Trying new Oil!
I just purchased 6 qts of Amsoil Series 2000 0W30 synthetic motor oil. I'll report back when I get some feel for the product.

amsoil is suposed to be one of the best, but in my opinion i would have gone with a higher wiegth LS1's are known for going through at least a quart between oil changes.

Nooo, 30W is all these engines need. They are designed to use a litle oil. about 1 qt eevery 3-5 thousand miles. A heavier weight oil will only cause more friction and a loss of power.

The only way to tell what an oil is doing is with an oil analysis.

Do you think maybe their engineers know something we don't?
