penzoil platinum 5w-30 (car is only driven in the summer) for those that said royal purple, check out sarges oil write-ups over on ls1.com ..... you guys might be suprised, i used to use royal purple as well until i read those write-ups

Royal Purple is garbage in my opinion and I can provide facts if need be. It started out pretty good but has since been surpassed by some of the cheapest oils on the market.

There's so many "oil" threads already. Try the search sometime. There's also a lot of GOOD info on oil on bobstheoilguy.
what is the big deal, this is a forum right. he asked a stupid question, if you dont like it dont look at it. there is a million exhaust questions that ask the same question over and over. and besides products do change, or get improved upon every year.
and for the op, right now i am using mobil one 10w 30 with there filter it was on sale. i usually dont like to change the brand of filter i use, but when money is tight.

Ive used just about every synthetic(even bought into the amsoil thing for a change lol) but the last few changes have been w/ Q horsepower...only 20 bucks at walmart for 5 quarts and there reviews are good. i only use full synthetics in the Z...when i bought the car last year it had a little oil leak...after a few changes the leak was gone...im a believer that it helps the seals,etc.

Anyone have any experience or information on Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40?? I know some guys run conventional 15W-40 Rotella in their engines, but its much too viscous for anything other than racing applications, and its not suitable for winter.
From what I've read, T6 Synthetic 5W-40 has much more zinc and anti-wear additives than regular gasoline oil, which is why it may be beneficial to use it in our engines.
Currently I run Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic or Valvoline Synpower.
