I've got about 120,000 on my truck. The oil cooler lines weep a little bit (they did this before I switched to synthetic), but not enough to leave any drips on the floor. I also use AMSOIL (their Signature series; 25K mile oil changes), and haven't noticed any oil consumption issues at all.

My truck is at about 106k miles, I use 5 quarts of Amsoil and a quart of Lucas every time I change my oil. It stays super clean and I have no oil loss at all.

Anyone know what the GM dealerships in Canada use for oil?

I bet I can change your mind about Fram filters. Read this link, and watch the video: Oil filter

Thats about as bad as the K&N filters.

So whats the best to use then, I dont want crappy filters coming apart and running through my engine. Ive personally been using the Fram Tough Guard since I could drive but that video I just saw changed my mind completely.

Amsoil, Purolator Pure One, and Wix
Those would be my choices, in that order. Also, the good 'ol AC/Delco filter is a very good one.
