Fellow BITOGr’s. My wife and I are currently evaluating the addition of a very fuel efficient used car to our stable to reduce gas costs. We are only thinking about it now, running the numbers to see if it makes sense. Here is the scenario. Currently the wife drives the Subaru Forester that...

Just purchased a new 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 4wd with the tried and true 6.0L and 4.10 rear end. Was looking thru the maintenance recommendations and noticed that there is no recommended change interval for the front and rear difs even on the severe service. I thought in the past they did recommend...

Just saw this pop up on the news. GM is cutting the powertrain warranties for 2016 models to 60k miles from 100k. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gm-cut-chevy-gmc-powertrain-140049160.html How will this help sales?

A recent thread on here got me thinking about Transmission fluid change and failures. What I was wondering is if frequent fluid change can eliminate transmission failure. Let me add that I exclude from the question transmissions with design issues. As well my definition of frequent fluid change...

I recently cut open a Fram TG10060 that was on my 2012 Chevy Silverado 5.3L for ~5.5k miles. Everything looked really good, very pliable anti-drainback valve, very straight pleats, very strong end caps and very straight. However, when I looked really close inside one of the pleats there was a...

This is the second sampling for my 2010 Subaru Forester with the N/A 2.5L engine. The oil was 5w-30 Mobil 1 (SN) + 1/2 bottle of MoS2, Fram Ultra filter, and Fram air filter. Miles on the oil was 9088 miles and 58999 miles on the Forester total. The Forester is driven by my wife and sees trips...

I recently did an OC on my 2010 Subaru Forester. The Fram Ultra XG 6607 had been on there 9k miles and 10 months. It is never short tripped and does a combination of 50:50 city/highway 50 miles per day. The oil used was 5w-30 Mobil 1 + half a bottle of LM MoS2. The filter had no issues and...

I couldn't find any details about the new fluid except a few of the articles make mention of a new synthetic fluid in the new 8l90 GM transmission: http://www.offroadxtreme.com/news/detail...-silverado-1500 I wonder if there will be a new Dexron spec?

I have a question for fellow BITOG experts. I'm curious about heavy engine load and it's affect on the oil and engine stress. My particular example is for my GM 5.3L Silverado (2012 which has the 6 speed and 3.42 rear gear) where I tow a 7500lb travel trailer. When I'm towing the trailer and...

I ran this filter on my 2012 Silverado, Purolator L12222 about 8 months and 5k miles (oil is PP 5w-30). This truck did a lot of short tripping but it doesn't get too cold here in the Portland area. This is pretty severe service and the OLM ticks down twice as fast as if it was going on long...

Did everyone wake up this morning hoping we get the response to our questions to the Pennzoil team?
