Hi all!
Never thought so much about oil etc before, but this is the last vehicle I want to buy and want to make sure I take the best care of it from the beginning. I tried to address all the great points the sticky asked for
I am looking for the best options for my vehicle for both oil and filter. I prefer to change more often than less, meaning I don't care for 25,000 mile stuff. I have no problem paying more for quality.
Vehicle currently has about 900 miles on it. I know GM includes two free services but I will do one myself prior to their recommended interval anyways, probably next 100 miles or so.
I was leaning towards Mobil 1, then reading on another forum that pointed me here I had heard about AMSOIL. I like their idea of a membership and shipping directly to me also.
Thank you for your help!

- 2017 Chevy Silverado, Crew Cab, LT Z71
- Manual says SAE 0W-20, with Dexos1 certification. Interval states to go off of OLI ( Oil Life Indicator ) but also I think 3,000 miles as a fallback. "If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) since the last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed."
- I live in the Easy Bay Area, California
- Drive is probably a between easy and hard. I like to accelerate a bit
- Most driving is short trips, city driving. I work from home so no commute. Some highway of course.
- No known issues that I am aware of!
