Only run synthetic in an SS/SC. Any brand will be fine as long as it meets GM Standards.

I run Mobil 1 Synthetic.

This^^

And just out of curiosity (don't mean to threadjack) how much oil came out of your LSJ? Because I changed the oil in mine about 2000 miles ago and 7.5qts came out....my dad's v8 northstar only holds 8, so i figured 7.5 was a lot for a 4 banger

We have a large oil pan along with an oil cooler.
