Taking my truck in today. Just curious if anyone with a new gas 6.6 2500HD pickup has had the problem of going through oil. Engine oil low add oil came across the center screen. I added a quart to not have the light come on but still doesn't even show up on the stick. Glad its under warranty.
2020 Chevy 2500HD Pickup Gas Going Through Oil

.y last check ever was a 05 and they. Continually told me a qt every 1000mi was with knowing gm spec . Yep they would tell me that with a straight face. In fact they blamed me for not checking the oil more often on a brand new truck when it was 3qt low on its first oil change . Mexican junk never never again .

No info here except that this is amazing because my 08 2500 6.0 with 270000 miles never needed a quart in between the 7000 mile oil changes it got while I owned it.
New engine new problems... I was told from a good source I would never want the new 6.6 gas stick to the 6.2 gas or 6.6 d max... there is a reason that’s the only 2500 on dealer floors... just saying .. sorry about oil loss issues I would have ran it till she blew up that way you get a new engine not a refurbished one...
My father bought a 2020 HD. Not enough miles on it yet to tell if it uses oil. I put step bars on it when it had 350 miles, it is unbelievable how much rust is already on the frame and suspension components for a brand new truck. You can take your fingernail and scrape the wax that GM uses right off the frame to bare metal. It is beyond me why they still use the wax process.
I can see you jumping in a Tundra Slim...... LOL
It is not just GM. I purchased a new F150 last year. After one time on the road with salt, I had some corrosion that had started. Did a deep undercarriage wash, and treated with fluid film (woolwax another good brand). Then this past fall, did another complete treatment and looks better than new. Sort of a PIA, and fluid film stinks, but it works.

<br><br>Ya and it smells like dirty baby diapers. Come on fluid film can't you put some smell stuff in there????
hehe no kidding! The best undercoating I have ever seen was my Gramps home brew of fuel oil and kerosene. He would mix it up in a pump sprayer and just spray the bejesus out of the underneath of all his vehicles and then run them down the back roads in Moose Lake. The dust and oil would mix into this coating that protected so well he never had a rust problem.
I use WD 40 in a 2 gal sprayer on all kinds of things for rust protection. It's best to be able to let it sit and soak in for a few days. Sray inside vehicle fenders, quarter panels, rocker panels, inside the drier bins, and never have a kernel of corn stick. We try to spray the bins long before filling them. Also it stops any previous rust from ever getting any worse. Tested stored corn extensively for any residual residue, none ever to be found.
