Update I have 265/60 R18 tires and use the truck mostly on the road and pulling a trailer up to 4000lbs Around twice a month. No off road except jobsites.

What tires are people using on a GMC Canyon? I do not like the Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude tires that came on mine, very slippery on wet roads. Looking at Cooper Evolution HT2 just not sure yet. I want to see what a lot of you with this truck have for tires and how good are they. I have a 2021...

I had a 78 chevy truck with a 305 and it used about a qt every 1500 miles. I used NAPA 15-40 fleet oil which is diesel oil. I drove it a 100,000 miles using that and sold it then with 250K. Never seemed to hurt it. I always used a 2 qt Fram oil filter cause the oil and filter I got from the...

About 20K

It is around 20K

My daughter has a 4 cyl 2022 VW Atlas. It has been using oil at about 1 Qt around 1000 miles. It is under warranty and has been back to the dealer several times. So far all they do is top it off and say that is normal. I see oil around the filter housing or whatever they call the place where the...

Damm, what a load of BS. I have two Honda small engines one V-twin 20HP and one single 8HP, along with a generic lawnmower and a Yamaha golf cart. All these engines have used 15-50 M1, 15-40 diesel oil, M1 10-40HM and now M1 10-30. Some are 20 years old and never an oil related problem. All are...

I want to use this to top off my 2019 Jeep GC and a 2021 Canyon, makes it easy as it says for most 2012 to 2022 North American vehicles. Has anyone used this and troubles if any?

I plan on using this for top off in my 2021 Canyon and a 2019 Grand Cherokee, both V6 engines. Neither need a change for a while.

I had a 2.8 TBI V6 in a 1993 S-10 I always ran M1 15-50 in it and never a problem for 150,000 miles.

I ran a 1978 C10 with a 305 and always used 10-30. At 85,000 miles it needed a timing chain new gears and a cam because of two flattened lobes. The guy who did it used steel gears not nylon tipped and a Crane Economaster 2 cam and lifters. He told me to use 10-40 and I did for another 150,000...

I will be using the OEM AC Delco filter for my 2021 GMC Canyon Elevation V6. They don't look bad and the dealer used one on my one free OCI. The service tech said to do OCI's at around 5,000 miles. I'm sure they will be ok for that mileage. BTW I'm using Mobil 1 5-30. It has Delco 5-30 SYN in it...

I used to use NAPA 14-40 Universal Fleet in my outboard, generators and all my 4 stroke equipment. I was getting it for free and it never caused any problems. I replaced it with Mobil 1 10-40 High Mileage. I also now use it in my Yamaha golf cart.

Back then it was just Mobil1 10w30 synthetic, there were'nt many synthetics available in the early eighties.

I bought a 1980 Olds Cutlass V8 and used Castroil GTX for 50,000 miles. I had a valve cover leak and pulled borh sides for new gaskets, what I found was shocking. There was a waxy build up on the cyl heads that I uses a small spoon to remove and had to wire and blow out the oil returns. I got...
