2005 Chevy Uplander 3.5 V6
5W-30 GM Specs are GM6049M2 Starburst and API. Currently changing conventional at OLM. SYN was at 8-10K
Vehicle based in Florida with road trip to Georgia and TN 2-3 times a year. This van see a little of everything: Stop and GO, hard and fast average 300-400 miles a week.
I was using a full Syn with pure 1 filter and mobil 1 filter. I started to develop an issue with low oil pressure warnings and a decrease in fuel mileage. I shorted the change interval same issue, now developing oil burnoff/use. Switch back to conventional gas mileage increase and still have the burnoff/ use issue. My friend/ mechanic tells me to live and deal with, he finds no reason for the oil use.
Any suggestions on what oil to try next? At this point in time I just want to drive it until it dies, it has served my family well. I just want to see how far/long I can it running before major repairs.
Thanks for your input and advice.
