I have a 2010 Silverado 5.3 with the 6l80 with 65000 miles and original fluid to my knowledge. I will be replacing the pan with a PML deep pan which will add about two quarts to the capacity and changing the filter, refilling, and adding a bottle of lubegard red.
I have a couple questions though,
I do want to do at least two more drain and fills after to get out as much of the old fluid as possible and wondering how long should I go in between each drain and fill?
I have used valvoline maxlife in a Honda with over 300,000 miles on it with good luck and its still on the road. Is it compatible with the dexron vi or should I stick with the factory fluid.
If I am able to use the maxlife I have 12 quarts of it in original bottles but they were refilled from a bulk barrel of maxlife about a year and a half ago. Is their a shelf life on it or is it still good as long as the bottles stay closed?
