might want to try and search, seeing there are about 15 other polls that are the same exact thing. Maybe you can find more info there, faster.

You dont even list the more common oils being used today.

Sorry I'm not on here 24 hours a day seven days a week. I put the most common oils on the market that you can find in any autoparts stores. Instead of stuff 90% of people out have never heard of. Thats why I put other on the poll FOR OTHER OILS. my ***

lol I was just trying to make a point. If everybody did searches on here there would be no ls1tech forums. There would only be ls1tech archives. Because I'm sure 99% of all the forums open right now have already been discussed.

German Castrol 0W-30... I have about 5 oil changes worth left.

After that I would probably use Amsoil 5W-40 European Car Formula or Mobil 1 0W-40 ... or possibly try some Motul 8100 Ester E-tech if I was feeling adventurous
