Bought a 2013 silverado, new in April. Never had a new truck before.

5.3L/ 4x4/ extended cab/ Z71/ 6 speed

Whats the deal with the motor shutting down to 4 cylinders. I really cant stand it.

Is it normal when you are traveling on the highway you feel the swith from 4 to 8? There is a little bump.

I also seem to feel the truck shift alot. Is this just the 6 speed?

Last question what oil are people using ? I usually get mobil one but I am not sure if this one still uses 5W30.

Thanks.
