sadly due to almost freezing weather i sucked 4 quarts (5w30 PUP) out of my 1996 Tahoe (285,600 total miles) dipstick tube at 6600 miles and replaced it with a gallon of Rotella T6 5w40.
plan to change hard to remove filter as soon as i get a good weather day to climb under it.
Out - Chevron 5W-30 and AC UPF53 Ultraguard filter - ~2800 miles and 8 months on the oil/filter.
In - Same Chevron 5W-30 and AC UPF53 filter (I bought a case of these when Rockauto closed them out at $2 per).
This car belongs to my high school senior daughter and every trip is 5-10 miles to and from school and activities. So I dumped it at 2800 miles as I think it's "severe duty".....What do you think?
I have two more 5 qt jugs of the Chevron left, so the Highlander will get two more doses of it. Then plan on switching to Supertech 5W-30 or the new Kirkland 5W-30.
