i'm 4500 miles into my oil change the oil is still cleanthe issue starts from the first owner some will change it every 7.5 or 10k miles that is if you only want the engine not to last very long...
I change as soon as i see carbon flakes floating in it.... honestly i;m a bit surprised its still clean.. but normally there will be some carbon flakes floating around at 4500 miles.... the engine mostly runs between 1000 and 2000 rpm Never driven higher then that RPM..
I gotta ask, How do you see carbon flakes floating around? And i have to raise theas i am 60 years old and seen alot of things in life but clean oil in a combustion engine crankcase at 4500 miles is not one of them? Im not hacking, just saying the fish you caught was not that big! lol
go get a Genuine corvette oil pump shell run 40-50PSI idle and 70-75PSI on a cold start
you can see them once the filter is by passed and not filtering anymore..
I am confused by some of your statements. Do you choose to drive 10 mph all the time like a snow plow or(haven't read entire thread)? Also when was the last time you have seen modern engine oil destroy an engine due to deposits? There are plenty of people running very extended oil changes with oil analysis done and zero problems. We don't use paraffin, graphite or other deposit prone materials in our oil anymore. Hell dino oil can be left for a year and 5-7k plus on several engines for 300+k miles just fine including lots of idle time, short trips etc. like a police car, ambulance, cab. Dark oil is not necessarily dirty oil, you should do yourself a favor and jump on Bob is the oil guy and do some reading there is a ton of good oil education on there
Getting these oils with rebates they have out 2 times a year is a steal. It’s like 2.50 a quart after the rebates. I did buy some Kirkland oil to try and test out when I do my oil change. It’s made by Warren dist. My guess it’s the same as supertec but sone of the reading I have done that good oil too. For me I don’t think it matters too much. I do 3k changes. It’s cheap insurance. 4 times a year for at 20 min each. No brainer.
it's not a typical 4L60E
x2 what swat2380/Jason said
what it's true the tiny push rods that carry oil to the top of the engine will get clogged over time there is this one guy with his 5.7L and it takes 45 seconds for oil to reach the top of the engine those tiny tubes get clogged easy
The Oil Can your talking about is still available today. Look on ebay you can buy cases of the oil but it comes in cans.How fookin' old is that jet oil? I haven't seen an oil can since the 70s!

Had a white Tahoe exactly like the one in the video. Those 5.7's are great motors except that they only have 200 H.P.
If your able to remove your filter by hand your not getting it tight enough. I have never been able to remove a filter by hand.
that is incorrect if you have a hybrid engine it's quite useful as the oil pan is a weird shape on the 6.0l engine(LFA) other wise someone might get lazy and not install it correct
ive never seen anyone else able to remove a filter i put on by hand able to remove it with thier hands. ive also been doing this for quite some time and the filter bodys are still dry when i remove them and my vehicles dont require any oil between oil changes. ive actually had people ask what i put the filter on with because it was too tight. maybe you should do some strength building exercises. im also usually able to remove a filter by hand that i never put on.
