2011 GMC Acadia 3.6L
Renewable Lubricants (RLI) HD Low ash 5w-30
Mobil 1 M7-212 filter
10,416 miles on oil
82,369 total miles
This is the longest I have been able to go on an oil change on this Acadia. Terry Dyson told me at 5k to keep the oil in for another 5k. I sent the sample off to see how it did. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Happy with the fact that it was in for 10k miles and no oil consumption. Seems a bunch over on the Acadia forum are having issues with oil use.

Seems that GM is recommending more frequent oil changes on the 3.6 do to timing chain issues
Also replaced the coolant overflow tank, replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses with Gates hoses, and filled with Supertech universal long-life coolant.
Last week it also got 4 new Pirelli Cinturato tires. This is the first set of Pirelli's I've had since sometime in the 80's and I am very impressed.
(The new oil/filter will be going ~10,000 miles, depending on the UOA results on the above drain)
Oil in: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w20
Filter on: Fram Ultra XG3614
