Is the 2.7l Silverado Junk at 54k miles? And GM Changed PF66 Oil Filters on us.

Hey Everyone! I am still trying to provide periodic updates on my 2.7l Silverado. It, for the most part is holding up great! Other than some paint issues I point out in this video the truck is still doing us great.
We call our truck "Silva" and use it to do our normal family truck stuff as well as haul our massive 9,000 lb travel trailer.
Thanks for watching my video! I really appreciate your time!

[@fishingismydrug1]

Nice review! I test drove the Silverado with the 2.7. Very quick off the line, quite responsive. I couldn’t wrap my head around pulling a travel trailer with a 4 cylinder turbo. As well as knowing that engine had just come out in the Silverado. Bought a Nissan Titan instead. The better warranty helped in that decision. No regrets, love the Titan. I’m happy the 2.7 has done well for you!! Seeing real world mpg #’s is reassuring. I do, however, love the sound of the 5.6L ! I pay for it at the pump though!!! I hit 21mpg once.

[@jeremsgarage]

Very Nice! I have strongly considered a Titan XD in the past. I am going to be featuring the Titan 5.6l in a video soon. I am working on the script now, but it will basically be one of the top recommended trucks available now, in my opinion. Nissan is crushing it with the Titan and Frontier right now!

[@fishingismydrug1]

@@jeremsgarage It’s a shame the Titan and Titan XD are being discontinued. The 5.6 is a time tested engine. The 4.0 was as well. I can honestly say that, as I had a 2018 frontier. From what I understand, the 4.0’s replacement is doing good. I look forward to the video!

[@klforrest573]

Definitely built the new filter for more oil flow. More & larger oil inlet holes - due to the Cheezy paper media. I will stay with the Purolator PL11424 PureOne & A-Premium (Metal Core) & synthetic media EOF10351-C from Amazon - Totally Sealed & wrapped box = very high quality filter. Did notice @ 55-70mph oil psi running pretty consistently around 30psi. (When oil temp is between 195-210*F)

[@poppyneese1811]

My old 17 2.7 Ecoboost ran what I thought was warm too, guess these new Turbo engines just run hotter both engine and transmission. On my 23 2.7 ecoboost I got the from PPF it’s like a plastic film covering the front of truck, think it really helps with chips. You do a great job on your videos always enjoy them. Try Pennzoil Platinum, I think a warm as our trucks run might not be a bad ideal!

[@riskybusiness04]

When you compare the filters count the pleats in each filter, I'm willing to bet that will be the same, and they changed the design for better flow, and fit tighter spaces in the newer trucks.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

definitely not junk, oil needs to be changed every 3K regardless of what GM says

[@bobhirdes6725]

if you change oil every 3,000 miles you are wasting Money! using the required synthetic Dexos-2 oil the recommended oil change is 5,000 to 10,000 miles or once every 12 months. 5,000 TO 6,000 MILES IS PERFECTLY FINE.

I believe Cadillac is using that same 2.7 motor as an option. I have the base 2.0 in my Caddy XT4 and it's been doing very well. Only thing I do differently than old timer V-8s is changing the oil more often and using full syn. I change it every 3,000- 3,500 miles and use ACDelco PF66 filters.

Just recently looking at wm for an oil filter for my 5.3l. The part numbers seemed strange, couple different listed for super tech and the ac delco was pf66e? Is that right? The e might be the longer one? I ended up grabbing a mobil 1 because it was longer and the only one I could confirm the part number on

[@hochhaul]

The Mobil 1 212A is a good filter. Better than the AC Delco e-core filters.

[@EzMDr]

Is 2.7 i4 reliable? Didnt your truck left you stranded? would you recommend this truck?

[@jeremsgarage]

Hi, Yes it did! It was a really simple failure of a fuel injector. The problem was that I was so far from home. The injectors are simple enough and cheap enough that, had it happened at home, I would have just fixed it at the house. But, being 500 miles away and the parts being on back order, that is what happened there. Do I recommend this truck? Yes, 100% yes. I think that the three most reliable engines in half tons right now are the 2.7l GM, 5.6l Nissan, the 5.0l V8 from Ford, the two EcoBoost engines from Ford seem pretty good too. I wouldn’t touch any of the Ram’s right now. Hey, this sounds like a good video topic. Thanks for the idea. Have a great day.

It's fantastic. It is hard to wrap your brain around. But it's like saying a Semi is "just a 6 cyl". This engine was built from the ground up as a truck engine. It pulls my 9k lb travel trailer easily in excess of the speed limit and has so much torque off idle it's unbelievable.

[@GLOCKCOPG23]

Me too. Not into little, forced air, hot running, high rpm, engines trying to be truck engines. They make it sound good with “peak torque” numbers which practically redlines these little things. They will not last. They do not want you to get 300,000 miles anymore. They want you to buy new trucks that don’t last, more often.

[@jeremsgarage]

@@GLOCKCOPG23 lol. Yea almost nothing you just said applies to this 2.7l. It makes ALL its tq and HP under 2,000 RPM. It does not need to redline to make power. You have this confused with a V8. Even the Ford Ecoboost (which has been around since 2011) makes its power way down low in the RPM range. I pull a 9k lb trailer at 65-70 MPH at about 1,800 rpm or so. How is that for redline? 😅

timing chain rattle or valve clatter after oil change? brief 1-2 seconds until it builds pressure. do you flood it first before starting or just start and wait for pressure? hold gas pedal down all the way it wont crank over, but build pressure before starting. idk

[@frederickdouglass7517]

Most of the time when they make a change its for cost reasons such as when they went from the metal center tube to the E-core design a few years ago.

[@hochhaul]

They made the holes bigger to improve flow for use on L5P diesels. The youtube channel Demonworks bought one and cut it open, comparing it to an old PF66. The only change was the size of the holes. Same filter media, core, steel cannister, relief valve, etc.
