It's not just GM, it's lots of makers. It's the jacked piston rings they knew were jacked and kept using.It's also partly the GDI system - also in other makes.It's also partly the PCV system.There's a fella on this forum who took the time to put this pdf I attached together and it is an incredible resource.If you're not using full synthetic you should be. The best oil via Farm Project on Youtube is AMSoil Signature, you can check out his video competition. Penzoil Platinum is also really good.CRC GDI Intake Valve cleaner is a must too. You can use it every 1,000 miles til you're satisfied with the tops of the valves being clean. I plan on using it every 3,000 - 5,000 miles from now on.Lots of owners swear by Barryman's in the oil before oil changes. Others ues YamaLube, which I think can go in the gas tank also.I think those are the top 2.Look at the pdf. Such GREAT info in it.For me, the intake manifold kit with all the extras is only $97 on the wholesale GM dealership sites. If I can get help, I'm doing it and just keeping it clean with the Intake cleaner mentioned above.In the air intake manifold there are ports or something in the runner that get clogged up with the pin hole PCV orifice. The runners can get build up on them, faster and easier to replace the dumb thing than clean it all and replace the gaskets.I'm waiting for the author of the pdf to answer me regarding changing out the valve cover - that's only $100 too. Maybe he'll be on the forum and see your post and respond. You'll see in the valve cover there are some kind of baffles and they get dirty too. If I were to take the cover apart and clean those, I don't know how to get them back in per specifications. The baffles are made of a nylon.So there ya go. And the pressure release oil cap the others here mentions - why not?Good luck.</blockquote>
