I think most people run Holy water in their LS motors. They are the chosen ones you know!

yes, 0w-40 m1 is good if you can find it in the big jug. i prefer that to the 5w-30 on my turbo vette

Autzone no longer carries is, O'Rieleys doesnt either. Advance had the 0w40 European Formula but it didnt say made in Germany, it said made in Bolivia. it was also 8.99 an effin qt... I'm going to end up just running normal mobil1 since it'll be 50-60 instead of 100 to do an oil change.
