I live in Miami where it hot and humid all year long plus have constant gridlock plus a/c is constantly on. I just hit 170K miles. I have been using 0w20 since I bought it back in 2016. Bought it brand new. Uses zero oil between 5K oil changes. If there was a issue using 0w20 I think I would known it by now. I also idle here and there for periods of time to keep the a/c on. Even though I live in Miami I actually hate the heat.2020 5.3 calls for 0w-20, what do you use in hot climates?
How much total mileage do you have now? What year and engine do you have?I use 5w-30 year round. Even.......in........-20F!!!!!! And have never had an issue. I stopped using 0w-20 110k miles ago. In a hot climate I would go with 5w-30 if it were my vehicle. To each their own.
I have 2 Yukon Denalis. 2008, 6.2L, 183k miles. 2017, 6.2L, 151k miles. I use 5w-30 in both.How much total mileage do you have now? What year and engine do you have?
It would help if you put that info in your signature. Thank you.
