I love my suburban. I have had several over the years, all Z71's. I'm a fanatic about having it serviced. I purchased it with 80,000 miles. At about 100K miles, I noticed it was burning enough oil that I would have to run by my oil change place to top it off with at least a quart or so. At 130,000 miles or so the engine light came on, and was told by dealer that it was an issue on the right bank of the exhaust system. It was reset and I started using Marvel's Mystery oil. Seemed to work for a while, but then the light came back on. Now the problem is a misfire from #2 cylinder. My mechanic is a buddy of mine and said with all issues GM has had with these engines, the best fix would be a replacement engine from Jasper Engines. The total estimate is $3500. I'm trying to wait it out, but I believe I will be replacing it in the near future. By the way, I have always used Maxlife and I currently have 168,000 miles. I'm participating in this forum hoping GM will offer some better assistance than what I have read to this point. Come on GM, show some love.
