1999 Chevy Suburban, 5.7 engine, 8-cylinder, can I put 15W-50 Synthetic motor oil?

I'd check your owners manual but generally GM specifies 10-30 weight oil. Depending on your mileage the move to synthetic can improve gas mileage slightly and assist the engine in running a bit cooler as less friction. If your engine has any leaks it may exacerbate them. Once you switch to synthetic you should stick with it.

............ lolwutit's GF-5 Fully Synthetic. In the U.S. it's considered a blend, in other place it's a synthetic, that's just how it is in the auto industry. Why are you looking into buying this oil anyways?

Yes its designed for small 4 stroke engine. Depending on your mileage, this or a standard oil/non synthetic oil will work.I only say depending on mileage because dealers and the manuals say not to use synthetic before 5000 miles, because synthetic oil is thinner than regular oil.So in short yes it will work if air temp. Is between 32 and 101f degrees f most of the year, and if your mileage on the engine is greater than 5,000miles. Change every 6k miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

NO - This oil does not meet spec for the TDI engine. You need 507 spec 5W-30

It's good for the specified motor oils in your owners manual, synthetic would be the more desirable of motor oils to use.

To the best of my knowledge this is made specifically for Diesel engines.That is why I picked it and what I use it on. There are other synthetics out there for other uses.

If you've been using synthetic for the life of the car I would say that is okay but if you are looking to switch from long-term conventional use the switch may cause leaks as synthetic seems to clean areas out more. I know this from working as an oil tech and seeing countless people come in and want to switch to synthetic and come back with new leaks that didn't exist before

Yes it's safe just don't go more than 2000-3000 miles before your first oil change. The reason is that the synthetic really cleans out all the sludge (if your engine has it) and grime and will get filthy quickly. It's doing what it's designed to do. After that you can go to your recommeded oil change intervals.

Yes ....2005 Chevy Suburban 5.3 V8 flex fuel with Autoride I installed them on my vehicle about 6 months ago with K&N; intake gave me 1.0 mpg increase ...my vehicle had over 275k miles on it

Yes there is motor oil in the engine for lubrication. The oil should be changed yearly. You use regular gasoline in the tank. This is a four stroke engine and you DO NOT mix 2 stroke oil with the gasoline.

Yeah, as long as it can use 10w40. If switching to a full synthetic for the first time, the concern if that you will get leaky gaskets as the synthetic starts to clean out the build up that had been keeping them sealed. I didn't see any of this when I switched to full synthetic in my Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom. You might ask your local dealer if unsure.

Stick with the spec...this machine is too expensive to screw around with cheap oil.

I'm pretty sure you can, I Googled your car and it calls for the same oil specifications as my daughters car, VW 502.00 oil, just make sure whatever you buy has that on the back.

I use it in my 31 ford and put about 4 oz. to 5 quarts of oil on an oil change. Also a teaspoon in the snow blower and other 4 cycle small engines, makes them smooth, and start easy.

Depends on the make of your car. Is it a VW? Some diesels have special requirements. this oil is mainly used in heavy trucks (class 8). This oil will replace 15w40 standard oil.

I am currently using it in a Suzuki 300 engine. This is synthetic and cannot be mixed with standard oils. Drain bike completely first and replace oil filter when refilling.

It was last Fall when i changed the plugs on my '01 Suburban. The new requirement for the 5.3L GM engine is a spark plug gap of .045" vs. the original requirement of .060. I would make them all the same at .040 or .045, which ever is correct. Check through Google. The plugs on my vehicle had never been changed up to 160k miles and what a difference. I think the recommendation is to change them at 100k.
