10w 30 or 40 is factory.

I know a lot run a 10w 50 or 60 for engines that cop a bit of a hiding.

Shell helix any good or valvoline engine armour

Duke57TT · 04-05-13, 17:10

I use Nulon, plenty of people swear by Royal Purple/Penrite/Castrol Edge etc

I use 5w-30 synthetic in standard cars but you could go a bit thicker if its getting a hard time.

HPR 10 for me

Alot of the LS1 forum guys use Castrol Edge 10W 60.

In my VY SS. I just use the recomended 10W 30 Oil from Holden. I use the genuine GM branded oil and filter.
