Re: 2013 Tahoe oil pressure warning

Another consideraton - All oil is not the same.

Some of the "synthetic" oils are not a synthesized base, like polyalphaolefin, but merely highly refined petroleum. Polymers added to mineral oils break down, allowing viscosity instability. These are the "synthetics" which should still be changed at 3,000 mile intervals, not extended ranges.
