Hi Alex,
GM gets massive amounts of environmental $$ credits by extending fluid change intervals. Increasing the oil capacity from 4L to 6L, & switching to mandatory use of Grp4/PAO full syn oil, allows them to increase drain intervals from 10k miles max to 18k miles/2yrs max. That's an 80% increase in max oil life for only a 50% increase in oil volume. (Actually, since most people still change every 3k miles, they're probably extending the average change interval by 300%-500%.)
