Anyone ever have warranty issues with newer vehicles if you do your own maintenance? I have a vehicle that has always been dealer serviced until things went south at said dealer worker and manager wise so I think I’m going to start doing the oil changes myself. I plan on using oem filter...

so basically zinc is the main thing to look for when selecting an oil.

makes sense it is a commercial engine and it does use a bit. Nothing crazy but I do see where it would be an issue in a commercial setting where they run them all day every day. Schaeffers makes a 15w40 racing oil that has a good dose of zinc that is probably what ill go with

I have a Kubota zero turn with the Kawasaki fx801v engine on it and this coming year will be its 2nd oil change. I used the OEM stuff last time since it was part of the deal when I bought it. I am exclusively Schaeffers and would like to put some in this one. They discontinued their 10w40 line...

Looks like ill be breaking out the ramps at the house. Done my own for years guess illl have to start again!

I had my fall maintenance done on my 19 Silverado 1500 this morning at my dealership. I had them do the oil change and tire rotation nothing crazy. All went well with the normal 45 minute or so wait. The service manager says your good to go I went and paid my bill and it ended up being $165.00...

I bought an extra one at the dealer a couple months back after I had an oil change done I was going on a trip and always like to throw an extra filter in the toolbox just incase I hit something on the road and puncture the one that’s on there “it’s happened before “. Anyway I asked the parts guy...

Literally just about any synthetic oil in the weight specified by your manual will do. Get the cheapest you can find napa has their house brand on sale sometimes. the last batch of oil I got for my 2019 silverado with the 5.3 was truegard oil. It came in a 5 gallon pail , Iv never heard of it...

Its good oil but I dont trust an oil that refuses to get officially licensed by a manufacturer.

I guess im glad my dealer does just what I ask them to do if its at the mileage and needs done for warranty i just tell them to do it. I do get what you mean by the upsell though. My personal preference im not a fan of aftermarket filters. Its not the quality of them its how big of a pain in the...

Ill go with myth on this one.

2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 4.8 liter. Ac delco 5w30 full synthetic with an AC delco pf46e filter.

It gets started and moved around and short trips to town a lot and idles to keep the battery charged up.

With winter approaching I have began doing oil changes for the winter. The new cars go to the dealer but I have an old Silverado with the 4.8 that I bought new in the fall of 99. Always done once every 6 months of AC Delco full synthetic in it. The past 5 years it hasn’t gotten ran much maybe...

My 2000 silverado just recently turned over 257,000 miles. My dad bought the truck new back in the fall of 99 and I bought it from him in 2011. The truck has been serviced at the local Chevy dealer since it was new. I have every receipt for the oil changes that he had done and that I have had...
