Re: what are you running???

There is a long thread on this about once a week and honestly I have spent way too much time on them already. Click on my screen name than look at my recent posts and you will easily find several threads.
The 5w-30 and 10w-30 M1 everyone thinks is the best stuff for this engine is not anywhere near as good a choice as "the Vette got it" would lead you to believe. It is good oil just not appropriate here if you like M1 then go 0w-40 or 5w-40, if you want a 30wt. then use something other than M1.
