Conventional Castrol 10w30 and a Wix filter using it since 1998 never had a problem or wear issues. There may be better options but I change it after every 15-20 passes so this keeps it easier on my wallet, not gonna fix what ain't broke! Regular ATF Dextron 3 in the T56 and GL5 80w90 in the 9". Mostly track car with weekend street time, maybe 40 miles at a time.

Man y'all use some thick oil any reason why y'all chose to run it?

We both are turbo cars not really applicable to stock engines but you asked.

Because its what the motor and the bearing clearances were set for.

Hmm ok cool that makes sense also I haven't built a motor so I wouldn't know the preferred oil yet really been thinking about adding boost not sure yet probably after the motor pops Been thinking either 355 or 383 built for a front mount turbo set up

20W50 Pennzoil non-synthetic.

I milk it pretty often on alcohol and it is cheap.

When I had a street car I ran 10W30 Mobile 1

Wix or AC delco filter Mobil 1 or castroil edge 10w 30. Thought about giving delco' s dexos approved blend a shot. So far I like Mobil 1
