LS motor oil
 

What do you all run in your newer LS motors? I just looked up the oil capacity for the LS3 in my car and its damn near 9qts and still a freaking wet sump... I believe they suggest mobil1 but is there anything else people prefer?

i ran vr1 in mine, the dealer will put whatever is in the reel in it, mobil should be fine

Valvoline VR1 20w50

pennzoil

not sure if i would put 20w50 in a newer motor. I would say mobil or mobil 1

We put mobil1 in all v8 camaros, corvettes and cadillacs

its deff not getting 20w50 considering it has less than 16k miles on it...

Royal purple is my first choice, but if you are on a budget Mobil 1 would be my next choice. That's what I run in all my LS equipped vehicles.

would need some loose tolerances for 20w50..... i would just run a synthetic 10w30ish.

10-30 mobile like it says in the book.

5w30 conventional cheapo

I also asked this question and it wasn't worth the trouble or expense to vary from the OTC Mobil 1 5w-30. I tried RP XPR and at 15$ a quart it wasn't worth it, i could rebuild a new engine every 10,000 miles for the price of those oil changes... watch for autozone to have their 5qts and filter for 30 bucks.

MObile 1 5w30.....yeah it sucks changing oil in my G8, cost damn near as much as my duramax. 8.8qts gets expensive real quick!

WTF!?

9 QUARTS!!!

Walmart almost always has killer prices on Mobil 1.

I run Mobil1 0w-40 German Blend. It has 3x as much zinc as 5w-30. I don't have an oil cooler so I need it to retain oil pressure at high temps.

I also run an improved racing oil baffle and over fill by 1quart.

yup. 8.8 quarts of royal purple then a K&N filter makes a g8 oil change close to 110 bucks

Yep it has DOD lifters, G8 with L76 takes 9 and LS3 in my CTS-V takes 7, kinda of backwards if you ask me.
