Nice results. I always felt this oil was a sleeper. Wear metals are low, especially for a Chevy.

Sheared just a bit but, looks great!

Seems as though you have found a good oil for your applications.

I'm happy that its good, even happier that it's cheap!

Yeah...I thought the same. Thanks for posting this one, too.

Does this year Silverado have an OLM? If so do you know the % remaining?

 

[hcbarger]

It does have OLM. I can't remember exactly but I think it had about 20% left.

Looks great. Wear metals are very low. Viscosity is right at the low end for 30-weight, but you could probably go another 1000 miles.

But the notes are the best part.

+1 on the Blackstone comments. I love em.

I picked-up four cases of the Kendall Full Syn 5W30 from a local distributor. I will be going in the Xterra and Frontier on their next OC.

 

[RedOakRanch]

I dont have Kendall oil in my area but if "FS" is full synthetic shouldn't it be good for 10k? I have been running 10k-15k OCI for so long anything less seems strange now even though I do realize I am in the minority here.

Very nice report, I'd run that oil a few thousand past the OLM. It's likely good for at least 10k. How big is the sump in that 5.3?
