I use Castro oil as I had a 89 Blazer that burned some oil, and my guy back then stated I had less then 100,000 on it that there was no way I was burning that much, said your returns are blocked. Use castro for a few changes, and if it doesn't get better you will have to pull the covers, and clean it. I did 3 oil changes, and no more oil burning!! He was right, I kept that thing to almost 200K before I sold it.
So I am a firm believer, that oil changes, and stuff are the single best thing you can do for your motor!!
The only thing about the Chevy's to me are the brakes, they never feel strong enough, but they work. I have just 45,000 on this truck, but when they are due I am going to switch the rotors to drilled and slotted ones.
But I love the truck! With my boat on there you hardly even know its there.

Very solid rig indeed!!! As for the brakes, Im comin from a Ford so I agree but at the same time I wouldnt wish the Brake pads Ford uses on my worst enemy. I should have named my 07' Ford "Dusty". It was the worst I have ever seen with any vehicle and I like to think Im pretty gentle with braking.......
