For a stock LS1. Completely stock. I've always used Lucas Oil, but I just switched to Royal Purple. It seems to run smoother now, althogh people are telling me to switch to Pennzoil Platinum.
What do you think?

What do you think?
PP 10w30.
157k. All the way
Royal Purple is one of the worst....
why is royal purple one of the worst? Ive been using it for about a year in my 98 ss with 100k. Im just curious what your reasons are for why its so bad?
its been dyno proven to give you extra horsepower and extensively tested to be safe.
Yeah I've heard a lot of people say that Royal Purple isn't very good without saying why. My old automotive teacher from high school swore by Royal Purple, and he was an intelligent man with a bunch of car projects.
I take it your read the ads?Quote:

I am thinking about trying Amsoil on my next oil change.

I will not pretend to be an expert now. However I have learned what works and what doesn't.
RP sucks: overpriced purple dyed crap that shears almost instantly.
Right now I am working to see if Castrol Edge can back up the hype they have been expounding. I will not say anything until I have the data to back up what I say.
My ass is too fat to be a butt dyno. At least I do not have my head up my ass.
Pennzoil FTW :yup:
Ive been using Valv Syn for many years now and it doesnt burn a drop of oil and has done well in even my high mileage LT's that i had in the past. Until i get actuall proof on Edge i will be using only Valv Syn.
I run the purple...
You should talk to Sarge about that haha.Quote:

I'd like to use something cheap AF for the initial start up.
I'd hate to pour in $80 worth of high quality fully synthetic just to do get it up to temp a few times and flush the system.
Will a cheap nasty mineral oil cause any issues?
Any suggestions
Cheers
