Oil what kind!
I have a 1998 z28 with a hundred thousand miles! I was going to put 0-40w Mobil 1 in it! I put 5-30w seems to make noises! At 70 miles and hour the pressure is 40 pounds hit passing gear it goes up to 60 pounds! Idling it is 25 pounds! I have always used Mobil!

Sounds like you have really low oil pressure when your idoling. I have an 02 with about 50k miles, my oil pressure is always about 40 or higher. As for oil, i used Penzoil Platnum full synthetic, but if i were you ide run a higher weight oil. Something like 10-30 or 10-40.

Believe it or not, I'm switching to Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 on my next oil change! I have been getting excellent results with green German Castrol, but now that my supply of green GC is running low I'm curious to try PP 5w30 out just to see how it performs since I've seen others get great results with it.
And Pennzoil's conventional oils are very good too, there have been plenty of great oil analysis reports with this oil in many different types of engines. A lot of guys have been running their conventional oil at 5000 mile intervals with low engine wear in their oil analysis reports.
As always, don't just trust someone who says "this oil sucks" unless they've got data to back up those claims. Check out BITOG.com and pay close attention to the used oil analysis reports posted on the message board. After a while, you can see the trends as to which oils are good and which oils are not so good.

i dont know about pennzoil but i ve tried mobile1 and other stuff like castrol.
mobile one is runing well and with less noises. and most of F1 cars use mobile1 oil
plus u can add engine treatment to it it will help more to reduce engine noises and helps u to gain more horse power
i did try it and its workin well

1800 miles and about 1/3 qt consumption with the GC in my 01 LS1 M6. Should I try Mobile 1 0-40 or something? Or am I just being a picky bastard
