Any body use Valvoline 5W-30? When the next oil change comes up, im planning on using Valvoline 5W-30. Anybody use this and do you have anyproblems with it. Also i think i have the LS1 "tick" does that come from the kind of oil you use?

Valvoline is fine for a dino-based oil, but I'd go synthetic for sure.

Engine Tick On Cold Start If you want to reduce or sometimes eliminate that embarrassing piston clattering on start up & you live in the south you could use just about any brand of synthetic-blend 10w/40 with a high flow quality filter , and wait for the factory oil change light to replace.
