What kind of oil do you use in your Olds! Post it UP!!
There are so many threads about it so I figured this would be a good place to start a "what kind of oil do you use on your hot rod Olds" thread. Post it up! I personally use 7 qt of 20w-50 Supertech oil(Wal-Mart brand) and 1qt of Lucas Oil Stabilizer in my turbocharged 455 BBO for the last 5 years.

I use 20w50 synthetic because I'm trying to clean all the crap out of my abused, mistreated 307.

Re: What kind of oil do you use in your Olds! Post it UP!!
Dello 400 15w40 it has more zinc in it then Rotella
but i have a stock pile of older pre 2007 Rotella 15w40 and Dello 400
BTW The mult SM oils I had tested all had approx 800-850ppm zddp you need 1200ppm+ to be affective stock cams it is so/so but if you have a performins cam I would run good oil with Zinc it in

Re: What kind of oil do you use in your Olds! Post it UP!!
10w-30 Mobil 1 (full synthetic and mobil 1 oil filter).
I run Mobil 1 Clean 5000 in the colt because it's $11 for 5 qts at walmart with a k&n filter because mobil 1 stopped making filters for them and k&n's filter to the same micron as the mobil 1.
