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

shit, i guess i better swing by the church on the way home and let dude man know he'd better get to blessing...

I ran mobil 1 in my gto and the shit looked new when it came out, save for the cracked piston.

^^ This, if you can find enough of it! Oil analysis' have proven it better than standard Synthetic Mobil1.

Is Autozone the only place that has it for sale?

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

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

I run 10w 30 Mobil 1 with 2 wix 1515 filters. but my oil cap is now 15qt.

vr1 10w30 is 5.99 a qt. pretty cheap for some bad ass oil.

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.
