Opinion: Neat technical details, neat truck, but I don’t know if I could get over virtual headlight controls.

    I’ve got a car inept GF, and she once went way to long without an oil change. Her Chevy doesn’t have a turbo, but I was warned that newer Chevy engines with turbos are way more sensitive about oil changes.

    What are the odds that the turbo and or engine blow, if some drives this 2k past and oil change?

    Genuinely curious here, not trying to be that guy.

      No way 2k will kill it instantly, I think a good metric might be seeing how well the 2.7T is doing in the full-sizers but I’m not familiar how it’s doing over there.

        It’s a weird criteria for judging an engine really. Its true that turbocharged engines are more demanding on oil, but that’s factored into the design and oil requirements. 2k miles past an oil change is not going to blow up an engine, and every GM car has an oil life reminder, so I’m not sure that’s a problem.
