What Oil should I run w/MS4? Hey guys I installed my ms4/Ls6 oil pump this past weekend and have since put about 70 miles on the car untuned. I am just about ready to do an oil change to get ready for the tune but was wondering what oil weight I should go with now that I have the cam in. I live in nor. cal and have always run mobil 1 5w30. Any specific oil/oil weight that would be beneficial?

Hey Matt im getting some Amsoil 5w40 and its supposed to be hella good.
87gnx is a dealer for Amsoil, Talk to him about prices if you want. He gave me a deal on 12 quarts.

theyre saying not M1 5w30 bc its the worst compared to other oils in the same 'class'. Kinda like how when you build a motor, there are tolerances for some things (ie, this needs to be between .040 and .055 away form the wall or something) and the same goes for oil weights. M1 5w30 is a 30 weight oil, but its the bottome of the barrel compared to other 30 weights. With that said, im running M1 0w40...
there are TONS of posts about this though..
