hey there guys.. after doing the head and cam swap on my 09 denali.. i put the castrol 10w60 oil on it.. till yesterday i was running about 2500 miles on it and i was surprized that there was very little oil left!!* i use K&N oil filter* the pressure is more than what the stock was at.. it was 275KPA @ idle... now its more than that as u can see..

i have an oil cooler lying around.. should i install it or not?? , i heard that the higher the pressure the more power loss u get.. is the choice of oil correct.. a friend of mine recommended me to go for 15w50 + AC delco.

Why 10W60? How about 5W30 or 5W40? Check the connection on the sending unit.

What do you mean there was "little oil left"? Also, I noticed my oil pressure went up a tad with the aftermarket cam over the stock cam as well. Nothing to worry about though.

....did you fill it up all the way (6 quarts)? By that thing I assume you mean the dipstick.

I've never heard of anyone using 10W-60...not even in a diesel.

10w-30 and a ac delco or Wix filter is what you should be using!!!!! 6 quarts. every 3,000 miles. plain n simple
