All About Engine Oil~!! oil is oil is oil is oil.... nuff said
whatz up with all these ****** oil threads.. use ANY engine oil from 0w-30 to 15w-40... synthetic or not. it will NOT HARM YOUR ENGINE~!!! best way is to do an oil analysis "test" and they already ****** did it and result seems like GC 0w-30 is the best.

if you dont like it then use something different but oil is oil. ls1 will ALWAYS BURN OIL and make noises. just cuz you reduce the engine noise doesnt mean itz not hurting the motor or vice versa. if your car burns lots of oil then do a leak down test or add a catch can or do a PCV delete or go buy a new car.
~just do make sure your not running too low in your engine. Check you oil level every other day. if itz low then add it. do a frequent oil changes.
these procedure will keep you engine running healthy.
vent off.

wont harm it but some build up more then others... amsoil, mobile and castrol are the best i have heard from mechanics and members on this board.. I run 10-30W castrol right now.. want to goto 4 quarts of it with lucas stablizer soon... hopefully thats a good move

i put in GC 0W30 in my Trans Am and it made it kncok more.. went back to my M1 5W30 and quiter than ever.. although today when i took the Trans Am today seemed loud. it was over a month since i drove the car... prolly bc i am used to the quietness of my toyota
I tried the GC oil too and it made mine sound like it was going to come all to pieces. Back to M1.
YES OIL IS OIL AND SOME ARE CLEANER THAN OTHERS. IF OIL IS CHANGED REGULARY THAN IT IS OK.

i switched to GC and when the oil is new theres a lot more knock, but once i get a few miles on the oil all of the knock goes away and runs completely quiet and smooth....

i told you;GC 0w-30 is thick. thatz why it made more noise. if you dont like it then use something different. try valvoline 10w-40 or castrol 10w-40
