The EPA mandates a minimum amount of detergent in fuel. Top Tier goes beyond that and it matters, especially with DI engines. YOU may wonder, How does the quality of fuel matter with oil consumption?
The entire video is excellent but the good stuff is at 9:30 on this first one:

Beyond fuel quality, and even oil quality, which it should be correct for your car (DEXOS), if an engine was babied on break in, the rings are already behind in what they need for proper seal. I believe a hard but not abusive break in is better for the cylinder walls and rings. |
Thanks for the videos. I will check them out. Oil is Dexos R rated which is the highest rating Chevy asks for.. I normally fills from QT and they have listed that in the toptier gas site.. we have 93 Octane in GA.
