He's had 4 silvys, I've changed the oil in hundreds, I'm not saying it's a good sign, or there's not a problem, just that it's not uncommon to see. You should be able to find some answers on Google

All 5 silverados I see on the regular basis have a varying degree of this. Mine isn't bad but it's there. Never had much concern in it.

Almost put money on cracked cylinder heads. "Castech" heads crack and leak coolant. Remove ur valve covers and rockers...look for a casting mark that looks like a battery. If you have that mark, chances are the head is cracked where it bolts to the block.

Look familiar?
