What Oil Grade LSx454
Hi all, can someone tell me what grade oil I should run in my LSx? Should I run a different grade for the initial start up then dump it and re fill?

I used br30 for break in up to 1000 miles. Then ran conventional 5-30 for another 1000. Now using ls30, it seems like good oil for cool weather but now with 90+ weather it has caused lower pressure at idle and wot.
Idle 17-20psi hot and 40psi cruising hot
Wot 45-50psi hot
This is on autometer electric gauge, stock gauge shows 10 more psi. Should I switch to a thicker oil for summer time use?

I use mineral 5 W 30 Castrol cause it's quality is rite up there with some real good synthetic oils but still allows the brake in to take place, i do all the initial tuning and drive ability, then change oil before heading to the dyno, and again I use mineral 5 W 30 Castrol cause the brake in is still in progress, if you don't do this brake in takes too long, after the dyno and another 2,000 miles or so then I go to my longevity/ protection mode.
