At 700 miles we changed the oil to full syn mobil 1 with a ac delco filter, also changed the rear axle fluid to mobil 1 full syn, rear axle fluid was very very black and both fill and drain plug magnets had a ton of metal on them its one of the 1st things I recommend to a new camaro owner cheap and easy to do also
Ather that 1st 700 mile oil change we have been changing oil ever 5k and the oil life monitor it normally at 20% when we are at 5000 miles, cant belive how long the OLM will tell others to go on there oil when ours barely makes 5k but I guess our car sees alittle different use than a typical v6 car on this forum

found out that if you have a v6 automatic you dont need additive. it only goes for the manual v6, just to clarify if someone needs the answer

Because it was just before our 1st autocross event with the car and wanted cleaned oil and axle fluid in the car before we beat on the car for the 1st time

Please tell me where your source is? Because using mobile 1 fully synthetic is one of the best things you can do for the LLT to prevent the infamous timing chain expansion the 10s and early 11s had before the revised chain came out. |

Edit: also, on the traverse forum, they were saying the exact opposite of you. That mobile 1 was the worst for timing chain stretch and most agreed that either PP or valvoline Dino worked very well. Sent from my bragging iPhone using an app that encourages it. |

http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums...Number=1892745 - look at the iron count for castrol edge (also regarded as good oil for the LLT's...its much much lower than mobile 1 http://s858.photobucket.com/user/jdr...-9-10.jpg.html - this is a Pennzoil Platinum in an 09 GMC Acadia (same LLT) - again...notice the much lower iron count compared to mobil 1... so as you can see...on the LLT, at least, Mobil 1 shows much higher iron counts...i didnt suggest against using mobil 1 because i dont like them...they make, in my opinion, one of the best oils...for port injected cars, that is...for whatever reason, it seems to get beat up way more then other oils by direct injected engines...and on another note, OP, i think i found you on BITOG LOL |

I did my 1st oil change at 1600 miles. Had it done at the dealer and they put ACDelco Syn Blend dexos approved. It has been about a year now with 4500 miles. Gonna switch it out and put in Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 and whatever oil filter is on sale.
