GM's engineering team is actually paying attention to durability feedback on their next-generation V8s, with owners pushing for heavier oil weights to extend service intervals and protect against wear. It's refreshing to see a manufacturer respond to real-world concerns instead of chasing EPA numbers. Thicker oil means longevity over horsepower theater.
