Damn, now I don't know what I should go with. I read a bunch of stuff on bobs site and now I'm all confused. These are the 4 that were most commonly reccomended for LT1 engines:

German Castrol 0w-30
Mobile 1 0w-40
Synpower 5w-40
Castrol 5w-40

Which of these 4 will give me the best Hot idle pressure and best cold start? I'm looking for more of a year round oil since I live in Socal.

Sorry I keep changing my mind, I just have alot of questions.

Try whichever you think you will be most comfortable with, if you are a Mobil fan use that, like I said the M1 30wts are thin, any one of the oils listed are a better choice. I go by DJ over there you probably saw my odd choice in oil
