i WAS READING the owners manual and it said 5-30 only.....

a couple questions......now bear in mind I am an old fart and have not bought new in over 20 years.......

I used to leave the first oil in for only 500 miles or so and then change cuz back then they used a type of "break in oil"...........I assume this in no longer the case with the new technology and such...

I would like to go back with Mobile ONe and I assume this is legal with the factory?

I also plan on putting on a pre-oiler ( I will keep this thing till I croak ).....

Thanks

I am at 4.5k mi and 60 % oil use left. So oil every 10k. Makes sense to me.

Drain the first oil at 500 and put in Mobil 1. This gets rid of that initial metal floating around. My mileage went up about 1 mpg when I switched and is still climbing. :Chevy: Got 19.6 on last trip and turned over 6,500 mi. A guy with GM on another forum said you can use the oil moniter with Mobil 1. I'm an old guy also and was a little reluctant to use Mobil 1 until they started using it in Corvettes from the factory. Now I'm sold. :yesnod:
