I am in no way trying to start an oil debate with this thread. I was just curious... what oil was put in Lt1's from the factory?

 

I know the Vettes had Mobil 1 full synthetic b/c they deleted the oil cooler, but I'm not sure about the F-bodies.

 

yea i know. vettes and most of the ls1's got mobil 1 factory filled. but nothing is ever told of what the forgotten lt1 got put in it.

 

probably just standard conventional motor oil. .....

 

i know but what kind of conventional?

 

mobil clean 5000, I read it some where on bobistheoilguy long time ago.

 

mobil clean 5000 didn't exist back in 93-97..

 

Go look at your oil cap it will tell you

 

What does that have to do with anything.

The OP is looking for feelgood useless information, I am sure he would have like to think it was Mobil Clean 5000. You went and ruined that for him.


An honest intelligent answer would be

Whatever was cheapest!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

good to know that, but im pretty sure GM use mobil clean 5000 for their dino oil fill now.

 

i heard that different dealers were using various brands,(valvoline,mobil,castrol) oil but was 10w30 but it was Not synthetic going in the engine..

 

Fish oil

 

75% olive oil, with a 25% blend of veggy oil.

 

Motor oil.

But seriously, I'm sure they just used whatever conventional oil was available/cheap that was working with them at the time or for that year. Nothing special.

 

royal purple...... well thats just what i read while i was dreaming one night

 

Exactly, they buy it in bulk, usually the cheapest guy wins

 

well what might seem useless and "feelgood" to you might be interesting to me. it's a topic that i have never seen brought up and i thought it would be interesting to know. and why would you assume that i "would have liked it to be mobil clean 5000" ??? that is ridiculous.

i don't guess you can get a straight answer or have a discussion on this forum anymore without people coming in and being jackasses.

 

Wanna beer ? bud light

One more question, dint our car factory fill is 5w30 ?

 

lol sure. yea its 5w30.

 

thanks bud
