Jim,
you said 1998 with only 24,000 miles. That is over 7 years, which would be about 3,000 miles per year, or 250 miles per month, or only 58 miles per week since new. Does pedal wear, bed liner wear, tire wear, etc match that low mileage. Are all tires one brand, and is it one used by GM in 1998. You should have way over 50% tread on original equipment tires. Dealers around here all turn back the speedometers for sale. By the way I use Mobil One and change at the regular severe use mileage of 3000 to 4000 miles. Others will say to run it longer, but my own opinion is that the oils pick up contaminants and loses some of its additive package. I have not pulled a head, or dropped an oil pan since an old chevy six back in the early 1960s. I can't even remember when I switched to Mobil One, but it has been many years. To me the dollars spent on quality lub/filters is the cheapest money spent on your vehicle.
