    I currently use Mobil 1 Extended Performance for both the oil & filter in my 2013 6.0 gasser & am considering switching to Amsoil Signature Series for both oil & filter. I kno they're both good, top shelf stuff but if u had to choose between the 2 which would u pick? I was looking at some...

    What should the oil pressure be at idle on a 2013 Silverado 2500 with the 6.0 gasser?
  3. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    I’ve looked through a good number of the threads on here and haven’t quite found anyone with the same issue I’m having. So while cruising down the interstate, my oil pressure will fluctuate between roughly 22 and 32 PSI, with no change in speed or RPMs. It just sorta bounces back and forth, but...
  4. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    So normally my oil pressure would sit at 60 psi but its recently been having issues so at idle it completely drops to 0 psi it did however once sit at 30 psi when i was parked at home. Its also a gradual drop so its not an immediate drop to 0 psi but it does drop. As soon as I hit the gas it...

    So I just got an oil change from Take 5 because I was in a hurry. I noticed that they put 5w20 in my 5.3. I live in Louisiana so it doesn’t get super cold here in the winters but I was just wondering if this was an issue considering that the manufacturer recommends 0w20. Should I be concerned?

    If I’m replacing my lifters due to a severe lifter tick what else should I replace with it?
  7. EcoTec 5.3L V8
    I have received the P06DD “Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off.” code twice, randomly once and then I cleared it and the code stayed away for about two days and I just got it again today. My oil pressure is reading normal and there are no noticeable changes in how the truck runs, has...
  8. EcoTec 5.3L V8
    Hey yall, I recently installed a JL oil separator and wanted to check the collection after the first week. To my surprise, I found this. What does this mean? What do I do? I just bought this truck almost a year ago to the day. my truck is a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT, 4x4 5.3L with over 210K...
  9. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    I've got a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 with the L33 engine. This Saturday, I did the oil pan gasket, and the oil pickup tube o-ring. My old o-ring was becoming flat clearly and it was very brittle as it broke when I was taking it off. I changed it because before changing the oil, I would start the...

    Hey all, I have a few questions about the oil pressure sensor on our engines. Lately my oil pressure gauge has been reading too low in general, especially at idle like at red lights or stop signs. I was doing some searching of parts and noticed some show this filter thing that comes with (I’ll...
  11. EcoTec 5.3L V8
    I have a 2017 Silverado with the 5.3 EcoTec, approximately 81,500 miles. I'll be dropping it off at the dealership tomorrow for diagnostics (which I don't expect much of a result from), but wanted to get some opinions from other owners. No codes, starting / drivability issues or anything of the...

    Where’s is the Oil Pressure Sensor? Is it behind the engine? Or above the Oil Filter somewhere…
  13. Vortec 6000 6.0L V8
    I’ve taken the bolts out of the Oil Pan, disconnected the clip on the side, the cooler lines, and a couple other bolts holding it… The Oil Pan is completely free from anything holding it up… I’ve taken out the bolts holding the Motor Mounts to the frame, but left the Mounts bolted to the motor…...
