Default Re: What should I do in addition to oil change on H3!

Have any of you guys ever used the oil stabalizer liquid you see at almost every auto parts store. i forgot the name but it comes in a huge white bottle. How about running techron through the system every 10000 miles or so????

GM recommends against using any types of oil additives. One they may actually degrade the oil and your oil life system will no longer be accurate, two, they are a waste of money.
As for Techron, it is the best injector and top engine cleaner made; therefore a bottle every 10K won't hurt anything, even if not needed.

Question Re: What should I do in addition to oil change on H3!

So F5 Stop, are you saying that it is better to change oil less frequently than every 3k miles?
I live in a hot and dusty area and at 3k miles I have had noticed pretty dark looking oil, although it hasn't been nasty and milky like you see on some overdue oil changes. I have never had it analyzed.
Keep in mind that I only have just under 8k miles so far, so I have only had two oil changes, one at 3k and the next at 6k.

I am working in San Fran today. 50,s windy, cloudy and cold. Wish I was home in Cabo!!!
