Thanks fellas for all of the input. I was hoping that I could do the 10k oil change like my Tacoma but I'll shorten it to 7500 next time. I'm surprised to see a modern engine like this that can't do 10k oil change.
Probably should have blacked out the email and phone. She has not put a ton of...
Recently, did a UOA for my wife's car. Just curious to see if 10k is ok or do shorter. MOLY looks pretty good. The mileage on the report said 24k but it has 28k when the oil was changed. Mobil 1 with the Fram Ultra.
Thanks

Most of the commutes are short trips except for later this week where I'll be camping in Mt Rogers. In regard to some of the other comments...
Since you guys are way more experience in this area, they recommend 8k next time. Reasonable? This is the first time that I did 6k oil change. All previous interval were 5k due to the free 2 yrs free maintenance. Now that it's over, I want to do longer interval. Thanks
I have run PP in mine 09 silverado 5.3l and was pretty happy with it. Well, I just upgraded to the Silverado 6.2l. I think I'm going to try PU when the truck has 1000 miles on it. Prob going to go with Napagold or P1 filter.

Wow! 15w-40? I don't think I would ever...
That's what I'm thinking. Run maxlife to see if it will help with the leak. This will be the first time I'm using maxlife. I have heard so many great things about it.
I recently bought my dad a 95 lesabre with 51k miles on it. The engine seems to run great but I'm really not sure how well it has been taken care of in the past. I have run a bottle of autorx in it for 2.5k miles and dino for another 3k miles. It does have a very leak somewhere. I'm really...
I just bought an '09 silverado and I changed the oil at 600 miles. I could not believe all the [censored] that came out. That's why I'm a little nervous about letting her car run for that long before the first oil change. There are so many different opinion over on the crv forum while the mind...
Somebody please clarify this up for me. My sister recently bought a '09 CRV. Therefore, I have read up on the CRV forum about people's experiences with first oil change and I'm now more confused than ever. Many folks there recommend not to do a first change until the OLM is telling you so. But...
