    The LS1 seems to be sensitive to oil type for some
    reason. And what is good for one, doesn't necessarily
    work for another. I have been running Mobil 1 5w-50
    for about 10,000k know and apart from some minor
    lifter noise for about 60 seconds at startup it is as
    quiet as a mouse. I would do exactly as you said
    and go back to your previous oil, although in saying
    that, If you are still under warranty straying away
    from the recommended 10w30 could give holden
    an excuse to void your warranty.
