So last year I bought a new 2009 G6. It has that Oil life Monitoring System that I dont particularly like haha.
I drive quite abit, from about 50 miles to 30k miles ive been using the dealership cheap oil changes that use GM goodwrench for 12.95+ tax w/ a filter, so its pretty cheap. Personally, I dont like taking it down all the way to 10% or 0% oil life. I ususally would go about 4,000 miles when its still at like 50%? Its mind blowing, I wouldn't go almost 10,000 miles on conventional oil...
Ive been checking the oil, the oil looks clean but I get this black stuff on the paper towl to check oil. I wouldn't call it sludge its not thick just bothers me that my oil is clean but im getting something else on my oil.
Now I just switched to Pennzoil Ultra 5w30 to keep my engine clean. I will change it every 5k miles. Would that be the best to keep my car runnings strong?
