i have been running royal purple 5w30 for a bout 12k my first use i ran it about 5300 miles before i did it. second time i ran it about 4500 miles on it. when i did this change the oil still looked purple and clean when i ranned 5w30 syn. valvoline the trucks indicator would come on around 3800 miles both times that i ran the royal purple it didnt come on. and this indicator some how moniters the way the oil is broken down. { in the manual it says under the right sircumstances you can go a full year without changing oil if driven properly, but GM doesnt recomend this. for those that dont believe me look it up in the manuals.] ---
