Poll: LS6 valley cover-Difference in Oil Consumption?
I've seen mixed reviews about it. Please share if it made a difference in oil consumption or if you could even tell a difference.

I wasn't aware that LS trucks had an oil consumption problem. My 03 5.3 GMC uses about 1/4 of a quart between oil changes, or 6000 miles. I use 0W-30 German Castrol. 78,000 miles on the truck.
