Hello All,

I am new to the diesel world and forum and have found all the info great. Just purchased a Silverado Classic CC and have just under 500 miles on it. I have a source for 2% biodiesel and am wondering if I should wait further into the break in before I switch. I realize there are discussions within this forum concerning the added lubricity, however, does this apply to a brand new vehicle. The dealership discouraged its (BD) use early on.

Also, any suggestions as to when I should first change the oil? I am not willing to wait for the indicator message on the DIC and am thinking about the 1000 mile mark.

Any help out there?

Use the BIO and do the oil as you suggested @ 1,000 miles.:grd:
