Any success with this?

Yeah I need to get around to checking my intake system one of these days, too lazy so far lol. About due for another change soon which should be interesting

M1 Supercar is just a rebrand of the old ESP stuff iirc. If you go with a cheap 0w40 you’d probably want to go with the euro formula as mentioned. Been a while since I was reading about oils and stuff so I can’t remember why I didn’t go for the 0w40 euro, I’m just using the usual EP 5w30 plus...

i'm in just over 20 bucks per sample with OAI, what would be some other labs in that price range? i vaguely remember blackstone getting a bit of a bad rap here and on other forums over the past few years and theyre a bit expensive as well stock airbox especially on the LS2 cars is not great...

is there much difference between normal M1 and the high mileage variant? which M1 0w40? i know there's the dexos 2 spec for C7/C8s (which i've seen rated poorly here), euro spec, etc cold air intake, mine is an aftermarket one compared to the stock airbox and it's possible the filter is done...

99% of the time it's under 210, usually under 200. just very occasionally will hit 220-230 and comes right back down when i stop hooning lol. what other oils should i try? having an oil change be 30-40 bucks all in is pretty nice, so i'd prefer not to need an oil that's 2-3x the cost. was...

Runs fine, no CEL, no weird noises aside from what I suspect is an exhaust rattle very occasionally and the creakiness that’s well-associated with GM build quality lol. It’s hardly modified, mostly just the headers to make 30 extra hp. Oil temp is usually 200-210F, 230 in spirited driving, all...

Followup to previous post here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2006-corvette-unknown-oil-mileage-or-type-first-change.355879/ TL;DR: purchased early last year with 110k miles, now nearing 117k. Engine is stock internals with CAI and long tube headers w/ tune to match. Last change was...

Late followup but I’ve just done the next oil change at a bit over 4000 miles. Early but oil+filter is cheap and I’m interested in seeing the analysis sooner than later. Still using an AC Delco UPF46R and Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30, not sure if there’s any difference between that and the...

Reached out to the previous owner. Castrol indeed, it had 2k on it prior to my purchase of the car. Any reason Castrol is high on titanium and does it matter?

How do you like that oil in the vette? Seems pretty affordable

6 quarts is sump capacity for the Z51 cooling system IIRC, mine is base spec all around lol. Full exhaust system, long tube headers going to a flowmaster exhaust so it makes some noise! Would definitely recommend especially on these older Vettes, the original exhaust is a bit disappointing. The...

Yep already heard about starter issues. Haven't had any issues yet and it looks to still be in good shape for now. Thanks though!

I know GM retroactively changed the spec for LS/LT engines from 5w30 to 10w40 but I'm not particularly sold on it since it seems a lot of engine builders say a 30wt oil is best. There was a euro formula of Pennzoil that I considered but I think it was only API SN instead of SP. Never heard of...

Probably a fair guess in any case, I'd bet if you took it to a dealer they'd use M1. Not the slightest clue why they put diesel. I went in and changed it manually... and then ran into another issue on sump capacity; it takes 5.5 quarts but they only record integer amounts lol Would it make any...
