I switched from Mobile One to Royal Purple then just recently switched to Red Line. All oil is 5w30 full synthetic. I also just switched to the k&n oil filter. I use the long version in my SS and the short in my WS6. I got a nice increase in oil pressure with the oil/filter switch too.

Fbody Man,
Just what i was thinking.I noticed my oil starts to change color after about 1000mi.Makes me want to change it when i notice it getting darker in color.
Does that mean it's starting to break down when the oil color starts turning darker?

I was hoping to hear from the Coach on this one.Thanks for the response everyone.I'm going to go look for a couple of cases of oil and some filters,maybe i'll try the K&N oil filter.
