Castrol Syntec 5w-50. 330,000 miles and never leaked or burned a drop. Started it with the second oil change from new. (1997).

Well I had enough of the other oil in my shop so I used it all up. And if I hadn't it would have gone to waste. That kept me from having to buy any oil this time. Just the OE filter. I always rock the 65F00. Thanks for all the info. I'll keep it all on the back burner for now.

mainly M1 10w-30 until last year. read around the bitog forums to discover that M1 isn't a fully synthetic after all. so, feeling ripped off @ those fully synthetic prices, i switched to castrol syntec blend 10w-30. add to that, the VE burns a lot more oil than the DE ever did, and it's a no brainer to switch to a less expensive high quality oil. i'll probably pack 3 quarts with me on the ~3000 round trip to LA and Vegas. hope to come home with ~1/2-3/4 quart left.

Your actually wasting your money on buying a blend. Pennzoil Platinum has good oil analysis and its 19 bucks for 5 quarts at walmart.

i've used castrol syntec 0w30 (made in germany) on other cars, because its good stuff, produces good uoa's.

in the ve i'm going to give lubro moly 0w40 a try. right now i'm running some auto-rx through the crankcase.
