Just bought it:
2002 Chevy 1/2 ton van
5.7L engine
210K miles on it
5w-30 Pennzoil dino in it now
According to original owner, has had either 5w-30 synthetic or dino in it
3K changes with the dino, 7.5K changes on the synthetic.
I haven't looked at the inside of the engine.
Current fill of dino has 1K on it, looks in good condition, I had to add 1/2 qt.
Original owner says it uses about a qt of oil per oil change.
I plan on driving it once a week or so, highway miles, going easy on it.
Van has resided in south Texas it's whole life.
I have all the receipts on everything done on it since new, well maintained.
Seems to have a small leak, but seems like it's the tranny.
What oil do you guys recommend I use?
