what weight oil?
Get Castrol Syntec German version if you want a Castrol version. Autozone has it for like $4.99. I buy it out everytime my local AZ has it. I use it on my other cars. And used to run it on the LS1. VR1 all the way now, since Amsoil Z-Rod is twice as expensive.
I have hi-flo cats....is the VR1 oil not recommended for this? I thought I was running a good oil in the castrol synthetic but all this cam wear talk has made me think twice.
I just did some reading on that oil affecting the cats and it seems like the process would be a very, very long one to take out a cat. The Zn/P level is in the range of what was typical in the 90's. I'm going to give this a try and see how I like it.
Is this the street legal version...
I read there is another one that is not street legal.
edit: the "not street legal" stuff is in a black container and is clearly labeled.

My old TA used a qt of oil EVERY 1000 miles for 135 THOUSAND miles back before they reduced the zinc.........never had any cat troubles so I say its all bs. They don't want engines lasting as long, best way to do that is kill off the older vehicles that need more zinc.
