Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4
Engine: 5.3L V8 Ecotec3 (L83) - 8 quart capacity
OCI mileage: 7,304 miles (145 hours)
OCI length: 3 months
OLM: 4%
Oil: Mobil 1 AFE 0W-30 (6 quarts) and M1 AFE 0W-20 (2 quarts)
Oil Filter: Fram Ultra XG10575
Make up oil: none
Driving conditions: 85/15 (Highway/City)
My thoughts: First run with 0W-30. Not 100% 0W-30 as I used up 2 quarts of 0W-20. Consumption was about the same as previous OCI (probably about 1/2-3/4 quart). Not enough to make me want to add. I'll chalk up aluminum increase due to cold winter starts. New oil was 100% M1 0W-30.
