. If I was to go to the next level Id only use Royal Purple. Out of all the products they make for radiator, tranny, rear, oil, powersteering, etc. I seen an LS1 car, stock, they changed all oils etc to Royal Purple and it gained 25-30 RWHP. No lie, seen it.

I did the M1 thing, got tired of spending the money when I would hit 3 months before it was time to change it, so I went with GTX and I would still hit 3 months before it was time to change, but atleast its easier on the wallet. Ive also heard a few on here who run the walmart "Super Tech" brand as its just re-badged Quaker State.

You don't have to change every 3 months, and you don't have to change every 3000 miles,
I know you may think you are being extra sweet to you car by doing so,
but you can just look at your oil and see when it changes,
I have gone 6 months without an oil change in my race car and other cars, because when they are sitting in the garage and oil getting driven once a month, always for less than 100 miles, the oil is not going bad.
My friends LS1 w/Mobil 1, went 9,000 miles with the oil still looking great!
before we changed it.

i believe patman recommends penzoil platinum since GC is getting harder to find
"As far as what oil to use, I'd go with Pennzoil Platinum 5w30. It's probably the best oil on GM's 4718M list:"
