Default Opinions on GC 0w30.
I currently run Mobile 1 Extended Performance, been hearing alot of talk about GC 0w30. What kind of oil pressure are you guys seeing at idle and while cruising? My car is H/C/I with spray, Thanks.

I have been using it for years. Oil pressure 60+. I also use a K&N 2006 oil filter.

Went to Autozone today, five quarts of GC plus a K&N oil filter for $30. That's about $1 off each quart and a free filter.

AZ carries it and runs slightly higher OP # 's than M1 on my car. Had two UOA'a done and they were strong with only slightly higher silicates but that was due to my air filter not sealing good.I am convinded it prolly the best out there for a atock 346. Will continue to run it and this is stretching my intervals from 3500k-5000k

I run it also. The car does great on it with ZERO oil consumption issues.

Plus with the specials that AZ always runs on it, its pretty much a no brainer.
