Default What motor oil do you use?

i'm sure this is a very vague question, but what brand of motor oil seems to be the best in the LS1? i'm assuming that a full synthetic should be used?

B and N automotive Quantum Blue 12.5 w 35 Mineral Synthesis base Oil . Quantum Catalyst extreme use anti-wear formula and Blue Catalyst molecular shear and viscosity formula with with stands 6000 degree comustion temperature.


The oil is blended just for my car. The bottle comes with your name on it and what they added.

Give them a call you will be shocked as to what is in you so called named brand products . 16 oz of oil yeilds about 11.2 onces of solvents......
Dont know about you , but i dont want anything in my oil that is gonna break it down even quicker.
So before i start to make all the amsoil and mobil one guys made here I will stop. Give Brian a call at Bnd automitive 440-821-9040

All I know is don't use VECTRA 2 Mobil Oil... There was a guy here at my command thought he could be slick and steel a 5 gallon jug of it, It ended up costing him a new Engine and a UCMJ Charge. Lmao, Funniest **** I have ever seen.
