Done, went with a Napa Gold and PP 5W-30. Thanks for the suggestions.

We run the lube oil system as if the turbine and generator were in operation even when we're only on the turning gear (8 rpm). This is at a 50Mw power plant.

Any more suggestions? I figured someone would chime in for a PP recommendation. That's where I was headed, but now not even sure. Is PP more $ than M1? I'd really like to change my oil today. Napa Gold for sure, but I went to a Mobil website, and someone w/ a similar ride (supercharged vehicle...

Hey Bryanccfshr, sounds like my stepson.

Pretty much 125,000 miles. <3K OCI's.

Yeah, I probably change it more than necessary. I figurred the Z-max would help, but now I'm not so sure. Oh well, as long as I don't have a catistrophic failure from it it's all good to me. BTW, OCI's probably <3K.

OCI's not a real concern to me at all. Not that I've got moey to burn, it's just an expense I'm willing to tolerate.

Quick, quick, quick! Thanks so far. Amsoil, why doesn't that sound familiar to me? Z-max, yeah fool me once...

Hey there, "03, 5.3 Silverado, 6.5psi Powerdyne supercharger. I added Z-max to everything , and I'd like some input as to which oil to go with .Guys and gals, I need help, so sorry in advance. I don't plan on Z-maxing again. Makes some tapping noises on and off, probably a rocker. Seems like I...
