2020 GMC Sierra 1500 w/3.0 Duramax: M1 Dexos D rated 0W-20/ACD UPF-66 Filter 81k Miles 2016 Toy Highlander w/3.5 V6: M1 OW-20/Toyota filter 104k Miles I run 5k OCI's on both and have since new. I don't depend on the OLM to tell me when to change it!

12Qts M1 ESP 0W20 and 3 ACD UPF66R Filters for future oil changes in my 2020 GMC Sierra with the "Mini Max" Diesel which required "Dexos "D" oil.

I accrued 61k on my 3.0 Duramax and under "normal" conditions see about 1/2Q consumption at my 6k OCI. If I've hauled my truck camper that increases to about a quart low when I go to change it. Not a big deal in my book considering how well it does it's job! DEF usage also increases considerably...

7Qts of "Dexos D" M1 0w-20 and an ACD PF66 for my 3.0 Duramax.

Some of you REALLY need to loosen up....You're taking this stuff WAAAAAAY too seriously. IF someone has "ruined" and engine by taking what they see on YT from some amateur with clever testing seriously than it's their own **** fault. Use what's spec'd for your engine regardless of what you read...

I can get 30+ MPG in my 1973 MGB running on 20w-50 on the highway when running around 62MPH running the original dual carb setup.

1973 MG(B) 1.8l I4. 120k...... ST 20w50 Bosch Distance Plus filter.

That's all you really NEED to do....oil change interval is usually far more important than the oil itself.

Oh, I don't know about that. Plenty have alluded to this specifically in the "it's only there to get you to the warranty expiration" type statements.

In: Super Tech Synth 5w 30 and Fram filter Out: Unknown...this is my first oil change in this 2008 Toyota Solara with 3.3l V6.

A lot of paranoia over that belt. A friend of mine is a 26 year GM tech sup and said that's no ordinary timing belt. He said GM has considered raising that to 200k for replacement/inspection because of it's quality so that means it'll probably be able to well exceed that. Also, the tranny...

So why do most credentialed experts disagree??? Some conspiracy by big oil??? And by "cold" are we defining ambient temp or oil temp?

5 qts of Supertech 5w30 and two filters to fit my new to me Toyota Solara convertible with 100k on it and a 3.3l V6. Luckily for me, I found it about 80 miles away and literally bought it from a little old lady who bought it new in 2008 and has all the receipts for anything done to it including...

I vote for winter as well. Living here in NE Wisconsin where we have a legit winter with frequent negative temps, I believe it's a much more harsh environment for everything mechanical...and living for that matter.

It'll be fine. Drive it as usual and it'll evaporate rather quickly.
