Yes. Despite its robust add pack, I would keep the OCIs to a shorter or lesser interval as compared to a top-shelf synthetic though. I would accomplish OCIs between 3 and 4K miles.
Is that because the EB is hard on oil because I've done 5k in my Kia v6 many a time without issues on CS 5/30. But that engine is fairly easy on oil, very little/to no burning or fuel dilution to speak of. But I've never owned an EB so dunno...
Btw.. there's a $5 rebate on Supreme right now.
Correct! I don't believe CS will do well for longer periods in a turbo engine. Other than that it is a great oil. Use with confidence, but with shorter OCI's.
During our Alaskan summers and falls, I buy and use CS in my 5.3 Chevy LV8, but move to QSUD or the new Costco "Kirkland" 5W30 oils in the really cold winter months. 4K to 5K mile OCI's concerning the 5.3L.
With my newer DI engine, I'm changing between 3 and 3.5K miles -- fuel dilution is my issue. It's a known crappy little engine.
I believe EB engines are hard on oil as well. I would accomplish an oil analysis at 3K miles with CS, then judge how much further you should drive on it -- if at all.
Good luck and stay on-top of that nice EB engine! I think they have a good to great reputation; they are just turbo'ed.
Maintain it and it will be good to you.
