let me know how you go/suitable.

I used to run 10/60 in my unopened LS1 and it was the best I found for reduced noises.

10/60 in an LS3 though i'm not sure unless you have heaps of Km's?

Why don't you just use Penrite Enviro+ GF5 5W30. It's fully synthetic, Dexos1 certified, and available at a reasonable price - around $53 for 5l and even cheaper when on special.

I run Castrol Edge 5-30. The engine is quiet and no complaints. It's all I will use now moving forward with leftover half bottles so I buy more. TBH I don't think the Penrite would be much different they are all good quality oils these days.

I usually stick to the manufacturer's recommendation re oil grade / weight. Changing it up can void warranty. Penrite all the way. But I like Nulon too. That said, I once filled my low k L77 with Penrith 10/10ths. It sounded like a chaff cutter. I put 5w30 Enviro straight back in and it's sounded sweet ever since.

I use Castrol 4T in my Bikes, but I've only used Penrite in the SSVR

Just for any penny pinchers like me got 5 X 5w40 5L Castrol edge from Supercheap for $140. Spend $200 get 30% off they are $40 on sale atm.

In my LS1 the Catrol 10w60 made it noisier but that apparently is normal

Have Castrol 5w30 for the VE V6 and hoping its not gonna be a noisy goat

Otherwise had great success with Liquimoly and Penrite

Big fan of liqui-moly products, and I've been keen to try their oils, but can't find any Dexos rated ones available here in 5w-30 (I'm sticking to manufacturers recommendations). How do you compare it against the others and which weight have you used?
