Back to 0W20 for New Motor Suckas

This is why I don’t think they could ever say it’s the oil causing a problem if you use thicker. It’s always thicker cold and runs just fine. Well supposedly lol.

Yep, did you notice any change in mpg now that you've run it a bit? I don't believe there would be any change there either.

I don’t believe there is. My lifetime has dropped a tenth of a point but I think that’s my foot lol. I highly doubt changing the oil a few 100 miles ago made a change over the 7-8000 I put on it since I got the truck.

I doubt my 12.5 average will move one way or another. A better test will be my wife's Tahoe as she drives normally.

Well, mine is better than that according to the DIC. Granted, I haven't had a need to tow or anything. My lifetime is at 15.1. That's with a heavy foot, aggressive driving and a general disdain for people in my way lol.

Well, I'm constantly getting shut down by the speed limiter and my average is only 13.3. I'm tired of getting that damn message projected on my windshield in the HUD.

Yall are not trying hard enough. Single digit mpg is the goal.

I got rid of mine last Friday! Got offers for trade in from 56,000 - 59,000 This ZR2 1500 MSRP was $75,950 with 8,500 miles.
I got an average of about 18-19 mpg using Premium gas mostly Highway (.40-45 Cents higher gas price)
Traded it in on a Chevy 2500 HD with 6.6 gas.
I will miss the color, (Slate Gray) and some of the bells and whistles. I did not get on a LT Trim level. But MSRP was $9,000 cheaper
Hopefully I can go in to retirement this year, and travel with not worrying about will I make it back home or to my destination.

So you can trade it in. Even looked at Ford and they offered about the same for a trade in.
one month ago trade in was valued at 57,776 - 62,777

I had to ask myself who is going to want to buy one that does not get a new motor?
