Ok heres the pics from my buddies 2000 5.3 with 130xxx miles. Dino oil, not regularly changed. Its definetely not as clean as mine (with 30K less lol), but still no carbon buildup or anything.....

super clean!
i would like to see the comparison.
Nice, I'm glad to know that spending the extra money on Mobil 1 is payin off. I'd love to see the bearings on this thing.
My buddy is comin over tonight so I can install some HID's on his truck, hes got a 2000 silvy w/ 5.3 and I think around 130,000K. He runs conventional oil....and doesnt change it at specified intervals.....hell I made him change his fuel filter the other day and it was the original one on the truck, shouldve seen all the **** that came out of that thing, wonder it ran at all. I migh pull his valve cover for comparison. Pics later.
