I use amsoil 0w-30 signature series about every 5000-8000kms and have probably over 50-60 passes in my car if not more... i drive it hard, did first oil change at 1500kms and car has about 14000kms now. I've only burnt maybe 1L total though out that time? I also run Sunoco 94 up here in Canada which i believe is 10% ethanol contained, i do see soot no matter what gas on tail pipes though.
I think I'm going to switch to Brad Penn 10w-30 next year when i pull it out, that stuff is amazing and has cured so many problems with a lot of cars i work on. Amsoil is definitely my top pick of all synthetics from RP, Mobil 1 etc but Brad Penn is where its at, especially for older motors which require that zinc additive, only oil around that provides it and works great. http://www.penngrade1.com/

Mine was built in March of 2011 so I'm hoping I am in the clear here, because this thread scares the hell out of me and makes me glad I haven't modded my car.

Sorry, but if you are going to be scared by this, then you may as well trade your Camaro in becasue there is no way you'll be able to enjoy it!! There is absolutely no pattern here so far. 1 was at 9K (DarkneSS), 1 I have serious speculations about (xpanda305x) as he questioned issues with his clutch (I just think there is more to his story) and 2 (SIXJAX & Blade) seem be close in incidents.
I will continue to drive my car the way it was meant to be driven, and will have no fear doing it. Last edited by nyrfan; 12-07-2011 at 04:40 PM. |

Yea the thing is if the check oil light did it's job I am pretty sure none of these problems would occur.
I also have a difficult time believing the maintenance minder actually calculates oil life based on driving habits like the manual says. I bet the whole programming behind the Oil Life System is flawed.

I'm thinking it's NOT a low oil level idiot light... I'm thinking it's a low oil pressure light...
