My 07 Tahoe now has 268,000 miles on it. I have put 241,000 of those on it myself.
I religiously change the oil at worse case 3,500 miles and use what I think is a decent oil filter - Puralator One or the high end Wix. As far as oil, I have used Valvoline HM 5-30 for the last 150k. It will use about a half quart once the mileage on that change is above 2,500.
I have been wondering if a change in vis to 10-30 at this point in the engine's life is warranted due to wear. Will that improve lubrication and oil life?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim
