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.

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
