  • What oil is in your sump?

    Currently I have Mobil 1 0w30 and a AC Delco PF52 filter.

    Meijer conventional 5W-30 with a quart of Pennzoil 10W-30 mixed in.

    Purolator PL24011 (or whatever the number is for the PF52 sized Pure1).
    1995 Monte Carlo LS 3100, 4T60E...for now, future plans include driving it until the wheels fall off!

      mobil 1 15w50 in the GP, and some shell 5w30 in the wagon. I am liking the thick oil for the 3.4 DOHC so far but I can't really get on it because the alt is crapping out fast. PF52 all around for my 60V6s.

        Would you recommend a 40 weight in a LA1 in the summer? I have a 5 gallon pail of Delo 15w40 for the lawn mowers that isn't getting used too quick.

          Redline 5W30 in all my vehicles with 12,000 kilometer oil changes. The Toyata uses the stock filter but in Delco brand and my trucks use a PF2C Delco on Canton remote filter systems.

                    I always use Valvoline. Most of my vehicles get straight 30 weight but my Celebrity VR is going to get 40 weight of some kind due to high mileage & a flickering oil light @ hot idle.
                    Tuning a car is full of compromises. You must decide if you are willing to give up either reliability, performance, or a whole load of cash. Also remember that repairs will seem to come up much more often as you strive for even more performance
