    Shell Rotella 15w-40 motor oil

    i went back to 5w30 mobile1 for the winter, I noticed absolutely no change in oil pressure after the oil change. I am monitoring the oil consumption closely, but so far has not seen any.

    First oil change from 15w40 to 5w30

    I purchased the SSV from an auction and spoke with the maintenance crew upon pickup. They were unable to confirm the brand of oil in the drums, though they speculated it might be Rotella T4. For this oil change, I used Mobil 1 5W-30, primarily because I also use it for another truck with a 6.0...

    First oil change from 15w40 to 5w30

    I wanted to provide an update following the recent oil change on my 2014 SSV. After purchasing the vehicle in April with 103,000 miles on the odometer, I noticed it had consumed a quart and a half of oil over 3,000 miles. Based on the maintenance department's practice of switching the vehicles...

    Is This A PPV, An SSV, or What?

    it might not be SSV, but a military spec tahoe. My 2014 SSV has a lot more SSV specific codes.

    Shell Rotella 15w-40 motor oil

    my 2014 SSV maintenance records showed 15w40, when I was picking Tahoe up from the department, I asked to talk to the maintenance crew and they told me to keep on 15w40, they do that for all fleet cars after 90k miles. According to them this prevents many issues with oil consumption later on. I...

    wires - what did you do with them and how did you do it?

    yep, I agree, thanks for the idea, I have a CB radio I have not used in a while, might as well wire it in!

    wires - what did you do with them and how did you do it?

    thanks for the document, I can trace the wires, just trying to figure out a good civilian use for the harnesses. I hate to see so much good wire go to waste.

    2012 Tahoe SSV

    congratulations on a good looking Tahoe! 20k total engine hours is not much at all, unless you mean "idle hours", they are not the same thing. Enjoy!

    wires - what did you do with them and how did you do it?

    Hello everyone I have a lot of left over wires where the console used to be, under the dash and in the engine compartment. I decoded RPO codes and have all of the harnesses listed in the special services manual identified. Now, the question is, how did you use any of them? so far I rewired...

    Red interior light

    update: I applied 12V to all the blunt cuts left for me by the seller, in a hope to power on the red ceiling light, at times I heard clicks, under the dash and in the engine compartment, but the light did not power on. I'll need to do more snooping to find the wires going to it. I might...

    connector - what is it for?

    update: as per suggestion, tested the wire and it is always hot 12V source, the wire is where the rest of cut off wires are, where the console used to be. I guess I am just going to use it as a low amp power source. thank you everyone for helping out.

    connector - what is it for?

    Red interior light

    I have this nifty puck of a red/blue light on the headliner, but it does not turn on with the side switch. how should I go about figuring out which left over wires are from that light? I could not find this information in the SSV supplement. (I tried removing the light to see which wires are...

    I have an update: got the horn working, thank you for good advise. if someone is going to search for this information in the future, here is how it went, checked RPO codes, have 6J7 installed. that has inline connector (disconnector). the manual does not specify the wire color, but that would...

    Thank you for a detailed response, your recommendations make a lot of sense. I am going to drive with the oil I already have in the engine, 15w40, and change out to 0w30 in 3k miles. then will see what, if anything, happens to the oil consumption. thank you again!

    New member with 2014 SSV and a few questions

    thank you for the suggestion, I am very much tempted to go back to 5w30 Mobil1, that is what I use in my SSR. is there something I can look for as an indicator of engine/oil combined performance? what sort of oil consumption should I expect? should I watch the oil pressure closely? just trying...

    New member with 2014 SSV and a few questions

    yep, 15w40 is pretty heavy diesel oil, I'm thinking I should give 5w30 a try and see what sort of oil consumption I will experience. thank you for the headrests tip, will try it out tomorrow. thank you!

    Hello everybody Just bought myself 2014 SSV with 103k and I'm thrilled to join the community. I wanted one for a long time and finally bought it. I am in Chicago so the unit is a bit rusty crusty, but good enough for Chicago. I have a few questions I need help with: 1. Is there a method to...
