What should I use?
Ok my car is parked for winter (-50 Celcius with windchill right now) so its not going anywhere but I'am currently collecting everything I need to get it ready in the spring. Right now my motor uses dino oil and I want to switch to synthetic. I have narrowed it down to a few choices.
Either:
Redline 5W-30
Redline 10W-30
Redline 5W-40
Or
Mobil 1 5W-30
Mobil 1 10W-30
This car isn't drove in the winter time so usually the temps are around 5 Celcius to 35 Celcius.
I was kinda think towards either Redline 10W-30 or RL 5W-40.
What should I do or not do?

I have been reading lots of good info over at bobistheoilguy.com or whatever the site is called and Redline and Mobil 1 oil are comparably the same in everyday street driving but it is high rpms that the Redline holds up better. Will it hurt my LT1 to run RL 5W-40? So far it seems to be the best for minimal engine wear but I don't want to run a oil that is too heavy and make my motor knock. Anyone run this oil in a LT1 before?
