I have 115,000km on my 2022 LM2 Silverado. So far it's been great, but some people have experienced serious issues on older ones. Gm is constantly improving this little motor. Lessons I've learned myself or through several forums and family members with the same motors:\n\n- Fuel additives seem to get better mpg and less regens \n- Only available oils are amsoil, mobil 1 and OEM. (Amsoil isn't dexos certified though)\n- Oil changes are pricey compared to gas, cheap compared to bigger diesels. I pay $250 CAD \n- Known to crack radiators (top right side) as well as water pump leaks. \n- Many people tend to replace the MAP sensor or clean it after a while to make it run smoother, it's a cheap part. \n- Doesn't seem to burn oil, but mine is consuming a little coolant lately (I suspect radiator).\n- The factory fuel filter is 5 micron but Wix makes a 2 micron replacement. Cheap and easy to do yourself. I pay around $50 CAD\n- Everyone online thinks they have blow by, they don't, just have a lot of crankcase pressure\n- Mine seems to misfire when started in weather colder than -15C for about a minute until warm. \n- A10 trans is smooth but has the odd rough downshift, I also follow the severe service interval table and change fluids with amsoil and new gm filter \n- Def consumption is never an issue other than towing. If towing anything heavy bring a jug or two. It will go into limp mode when you run out.
Reviews of Wix parts For Business

The $120 JiffyLube price is what got me doing my own changes….very therapeutic!
I enjoy it. Best GF-6A synthetic is 28$, best filter WIX is 10$, crush washer 25cents.
Disposal responsibly.
BTW the oil change places, use the worst filter and don’t change the crush washer…
CRV 250K miles. Burns no oil. Think it’s working ?
I use WIX 51036XP with synthetic oil on my 97 Tahoe since I own the truck (60.000 miles) and oil pressure is great.
I have a wix fuel filter
For cabin filter, I personally recommend using a filter with a carbon layer to reduce smells. Fram, TYC, Hengst, Mann, and Wix all are good options.
I prefer synthetic. Wix filter
I was able to feel a difference right after replacing the air filter with WIX's. I can feel less stress on accelerating, even if there will be no actual hp/performance benefit.
I do it myself in the driveway for half of what the dealership quoted. Takes about 30 minutes, it's really easy on my powerstroke as the drain plug and filter are right next to each other.
Delco and fram filters are no different. Wix is 100% way better and a lot less when you have a commercial account
not the wix. I had their filter for a few months. it started leaking and the seal wouldn't fit anymore.
