What type of oil do you use in your SS/TC?

I just put in AMSOIL yesterday.

full synthetic 5-30W

 

I put whatever the hell the dealership puts in there... I actually need to make an appointment & take it up there for them to change the oil out! I hope they use Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5W-30 (or whatever our cars recommend).

 

I use Royal Purple 5W30

 

i was debating on mobil 1 5-30 or AMSOIL

i heard royal purple was garbage from a lot of people...

sorry man

 

Mobil 1 5w30 all the time

 

same thing for me!!

 

RP isn't garbage, i put 5w30 Mobil 1 in mine.

 

15w30

 

just what i heard from a lot of people man.

 

15w30? haha wtf?

 

Mobile super syn 0W-30 the high gas mileage type that meets or exceeds GM spec (4718M IIRC) for our cars. I am going to give the Castrol Edge oil a try next itme. In lab tests. It had 8X the wear resistance of Mobile one!!!

 

0-30?

 

Royal Purple 5w-30 and a quart of Lucas full synthetic oil stabilizer FTW

 

Yep. Walmart sells it 5 quarts for $24 or so. It meets or exceeds the GM spec for our 5W-30 not just any 0W-30 will work though. Thinner oil has less friction on cold startups and it will get slightly better gas mileage because of the reduced oil viscosity. Nothing major, but I like the cold start protection factor in the winter.

 

definitely. that ams oil is the SH*T. you should use the 0 weight. you can go 20,000 before changing, and they even send you a kit to take an oil sample.

everyone should check out Amsoil.com. Royal purple is good, Amsoil is BETTER.
it may cost around $70 for an oil change, but you don't have to do it as often

 

yeah my oil changes was 63 last night....

 

What the manual says (and the oil cap)...Mobil 1 5W-30...

 

^same^

 

i use royal purple 5w-30, ive never heard of people using 0w-30 in our cars but i guess it would be helpful in cold weather since the oil is thinner

 

Ditto

 

I use the 5w30 mobile 1 syn extended from walmart, its the cheapest around here in the 5 qt jug. But yeah ^^that castrol edge has grabed my attention and im a lil interested in how it compares.

 

Royal Purple 5w-30 and Delco oil filter =)

Whatever makes my car happiest =D

 

supposed to be lot better. I will see.

 

I don't have a TC, but I always use Castrol 0w-30...its superior to most oils on this side of the pond...

 

okay so what kind oif filters are you using? im just usings the acdelco's rt now since they are kinda oem and real easy to get. thought about going with K&N. I've heard of some of the other filters/glue coming apart. So whats everyone like?
