Found this at a local Hardware store that has lots of old stuff laying aound... They have several Bottles for $5 a bottle.. Whats the story on this stuff? Is it old? I cant find anything on it..

Just Picked up 10 Qts.... Will Report back in a few months with results...

Its uses a lot less when not towing... Im seeing 1/2 quart loss in 700 miles with no towing vs 2x as much towing....

I have a 2000 6.0l as well. Change it every 5K regardless of OLM ....THe OLM is based off of old conventional oil...

This is the reason that i go to a new Cadillac Dealership that just opened up near me, they use the more exspensive Uprf63r filter while the other Cad dealership used the cheap Pf 63 .... I was pissed at the,m big time....

Well I can report that QS Conventional was NOT the way to go! Ate 1 1/2 qts in 700 mostly towing miles.. Full synthetic burn way less, but you guys already knew that!

Ok. Finally hit 300K, Going with Quaker State Conventional(semi-Syn) 10w-40... $16 at walmart fpr 5 quarts...as an experiment to see how the next 1000 miles goes... So far, great oil pressure at Idle (40 psi) cold.....will report back..

Ok Well, After Putting on the new Updated Driverside Valve cover, I can report that after 1000 miles, it still uses one Quart of Oil! The new cover doesnt have a removable PVC valve like the original one did, it looks to be a permanant built in one... So Im due soon to Change my oil at the 300K...

Im going to order that new one now and report back in a few months...Thanks!

Ok, so Got the 15w-40 in there, and so far Oil Pressure back up quite a bit! Hot Idle used to be at 20Psi, now at about 35psi. and Highway psi went from 38 to 55 Psi.... These are number that the truck used to have in its younger days... Will report back in a few thousand miles as far as...
