What Oil Do You Use?
What Oil Do You Use? I just did a cam swap and figured i would try 10w30 Syn. Modil 1 and ever since i change to modil 1 syn. my valve train has been alittle noisey. I checked my preload and the oil pump was never removed to install the cam so it cant be the O ring. Before i changed to modil 1 10w30 syn I used 10w30 syn-blend and it was fine, I'm just curious on whatever else uses on there camaro/bird. I may go back to syn-blend.

As posted on another portion of the site: "An aggressive cam will make more noise because the valves will be hitting the seats harder and the lifters hitting the lobes harder."
So get Mobil 0w-40 to quiet the noise.

Castrol 10w40 non synthetic in my 99 T/A and I run it in everything I own and so do all my friends.. If its a all out race motor it gets Kendall 50wt and nothing but..
I've always run Mobil1 in all of my cars, however I just dropped a stupid amount of money stocking up on some German Castrol 0w30 at AutoZone, so I'll be running that with K&N or WIX filters for the foreseeable future.
