As long as you change it regularly with quality components it really doesn't matter,

Mine has 80k plus miles. Using Delco PF 48 and lately PF 48E filters, and Mobil 5W-30.

All by the book. Oil changes have been either using the oil life indicator or once a year, depending on circumstances.

After 12 years, no discernible oil consumption.

Really, it's whatever you choose, just change it when needed. I've used it all. I currently use vr1 and upf48r.

Sumbitch, that’s a lot of miles on any motor! Good to know.

AMSOIL 10W40 Zrod with WIX or K&N Filters.
However, I track mine in the hot summers and was recommended to use at least 5W40 for hot track work.
Was using AMSOIL 5W30 before then.
I also change my oil halfway through track season with about 1500-2000 miles on the oil.

But that is specific for me and my use case. Like most have said already, changing the oil regularly with good oil/filters is the more important then what you use.

Honestly it's been the most reliable car I'v owned,and a blast to drive. I worried about the l99 but have not had any of the issues others seem to have had.

I use Mobil 1 5W-30 and WIX WL 10255 or K&N 2011, they are a little bit bigger filter. Maybe it helps maybe it don't, but it can't hurt in my opinion!
