Traded my tired 98 Z71 for a used GMC 1500 this week. My kids keep growing and the extended cab didn't cut it anymore. We opted for a short bed crew cab and 4 full doors. Previous owner never towed anything although it is equipped with a max trailering package. It has 86K on it. Manual says 5W-30.
We generally put 7500 miles on the truck a year mostly to hunting camp (85 miles one way) and occasional short trips (less than 10 miles) on weekends. It may go a week or two sometimes that it won't get driven at all. We are in central PA so temps range from 0 degrees to the 90's and the only towing I will do will be to occasionally get a ton of coal with a small trailer. Looks like it has a maintenance minder on it as I saw oil life at 96% scrolling through the menu. Not sure what the MM interval will be but was looking for suggestions on oil, filter and interval. Thanks.
