    Valvoline ML Sync 5w30, 15,941km, '07 Chev Express

    I wonder if they'll ship to Canada? I would imagine shipping would be outrageous... Maybe I am better off going with the other synthetic that was recommended to me, M1 HM. For what it's worth I talked to my buddy and the OLM came on at 13,000 km (8000 miles). Very interesting!

    Currently using an AC Delco filter do you think going to something better like a Napa Gold (Wix) would be beneficial?

    Valvoline ML Sync 5w30, 15,941km, '07 Chev Express

    Just thought I might add the OLM was reset at the first oil change and came on about 1000km before we did the oil change above.

    Valvoline ML Sync 5w30, 15,941km, '07 Chev Express

    Originally wanted to do 10,000 km, but ended up going to 16,000 km on oil change for friends work van. Oil was 1/2 litre low, was not topped up between oil changes. The lab actually messed up the results they sent me first and when I phoned and asked why the TAN/TBN was only for the new oil they...

    Express work van dyno to synthetic recommendations

    Buddy that owns work van phoned last night wanting to get some more maintenance done he has put about 13,000km (8000 miles) since the change to synthetic. Was planning on getting a UOA but is it alright to go by GMs Oil life monitor? Or is a UOA required to extend the OCI? Also when/if getting...

    Express work van dyno to synthetic recommendations

    I have a 2007 Chevrolet Express 2500 (8,600# GVRW) with a 4.9L. It has 85,000 miles (135,000 km) on the clock. It is in need of some preventative maintenance but aside from that runs fairly well. It is being used as a work van, getting used daily hauling around tools and supplies (500+ pounds)...

On all my vehicles in the past, as well as other family/friends north american cars, I have usually found I...

    Recommended synthetic for roller 355

    I will start to price out oil and see what the cost difference is and availability. Definately leaning towards PP or QSUD ater researching them. Will also do UOA and will see how my oil pressure is this summer with the W30. Thinking about running 2500-3000KM on the dino oil that is in the engine...

    Recommended synthetic for roller 355

    I was hoping to get 10,000km or more for OCI. The other reason for synthetic would be if the car sits for a long time. If I have understood it right conventional oil will loose its additives over time even without much milage on it. Where as synthetic does not. I don't want to park the car for...
