General Maintenance - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Heap gets an oil and filter change every 2 months, Pennzoil 5W30, AC Delco PF-1218 oil filter. My V-8 S-10 gets the same every 6 months, both get a bottle of ZDDP with the oil change. The 2 and 6 month intervals may seem odd but both are driven mainly around town, the S-10 sees roughly 600 miles a year. Short trips with carburetor fed motors are tough on oil.

For air filters I write the date and mileage on the filter with a Sharpie and change them based on a visual check.

Fuel filters get swapped out once a year.
