Silverado Maintenance Report

Permanent Linkby geologist on Aug 20 2012, 5:11am

---------------------------------------
OIL & FLUID CHANGES
---------------------------------------

September 5, 2012 - Oil change @ 96,026 miles. Used 5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 Full Synthetic w/ K&N Gold filter. NOTE: There was a slight oil leak from the plug itself. This seems to be attributable to some gunk or a small scratch. This does not appear overly problematic, but I will replace the plug with a new magnetic plug and seal at the next scheduled oil change (100,000 mile service).

September 19, 2012 - Coolant Flush & Replacement @ 96,400 miles. Flushed cooling system with water, then with water and Peak Radiator Super Cleaner and Flush over the course of 3 days, flushed again with water, then replaced coolant with Prestone Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant diluted to 70/30 -- no more DexKill (DexCool) -- EVER!

---------------------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS

August 9, 2012 - Installed new floor mats and steering wheel cover (Realtree).
August 10, 2012 - Replaced both brake light bulbs with Sylvania LL. Drivers side had burned out.
