2002 s10 195k miles

[Georgiaboy2109]

Looking for a suggestion for my next oil change. 2.2l 4 cylinder. Truck sees 80mph at 3200rpm for about an hour each day. Last oil change I used Valvoline Conventional.

+1. 10W-40 HM in the Georgia heat for prolonged higher RPM's in a well-worn engine

The oil that was used to get it to 195,000 miles. Why change brands? I use VWB 5w30 in my 2005 Chevy Avalanche with 173,000 miles.

Especially since you're already using Valvoline, anyway.

Does your S10 have the OLM? Do you follow it?

Are you experiencing oil consumption due to leaks or some internal consumption factor?

Supertech 10w30

One of our suppliers uses the same kind of truck. It only gets maintenance when something breaks. Last month it was a ball joint that sent it and its driver careening into oncoming traffic.

I seriously doubt if it gets its oil changed more than every 15-20k using whatever oil is cheapest and its getting close to 300k.

I say just maintain yours and it will be fine.

I have a 2001 with 207k, it's not picky, any 10w30 will do.

^ what this Sir said.

My dad's 2000 S10 2.2 Auto - is around the same mileage - Castrol High Mileage or Pennzoil High mileage 5W30 is what I run in his. Doesn't skip a beat. It's a gutless wonder but it runs good.

2400 miles per month of mostly highway? Sounds like a real good candidate for Amsoil or M1 and extended OCI.

Val maxlife 10w30 and 5w30 around xmas.

 

[Alex38]

MaxLife 10w30 in the warmer month, 5w30 MaxLife in the winter.

Another vote for maxlife 10w30

 

[bigt61]

I'd use 10W-30 SuperTech if it doesn't use/leak oil. If it does, go with MaxLife.

 

[Georgiaboy2109]

In my situation is there any advantage in using a 10W-40 over 5W-30?
