I stopped by a friends house yesterday and he was doing the first OCI (at 5K) on his 2011 Equinox. He had gone to Napa for the Napa synthetic that I told him about. I guess they had old stock because it was SM rated.
My friend was a once a year OCI guy with synthetic but I told him the new DI engines can be harder on oil and that he should probably stick with 5K changes.
The funny thing is he gets high mileage out of his cars
despite not being terribly concerned about oil brand (he always uses synthetic) or OCI interval.
I assume the SM oil won't be a problem....I didn't even point it out to him.
