Royal purple 0w-40
Did a little searching but couldn't find anything on this oil. I wanted to run M1 0w-40 but couldn't get any (my oil selection is limited) so i figured I would try the RP. Is this too thick for the LS1?
I've ran everything from RP 5-30 to M1 0-40 to GC 0-30 to AMsoil 5-40 and can't tell too big of a difference between them. I just wanted some opinions on this RP 5-40 before i put it in there. Thanks guys.

I really like the Amsoil but not enough to pay 10 bucks a quart lol. And the GC is so hard to find.

If I had to switch from GC 0-30, I would go with Mobil one and then my 3rd choice would be RP 0-40. I don't see how a 40 straight would be a problem, as the number before it doesn't mean much after start up.

Yea idk where you heard that? I run 20w50 and 15w50 in my car all day long. The thick oil acts as a cushion even though it could take some power away, but when your talking about good **** like amsoil,german castrol, and stuff like that, you really shouldnt worry as they are ALL good top of the line oils to begin with.
