Hi, I was told to use 15w40 castrol blend, or Valvoline VR1 racing oil 10w30, or Mobil Turbo diesel truck 5 w40, or mobil 5 w50, what's the best for this engine, i'm not going to race it, just street,  Thanks Sly

The Vr1 oil or Brad Penn are both good,with plenty of zinc additive and etc.  I would still put in a bottle of GM EOS (or Comp Cams lube Etc.)with each chance to be extra safe though. :Twocents:

Royal Purple and AMSOil both are good.  Not sure which to use of Royal Purple but AMSOil is 10W-40 for your big motor.  You don't need additional additives in it, plenty of zink.

20-50, NO WAY. Too thick. :Twocents: :shruggy:



I change my oil twice (atleast)a year in the warm summer months I run Brad Penn 20/50 with comp Cams lube. In the winter months I run VR1 10w30 with comp cams lube. I don't drive it in the winter but atleast when I randomly fire it up its not so thick in the cooler temps where I store it.

VR1 for me.. 1/2 the cost as royal purple with just as much ZDDP to get the job done.

Yeah, I thought about bringing this link up but remember how much I got ridiculed for what I said about AMSOil and didn't want to start another wave! ;)
