This was posted at another board and I found that the mileage on oil was wrong. Just FYI to other that look else where.
This Oil worked very well for my car. Results are way better than the mobil 1 it replaced from the previous owner. It did use 1.5qts but oil consumption is going to happen during race conditions. Car may have the start of coolant getting into motor and fuel dilution is up too. I guess I didnt get off easy. It Justs gives me a reason to take apart the motor and do a HEAD JOB!! I just thought I would throw another oil into the great OIL DEBATE! John

Very good results! Like I've been telling a lot of people on here, the LS1 likes an oil that is in between 12-14 cst at 100c, so it likes a thick 30wt to thin 40wt oil. This oil comes in at 13.8 cst, so it's thicker viscosity protected your engine very well during all that hard driving, just look at that lead value of 1, that is simply awesome for a hard driven LS1! Mobil 1 5w30 definitely would've shown at least 10 times that amount of lead. Lead is an indicator of bearing wear.
