Pennzoil Platinum ?
Since I cant find german castrol anymore I am going to switch over
Can anyone reccomend a good grade to use??
The car sees mostly summer 60f-95f driving but may occasionally see a start up as cold as 15f
It is not winter driven but is started to move around in storage
I am running a ported ls6 oil pump on the car and it currently has 93k on it
It dosent seem to burn any oil
Thanks in advance

Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30. LS1's love it, great oil for the price with great wear characteristics. I guarantee you won't go wrong with PP 10w-30.
Oil filters in order of preference:
1. Amsoil EaO32 (By far the best filter available today)
2. K&N
3. Delco UPF44

I think I read on one of the boards that WW just dropped the price on M1 oils.

I love this stuff-actually I switched over from mobil1 after the oil analysis came back almost identical for both, since the pennzoil is a hair cheaper. Both are great though.

The German Castrol can be found at a BMW dealer ( not cheap); it is the factory oil for the M5.
Mobil 1 in 0w-40 has a higher film strength at 212F than just about anything on the planet; only a few of the 50W oils are higher. When I bought my 522" from Reher-Morrison they told me that RP would make the most power BUT was very temp sensitive and the Mobil was protecting at 130 or 330: that is all I had to hear. Rather run 9.7's safely than 9.6's with questions or problems . .
Also, the 0W-40 has more phosphorus to protect the valve train; it is greater than 1000 ppm.
Your car:your decision.

If anyone cares German Castrol is back at Autozones around the country. Just picked up a half case. http://theoildrop.server101.com/foru...6j6#Post959576
