Skappa I see many threads recommending Castrol 0-60 I’ve used it, wasn’t impressed so was wondering if it had to do with amount of km's hence why I stated which service it was coming up to. I’m happy to search, which I have already before making the thread, couldn’t find anything in relation to X amount of km's. grats on giving a typical answer

0-60 in an LS1? why on earth would you do that?

I ran faithfully Nulon 10w-30 or 10w-40 "modern everyday vehicle" in mine until about the 240 mark and then I went to the high mileage stuff

Use what's stated in the owners manual, if your worried otherwise then get oil tests done.
