Oil and filter for LQ4 swap? Yo guys just curious what oil and filter I should be running on my 6.0 swapped 4th gen. Ive seen some people recommend silverado filters and seen some people saying to use LS1 filters. Oil I was definitely going to go with synthetic but not sure what weight, engine has H/C/I with longtubes, also planning on a nitrous setup here soon. Just looking for knowledgeable opinions

Use the oil filter specific to the oil pan you are running... As far as synthetic I cant help you on that, I run conventional Valvoline in mine 5w-30 in both my 5.3's

Yes unfortunately im not the brightest crayon in the box and when I bought the car the previous owner didnt have a clue what oil pan was on it either. I didnt even think about it at the time. Anyone know if there is a part # or something on the pan so I can distinguish what pan is actually on my car?

So I found 12558899 stamped on my oil pan but it doesnt come up as an fbody pan nor can I find that number for ANY gen 3 or 4 6.0lq4 to associate it with..IDEAS??? I already checked the giant stickt on oil pans which is where I got most of my info. I came across some questions resgarding my same issue when I googled it but no definitive answer
