Thread: Sythetic VS Regular 5W30

I'm using amsoil 5w30 and amsoil oil filter, going by the oil life indicator in the DIC, once it tells me its time to change oil I will, not before. I will send the old oil to blackstone labs for anaylisis and post my results

Incorrect. GM spent millions of dollars developing the oil life monitor. Lots of oil analysis done examining factors like engine load, engine temp, operating time, mileage, etc. It's quite accurate. I had my analysis done on some dino oil when the oil life monitor said about 10%, and the analysis agreed. It can be trusted.
