going up on cost and gets close to Amsoil, I'll switch to it. I noticed at Walmart today it was...

I bought the 5 quart jugs of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at $26 a jug at Walmart when they were on sale. The rebate ended up making it around $4 a quart. I still have around 54 quarts left. With the 6.2 having all the issues they are having, I'm going to stay with what is working. Especially...

Really happy with my used oil analysis for the Tahoe. This is with a Donaldson oil filter and an Elite Engineering catch can. This is my second oil change with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Even though the recommendation is to move to 6,000 to 7,000 oil changes, I'm staying at 5,000 mile intervals.

Yeah, I was listening to Lake Speed Jr. talk recently and he talked about changing their ratings for fuel dilution with powerstrokes because of how much fuel they produce in the oil. There was very little towing on this run. Mostly driven back and forth to work about 17 miles one way. Another...

Wear values look good, but I'm concerned with the fuel dilution and how much the oil sheared. I looked at moving to Schaeffer's OTR 5w40 but its base viscosity is 13.5 to 15.0 according to Schaeffer's website so I'm staying away from it. I have now switched to Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme...
