Well just got my first F-body (LT1) and wanted to know what was your preferred oil type/brand? I have a '96 T/A WS6 A4 with 92k miles and will need an oil change in a few weeks, and wasn't sure if there was a specific type the LT1 "likes" more than others. Thoughts?

ive always just used mobil 1 5w30 and a purolator filter.
Just don't use a fram filter, or the fram's in disguise.

Been using them for 15 years. Best oil and filter on the planet period. I use the M302 filter too. There is no sense in running the small filter.Originally posted by ToplessFormula2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

I use Castrol. 10W-30. I also use a AC-Delco Filter. Its the #52 instead of the standard #46 filter. The 52 is a little taller which holds more oil. Mobile one is really good too. Like I ways say, If its good for a Vette Its good for my car, Just a bit $$$ but worth it.Eddie

I'm doing an oil change today, just thought I'd mention that Advance has a nice little sale going.
mobil 1 quarts are under 5 bucks, and K&N oil filters, regularly $14, are on sale for under $10.
I just paid like $35 bucks for an oil change that usually costs about $45. Nice!97 Chevy 'Raro Z28 M6- Ported & Polished LT1 heads,beehives,1.6/1.94 valves, 226/231 custom cam,K&N FIPK, 94-95 BBK shorty's,ORY,Magnaflow Catback,no cats,BMR LCA Relocation Brackets,Lower Control Arms,Adjustable Panhard Bar,Eibach Pro Kit,SPEC Stage 1,Walbro 255 Fuel Pump,30LB Injectors,Pro 5.0,Short stick,MSD 8.5's,NGK TR55's,LT4KM

I run the M1-111 oil filter.Originally posted by Jeff 95 Z28
There is plenty of sense in that if you have Kooks headers and a longer filter won't fit. Before that, I used the AC Delco PF34L filter which is a longer synthetic filter.Comment
