has any one found 1 brand that worked better for their car? i've had my SS about 1 month, and my oil light came on yesterday, i was thinking of putting mobil 1 synthetic... what do yall think???? o and ne suggestions for the filter?

 

You're gonna get a lot of different feedback on this but I use Mobil 1 oil and filters, FWIW.

 

mobil 1 oil/filters but thinking about switching to Amsoil

 

I run gtx full synth but that because I am the 3rd owner (99 ta), and the 2 before me every 3,000 or less ran gtx change at a dealer and have all recipts. Plus that what my grand pappy told me to

 

As the first poster replied,,,, there are lots of different opinions. I use German made Castrol 0W30. If you are going to use Castrol synthetic,,, make sure you use the German made stuff {it's only available in 0W30 as far as I know}.

I used M1 0W40 and 0W30 before using the German Castrol. The only reason I switched was because I was seeing so many great results from the Castrol 0W30 on a couple of great boards.

Try a search and maybe look at this board-

It's really a good site to look around on. There are so many good oils out there that I think that you should look at a few tests to see for yourself on what oil you want to run.

 

Super-tech 10w30. Get it at wal-mart. Thats all we ever use in our cars. Dads escort has 250k on it and runs like a sewing machine, all it has ever had in it. Been using it in my car for about 10k and no ticking no nothing, runs great. And also I run champ oil filter...stock size.

 

I am a royal purple fan with fram filters. 5w-30.

 

German made Castrol 0w30 here also with the longer Wix oil filter part number 51522.

 

German Castrol 0W30 w/ longer K&N filter.

 

Mobil 1 10w30 oil with AC Delco filter

 

Kendal 10w30 with AC Delco long filter.

 

Mobil 0W40.

 

thought i would chime in, Mobil 1 10W30 every 2,000 miles!

 

mobile 1 5w30 every, every 3000 miles or less... if u want to spend money get royal purple 5w30 and always run a good synthetic at the very least if ur racing!

the cap on vettes dont say mobile 1 "ONLY" for nothing!!!

 

They don't say Mobil 1 only actually. It says Mobil 1 factory fill, then on the bottom it says special oil required (which is an oil meeting GM 4718M specification)

I use German made Castrol Syntec 0w30, with a K&N oil filter. I don't change it any sooner than 5000 miles since it's a waste of money and the oil doesn't need to be changed any sooner (in fact I'll be doing 6-8k intervals from now on, by following my C5's oil life monitor)

 

I run Kendall Full Syn 5/40 with Valvoline Oil Filter, even Patman liked the results on the Other Board John

 

 

 

Redline fluids here, with K&N filter.
Not only am I a dealer but I am also a client!
