guys i bought the wife a 2011 suburban to haul the kids around. it has 120k on it. not sure of past maintenance but i changed the oil with pennziol platinum 5w30 when i got it. i just changed it again at 5000 miles and it was pretty dark. it also used 1.5 qts in that 5000 miles. my mechanic tells me its a pcv issue and hes gonna fix it tomorrow and give it a tune up.
anyway the current oil fill is pennziol platinum again with a fram ultra filter. i bought the better filter because the thing is so small.
anyhow what do you guys think i should run? my mechanic is going to send me pics of the valvetrain when he has it apart so hopefully i can poat those tomorrow as well.
this truck is used daily to haul 4 kids to 4 different schools. then my wife goes to work for a couple hours and repeats the process is reverse. all in town. alot of idling waiting in line to get kids.
once a month or so we go to grammas. she lives an hour away. all highway.
