Michael, are you limited to the # of oil changes you get on the gasser, per year?

16,600? How long have you had it?

The maintenance package included with mine was for 2 yrs, 24k miles.. a max of 3 oil changes. I've only done one so far.. I'm at about 11,500 miles so far with about 49% left on the OLM for this change.

Getting ready to order some oil for it

I used up my 2 free GM oil changes for the year, so I have to pay for the in betweener.

I get 2 more freebies starting in March

How many miles so far?

16,600

Going through about 5 gallons of DEF every 7K, and have yet to add any oil between changes @ 6-7K. The idle time in the cold weather has killed this oil change on the OLM. I only have 3K on it, and I am at 22%

I am really trying to live by the OLM on this engine. I am not sure if I will go full synthetic, and be done with the dealer oil changes, or just stick with the Mobil dino oil that they have been putting in.

I am at the Amsoil site, now. Ordering more 5w30 XL for momma's Tahoe, and 10w40 for the 'Busa...decisions, decisions...

Yours is thirsty on the sheep pee compared to how mine was... I wonder if it uses more when idling a lot?

Buy the Amsoil for the Dirty, it'll thank you, lol.

I'd also suggest a fuel filter change a little more often than the life meter suggests, the CP4 detests any possible restrictions or contaminants/water.

Yeah that is freaky. 16K miles, and the fuel filter life still shows 70%

 

[drperry]

Don't go lower than 50%.... Your fuel pump will thank you, lol

I'm not as pretty as Michael, but I'll answer anyway...it's a max of 4 oil changes over the 2 years for the gas trucks.

Your beard covers up a lot, though!

Really? 4?? My dealer told me 3, "So you can come in for one about every 8k miles."

 

[geektoad]

they might have cut one for 2015...or i might have gotten a freebie thrown in to due to 25 year history with the dealership and a close friend in the service department...not that it matters since I only got three in before it ran out anyway

Topped the tires and gas tanks in both before the winter storm hit so I can get through the week. Yes, it's going to be below 40 for a week with a little snow and we're all preparing like it's an upcoming apocalypse.
