Some GM owners run a little ATF in their engine oil (1/2 quart or so as a high detergent additive) to keep their lifter internals varnish free and prevent the lifter sticking problem, but I can't comment on the safety or effectiveness of that method.

The other day, I was rolling down the highway at about 50-60mph when I started hearing a clanking/knocking noise followed by some vibration. I took it easy getting it home as I had no idea what was causing it. I didn't drive it again until I took it in to the dealer. When I started it up, it began making the noise and vibrating again, even while idle in park.
They told my it was a "bent" lifter. Only have 9.5k miles on my truck. They are ordering me new parts, but I'm worried they're just gonna throw the same new factory lifters on there and I'll run into this same issue again.
My buddys 11 sierra 1500 180K-Miles had a lifter go out and it started burning oil like a freight train between oil changes... AFM = USELESS.... Especially in a truck... It will be in v8 mode 99% of the time with any load or weight on it.
Where did your buddy get his cam and parts?
The '08s (and late '07s, first run of these) were especially bad for damaging rings and cylinder walls with faulty AFM operation. GM bought a lot of warranty engines in those days until they fixed the problem, and high oil consumption was the symptom.
My '11 GM 5.3 runs like new with 122K on it, and consumes 1/4 to 1/3 of a quart of oil every 3K miles. A few hundred miles prior to my last oil change, I topped it off with 1/4 quart of synthetic ATF as a varnish treatment. Changed oil as usual with synthetic 5W30 (no ATF added with the new oil) and I'm rolling on. What you do with your engine is your choice and your responsibility.
To try to rope others into responsibility for your failures simply for participating in a discussion, is honestly kind of lame. Take the information for what it's worth to you, but check the whole threat thing.
NOTE: Mopar SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to FCA
Material Standard MS-6395 such as Pennzoil, Shell Helix or
equivalent may be used when SAE 5W-20 engine oil
meeting MS-6395 is not available.
There are plenty of other examples by Toyota 4.7l V8 and 3.0 v6 and 5.7l v8 that im sure see 10-20k interval oil changes and go will over 300k....
it really is the motor design here...
