Some people swear by M1 5w-30/RP 5W-30 and get very upset if you say it's not a good oil. It's a fine oil just not ideal for the LS1. Both tend to be on the thin side at temperature and the LS1 likes a thicker oil.

My 5.0 hated M1 10-30. It made more noise and ran hotter. With Shell Rotella 15-40 the motor purrs nicely. My dad has torn apart every motor he wore out (quite a few as he used to esxoret over size loads) and experimented with a LOT of oils and even used to sell/use AMSOIL. He concluded that 15-40 shell rotella did the best in his 5.0s/4.6 crown vic pilot cars and that AMSOIL was not worth the $$.
My Experience....
THe 95 TA I bought had castroil GTX run through it...it took oil changes every 500 miles to keep from clogging the filter that Rotella cleaned so much **** out of there.
previously stated about my 5.0
a 93 crown vic with a 98 5.4L did not like Rotella T as it was a bit thick for it, it preferred GTX 10-30, then again, the motor had sat in storage a few years and after it limbered up i never tried Rotella, so I dont know
According to at least 1 oil analysis I have seen, Rotella 15/40 cut wear metals in half in one LS2 GTO as compared to M1 5-30 (or was it 10-30?).
Either way, I like the stuff, its cheap and it holds up damn well under heat, thats why big turbo trucks use it for thousands of miles
