I go with what is recommanded dude, 20 50w for sure its a 6!!... keep that and never change it again...the more money u spend on oil the better it will be for ur car..

a tool i knew used black and gold brand oil in his v8 vl, that didnt last long at all car went bang!!

what does that have to do with what grade oil it takes ?? just because its a 6 doesnt mean it takes thicker oil. for example a BA falcon takes magnatec 10w-30 even thinner again

I've been using Penrite 20-60 in my vl for 7 years now changing the oil and filter every 5000. It's pretty expensive s*** and some people say it's excessive but I figure grease and oil are cheaper than parts. What do you guys think about that grade? Been using it since it had 170000 now done 240000 and no probs, singing like a bird. :thumbsup:
