Thanks PMan!! I knew this from months ago but naturally I forgot!

Wondering what the longer oil filter part number is in AC Delco and Napa for LS1 Camaro's? Thanks-

So after reading the anti-drainback valve thread, does an LS1 need the valve or not? I still have my Bosch 3423 in the box, supposidly it's equivilant to the PF59 which has the valve?, **** ! This is not easy!

Dragboat- interesting! Why uphil?

Exactly right Patman. This engine has yet to show any signs of consumption, keep in mind it only has 1750 miles. Thanks guys- As you can see this car is rarely driven. To your point Molakule- If I wait until 3000 miles before switching to synthetic, that will be a long, long time. Thanks for the...

Got a 2001 435hp SS Camaro(all aluminum LS1). Changed the oil at 500 miles to Chevron Supreme, now it has a total of 1750 miles on the engine. Just got a case of Schaeffer 10W30 Blend to go in it but wonder if I should put more miles on before the switch to synthetic? Thanks in advance

Patman, I just bought a bosch premium oil filter for my SS Camaro LS1. I always run the longer filter, usually K&N. Part number was 3423 for an '01 truck. Do you know if this the correct longer filter? Thanks

I'm with Patman Bob- To say thanks to ANY of the Schaeffer distributors is to acknowledge and say thanks to you as well Bob. Thanks for the site, the knowledge and all the help!!

Patman-Yes I will do an oil analysis but I accumulate very few miles on the car per year so I guess it will be quite a while. I have Chevron Supreme dino in right now and I will send a sample off when I change to Schaeffers. Also- I run the K&N long filter for my '01 LS1, I may do a quick flush...

Just got my 10w30 Schaeffers synthetic blend order(ordered from this board)from David Solomon and I couldn't be happier with the service from David. The first order was had a mistake and he quickly took care of it. David has my business for sure. Now all I have to do is fill up my '01 SS Camaro...

Dragboat-Thanks for your insight.

Many ASA (which were strictly LS1's) race engine builders bought oil consumption lemon law LS1's from GM, fixed the consumption issue, and put them into ASA race cars. One of the best ASA engine programs is right here in Georgia (Garry Grimes), he said 100% of his lemon law rebuilt LS1's...

sprintman- 3000 miles before synthetic seems to be the way to go. That being said, is Chevron Supreme 10W30 the best I can give it? Thanks for the reply's

Do a search. And don't forget to use spell check!

Guys- Redline wouldn't be a problem at $7 per qt., but they recommend 3000 miles minimum before switching.... right? Thanks-

Thanks Soma07! Patman-She may not see 7000 rpm....at least it hasn't yet anyway. I'd feel a little under-insured with a $1.08 oil in its veins, even though Chevron is good I want to give her the best oil. Changing oil is not a problem either, even at 1.5 inches lower I can get it up on rhino...

2001 Berger SS Camaro. 1300 miles total on engine. 6 speed LS1 with phase II heads/cam package (435hp). This car is garaged and only driven occasionally to shows and cruising. I'm using a K&N oil filter and Chevron 10W30 oil based on (the oils spec sheet)and all the good things I've read on this...

I worked 12 years with a major valve, crankshaft, o-ring seal supplier to Ford, GM, DiamlerChrysler, Honda, and Toyota. I ran the durability testing department which performed key-life testing to all these mfg's specs. We manufactured our own rubber formulations and stamped our own metal case. I...

Patman-Trooper seems to have hit on something. I see you're at 999 posts, just thought I'd help you make 1000! Have a good one!
