I come from the world of gas engines, and I only ran Mobil 1 in all my previous vehicles.
Now that I have this duramax I don't know what to run in it? What is the diesel equivilent of Mobil 1? I really want to take care of this thing what with it costing me an arm and a leg and all.
Also I am experiencing a moderate whining noise that comes from under the hood especially when the truck is cold. The noise isn't extra loud, but it's noticeable to me. As previously stated coming from the gasoline world the noise I am hearing sounds like one of two things.
1. Alternator has a bad bearing and is about to go.......or
2. Power Steering pump is low on fluid.
Have any of you heard a similar noise? Any suggestions? The truck is brand spanking new....Just passed 3k miles. I have a hard time believing it could be either of the problems I listed above. Other than that I love the thing. Never driven a stock diesel with this much umphhhh before. I am totally impressed.
