Which oil would you use in an 04 Chevy Suburban with the 5.3 L engine? I will not be pulling any trailers. I use amsoil in my corvette and mobile 1 in my S10. Any advantage to either in my suburban?
My take is regardless of what oil you use, "there is no solution like dilution". So, while I use synthetic oils, I do not adhere to the notion that one can go b'zillions of miles between OCI. IMHO, new vehicles are just too expensive to worry about extending the life of an oil change.quote:

Yeah, twice. Once at around 150K and again at 320K. Not sure about the ball joints, original I believe but we put more springs in the rear. Oh, and the diff blew at 180K. This vehicle pulled more loads then the law should allow.quote:

Have you guys had to replace the transmission at all? Also how are your Ball joints and tire rod ends/suspention doing at this kind of mileage?
Yes, about the same scenario as EmbarkChief.quote:
