Dexos 2 xw-30. Gives you better protection above 220F. Harder to find, but Amazon works.

I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30!

Crash76 · 12-02-2016, 01:19 AM

Amsoil 10w-40

My dealer told me to use Molbile 1 5w-30, so I do in the '14. I check it before each outing which is about once a month. I use Valvoline Racing Oil 20w-50 in the '67. There is no way to check it, because it is a sealed system. At high RPM's, the pressure will blow oil past the dipstick.

Depends on your application, work from there.

In Sledge's case, the overall application calls for Group IV oil with a lil' extra zinc added for good measure.

Nothing is written in stone here, because the requirements of a member from Australia, to one in Alaska, to a garage queen in a humid garage in NY, to a track weekend hero in PA, some bone stock, some not, all differ.

The question is just too vague.

GM Dexos 5W30, which has changed to a full synthetic

SharpOldNo7 · 01-07-2017, 10:00 AM

Gotta love revived old oil threads.

M1 for me and Wix, M1 or K&N Filters (mainly for the nut on the end) in all vehicles and Harley.

Royal Purple as of yesterday. Mobil 1 sucks... Noticed a difference right away. What is everyone running in there manual tranny? I have a 2014 1ls V16, M/T.

DP Valentino · 02-24-2017, 11:09 AM

Will be trying out Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 with a WIX Oil Filter next in my car. I wanted to get the Ultra Platinum, but didn't want to pay $60 dollars for 6 quarts on Amazon. So Wal-Mart offered the better deal for the Platinum at $30 dollars for 6 quarts.

The best oil engineered for the LS3, Driven LS30.
