$250 oil changes are just an internet myth, or dumb asses willing to pay that much. Are the transmissions in the gassers as tough as the diesel ones? I mostly use my ‘13 Duramax for pulling my 31’ toy hauler or other large loads. It’s not a commuter rig. My 09 6.0 liter would get 6 mpg towing the camper. My Duramax gets 10. Where the 6.0 would go 35 mph @ 4500 rpm the Duramax will do 60 @ 2500 rpm and the tranny is not searching for gears.
