What oil to use wiht LS1 75,000 hey guys I was debating this yesterday night with a friend I know that the Ls1 recomended is 5-30W however with 75,000 miles ...I was thinking of putting in some Lucas Syn 20-50W. What could be the recommended oil for this car?

Dont put that thick of oil in cars, your doing more harm than good. Moble 1 10/30 or 10/40 synthetic would be your best bet. My car has 100k on it.

Wow everyone has a different opinion. I am getting my oil changed today and my SS has 70,000 miles on it as of yesterday. Going to get Mobile 1 10W30. Anything though that might quiet down the valvetrain noise from the cam?

I secound the valvoline, I find that WHEN I CHANGE my oil that mobil 1 is like black and burnt For what ever reason, but when I use valvoline with a K/N oil filter the stuff comes out cleen. now you may have to go threw 3 oil changes to get that result but trust me I use it on all my cars now I. MY truck with 160,000 miles valvoline with a K/n the oil is cleen everytime I change it between 3 and 6,000 miles.

Not oil, but longer (7.425) pushrods will quiet down your valvetrain noise. I have a 214/218 high lift comp cam that made a lot of noise with the 7.4 push rods, and switched to the 7.425 rods and now is as quiet as stock.

M1 5w30 in everything for me too.

Volvo ~163K
Chrysler ~90K

Sometimes I even put it in my hair. It's great on cereal! You can fertilize your yard with it!
