Hey Guys,
My 1997 Silverado (V8, 5.7L Vortec, RWD, 173,000 on the OD) is new to me, with no prior history on maintenance. I've only had it a couple of weeks, so I don't know what oil is in it, whether it's synthetic or conventional, or whether or not it burns any oil. I'm proactively changing all fluids due to the lack of maintenance records.
I'm planning to run 5W30 per the manual, and likely will run High Mileage. Your recommendations on Synthetic vs. Conventional will be appreciated.
