Thoughts on Q Horsepower

what are your thoughts on Q horsepower? im currently using GC 0W30, but its getting hard to find in my area and i cant justify the 50+ on 6 quarts from WS6Store. i think im going to try it here in 2k more, and see how it holds out, unless i hear bad things about it.

Don't use that garbage. If you absolutely can't find GC in your area, use RP or M1. You can get RP by the case on Ebay delivered to your door for a decent price

I think its a good oil, same family as Pennzoil Platinum and I have seen good UOA reports plus the price is nice. I would'nt second guess using it.

Pennzoil platinum seems to be the next best choice to GC. I've heard nothing but good things about it from the oil guru's. I've been running it for a couple oil changes now.

Id go Penzoil platinum for sure. Great oil for the price. Royal purple if you dont mind the money. Im sure Q horsepower is a decent oil, but im gonna stick with what the oil gurus have shown proven results with.

5W30 on the PP? or is there a different weight that the LS1's like better?

Yup..Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 is my next choice..Infact i can still get GC relatively easy..but i use pennzoil platinum..My only complaint with the Platinum is that on long highway trips my car seems to burn this oil quicker than other oils i've tried..other than that..its readily available..and you can get it for really cheap when advance auto has the buy one get one free sale. Patman, our resident oil guru is currently using Platinum in his vette instead of GC..So that probably says something about this oil...
