AFM/DOD
Would be interesting to see if someone could figure how much money this lame technology has cost car owners across all makes since they started implementing it.
Wish I could help more with the question though. My trusty mechanic just says to not mess with a delete and half your oil change interval. Claims extended oil changes are the cause of most failed DOD systems. Something to consider when shopping a used vehicle with higher mileage anyway.
Even still, if I had a vehicle that had it, I'd be looking to get it eliminated.

I just traded in my 2011 Silverado with 240k that was running without any issues. My mechanic said the same. I started changing the oil at 5k instead of watching the computer which put me over 10k a few times. I also got a Diablo tuner to stop the v8-v4 swap, read codes, and up my shift firmness. Supposedly the 6l80 stock programming was hard on torque converters and that helps. I had the programmer on from 100k forward.
They did ruin one of the best engines available when they did all this, but they were only reacting to all the government efficiency stuff being put out for automakers. I previously had a 2000 Silverado that also ran to 240k without issues, two great trucks that never left me stranded.
