I have a brand new Yukon Denali, with roughly 2000 miles. It is actually a 2019 model year, manufactured in March of 2019, so the truck sat on the dealer's lot for roughly a year prior to being sold to me.
Due to that, I want to get the first oil change done early. My gut says the oil in there is the factory fill, and having sat and been idled for a year can't be good for it. Would you all agree, or am I being overly cautious?
The owner's manual recommends 0W-20 Dexos1.2 approved oil. Given I am located in Iowa, I would like to keep that 0 weight for winter driving. I tow a 1200 lbs trailer occasionally, but that is definitely not hard for the truck, so I am not worried about that use.
I would typically go straight to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, but it seems that it is not Dexos1.2 approved. Pennzoil Platinum is however. Should I use Platinum, or is there a better oil out there? This is a long term car, so after this oil change i plan to follow 5k intervals, regardless of the oil life indicator.
Should I stick with a GM OEM filter, or is there a better brand that others have found?
Thanks!
