oil change for the ss

[turboawd]

sooner or later, the time will come to change the oil.
what brand and weight oil is recommended? capacity?
also, what is the oil filter part# ?
and lastly, how do you reset the oil life monitor?

[Fishhunter911]

Manual says the OIL cap states Mobile 1 and I think 5w-30

[GTPprix]

I'm just going to be putting Mobil 1 back in it, to reset the oil life monitor turn the truck to run and press the gas pedal to WOT three times within 5 seconds.

[TB SS]

I just turned 800 miles on my TB SS. In the old days, it would be past time to do the first oil change. What's the current recommended mileage for the first oil change on the LS2 w/ synthetic?

I'm going to go with the recommended Mobile 1 and the appropriate A/C filter myself.

[Envoy Fan]

you can reset the life monitor through the dic go to oil life screen and hold the return key on the steering wheel .

:yes: Just use your DIC :x

It came from the factory with Mobil 1 in it. :yes:

[TrailblazerSS]

Mine got Royal Purple and an AC Delco filter on the first change.

[Red SS]

Royal Purple and AC Delco filter is what my truck is getting

it states that the filter is a acdelco PF46, oil is mobil 1 15w-30, and oil capacity is 6 quarts.

[SS TITANIC]

What about AMSOIL? Anybody heard anything bad about them?

[LS2NSUV]

I dumped my factory Mobil 1 as soon as I could and filled it with cheap valvoline for the break-in (1000 miles). I don't think the rings seat in with the synthetics (or at least it takes longer). I'll put in some amsoil after I hit 1000 miles.

Welcome to the forum :yes:

:undecided So all the Vettes and Caddys and etc. that have been getting factory fill Mobil 1 never got their rings seated?

Just to catch a typo before someone freaks out about using the "wrong" oil.

5w30 is the correct weight. :)

[BIGBOS]

The rings will seat fine...

If your car does eat a quart every 500 miles.....then that might be a realated problem :)

I'll put in some amsoil after I hit 1000 miles.is it possible that gm puts normal oil in at the factory, but just expects you to switch to mobil1 after the first oil change?

granted, motors these days get machined a lot more precise. which could mean almost no break-in required.

[ScarabEpic22]

They manufacture the first fully synthetic motor oil. Never heard anything about them, but then again I only found out earlier about them when I began to change my own oil and then switched to Amsoil after reading about synthetics and the benefits.

[LS2NSUV]

No, GM fills with Mobil 1 at the factory. Its questionnable how long it will take to break in with Mobil 1. Most (many)will break-in with regular mineral oil for 500 miles or so, then change to synthetic after that.

[BIGBOS]

How much oil does this truck take.......

I know my vette took 6.5qt
The T/A took 5.5qt

I assume its around there :)
