Hello Guys,
New to the board, but love the site.
Just picked up a 1999 4wd Chevy Suburban with a 454 and 90000 miles. Looking at the VOA's and UOA's, the Chevron Supreme Dino stuff looks pretty good.
My engine calls for a 5-30 weight oil. With the added miles, living in a part of California that never freezes but can get to over 110 degrees in the summer, Chevrons 10-30 and 10-40 weight caught my eye. What do you think?? Big Blocks are known to run hotter than small blocks, would the 10-40 weight be too much?? Truck is completely stock, tows a trailer with a max weight of 4000 lbs on occasion. I have used Chevron Delo 15-40 in our 1985 Chevy Blazer with a 6.2 Liter Diesel. Still going strong with 174000 miles on the clock. Just figured the additves package might be better in the Chevron Supreme for my gas 454. At this point I want to stay with dino oil as opposed to synthetics. Any comments or technical advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
outback dude
