hey guys! i know this has been discussed a million times, but never know what if our gm engines LOVE a specific type of oil.
So my truck is an 2007 escalade with a l92 vortec 6200 6.2L, on the original engine with 330,000 km's on it.
In the past it was always on Mobil 1 synthetic from the dealership, at 290k i started using amsoil for a couple changes, then royal purple for a couple, and now ive been running pennzoil ultra platinum. I heard the ultra platinum had the best protection from forums and stuff. There was some psi protection thing and Ultra Platinum had the best protection; The main problem with my engine is noisy lifters so im hoping an oil could silence that maybe, also winter is coming soon and temperatures could hit -35 celcius. I am going to be getting my oil changed soon, and i wanna try castrol edge extended performance since i havent tried it in this engine yet. With all the oils, I felt that the lifter noise was the same so maybe that will never get fixed but whatever. I guess i want the best oil for the cold winter coming up soon. Also I barely ever do any highway miles tho. its basically 90 percent driven short distances which is worse.
So since I haven't tried Castrol yet, I want to try the CASTROL EDGE EXTENDED PERFORMANCE but since my engine has alot of kilometers on it, i see they have a high mileage oil as well. CASTROL EDGE HIGH MILEAGE. Should I be running the high mileagle or it doesnt matter? ive never ran a high mileage oil before but i heard that they are usually of lower quality
