Default Soon-to-be Sponsor Poll
My research has shown that LS1 owners prefer:

Royal Purple 10W-30
Mobil One 5W-30
Red Line 10W-30
Amsoil 0W-30
Various "conventional" dino oil

Which would you prefer for your LS1?

I use Mobil 1 0w40 and either a K&N filter (long) or a Supertech filter when I can't find the K&N.

K&N is made by Champion Labs actually, not Fram... Champion makes the K&N, Wal-Mart Supertech, etc.

Ah so it's not as bad as I was led to believe... cool. Going to switch to Mobil 1 filter though anyways... Autozone around here carries the Mobil 1 0w40 AND the Mobil 1 filters so I'll get them both from one stop

I use 10w30 motor oil. I buy whatever name brand that is on sale.

I change my oil & filer every other weekend.

I just race my car at the track now, about 40 passes every 2 weekends. No more street driving.

I use redline 10w30/10w40 in my vette with a K&N filter
Camaro gets 0w40 mobil 1 typically with an ac delco ultragold.

Camaro is daily driver, vette is toy.

Do you find the Amsoil filters to be of good quality?
