Sloane:
10W-30, Valvoline or Pennzoil.
When I ported my Z28 Camaro with 20,000 miles on it, the cross
hatching
was still pristine in all 8 cylinders using this grade of oil. I was
impressed.
I would have thought it was impossible to have so little wear at 20k
miles.
So, after my rebuild, that is what I started using in my six.
Time will
tell if the benefits accrue to the same degree. I don't plan on opening
the motor
anytime soon =:-o

Subject: What oil do you use anyway??
With all the oil discussion, it made me think of a simple discussion
point
all my newly found 'expert' friends. What oil do you use? My previous
owner
used Castrol 20w-50, and I have never changed. I pretty much believe in
the
"it's best not to change what she's use to" school of thought when it
comes
to engine oil. Actually, I think I'm probably not doing my engine any
good
at startup, which is why I pose the question. So, not just synthetic,
but
what brand and grade do you use?
