***Important Oil information for ANYONE****
Any idea how rotella 15w40 does. I have ran it in basically everything. My Wrx to 8800rpm at 600awhp, both my d series and b series setups to 9500+ and around 500whp, my ls1
Last year and my 4.8 this year. If I need to switch I will but I always heard it has the most additives. I also change it every 2-3 track outings(about every 2 weeks). Might be a little excessive but it's cheap enough to do.

Here's a good read I found: http://www.enginebuildermag.com/Arti...continues.aspx
From what I've researched, API oils have reduced zinc content because it reduces the effectiveness of the cats.

So build your engine right, use a good oil with high content of ZDDP, and change your cats after 50,000 miles if you are concerned.

Royal Purple's only purpose is to try and 'make more power' at the expense of protection for your engine. It breaks down so quickly.
Do a google search on royal purple damage or royal purple sheer properties.

Thanks.
Which Redline oil? Isn't there a few series of oils?
Check for ones that specify that they are high in either zinc or ZDDP. Can't go wrong with any of the CAM2 products.
It's the truth. I won a free case once from a raffle on the power tour and turned it down.
I am assuming its fine to put in my stock LS1, but just want to make sure.
I got a case of the CAM2 BlueBlood 10w-30 synthetic blend oil, and it says on it "not for use on commercial vehicles/street cars" or something like that. I was wondering why they would say that? What would make it good for "racing" engines, but not recommended for non-racing engines?

Like I said above, yes, the zinc and phosphorous can reduce the effectiveness of the catalytic converters. But again, if your motor is built right, you get minimal blowby and it's not a concern. They have to put that label on due to legal verbage associated with the whole cat battle between the epa, automanufacturers, warranties for cats etc.
So what does everyone think about Mobil 1 Synthetic? I figure if GM puts it on alot of the LS1 oil caps, etc, they have to support it for use in "our engines". Unless Mobil 1 just pays them alot, which could be probable.
But then that would not help them at all with warranty costs.
