I just got my cam and heads done. I'm using amsoil signature 5w30. As far as I read it's good enough. I'm thinking about putting in some zddp additive.
I don't have cats so I don't really care that much about that.

I also recommend changing your oil and filter regularly as I stated in my original post. Going forward we will advise customers to use Red Line 5w30 or other high grade oils with the PF48R filter on ALL vehicles including 100% stock cars. The cost is double but at the end of the day it is cheaper than replacing parts or an engine for that matter. Kind regards, Jordan Priestley 888.308.6007 |

Is the PF48R any better than a Mobil 1 or K&N filter?

Back on the road again...
Picked the car up on Friday. Now running stage two JDP grind and making 456 RWHP and 418 RWTQ. I am happy to have my baby back and will be changing oil more frequently!
Thanks for the lively discussion on this thread everyone. I hope no one has to go through this expense and at least takes away some learnings from my experience. Thanks to Jordan and Jeremy at JDP Motorsports for the outstanding support and quick turn around of "UGO2SLO"! -Dane

The Mobil1 and K&N Filters are both manufactured by Champion Labs. I prefer the A/C Delco PF48R to either of those filters personally.
PM replied too!! Sorry for the delay! Quote:
It certainly won't hurt to run a higher quality oil in any application. Quote:

I tried searching, but is there any thread on C5, comparing the oils? Im an oil noob, and will be installing my cam in a few weeks. I read in a few places that the Zinc content is a concern mainly with flat-tappet cams? What weight do I need, and how often should I change it? (Its my DD) My shop uses Mobil 1 on everything, so im still trying to decide.... |
