Re: One Year Report
Well Said Hummerman,
I am glad to hear I am not the only one who goes by the oil life meter. GM puts that on most all there vehicles (Escalades, Tahoe's, Denai's, Yukons, etc.) and maybe I may look at it the wrong way, but I feel GM puts that on there for a reason, and I think if it damaged your engine, or would harm it, they would not put the oil life meter on them because if it abused the engine, why would they put 100,000 mile warranty on them.
------------------------------------------
I want to add this information for everyone to read, cause there was words going back and forth. But the truth is I am not here to bash anyone, I dont wont to cause problems, and I want to get along with everyone, but the truth is, we are all creatures of habits, we all have our own little ways, some may use regluar unleaded, others use premium, some like regular oil, others like synthetic, some may like Red Hummers, others may like Black, yellow, white, or whatever........but just because we all like different things, and we do things differently dont give anyone the right to bash you because no one is alike. I joined this message board back in 2007 and have always been on good terms with everyone and never had any problems. I would really like to keep it that way, and be friends with everyone and not argue, and bash people for being different. I am here to read the message boards, and to get along with everyone...........let there be peace.

Re: One Year Report
I dont disagree with anyone. I guess I'm a neurotic one. I change every 3K.Yup, old school! But Im one of those guys that never lets the tank go below 1/4. I put leather conditioner on the seats every month, rotate the tires every 8K or so,change the wiper blades yearly, etc. I probably over do it, but I'm a believer in maintenance. Or maybe I just love my Hummer that much!

Re: One Year Report
I use monitor but, also take into consideration climate, how rig has been used, and if at least oil filter was changed mid-stream along with air filter check or replaced. Synthetic oil does not break down during idle time which is why I use Royal Purple products in anything on my H2 that uses some type of lubrication.
